    International Blog Highlights - Winners Hop - July 2021

    Monday 26 July 2021

     

    I’m so excited to be featured in the the International Highlights Top Ten Winners Blog Hop hosted by Kylie Bertucci. I was selected to participate in this hop by finishing in the top ten of the July 2021 International Highlights. Thank you to everyone who voted for my card! The theme for the International Blog Highlights is "Thank You"!  You can check out my Art In Bloom Pocket Fold Card I shared as part of the July Hop that earned me the #2 spot!  

    Today's card features a sneak peek from the upcoming Mini Catalogue - Harvest Meadow Product Suite. I love this suite - the bundle and Designer Series Paper are stunning and the Cork Specialty Paper is amazing!  I travelled to Portugal in 2014 and was amazed at what they could make out of cork - I even came home with a purse and wallet on that trip.  And now, we have paper!


    I've used my absolute favourite piece of Designer Series Paper for this card!  What do you think!  I love the pop of cork on the Misty Moonlight and White background.

    Instructions

    1. Cut Misty Moonlight cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and fold in half to form card base.
    2. Cut Designer Series Paper 4" x 5 1/4" and adhere to card base with Stampin' Seal.
    3. Cut Misty Moonlight cardstock 2 3/4" X 4 1/4"
    4. Cut Basic White cardstock 2 1/2" x 4" and emboss using the Typeworn 3D Embossing Folder.
    5. Adhere to the Misty Moonlight piece using Stampin' Seal.
    6. Adhere to card base using Dimensionals.
    7. Cut out sprigs from Misty Moonlight card stock and Cone Flower from Cork Specialty Paper
    8. Trim both to about 4 1/4"
    9. Adhere Misty Moonlight sprigs to card base using Multipurpose Adhesive Glue.
    10. Adhere Cone Flower using Mini Dimensionals.
    11. Stamp sentiment using Misty Moonlight ink on a scrap of Basic White cardstock
    12. Cut out using label die
    13. Cut out label using die from Misty Moonlight cardstock
    14. Cut the Misty Moonlight label in half lengthwise and adhere to the top and bottom of the stamped label.
    15. Adhere to card base - use Stampin' Seal on left hand side and Dimensional on right hand side.
    16. Add Brushed Metallic Dots.

    All of the supplies to make this card will be available in my Online Store as of August 3rd when the Mini Catalogue goes live.
