Sharing Creativity Now Event Splendid Day Suite Gift Bag Finale

Hello! Today's the final day to celebrate the Creativity Now event from last Saturday with the beautiful gift bag that will hold the four cards made and shown earlier this weekhere on my blog.

Just as a reminder, these products will be live and available to order on July 1 at my online store (link at bottom) since they are part of the new July-December 2022 Mini Catalog.

Below is Stampin' Up!s sample. I think my project is darn close to the one below.

Here are my five projects all together. Overall they look very coordinated and would be a lovely gift for a neighbor or friend.

Now you can see the Splendid Thoughts stamp set and Splendid Stems Dies, the Soft Sea Foam Seam Binding Ribbon, the Open Leaf Trinkets, and Fine Sparkle Adhesive Backed Gems.

Splendid Day Designer Series Paper - all beautiful Foils in a variety of color shades.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing some new paper crafting ideas with the soon to be released Splendid Day Suite. So many elegant possibilities!

Sharing Creativity Now Event Splendid Day Suite Card 4

Sorry if I sound like I am complaining in today's blog post, but Card 4 of mine is a mish-mash of items and hardly looks anything like the sample. The biggest reason is I have misplaced my container of white embossing powder in my craft room somewhere.  That is very frustrating because I don't like not knowing where something is. The container isn't small either it is about 6" x 8" x 2" so that is why I'm so bugged about not being able to find it. I'll keep hunting. Hopefully it will surprise me soon!

But in the meantime, I resorted to using some retired Dazzling Diamonds Glitter Powder and that wasn't a great decision either. You know glitter goes everywhere! I have figured out to use a super sticky tape roller to keep the little sparkles under control, but a few escape anyway!

I had an extra white leafy die cut from Card 2 that I used in this card. 

Overall, this particular card isn't something I would make normally. It just seems so messy to me. What do you think? I'd love to know in the comments.

Be sure to return tomorrow to see the fabulous Gift Bag that will hold all four cards. It's going to make a fabulous hostess gift in the near future!

Sharing Creativity Now Event Splendid Day Suite Card 3

As with the past two days of blog posts using this Suite, you'll see artistic differences between my card and the Stampin' Up! version. What I didn't notice until I saw the picture again  as I was writing this post was that I missed putting on the metal leaf embellishment. Next time I will put it on when I do another card!

There was a technique used on this card that I had never tried before. Use the cutting side of your paper snips to "rough" up the four sides of the Basic White paper. 

Be sure to visit again tomorrow for Card 4 and on Friday to see the Gift Bag!

Sharing Creativity Now Event Splendid Day Suite Card 2

 Today's Sending Hugs card from the Creativity Now event is a pretty one. I decided to add Stampin' Up!s card photo so you could compare it to mine.  No matter how closely you think you are following the teacher's directions, I think there is always going to be some artistic interpretation. LOL.

I also got a little heavy handed with the white craft ink and blending brush on the Brick and Mortar 3D embossing folder. Again, artistic interpretation!

This Splendid Day Suite will be available on July 1 in the new July to December 2022 Mini Catalog.

Sharing Creativity Now Event Splendid Day Suite Card 1

On Saturday, June 18, 2022 Stampin' Up! held an online event for demonstrators called Creativity NOW!  It was slated as a four hour event with a couple 15 minute breaks built in. They were introducing a new Suite that will be available on July 1 in the new July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. Demonstrators had the option to purchase the Spendid Day Suite ahead of time, so I did. 

I have to say when I initially saw this Suite I wasn't a huge fan, but now that I've used it, it has grown on me. I wanted to stretch myself and give it a try. Over this coming week I'll be sharing all the projects I made and sharing how I changed them up a little bit.

The first card was a Wedding Card.

I thought I had everything I needed for this project, but it turned out I didn't, so I had to improvise just a little bit. I didn't have the Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends marker for the front of the card "wash" technique. My alternative solution was to use the reinkers and a water painter and create my own wash. I finished the card off with retired embellishments in Pool Party.

I really like this card with its soft colors. The demonstrator who was sharing this card idea said the leaves in this set are different varieties of eucalyptus.

If this card idea appeals to you, revisit this post after you have purchased this Suite on July 1 and have fun creating with it.
