Country Birdhouse Treat Holder

Hey Y'all!

If I had to pick a favorite in the new Annual Catalog, it would be the Country Woods Suite Collextion. There are 2 awesome bundles, an Embossing Folder, ribbons, and 2 sets of gorgeous Designer Series Paper. I used the Country Birdhouse Bundle, Country Woods DSP, and the ribbon to create this 3D Birdhouse Treat Holder.

I just love 3D projects! Yesterday was Stampin' Up's event, Creativity Now, an online event for Demonstrators. We were able to preorder a suite of products from the upcoming July-December Mini Catalog, create projects using it, and preview some new products and see behind the scenes how some of them were designed. My team and I gathered for the event, and, because we are crazy like that, we also designed project to make. Because you can NEVER craft too much lol! Watch for a post about Creativity Now and the projects we made. But I just had to share the one I designed because I love how cute it turned out!

Shout out to Julie Gilson (Stampin' Gala) for the box measurements. Once you die cut all the pieces, it is very simple to put together.

See how the back of the box looks like wood grain? This look can be achieved by dragging and ink pad (we used a Stampin' Spot) across the paper. If you are like me and love the wood grain look, you can create your own using this method.

Thanks for stopping by today! If you would like a project sheet to make this, email me at ninassouthernaccents@gmail.com with "Birdhouse Project Sheet" in the subject line, and I will send it to you.

New In-Colors featuring Thoughtful Wishes Bundle-New @ SU! Blog Hop

Hey Y'all!

Welcome to my blog! Today I am hopping with my friends at the New at SU! group, and we are sharing projects made with the 2024-2026 In-Colors. Every year, with the launch of the new Annual Catalog, comes 5 new colors called "In-Colors." They are available for 2 years, so each year the colors that came in 2 years ago rotate out, we keep the 5 that came in the last year and get 5 new ones. We keep the core colors in the color families-Neutrals, Regals, Brights, and Subtles, but the In-Colors allow trending colors to be brought in. Is that clear as mud? If I have confused you, just know that we have 5 new, beautiful colors to play with!

To show them off, I used a brand new bundle called Thoughtful Wishes and a new 3D Embossing Folder, Dotted Circles. The Thoughtful Wishes bundle is part of a suite called Thoughtful Journey. I will feature more products from this gorgeous suite in the future, but for this project I just used a sentiment from the stamp set and one of the dies.

Embossing folders are one of my favorite ways to add texture! I even use them on my envelope flaps, such a fun way to decorate an envelope. I wanted you to see how big this one was-you can see it compared to an A2 sized card. I hope we see more like this, it will open up so many possibilities for larger sized cards and even scrapbook pages.

I kept this card fairly simple. It is easy to mass produce to send to my customers to introduce the new colors. To recreate this project, begin with a standard Basic White card base-4-1/4 x 11, scored in half. Cut strips 3/4 x 4 and place on a Basic White panel measuring 4 x 5-1/4. Hint:

Use your grid paper to help you space the strips 1/4 inch apart.

Run the panel through the embossing folder, then adhere to card front. Die cut the flower image in Basic White and adhere. Stamp sentiment in Versamark onto 1/4” strip of Basic Black, heat emboss with White emboss powder, then cut ends at an angle with snips. Adhere to card front with dimensionals. Tie a bow with Linen Thread and attach with a glue dot.

Now hop through and see all of the other beautiful projects everyone has created! But, before you go, scroll down and leave a comment letting me know which of the new In Colors is your favorite.

Vintage Daisy Birthday Card

Hey Y'all!

If you love the vintage style, today's project is for you! I needed to make a birthday card, but wasn't sure of the style the person liked. I did some recon...don't you like the way that sounds lol....and found out she likes vintage, 70's type stuff. I was also told if she were a flower, she would be a daisy. So here is what I came up with:

The Fresh As A Daisy Suite was the perfect choice! The colors in the DSP have that retro 70's vibe.

I started with a Copper Clay cardbase and stamped the medium daisy image in versamark around the edge. This is a great way to create a tone-on-tone look. I roughed up the edges of the DSP with my snips and curled the corner, my go to for the vintage look. For the focal image, I die cut the daisy image in Basic White, then added the layer of Lemon Lolly. I adhered this to a piece of Basic White cropped with a Deckled Rectangle die, used a Blending Brush to add Pretty Peacock ink, then embossed with the Timeworn Type embossing folder-one of my favorites and it is retiring! You can snag it on sale until the end of the month, but only while supplies last!

I also die cut 2 the twiggy images from Pretty Peacock cardstock and attached them behind the rectangle. I die cut the label and stamped the birthday greeting in Pretty Peacock. For the bow, I cut a strip of the Pretty Peacock and Gold ribbon in half, then looped one of those pieces with a length of Copper Clay Jute, and attached it to the back of the label. The speckles came from flicking the brush tip of my Light Copper Clay Stampin' Blend over the card. The Adhesive Backed Solid Gems that are part of the suite added the final touch.

Here are the measurements if you want to CASE this card:

Copper Clay Cardbase-8-1/2 x 5-1/2, scored @ 4-1/4
DSP 5 x 3-3/4
Basic White, Lemon Lolly, and Pretty Peacock for die cut images

Scroll down to see all the products used, just click on the image to go to my online store!

Just a reminder, the Cheerful Daisy stamp set and dies are carrying over, but will not be available at the bundle discount. Check out the Last Chance Products to save on bundles carrying over, and also to snag some of those retiring products before they are gone!

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope I have inspired you to try some of these fun techniques. What is your favorite thing about this card? Let me know in the comments!
