For today’s sneak peek project I wanted to show you a new stamp set and dies bundle. The Timeless Arrangements Stamp Set is chock full of great sentiments in pretty fonts. There’s also some small leaf and flower images that are very useful. The coordinating Timeless Arrangements Dies are a mixture of label-style pieces and tiny flower sprays and leaves. But the best dies in the set cut floral pieces and leaves attached to narrow strips. These can be layered behind the ‘labels’ to create quick and easy decorative pieces.

SO SIMPLE!

This card actually started out as a collection of die-cut pieces created as I was exploring the Timeless Arrangements Dies. In the end my arrangement used three of the four dies with the narrow connecting strips. From Basic White Card I cut two of the ‘berry’ pieces and one of the flowers. Next I cut two of the connected leaf piece from Vellum Cardstock. Finally, instead of using a second identical connected flower piece, I cut two small coordinating but separate flower sprigs.

I wanted the colour to be really subtle so I used Blending Brushes to colour the ‘berry stems’ with Soft Sea Foam ink. Then on the flowers I used Fresh Freesia.

For my sentiment I chose “you are so kind” from the coordinating Timeless Arrangements Stamp Set. After stamping it onto Basic White Card with Tuxedo Black ink I cut it out using the widest label die from the Timeless Arrangements Dies.

With everything prepared all I had to do was fix the various pieces on top of each other using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow). Once that was done I decided to cut a second label from Basic White Card and glue that to the back of the first, sandwiching all the pieces between them.

Now I needed a card base and for that I used my Paper Trimmer to cut and score some Thick Basic White Card. After folding it along the scored line, I sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder and glued the assembled sentiment piece to the front.

SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS

As I thought about decorating the inside of the card base and envelope I had an idea… I could use the ‘waste’ pieces from the die-cut leaves and flowers as stencils. So I cut a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White Card and pulled out a Basic White Medium Envelope. Then using Blending Brushes I simply brushed the Soft Sea Foam and Fresh Freesia ink over the stencils to add a hint of colour in the top left and bottom right corners.

Finally I glued the Basic White layer inside the card base and my latest sneak peek project was complete.

I have to say that I thought these dies would be fun and I wasn’t disappointed. But combining them with the coordinating stamp set really will open up a whole raft of possibilties. I’m looking forward to exploring these some more.

Meanwhile here’s a quick look at the Timeless Arrangements Stamp Set.

And here’s the coordinating dies.
