My three top picks from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog arrived yesterday, and I couldn’t wait to put them to use! You’ll see them combined on today’s card, and you can see details of the items by clicking on the pictures in my Product List below.
When I first looked at the new catalog, the Awash In Beauty Suite took my breath away. From the True Beauty, watercolored flowers and leaves to the gorgeous, Awash In Beauty Designer Paper, Organic Beauty Dies, and Iridescent Pearls; I had to have it all!
3 Top Picks
The flowers would be pretty in any color, but I chose Fresh Freesia with Night Of Navy centers for today’s flowers. Then, I stamped the leaves in Granny Apple Green, and used the Organic Beauty Dies for cutting.
The trellis was cut with another Organic Beauty Die, which you can see in the first photo. The Granny Apple Green trellis is actually the back side of Awash In Beauty Designer Paper I used for a card I’ll be posting in the future.
I glued the trellis to Basic White Cardstock that was cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die, my second favorite product in the catalog. What’s deckled? Here’s the definition: “having a rough edge; used of handmade paper or paper resembling handmade.” This torn edge “look” is perfect for neat freaks, like myself, and it comes in a number of sizes.
To go along with the Deckled Rectangles Dies is a bundle named Charming Sentiments, my third favorite product. It’s a wonderful set of sentiments with Sentiment Silhouettes Dies that cut the sentiments as if they were cut by hand. Don’t you love the look?
“Wishing you everything wonderful” is from the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set, stamped in Night Of Navy Ink on Basic White Cardstock.
It’s much easier to get precision cutting with cutting plates that are flat, so I opened a new set of cutting plates. I thought it was appropriate to have my favorite dies make the first marks on the plates. LOL!
After gluing and attaching everything, I added three Iridescent Pearls. So pretty, you’ll love them!
I was inspired by the Paper Players.
