EDEN'S GARDEN STAMP CAMP-TO-GO

Each month I hold a Stamp Camp-to-Go.  Today, I am sharing a little peek at the cards that were in January's kit.

Each of those that sign up for my Stamp Camp-to-Go (SCTG) receive a kit with all required cardstock and embellishments.  The participants must have the bundle of the month and ink to complete the cards.  A tutorial is also provided with detailed assembly instructions, pictures, and special hints to make each of the cards.

If you are interested in participating in a future Stamp Camp-to-Go, please subscribe on the right and you will receive my Fairless Stampin' Flair Newsletter which provides a 3 month look-ahead for which bundles will be featured each month.  You will be added to my contact list and will also receive the invitation with all details on how to participate.  

On the last Tuesday of each month a Zoom Preview is held for the next month.  This allows participants to see the cards before they decide if they want to participate in the next month's Stamp Camp-to-Go.  During the Zoom, I also provide pointers and hints for making each of the cards as well as a recommended list of ink colors (or substitutes) that will be needed.

This week on Fairless Stampin' Flair, I will be featuring additional cards that were created with the Eden's Garden Bundle.  Free Tutorials will be available for all featured cards.

For those that participated in the January SCTG, this provides an added benefit of additional ideas for the bundle they purchased.

For those that didn't participate you still have the benefit of the ideas and FREE TUTORIALS.  Remember, for all cards, these are just meant as ideas.  You can also substitute other products to make them your own.

EDEN'S GARDEN & GOLD SPECIALTY

 Happy Friday Stampers!

I have another project for you using the Eden's Garden Suite of Products.  No new Fancy Folds for you today, but just a beautiful card.  In fact, it might be my favorite one of the week!  Did I save the best for last?  Which was your favorite card of the week?

My hands-down favorite part of this card is the Gold Metallic Specialty Paper.  This was a new paper in the Annual Catalog, and I had purchased it quite a white ago, and then totally forgot all about it!  That was a mistake!  I came across it in my stash of 6" x 6" paper this week and I can ensure you that you will be seeing this again.  It comes in Gold and in  Rose Gold and it is stunning!  I can't wait to try the Rose Gold!  This metallic paper looks like it has a heavy texture to it, but it is much smoother to the touch than it looks.

To make today's card I covered the Thick Basic White base with another of the pretty specialty papers from Ever Eden Designer Series Paper (DSP).  There is also a strip of the Ever Eden Cotton Paper tucked behind lower die cut.  Can you see it? 

The color I used was the Evening Evergreen cotton, but this interesting paper also comes in Soft Succulent.  The cotton paper is a very lightweight paper -- almost like tissue paper, so I will definitely be spending more time playing with it to figure out where its personality shines best!

I stamped the largest floral image from the Eden's Garden Stamp Set in Soft Succulent on another of the designs from Ever Eden DSP but before putting the ink to paper, I used a blending brush to lighten the edges of the stamp a bit.

Two of the border dies were cut from Basic White and used to highlight the "Hello There" Sentiment.  The gold glimmer bow also draws attention to the sentiment.

One of the great advantages of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is that we can order some products before they are available to customers.  When I ordered my Eden's Garden products the gems were not yet available, so I used my 2021 - 2023 In-Color Jewels to add a bit more sparkle.  The Evening Evergreen Jewels coordinate beautifully and give that bit of accent color and sparkle.  

At the time of this writing, the Garden Gems are now available.  Like the Ever Eden Specialty Papers, the Gems are only available while supplies last, however availability of the Eden's Garden stamp set, and Eden dies will continue in the January - June Mini.

Of course, you know I didn't forget to decorate the inside of the card.  I cut the border from the same designer series paper as was used to cover the card front.  I added a sentiment from the Eden's Garden stamp set heat embossed with gold embossing powder.  Isn't this a nice sentiment?  Do you ever wonder who thinks of the ideas for sentiments?  Those people have a fantastic gift and a way with words.  I confess, I have lots and lots of sentiment stamps sets, but I don't have a sentiment that is anything like this one!

If you would like to know all the dimensions and how-to-steps to make this card, I have a FREE TUTORIAL HERE!  You can also check out the product list below to see what items I used to make this card.  If you missed that Gold and Rose Gold Metallic Specialty Paper in the Annual Catalog you really should check it out.  Just don't put it away and forget you have it like I did!  It's too pretty to be hidden in a box.

EDEN'S GARDEN TRIPLE SLIDER

I'm sharing another card today made with the Eden's Garden Suite of Products.  These Products are now available for purchase on my Stampin' Up! store.

Today's card is a Triple Slider card and is another new fancy fold that I learned at the recent retreat I attended.  I love learning new techniques and ideas, and I love being able to share them with you! 

The above image shows the card as you start to slide it open.  The center panel slides to the right and the top and bottom panels slide to the left.

You are getting more pictures than words today because as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words -- maybe not in the world of Blogger algorithms, but pictures certainly are better to show how this fancy fold card opens.  Isn't this an interesting fancy fold?

I used the Eden's Garden products again today, and today, you also get to see a few of the  dies that are part of this bundle.  Isn't this gold foil border die-cut a pretty way to highlight the "Hello There" sentiment?  I love the font used for this Sentiment.  Pretty script fonts that are easy to read are some of my favorites!

The triple-slider card base is made with Soft Succulent, one of my favorite colors from the 2021 - 2023 In-Colors.  A couple of sprigs of Evening Evergreen foliage, made with the coordinating Eden Dies provide a nice accent as they peek out from behind the framed sentiment.  The little gold bow and Brushed Metallic dots provide a pretty finishing touch that brings out the gold in the Ever Eden Designer Series Paper.

Of course, the inside of the card cannot be forgotten!

The gold foil border at the bottom was made with another die from Eden Dies, and the foliage in the upper left corner was stamped with Evening Evergreen ink and a stamp from Eden's Garden.

What do you think of today's Fancy Fold?  Would you like to try to make a card like this?  I have a free tutorial available that provides you with all the dimensions and step-by-step directions to create this card.  How about giving it a try?  It's not as difficult as it looks!  Leave a comment to let me know how it turned out.

EDEN'S GARDEN SNEAK PEAK

Starting tomorrow the Eden's Garden Suite of products will be available for purchase so today I'm sharing a sneak peek with you of a project I created using the Specialty Designer Series Paper and stamp set.  This suite does include some beautiful dies as well, but they are not used on today's card.  You'll need to come back another day this week to see those.

Today's card is a Dutch Door fold.  This is a fancy fold that I learned at a retreat I participated in recently, and I thought it would be a great way to showcase the beautiful designer series paper from Eden's Garden.  Since this pretty specialty paper has gold in it, I decided to splurge and mat each piece of designer series paper with gold foil.  

,

The large floral image on the front panel is a Distinktive style of stamp.  I had never tried heat embossing with a Distinktive stamp before so wasn't sure how it would tun out, but I was pleasantly surprised.  The subtle shading and details that we get with Distinktive stamps show up beautifully with the gold heat embossing.

To keep the gold theme going, I added three Brushed Metallic adhesive dots to the front of the card.  These new Brushed Metallic embellishments have quickly become one of my favorite items in the Fall Mini catalog.  Have you checked them out?

The sentiments in Eden's Garden are also unique, and I particularly like this one for a "just because" card.  

To decorate the inside of the card I stamped some of the foliage from the Eden's Garden stamp set and added another strip of the beautiful designer series paper.  It's all set off by another gold mat.  

I have a hint for you on a way to get the most from your gold foil paper.  We all know that foil cardstock is more expensive than paper, so when you want to use foil as a mat behind a fairly large piece of card stock like the inside of this card take one of your rectangle dies and die cut the center section of the foil that is covered up by the Very Vanilla mat.  You can then use that die cut piece on another project and stretch your foil a little further!  For this card I used the center of the inside mat to create the lower Dutch Door mats for the front of the card.

I hope you'll come back the rest of this week to see what other ideas I'll share using the Eden's Garden Suite of Products.  Remember, tomorrow it will become available for you to purchase it for yourself!

Since Eden's Garden is not available until tomorrow, I am not yet able to add it to the product list below, but here is an image of the products that will be available in this suite.

If you would like to have all the details on how to make this Dutch Door Fancy Fold, you can access a FREE TUTORIAL here.
