Stampin' Up On the Horizon bundle

Stampin’ Up On the Horizon bundle

Hello Everyone – have you ordered the Stampin’ Up On the Horizon bundle yet?

I am an admin in a World Card Making Group on Facebook and this month our challenge is to make a masculine card. I knew I could use the New Horizons suite of products for my card that I have to post today. That means you get an extra idea for me today.

I love the New Horizons pattern paper as it makes designing your card so easy. I found a great pattern to use and this is what I designed.

Isn't this pattern paper so interesting. There are so many interpretations for each paper. See how I created the Stampin' Up On the Horizon bundle.

Evening Evergreen

Basic White

Soft Succulent

This suite was not one that caught my eye when I first looked at the catalog. Then during OnStage in November it was a feature of one of the presenters and I was hooked! This suite has some gorgeous pattern paper.

When I went to design my card I was really stumped. I decided to check out my challenge blogs to see what I could find. I found a great sketch challenge to use at Paper Craft Crew Challenges.

I took some liberty with the sketch square and circle elements. Check out how I addressed these elements.

I thought the grass stamp would be perfect for using on the inside of the card and envelope. I love these scribble grasses as an image on your card. They are perfect for the theme of this suite.

This scribble grass is a fun stamp in a popular stamp set. It has some great pattern paper as part of the suite. There are so many interpretations for each paper. See how easy it is to create the Stampin' Up On the Horizon bundle.

Here is how you can make the Stampin’ Up On the Horizon bundle card

emboss the 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ strip of Evening Evergreen using the Tasteful Textile embossing folder
with Tear & Tape, add the embossed strip to the card front about 1/4″ from the left edge of the pattern paper
stamp the wood stamp onto Soft Succulent card stock using Soft Succulent ink
cut out the stamped image using the coordinating die
cut out the fence from White using the die
stamp the wood stamp onto the fence using a second generation stamping with Crumb Cake
add the wood die cut to the card base using dimensionals – see photo above
use liquid glue to add to the picket at each end of the fence – attach the right end of the fence to the wood die cut – bow the fence and glue the left end of the fence to the wood die (you need to leave a little bit of the bow in the fence)
once the end pickets of the fence are stuck down well, push down of the bow to give the fence a weathered look – see photo above
stamp the sentiment using Evening Evergreen ink onto the White strip
angle cut the right side of the sentiment
