This week we’re having fun with the Hugs for Love bundle that released in the Stampin’ Up! January Mini catalog. Today, we’re playing with patterns with a mixture of stamping, embossing, and patterned papers. And I really love this combination of our featured bundle with the new Timeless Plaid paper, the Distressed Tile embossing folder & the Nature’s Sweetness foiled paper.
Our design today gets started with a base of Boho Blue cardstock. I used the Distressed Tile embossing folder to make a partial impression of the plate on the card front. Using the Hugs for Love label stamp, I stamped a repeating pattern in Early Espresso directly on the sheet of Timeless Plaid paper. A strip of silver trim is tied at the top. The sentiment panel combines the label stamp and sentiment from the Hugs for Love stamp set and is punched with the coordinating To the Point label punch. I cut 2 panels of the Nature’s Sweetness foiled grid paper using the largest Mixed Labels dies and used them to reiterate our patterns and ground the sentiment panel for emphasis. Using the Mixed Labels die, I cut a small grid detail from white glimmer paper and tucked it behind the sentiment, tying our sentiment panel elements together nicely. A combination of silver and gold Drusy embellishments pull together all of the shimmery elements, giving a cohesive look to the entire design.
Tomorrow we’re going to play with a sketch from the new mini catalog. I hope you’ll stop by and check it out!
