Artisan Design Team - Texture Chic Suite

 

Hello and welcome,

My name is Vicki Boucher and I'm from Melbourne, Australia. Today I'll be sharing three projects using the Texture Chic Suite, turning them into two cards and a gift bag.

The Artisan Design Team are featuring the Texture Chic Suite on Stampin' Up! Facebook and their new Instagram page where you'll sure to be inspired by everyone's creations, I'll add the link at the end of my blog. This suite is perfect for all four seasons Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring.

Texture Chic Suite (158819)

The Texture Chic Suite  (158819) is located on page 99 of the Stampin' Up! 2022 - 2023 Annual Catalogue. The suite includes 10% Bundle Savings Season of Chic Bundle, Photopolymer (158816), Season of Chic Stamp Set (158810), coordinates with Chic Dies (158815), Texture Chic Specialty 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (158808) and Distressed Gold 12" x 12" Specialty Paper.

Thinking of You Winter Card

To create a wintery card I've used the emboss resist technique stamping the snowflake images in Versamark onto a panel of Basic White Cardstock, white Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. The colours I've used are Pool Party and Sahara Sand ink lightly adding the ink with the Blending Brush. 

I've added lots of layers to add interest to the card, starting with the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper and the crosshatch pattern die which is perfect as a background from the Chic Dies. The next three layers I've used the Tailor Made Tags Dies using three different sizes the bottom layer is the Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper, Shimmery White Cardstock inking up the stamp with Pool Party Ink, spritz water onto the stamp and then stamp onto the paper. 

The sentiment is heat embossed using Versamark ink onto Pool Party Cardstock, white Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. To finish off the card I've used Pool Party Sheer Ribbon with a Linen Thread tied into a bow and a few of the Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels. 

Thanks Autumn Peekaboo Treat Bag

This cute treat bag was fun to make and I especially like the addition of Blushing Bride with the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper. I've used the Kraft food safe Peekaboo Treat Bag stamp the leaf image in Soft Suede ink and adding more Soft Suede ink to the bag with the Blending Brush.

I've used the Tailor Made Tags for the gift tag the bottom layer is the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper then as above Shimmery White Cardstock, ink up the stamp in Soft Suede ink, spritz water onto the stamp and stamp the image onto the Cardstock. The top layer is Blushing Bride Cardstock adding the brushstroke stamp in Blushing Bride ink as a background and then heat emboss using Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder.

I added Gold Gilded Leafing to the Blushing Bride die-cut leaves which is from the Chic Dies and I love the Petal Pink Solid Faceted Gems they add just the right interest to your 3D project.

Gold and Pool Party Thanks Spring Card

To create the final card I've used Pool Party Cardstock for the card base, layered with the Texture Chic Specialty 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, I love the colours and the gold foil throughout the DSP. I even used some of the DSP for the die-cut elements from the Chic Dies. 

The flowers are heat embossed stamping the images in Versamark onto either Petal Pink or Pool Party Cardstock, Gold Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. Using Stampin' Blends to colour the flowers for more depth and shading for the flowers. I used Petal Pink Stampin' Blends for the pink flowers and Pool Party Stampin' Blends for the blue flowers. 

To create shape and dimension to your projects by using your Bone Folder to curve the edges of the flowers and leaves. This will make them stand out on your card.

The heat embossed gold sentiment fits nicely inside the largest of the label die from the Stylish Shapes Dies and I just love the addition of the Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card.
