Here’s another card using some of the new “Online Exclusives” products Stampin’ Up! introduced on March 1st. I’m happy with the way my Hello, Irresistible I Like You Card turned out! The paper, stamps, and dies are all part of a very nice Suite, the Hello, Irresistible Suite Collection.
These Online Exclusive products are new offerings that Stampin’ Up! will come out with periodically so that we always have some fresh new things with which to create without waiting for the next catalog. It doesn’t mean that your Demonstrator can’t order these things for you if they usually put in your orders, as I do for several of my customers. The products will only be online and not in any catalog.
The Hello, Irresistible Suite Collection includes the Irresistible Blooms Bundle (stamp set and dies), the Hello, Irresistible 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, and the Loose Frosted Dots. As I write this blog post, the Loose Frosted Dots are backordered which means that the Suite Collection cannot be ordered. But you can order everything else separately except the Frosted Dots and then get those when they come back in stock. You can ask me when they are expected as soon as Stampin’ Up! posts a date. The Hello, Irresistible Designer Paper is really pretty and easy to use with some of the dies that will cut out certain flowers and leaves. Besides the flowers and leaves, the dies include a long detailed swirly die and a swirly circle shape die both of which can be used for interesting looks on your projects.
This card has a Basic White card base and is layered with a light green pattern in the Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper. After diecutting the swirly circle, which cuts itself as a hole in the paper, not as a separate circle, I evened it up on all four sides to be square (or close to it!) and layered that on a piece of Petal Pink Cardstock. I thought it could use a little more interest, so before adhering, I stamped the Petal Pink cardstock with flowers in the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set randomly using Petal Pink ink (or you can use Versamark ink for that watermark look). The flowers don’t stand out, but they make the background look slightly better!
I also die-cut a flower out of the designer paper plus some leaves using the Irresistible Blooms Dies. You can use these dies for stamped images or the flowers on the designer paper which is great! The flower is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals®. The greeting is from the same stamp set, stamped in Petal Pink ink, and then die cut with the angled die in the Something Fancy Dies.
If you desired, you could add some sparkly embellishments like Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels or some sequins or the Loose Frosted Dots when they come back in stock! You could adhere those Dots on the little circles on this swirly element! The Take Your Pick tool would be handy to use with those Dots since they need to be glued on.
