Painterly Pears Suite Collection | New Online Exclusives | Let’s Craft & Create #221

Hello there! Thank you for joining me today for Let’s Craft & Create Challenge #221, where we have our usual Anything Goes challenge with the option of using a punch or die-cuts. I used die-cuts and a punch featuring the new Online Exclusives Painterly Pears Suite Collection incorporating the Good Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and 6 x 6 Neutrals Designer Series Paper. I also brought many other current Online Exclusives products in other suite collections.

This year’s ephemera packs all have adhesive on the back, which is so convenient for all of your paper projects.

The Painterly Pears Suite Collection is just gorgeous and I’m seeing Christmas with these beautiful new products, that also coordinate perfectly with the ephemera from the Annual Catalog.

I mixed my neutrals today and just had fun adding little elements here and there for interest.

As always, basic and project specific supplies are below.

I started out with a piece of Early Espresso CS that was cut to notecard size and scored on the left for my card base.

I took the dotted image from Perfectly Pears stamp set that was inked up in Early Espresso ink and stamped at the top and bottom of the card base.

Next, I cut a piece of Very Vanilla Regular CS that was embossed with the Mini Corrugated EF. I splattered some gold onto this panel that was then adhered to the card base with liquid adhesive.

Two pears and one large sprig from the Good Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack where adhered to the image panel with the left pear adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Lastly, the sentiment was stamped onto Basic White Regular CS with Early Espresso ink and embossed with clear powder. The sentiment was cut to size, punched, and adhered to the image panel with liquid adhesive and Black Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. A bow was tied using Gold Twisted Thread and adhered to the left of the sentiment with a Mini Glue Dot.

Three Adhesive Backed Heart Sequins were used to embellish.

For the inside, the dots were stamped again as shown in Early Espresso ink.

The pear was stamped in Granny Apple Green with the leaves in Early Espresso, stamped off several times until I achieved the look I was after.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink and embossed with gold powder.

Another heart was used to embellish.

If you have any questions, please let me know. Have a great day and thank you for stopping by.
