Every Tiny Victory

January 20, 2019 Leave a Comment

As I mentioned yesterday we are expecting a powerful storm to hit us sometime today. In fact as you’re reading this we might be in the thick of it. So I thought it would be prudent to try to get a few projects made ahead of time. With that done, I’m hoping to get the blog posts written just in case we lose power. If I can get today and tomorrow done before that happens I will consider that a victory.

So for today I have a Simple Sunday project for you, this pretty bookmark.

Simple bookmark with Celebrate Every Tiny Victory sentiment from the Vibrant Vases Stamp Set and vase and flowers from the Varied Vases Stamp Sets, both from Stampin' Up!

A SIMPLE START

I start all my bookmarks with a 2″ x 5-1/2″ piece of card. This time I shaped the top of the Very Vanilla piece with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.

I chose the Varied Vases Stamp Set for the decoration, and stamped the vase in Crumb Cake ink. Next I inked up the flower stem with Granny Apple Green ink but left off the bottom inch of the stem. Then I stamped the stem coming out of my vase.

Finally I inked up the flower image with Gorgeous Grape ink and stamped it onto some scrap paper. Then I lined up the flowers over the stalk and stamped them without reinking the stamp.

TWO-STEP STAMPING – This process of building an image using more than one stamp is called ‘two-step stamping’. It’s a simple process made even easier as Stampin’ Up! use see-through photopolymer material for these kind of sets.

CELEBRATE EVERY TINY VICTORY

As amazing as it might seem my project was already nearing completion.

Next I chose the ‘Celebrate every tiny victory’ sentiment from the Vibrant Vases Stamp Set. Then using Tuxedo Black ink I stamped it above the flower images.

Finally I threaded a length of Highland Heather 1/4″ Organdy Ribbon through the slot at the top of the bookmark. Once I’d tied it in a simple knot I was done.

BUNDLE BONUS – On page 45 of the Stampin’ Up! 2018/2019 Annual Catalogue you’ll find the Varied Vases Stamp Set included in a bundle with the coordinating Vases Builder Punch. I didn’t use the punch today but buying the punch and stamp set together will save you 10% off the cost of getting them separately. The new Vibrant Vases Stamp Set also coordinates with this punch making it all the more useful. So I’ve included a link to the bundle in my product list in case you want to look at this in more detail.

ORGANDY RIBBON

The 1/4″ Organdy Ribbon used on my bookmark is actually one of the free items you can get when you place a $60 order (before shipping and taxes). Actually what you get if you choose the Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack is 5 spools ribbon. There’s 5 yards each of Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Grapefruit Grove, Lemon Lime Twist, and Highland Heather. The colours have been chosen to coordinate with the Gingham Gala 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and Gingham Gala Adhesive Backed Sequins in the 2019 Occasions Catalogue.

This is a very popular item as you can imagine, and unfortunately it’s currently on back order. This means you can add it to your order, but there will be a delay in shipping it to you. More stocks are expected to arrive at the Stampin’ Up! warehouse around February 11th.

So with my Sunday blog done I consider that a small victory. Now to get to work on my blog post for Monday.
