Boughs & Blossoms for Around the World on Wednesday | Sketch 101

Boughs & Blossoms Bundle | 2022-2024 In Colors

Hello and welcome to the Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop!  We are glad you have joined us and look forward to spending time with you as we share inspiration with you from our first sketch challenge.  So sit back and enjoy your favorite cuppa as you enjoy your trip Around the World on Wednesday!

Today's Project

This month's sketch was the perfect way to showcase the new 2022-2024 In Colors with a bundle from January-June 2022 Mini Catalog (pp 26, 77) that has not gotten enough love.  The images from the Boughs & Blossoms Bundle were perfect to create a handful of cards to share with my customers this month. 

Project Details

The Boughs & Blossoms Cling Stamp Set was used to create the heat embossed background on each color from the 2022-2024 In Color Cardstock using VersaMark ink and a white Stampin' Emboss Powder.  The 2022-2024 In Colors are Sweet Sorbet, Party Parakeet, Tahitian Tide, Starry Sky, and Orchid Oasis.  This amazing stamp set has multiple solid images ideal for stamping to create quick, simple cards.

Four different images were randomly stamped and heat embossed on the 2-2/4" x 5" cardstock strips. A fifth image along with a sentiment was stamped in the coordinating ink on a 1-1/2" wide strip.  The coordinating In Color Baker's Twine was double wrapped along both edges with the top section being tied off with a bow.  The Bough Punch was used with Vellum Cardstock for a special touch behind the embossed layer.  The Basic White layer was die-cut with the notebook edge from the Blooming Happiness Dies.  The embossed layer was adhered to the die-cut layer with Stampin' Dimensionals.  

The inside was stamped and layered to compliment the front.  The die-cut edge was the focal point for the inside allowing for plenty of room for a handwritten note to the recipient. 

The envelope fronts and flaps were stamped in coordinating inks to compliment the card fronts providing a sneak peeks for what's inside.
