Zahra Premji: Trimming the Town

Thursday, October 08, 2020

Thanks for stopping by! For my project today, I used the Trimming the Town Suite of products and the Warm Hugs Stamp Set to create this cute card

I just LOVE the colour combo, Pool Party and Poppy Parade come together perfectly for a fun and cute Christmas Card!

Here's the scoop on how I made the card:

Pool Party card base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Whisper White layer - 5 1/4 x 4", embossed with Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder
Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper: 5 x 2 1/2"
Stamped and coloured the images using Stampin' Blends (see below for colours)
Cut out the images using the Home Together Dies
Created a faux bow using the Trimming the Town Ribbon Combo Pack
Heat embossed the sentiment from the Warm Hugs Stamp Set
Embellished with Wonderful Gems

Here's another project I made using the same suite, I decorated a clear acetate box and made some cute little 3 x 3" notecards. I used a 'hello' stamp to create this little project that would be perfect as a hostess gift, a gift for a new neighbour or just a little pick me up for a friend/family member!

Hey there crafty friend!

Thanks for popping by today, I have a fun project for you! As you might know, 'slimline' cards are super on trend right now, so I decided to create one! Our Creative Stampers Blog Hop this month is playing with the Trimming the Town Suite in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue. Be sure to check out the list at the bottom of this post, to check out the amazingly talented crafters participating in our Blog Hop!

I'm so in love with the Trimming the Town Suite, the stamps and dies lend themselves perfectly to creating a landscape, which works well for a slimline card. This card was inspired by Laura Milligan, when I saw her card, I just knew I had to case it! I changed up a few little details on my card, but the inspiration really came from Laura.

Here's the card:

I used a piece of the Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper as the backdrop for the card. I used the stamps and Stampin' Blends to colour in the stamps and then cut them out with the coordinating dies. Here's a fun fact: the 'Coming Home' Stamp Set is part of Stampin' Up!'s Making a Difference program...with each purchase of this stamp set, $4 will be donated to charities devoted to adoption, foster care and infertility. So not only do you get to make fun projects with this cute stamp set, you're also making a difference in the lives of so many!

Here are the details for the card:

Whisper White Thick Card Base: 8 1/2 x 7", score at 3 1/2"
Designer Series Paper: 8 3/8 x 3 3/8"
Landscape pieces - whisper white: 2 1/2 x 5 1/2" (x2)
Stamp and colour images on Whisper White
Envelope: 8 1/2 x 11", score on short side at 2 1/2", 6 1/2" and long side at 1 1/2", 10 1/2"

Isn't the patterned paper SO CUTE? There are so many amazing colours and patterns in this paper pack and it's ON SALE! Stampin' Up! is currently having a sale on their Designer Series Paper, with a huge selection of our papers on sale for 15% off! For more details, click here
