Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop - November 2020 | All About Texture

Welcome to my blog along the Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop!  This month eighteen of my Stampin' Up! Demonstrator friends are joining me in this worldwide hug that stretches all the way from New Zealand to Hawaii across thirteen different time zones.  Together we will share sunshine with you through projects from our individual parts of the world on this second Wednesday of November 2020.

This month's theme will take you through The Market as we focus on TEXTURE!!!  So sit back with your favorite cuppa and enjoy your trip Around the World on Wednesday!

Are you wanting to reach out to touch these cards?!?  If so... your senses will soon be overflowing!

Imagine that you are enjoying yourself on a lovely, cool Autumn day at a local fair in your community... lots of favorite smells from years past are delighting your nose as you meander along to find the source.  But wait!  You spy a warm, fuzzy throw that would make the perfect gift for a friend or family member for the holidays.  Something that you would be tempted to purchase several of as your list grows longer.  While checking out, you are intrigued by the personal touch the vendor used to wrapped up the throw(s) with a complimentary ribbon and a tasteful touch for this Season of Giving.  With your arms full like your heart, you spot a custom wooden sign across the way that would make the perfect gift for your best friend.  Happy with this additional purchase you decide to carry the throw(s) atop the wooden sign.  You notice a chill in the air as the sun goes behind the clouds and feel snowflakes falling on your face... you look down and smile as the snowflakes float to cover the ground... ahhhhh!  It's the most wonderful time of year!

Stamp the Buffalo Check stamp with Soft Suede ink onto a  4" x 5-1/4" piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.  Apply Coastal Cabana, Poppy Parade and Night of Navy inks with blending brushes (or sponge daubers, if you have them or wait til January to order some from my online store or better, yet, you can order them next month if you join my team!) to create the soft pastels of the "throw blanket".  Trim to size (approx. 3-1/4" x 4-7/8") as pictured and emboss with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.  Wrap a piece of Mint Macaron 1/2" Basket Weave Ribbon (from the Gilded Autumn Suite!) around the throw, tie a knot and fray the tails after arranging.  Die cut a bough from the Beautiful Boughs Dies with a scrap of Mint Macaron cardstock.  Die cut the berries from the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper using the Poinsettia Dies.  Die cut the snowflakes from the So Many Snowflakes Dies with Vellum cardstock.  Stamp the Wrapped in Christmas sentiment in Soft Suede ink onto a scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and die cut with the Tasteful Labels Dies.  

Apply Soft Suede ink to the raised side of the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder and emboss with a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock measuring 3-5/8" x 5-1/8".  Adhere the throw blanket layer to the debossed wood layer with liquid glue.  Wrap a piece of Mint Macaron Basket Weave Ribbon (secured on the back with Tear & Tape Adhesive) around a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Soft Suede cardstock.  Adhere the previous layers with liquid glue to the Soft Suede layer which is in turn adhered to the top folding vertical Soft Suede cardbase.  

Adhere the bough, berries and snowflake dies with Mini Glue Dots.  Adhere the sentiment with Stampin' Dimensionals using the double adhesive to adhere the snowflakes to the card front.

Continuing the theme to the inside, roughen the left side of the 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Very Vanilla cardstock by rubbing the side with of a Bone Folder several times.  Stamp the Wrapped in Christmas sentimentin Soft Suede ink onto the Very Vanilla cardstock.  Stamp the bough image from Peaceful Boughs in Coastal Cabana ink and off stamp on scrap paper twice before stamping over the sentiment.  Stamp the bough similarly on the envelope front and flap.  Stamp the sentiment in Soft Suede ink for a finishing touch on the envelope.

This second card was inspired by many of the crafty items that you saw at the fair.  There is nothing like a crafter saying "I can make that!", right?!?  Well, in my case, I couldn't make the inspiration that I purchased from Hobby Lobby aka my 2020 craft fair, but it was used for inspiration for this 4-1/4" square card using my much loved letterpress technique to mimic the etched wood.

Ink the layered boughs (click here for details) with Soft Suede ink and emboss on 4-1/4" square piece of Whisper White cardstock.  Repeat.  Wipe a dry Broad Water Painter across Soft Suede ink and brush across the letterpressed layer to create a weathered look.  Repeat until desired.  Die cut the center with a Tasteful Labels Die.  Stamp the Tasteful Touches sentiment image in VersaMark ink onto a 4-1/4" square piece of Soft Suede cardstock.  Spinkle with White Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat emboss on low with your Heat Tool.  Run Stampin' Seal closely along the back of the die cut opening and along the edges.   Adhere to the embossed Soft Suede cardstock.  Fold a 4-1/4" x 8-1/2" piece of Whisper White Thick cardstock in half and burnish with a bone folder to create a top folding card base.  Adhere the layers to the front of the card base with liquid glue.  

The inside is just as important as the card front!  Adhere the negative die cut to the inside top panel with liquid glue to continue the theme.  Stamp the bough image in Soft Suede ink on a Whisper White Medium  Envelope to complete the finishing touch.

  

I hope these projects using products from the 2020-21 Annual Catalog and the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog have inspired you to think of ways that you can use them yourself with your projects to create texture!  Now, hop along with me, Angie McKenzie, to see more Wednesday inspirations from my amazing friends Around the World.  Just click the daisy below to go to Mary’s blog to see what textures she's been inspired with for her project, or scroll down the name list to follow along because you sure don't want to miss any.
