Today I'm excited to be taking part in another ESAD Bloghop, this time celebrating the start of the 2018 Annual Catalogue, which has just launched a couple of days ago.
I'm featuring a card I've made for a dear friends milestone birthday. It's been a while since I've made a card-in-a-box, and I wanted to create a B-I-G impact, so I've supersized my cardbase to 6 1/2 x 8 1/2" to make the 3D floral scene pop.
The card base is Tranquil Tide, and I've used the Share What you Love Specialty Designer Series Paper and co-ordinating Love What You Do stampset, and I've coloured the flowers with my Pool Party, Bermuda Bay and Rich Razzleberry Blends. I've also added some Mint Macaron leaves from Naturally Ecletic, and for added dimension I've used the Celebrate You thinlets, and different sized hearts from Wood Crate framelits and Up & Away framelits to add to my pop-up scene, which are cut from the new Rose and Sparkle Glimmer Paper. Everything matches beautifully with the DSP.
The number 50 is also cut with Sparkle Glimmer Paper, with the sadly now-retired Large Number dies, and backed onto a pearl doily.
Did you notice the Butterfly from Springtime Impressions popped onto the back there?
Of course, the whole card folds flat to fit into an envelope, which I have made using the Punch Board, and I used a whole sheet of 12x12 Rich Razzleberry cardstock scored at 5" - my card just squeaks in with millimeters to spare!
I really hope my friend likes it!!!
Next, to showcase the new 2018-2020 In-colours, I've made a co-ordinating set of cards, in the same basic design. Mixing old and new, I've used carryover stampsets, dies and punches, from Naturally Eclectic bundle, Wood Words, Jar of Love and Pretty Little Label sets. The silver twine also carrys over into the new catalogue, but the Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and texture stamp from Artisan Textures are new.
This is a close-up of the Blueberry Bushel card, which I've paired with Call Me Clover and Lemon Lime Twist.
Lovely Lipstick is paired with Petal Pink and Grapefruit Grove.
