stampin’ up! artisan design team blog hop – peace & joy bundle…

08.20.20…..Happy Thursday, everyone! Hope everyone’s had a chance to squeeze in at least a bit of stamping and papercrafting this week!  If you’re already hopping along with us today, you probably just came from Stesha’s blog.  Aren’t her projects gorgeous!?!  If you’ve just started your hop, the Artisan Design Team is featuring projects created with the Peace & Joy Bundle from the new August – December 2020 Stampin’ Up Mini Catalog! Not only does this bundle include a stamp set full of festive images and sentiments…it also includes a wonderful set of “word” dies with additional coordinating dies that can be used to add extra layers underneath! Soooooo cool!!! The team has some absolutely amazing projects to inspire you today, and you will not want to miss a single one!

Today, I’m sharing a three project that I created with the Peace & Joy Bundle. I’ve also included complete instructions underneath each card, so you can scroll right to the card that suits your fancy and start creating!

Let’s start with the “bright” card…

For this card, I started with some Whisper White Cardstock, embossed it with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder, added a bit of 2020-2022 In Color 6″ x 6″Designer Series Paper on top, and used a few Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the panel to a Whisper White Thick Cardstock base. I then used another piece of Whisper White Cardstock, along with the branches and berries stamps (from the Peace & Joy Bundle). I stamped the berries in Magenta Madness, and the branches in Pretty Peacock and Old Olive. (I also stamped off” a few of the images.) Once I was done stamping, I embossed the cardstock with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. I then added some speckling with my Light Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends Marker. (To create the speckling, I “flicked” the thick end of the marker against the marker cap.) On top of that, I added a small piece of Whisper White Cardstock, cut out with one of the Tasteful Labels Dies.

To create the “bright” die cut, I used Sponge Daubers to add the following ink colors to a some Whisper White Cardstock…Magenta Madness, Pretty Peacock, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, and Old Olive. I then cut it out with the “bright” die (from the Peace & Joy Bundle) and layered some Whisper White Cardstock underneath (cut out with one of the coordinating dies). Before I popped it up with a few more Stampin’ Dimensionals, I tucked in a bit of Old Olive Gold-Trimmed Satin Ribbon (cut in half vertically), from the All the Trimmings Ribbon Combo Pack. The little sentiments (also from the Peace & Joy Bundle) were stamped in Magenta Madness, cut out, and popped up with a couple of Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. For a bit of bling, I sprinkled on a few Woven Threads Sequins, and a couple of Artistry Blooms Sequins.

Next up is the “peace” card…

For this card, I started with the “peace” stamp (from the Peace & Joy Bundle), and stamped it multiple time on some Whisper White Cardstock. Before I stamped the image, I used Sponge Daubers to add the following ink colors to the stamp…Magenta Madness, Pretty Peacock, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, and Old Olive. (I “stamped off” the image a few times as well.) Once I was done stamping, I embossed the cardstock with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. I then added some speckling with my Light Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends Marker. (To create the speckling, I “flicked” the thick end of the marker against the marker cap.)

Layered underneath the cardstock, is a small strip of 2020-2022 In Color 6″ x 6″ DSP. Before I used a few Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere it to a Whisper White Thick Cardstock base, I tucked in a bit of Old Olive Gold-Trimmed Satin Ribbon (cut in half vertically), for the All the Trimmings Ribbon Combo Pack. The little sentiment (also from the Peace & Joy Bundle) was “stamped off” in Magenta Madness, cut out, and popped up with a couple of Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. For a bit of bling, I sprinkled on a few Woven Threads Sequins, and a couple of Artistry Blooms Sequins.

Last, but certainly not least, is the “joy” treat bag…

For the gift tag, I used Sponge Daubers to add add the following ink colors tosome Whisper White Thick Cardstock…..Magenta Madness, Pretty Peacock, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, and Old Olive. After I cut it out with one of the Stitched Nested Label Dies, I then added some speckling with my Light Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends Marker. (To create the speckling, I “flicked” the thick end of the marker against the marker cap.)

To create the “joy” die cut, I used Sponge Daubers to add Magenta Madness and Coastal Cabana to a small piece of Whisper White Cardstock, and cut it out with the “joy” die (from the Peace & Joy Bundle), and layered some Whisper White Cardstock underneath (cut out with one of the coordinating dies). Before I popped it up with a few more Stampin’ Dimensionals, I added another layer of Whisper White Cardstock (cut out with the largest coordinating die), and also embossed it with the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder. Tucked underneath, is a bit of Old Olive Gold-Trimmed Satin Ribbon (cut in half vertically), for the All the Trimmings Ribbon Combo Pack.

To attach the tag to the Printed Gusseted Cellophane Bag, I punched a hole (with the Detailed Trio Punch) at the top of the tag, and used several loops of Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. For a bit of bling, I sprinkled on a few Woven Threads Sequins, and a couple of Artistry Blooms Sequins.
