Artisan Design Team - Artfully Composed Suite Collection

 

Hello and welcome,

My name is Vicki Boucher and I'm from Melbourne, Australia. Today I'll be sharing three projects using the Artfully Composed Suite Collection, turning them into a slimline card, standard card, gift bag and gift tag.

The Artisan Design Team are featuring the Artfully Composed Suite Collection on Stampin' Up! Facebook page where you'll sure to be inspired by everyone's creations, I'll add the link at the end of my blog.

The Artfully Composed Suite (157765) is located on page 32 to 34 of the Stampin' Up! Jan - June Mini Catalogue. This beautiful suite consists of Artfully Layered Stamp Set (157752), Tropical Layered Dies (1457760), White 3/4" Frayed Ribbon (158138), Faux Sea Grass Shapes (158139), Vellum 12" x 12" Layering Designs (157764) and Artfully Composed 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (157750). I just love how it all works together and the beautiful lush tropical images. 

Hey There Slimline Card

To create my slimline card, start with Crumb Cake Cardstock measured at 8.5cm x 21cm, lightly adding Crumb Cake Ink with the Blending Brush to the edges of the cardstock and also a little of Evening Evergreen Ink.

Stamp the larger images first to the panel using Evening Evergreen and Calypso Coral Ink for the lush tropical images. The script writing is stamped in Versamark Ink giving a tone on tone effect. Using a Blending Brush add Calypso Coral Ink to the stamped images in Calypso Coral.

I love all of the images from the Tropical Layers Dies they add so much more detail to your creations. I added Soft Suede and Old Olive Ink using a Blending Brush to the Vellum Layering Designs and then die-cut the images out using the Tropical Layered Dies. 

On one side of the Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper has hand painted tropical designs and on the other has small print patterns such as stripes, polka dots and scripty writing. I used the small print designs like the Calypso Coral Designer Series Paper, die-cut out using the detailed leaf die to add different elements to my project.

To finish off my card I coloured in the White Frayed Ribbon using Evening Evergreen Stampin' Blend. I also added a few of the Old Olive Faux Sea Grass Shapes to my card.

Happiest Birthday Whishes Card

My next card is a standard size card, starting with Sahara Sand Cardstock for the panel, to create the background use the solid palm leaf die-cut image, with your Blending Brush and Evening Evergreen Ink to create a faux masking technique.

I've used the Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper and die-cut out using the Tropical Layers Dies for lots of interest and layers to the card. 

The palm leaf stamp image from the Artfully Layered Stamp Set would have to be my favourite out of all of the images in the set. I've stamped the image in Crumb Cake Ink onto Crumb Cake Cardstock and Evening Evergreen Ink onto Evening Evergreen Cardstock, then die-cut out using the Tropical Layers Dies. 

This time for the White Frayed Ribbon, I coloured it in using Crumb Cake Stampin' Blend. The other elements are a strip of Calypso Coral Cardstock die-cut out using the stitched pinking edge die and for a natural look I just couldn't go past the Linen Thread, tied it in a bow.

The sentiment is stamped in Versamark Ink onto Basic Black Cardstock, White Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. Then fussy cut out using the Paper Snips. I coloured in the Faux Sea Grass Shapes using Evening Evergreen Stampin' Blend.

Ombre Gift Bag and Thank You Tag

My last project is a quick simple gift bag with a fancy gift tag, using the soon to be retired Ombre Gift Bag (155479) in Evening Evergreen and all I did was stamp the large leaf image in Evening Evergreen Ink onto the gift bag. 

To create the fancy gift tag, use the Tailor Made Tags (155563) which I just love to mix and match adding different sizes/shapes to your projects. I've die-cut out using the Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper in Calypso Coral and Evening Evergreen. 

Layering on top of the tags is a range of stamped and die-cut images, the palm leaf in Sahara Sand, Evening Evergreen, Calypso Coral and Vellum Layering Designs inked up using Soft Suede Ink with the Blending Brush.

Using the White Frayed Ribbon, I coloured it in using light Calypso Coral Stampin' Blend. To create thin strands from the Calypso Coral Frayed Ribbon by pulling apart the wide ribbon. Once it is frayed, thread it through the gift tag hole and hold it in place. I added a few of the Faux Sea Glass and coloured the clear ones using Crumb Cake Stampin' Blend.
