Brightly Gleaming Metallic - A Christmas card - 2019 Holiday Catalogue Sneak Peek

A Christmas card featuring the Brightly Gleaming Suite of Products in the 2019
Holiday Catalogue by Stampin' Up!

This card features quite a few products from the Brightly Gleaming Suite in the new Holiday Catalogue. 

I've used the alternate side of the Hammered 3D embossing Folder to create the texture on the Black Foil Sheet.

I glued the ornaments, which are from the Brightly Gleaming Foil Elements pack, to discs of Silver Foil which I punched with the 1" Circle Punch.  The 1" circles are a little larger than the ornaments, so I trimmed off the excess with my snips.  TIP:  Holding the snips angled slightly under the edge of the ornament gives a better result.  However, it doesn't really matter if there's a bit of silver edge.

Mercury Glass #Elfie - Holiday Catalogue 2019 Sneak Peek

Not long now ... the new Holiday Catalogue takes effect from 4 September!  And it's AWESOME!!

Mercury Glass Acetate makes a great snowy background for this #Elfie Christmas card

I just love versatile products that can be used in lots of ways and this catalogue is chock full of versatile wonders!

For example - the glorious Mercury Glass Acetate that I've used over Basic Black cardstock for this background.  There are two patterns in the pack and 2 12"x 12" sheets of each.  They arrive with a protective coating on one side that is easy to peel off when you're ready to use a piece - and it's easy to trim to the size you want.

The #Elfie images are great to colour and are also versatile.  I've trimmed away part of the image so that this little elf can lean against the striped ribbon that is doubling for a pole.

I coloured the image with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.

Having torn the top edge, I added a Whisper White panel to represent a snowy foreground and added some shadows with a light gray alcohol marker.

I cut the greeting using a die from the Ornate Frames die set and then sponged on an edge of Silvery Shimmer ink.  I couldn't decide with frame I liked best, so I made another card!

Brightly Gleaming on Stylish Scroll - A Christmas card - Sneak Peek of 2019 Holiday Catalogue

A Christmas card featuring products from the gorgeous Brightly Gleaming Suite  and the Stylish Scroll
Embossing Folder all in the 2019 Stampin' Up Holiday Catalogue

I'm totally obsessed by the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper that forms part of the Brightly Gleaming Suite of products in the 2019 Holiday Catalogue.  It's GORGEOUS!

The base card is Pretty Peacock to which I added a layer of Copper Foil Sheet embossed in the new Stylish Scroll embossing folder.  The copper picks up the beautiful copper foil patterns in the Brightly Gleaming papers and the Star Designer Elements.

The ornaments are punched from the Brightly Gleaming papers with the Gleaming Ornaments Punch Pack.  I also punched the shapes from Night of Navy cardstock and glued them behind the decorative shapes to add shadow and definition.

The greeting is stamped with Pretty Peacock ink and cut out with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies (which I resized using this method).  I then layered this onto another strip of Very Vanilla card.

Ink it! Stamp it! International Design Team Blog Hop - Sneak Peek - Holiday Catalogue: Basic Pattern Decorative Masks

Welcome to the Ink It! Stamp It! Design Team Blog Hop - we hop every month so be sure to pop back and visit us again!  

Today we are providing sneak peeks from the new Holiday Catalogue!

You are currently at my page - Stephanie Fischer, The Crafty Thinker.  At the end of my post there is a full line up of team members, please click on the name after mine in the list to continue the hop.

I have chosen to use one of the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks (page 35 - 150697).  There are four patterns in the collection and all of them are very versatile so they can be used all year around for any type of card.

An all-purpose card featuring one of the Basic Pattern Masks and Silvery Shimmer ink
that can be found in the 2019 Stampin' Up Holiday Catalogue

Here I've used two of the patterns, in each case sponging over the mask with some of the new Delicata Metallic Ink (Page 16) which is available in gold, silver or copper and refills are also available.  I've used the Silvery Shimmer (150709).

In the first card (above), I've kept it very simple and made an all-purpose card (I'm thinking birthday, get well or sympathy).  

I stamped the image from Beautiful Day with the Silvery Shimmer ink onto Basic Gray cardstock and added some shading with the Basic Black Stampin' Blends Combo alcohol markers before hand cutting.

I gave the otherwise monochromatic card a pop of colour with a little piece of Mint Macaron Textile Ribbon.

A Christmas Card made with the Basic Pattern Masks and Peaceful Boughs Bundle
Products featured in the 2019 Stampin' Up Holiday Catalogue

Then I made a Christmas card with another of the masks and the Peaceful Boughs Bundle (page 15 - 153033).

Using the same Silvery Shimmer ink, I sponged through the mask onto Basic Black cardstock.

TIP:  The Delicata Metallic Ink is a pigment ink so it dries quite slowly.  To avoid the chance of smudging, allow plenty of time for it dry or if you're impatient (like me!) you may want to give it a quick burst with your heat tool.

A close up attempting to show the effect of the Ice Stampin' Crystals

After I'd cut them out, I added some of the new Ice Stampin' Crystals to the silver boughs for that extra icy touch of bling.  Using a Fine-Tip Glue Pen makes it easy to add the glue to small pieces of foliage.

The sentiment is one of two included in the Peaceful Boughs stamp set and the frame (which I cut from Real Red cardstock) is one of two frames included in the coordinating Beautiful Boughs Dies.  

Thank you so much for joining us today and we hope you'll join us again next month when we'll be sharing projects inspired by home decor.

I'm Stephanie Fischer and to keep hopping around see the list below to see who is up next with another great project.

Pop Of Petals On A Basic Pattern - Sneak Peek 2019 Holiday Catalogue

This card features another of my experimental backgrounds using the new Basic Pattern Decorative Masks - a sneak peek from the 2019 Stampin' Up Holiday Catalogue.  You can see another one here and there'll be more coming up on Friday 23rd August.

A card featuring a background made with the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks from the 2019 Holiday Catalogue
and the Pop Of Petals stamp set with coordinating Four-Petal Flower Punch.

This time, I spritzed through the mask with my very diluted Bermuda Bay ink then I removed the mask, rinsed it, patted it dry and then repositioned it slightly down and to the left of the original sprayed pattern.  I then spritzed with a dilution of Blueberry Bushel ink.

Well, I think I should have allowed the first layer of ink to dry more, because the Blueberry Bushel ink bled a little bit and also pooled under the mask in one area.  The overall effect was not what I had envisaged and my first reaction was to throw it away.  But then the thriftier side of me kicked in and I decided to simply cover up the worst of the splodges!  What would you have done?

My splodgy background, saved by covering up the splodges with flowers!

My Pop of Petals stamp set and coordinating Four Petal Flower Punch is very under-utilised, so I decided to make a little cluster of flowers with them.

Using a template and Stamparatus to quickly stamp punched (or die cut) shapes.

When previously using this set, I had made myself a little template for easy stamping with the Stamparatus, so it was quick and easy to punch out the shapes, quickly align the stamp and then stamp the flowers.
