Hello and welcome to the New Catalogue Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using product form the New 2023 – 2024 Annual Catalogue. Today I am showcasing the spotlight technique using the Calm & Quiet stamp set and the Stampin’ Blends Pens.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the calm and quiet card, you will need:

Old Olive card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Smoky Slate card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

I stamped the lakeside scene in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and die cut a circle from the image using one of the stitched circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

I set the die cut circle aside and adhered the stamped panel to the Smoky Slate layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The same glue was used to adhere the layer to the Old Olive card base.

Plant in the Window card

Here is a pretty plant in a window card made using the Perfect Plants stamp set, Perfect Plants Dies together with the Window Dies.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the plant in a window card, you will need:

Gray Granite card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Basic Black card – 5⅝” by 3⅞
Sun Prints dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic Black card – 4¼” by 3”
Basic White card – 3 ½” by 2 ¼”
Design A Daydream dsp – 4¼” by 3”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White & Garden Green card

 

Using the Window dies, I cut the window from the piece of Sun Prints dsp. I then ran the negative dsp piece through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder. I glued the piece of Design A Daydream dsp  in position behind the negative space of the window aperture. The embossed Sun Prints dsp was then glued to the larger Basic Black panel.

I die cut the same window shape from the smaller piece of Basic Black card. This was inserted into the negative space using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The struts for the window were die cut from the small panel of Basic White card and added into the negative space.

Using an image from the Perfect Plants I stamped the pot in Cajun Craze ink. I die cut the plant using the Perfect Plants Dies and die cut the plant from scrap Garden Green card. These were then added inside the window frame. The whole panel was added to the Gray Granite card front using Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Plentiful Plants stamp set was stamped on scrap Basic White card in Cajun Craze ink. I masked off the part of the sentiment I didn’t want to use using a Post It Note. I trimmed it down and added it to the card front.
