SAILING ON A MOUNTAIN LAKE

Would you like to go sailing on a beautiful mountain lake like this one?  Doesn't it look like a peaceful place to relax? 

It's Monday and time for a new featured bundle.  As I indicated yesterday, we used the On the Horizon Bundle for our May Stamp Camp-to-Go (SCTG), so this week I'm sharing some "bonus" ideas for my May Stamp Campers!  If you didn't participate in the May SCTG, I hope you will still enjoy these cards.  If you would ever like more information on my SCTG class, sign up for my Newsletter and you will receive all the information.

The cards this week will all use the On the Horizon Bundle, but today I also used the Let's Set Sail Bundle.  Both of these bundles are still available in the Jan - June Mini Catalog.  The Let's Set Sail Bundle has carried over into the new 22-23 Annual Catalog, but the On the Horizon Bundle did not.  So, if you haven't purchased this beautiful On the Horizon Bundle and the New Horizon designer series paper yet, don't wait too long and miss out!  The paper is GORGEOUS!  Even if you decide you don't want the bundle, you will LOVE this paper.

The New Horizon Designer Series Paper is a 6" x 6" collection, and the scenery is beautiful.  When I chose today's scene, I couldn't help but wish I was boating on this lake.  I live on a lake and when my lake looks like this, I just want to hop on my kayak or pontoon boat and take a ride!

The Let's Set Sail Bundle includes a Sailboat Builder Punch making it very quick and easy to stamp the two sails and boat and then just punch them out!

For the sentiment I used the new Stylish Shapes Dies.  These new dies have quickly become a go-to die set for me.  The flag dies are great for sentiments, and one fits this sentiment from On the Horizon stamp set perfectly.  I love the stitching around the dies.  Click on the Product Link below to see all the shapes included in the set.

I had fun stamping the water and the boat on the inside of my card, and you can also see a peak of the envelope to see that I stamped it again on the front.  The boat is made with three stamps, the boat & mast, the front sail and the rear sail.  This makes it easy to have different colors, and because it is a photopolymer stamp set, they are super easy to align!

I hope you enjoyed our sailboat ride on this peaceful mountain lake today.  I'm looking forward to soon being able to get out on my lake!  What are you looking forward to as we move towards summer!

MAY ON THE HORIZON STAMP CAMP-TO-GO

For my May Stamp Camp-to-Go Class the On the Horizon Bundle was featured.  This set is perfect for scenic cards -- which just happen to be some of my favorite kinds of cards to make. These are the cards that were part of this To-Go class.  I also used the New Horizons 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Collection for the cards which coordinates beautifully with the Bundle.

This week on my Blog I will be sharing additional cards made with the On the Horizon bundle.  If you were a Stamp Camp-to-Go participant, I hope you will come back on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to get some additional inspiration on how to use your On the Horizon Bundle.  If you did not participate in the May Stamp Camp-to-go, I hope you will be inspired to investigate this bundle further.

The On the Horizon Bundle is in the Jan - June Mini Catalog but it did not carry over into the new 22-23 Annual Catalog, so if you would like it, don't wait too long!

If you would like more information on what a Stamp Camp-to-Go is and learn how you can participate in a future Stamp Camp-to-Go, subscribe on the right to my Fairless Stampin' Flair Newsletter.

Each additional On the Horizon card I share this week will have a FREE TUTORIAL available for download.

Hope to see you back here tomorrow!

BRANCH OUT WITH NATURE'S PRINTS

Happy Friday!  I have another card made with Natures Prints today.  I've had a lot of fun playing with this Sun Prints Suite of products.  I think it's going to make my "favorites" list.

I still have lots of ideas swimming around in my head for this Nature's Prints Bundle, so you are likely to see it again.

For today's card, I used the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper on the left side, and the following color inks for the stamping: Gray Granite, Pacific Point, Night of Navy and Soft Sea Foam.  The border was stamped randomly with these colors, and it showcases a couple more of the "leafy" stamp images.  You have now seen every leaf image at least once on this week's cards.  I love the Fern Stamp.  It is so light and delicate that it makes a perfect stamp to use to fill-in areas that need a little something -- but not too much.  You can also stamp over it without it dominating the new image.

After I finished stamping the leafy images, the Basic White cardstock was embossed with the Splatters embossing folder from Stripes and Splatters to add a little texture.

The Nature's Prints Dies also include one die that is perfect for sentiments, and I've used it on today's card.  The Best Wishes sentiment has the pretty casual scripty font as do all four of the sentiments in this stamp set.  Do you like this particular sentiment?  It seems to me like it can be very versatile and used for many occasions.  What do you think?

For the inside of the card, I used one of my favorite ways to quickly add a little decoration.  No naked insides, right?

I placed a strip of Sun Prints Designer Series Paper on a strip of Pacific Point and just added it to the left side of my Basic White cardstock.  Add a Pacific Point Mat and the inside is cleanly simple, but still pretty.

BEAUTIFUL SHAPES & NATURE'S PRINTS

Today I combined the Beautiful Shapes Dies with this week's featured bundle Nature's Prints.

First, I embossed the card front with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card front.  Next, I cut multiple hexagon shapes from the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper using one of the Hexagon Dies from Beautiful Shapes Dies.  I layered those hexagon shapes on the card front to create a design in the lower left half of the card.  You can see nine of the twelve prints in the Sun Prints 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper in these hexagons.  Aren't they pretty?

The floral focal point was made with two of the stamps in the Nature's Prints Stamp Set.  The obvious one is the small flower which also has a coordinating die in the Nature's Prints Dies.  The second stamp is the "Splat" (for lack of a better word) on the background behind the flower.  I stamped the flower with Black Memento and colored it with the Light Night of Navy Stampin' Blend. I did use the Color Lifter to lighten it in some areas.  The "Splat" is stamped-off Gray Granite ink.  The Gray Granite and Basic White Hexagons were made with the two largest Hexagon Dies from Beautiful Shapes Dies.

The sentiment was stamped on Basic White with Night of Navy Ink and die cut with another die from Beautiful Shapes Dies.  After die-cutting the flower, I added a bit of Wink of Stella to make it sparkle.  To finish the card front I added a small bow made from the White Crinkled Seam Binding.  Turning it into Navy ribbon was quick and easy with my Dark Night of Navy Stampin' Blends.  A couple of Basic Rhinestones on the sentiment and one of the larger ones in the center of the flower add just the right amount of bling.  (I love bling!)

To decorate the inside of the card I added a few more hexagons die cut from Sun Prints DSP.  Behind the card, you can also see a peak of the envelope where a few more hexagons were used to decorate its front.

What do you think?  I was happy with how the card turned out.  I've always loved the Night of Navy and Gray Granite color combination, and the Sun Prints DSP combines it beautifully.

NATURE'S OMBRE GLIMMERING WREATH

It's Monday and time for a new featured bundle of the week.  This week I am featuring a new Suite of Products from the 2022 - 2023 Annual Catalog.  The Suite is called Sun Prints and the Collection includes beautiful 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper of the same name.  Also included is the Nature Prints Bundle of stamps and coordinating dies, and my favorite new embossing folder, Fern 3D.

Today's card uses the largest leafy branch stamp and the wonderful wreath die from the Nature's Prints Bundle.  I die cut the wreath from the 2022-2024 In-Color Glimmer Paper.  It is a pack of 6" x 6" Ombre Glimmer paper with 4 sheets of each of the 5 new In-Colors and it is stunning.

Can you see the glimmer?

The Basic White background was embossed with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder, and the lower portion of the card is one of the Designer Series Papers from the Sun Prints DSP Collection.

The Nature's Prints stamp set includes 4 sentiments.  Don't you love the casual scripty font on the Hello?  Each sentiment uses this pretty font.  I used the Beautiful Shapes Dies to create the sentiment.

Since the Sun Prints DSP Collection has the following colors: Starry Sky, Night of Navy, Pacific Point and Gray Granite, I chose to use Starry Sky for my mat layer and my stamping.  I love this new In-Color.  In fact, it might be my favorite of the five--at least this week.

I embellished the card front with Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon and a few Basic Pearls.  Even with all the other new embellishments we have, I never get tired of simple white pearls.

I kept the inside of the card simple.  Using Starry Sky ink, I stamped a portion of the same branch as used on the front of the card.  Next, the Basic White was matted to Starry Sky cardstock and then to the inside of the Gray Granite card base.

This new Sun Prints Suite will be available for purchase tomorrow, so consider this a little "sneak peek".  I hope you like it and be sure to check it out so you can see all the items included in the Suite in more detail.
