new catalog sneak peek – layers of beauty bundle

I am super excited today to be able to give you a sneak peek into the upcoming new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. The demonstrators that attended OnStage Houston were able to get an advanced copy of the catalog before anyone else and we were able to participate in the Product Purchase Premier – were we could purchase some of the items in the catalog before customers and other demonstrators that did not attend the convention. One of the items I saw demonstrated at OnStage was the Layers of Beauty bundle which includes a coordinating stamp set and dies but also a decorative mask set that helps color the flowers and leaves of the large stamp quickly and expertly!
Measurements for the main card:
BASE: Mossy Meadow 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Mossy Meadow layer: 4″ x 5 1/4:
Basic White layer 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scrap for the sentiment die
Old Olive scraps for the leaves dies

Stamp the large flower and leaf stamp in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto the 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″.

Place the first mask marked with a 1 in the top left hand corner and rotate the mask until the stamped image aligns with the mask openings. Take a pencil and mark the notch with a pencil onto the paper. This notch will help to guide where to place the other masks.

Using a small Blending brush, color the areas open with Fresh Freesia ink.

Without removing mask #1 color the open daisy areas with another light color I chose Daffodil Delight.

Remove the mask and this is what the Basic White layer will look like after mask#1.

Place mask #2 on the Basic White layer and rotate until the openings align with the stamped image. Using a blending brush and Berry Burst ink color through the opening. This is what it will look like after the 2nd template.

Place mask #3 on the Basic White layer – line up the notch and color through the openings with Blackberry Bliss.

Place mask#4 over the stamped area and rotate until the notch is lined up and using a blending brush color the leaves in Old Olive.

This is what the stamped image will look like after the Old Olive is rubbed into the openings.

Line up #5 mask with the notch mark on the Basic White layer and color the openings with Mossy Meadow ink and a Blending Brush.

This is what the Basic White layer will look like when you are done with the mask coloring portion! It is stunning!

Fold the 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ card base of Mossy Meadow in half at 4 1/4″ and adhere the 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer to the front after you emboss the layer with the DIstressed Tile 3D embossing folder.

Die cut the flower image in the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine and place Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back. Attach the large die cut of flowers to the embossed layer.

Die cut 3 large and 3 small leaf dies from the Layers of Beauty die set. Adhere them under the flower die sticking out in all directions!

Stamp the sentiment in Mossy Meadow and die cut with the second smallest circle die from the Everyday Details die set.
Adhere to the embossed layer.

attach three Ombre decorative dots to the sentiment piece and the card is gorgeous and complete!

Try a decorative mask today to elevate your card and this bundle will be available May1st or better yet come to my Open House May 1st 1-3pm and see it for yourself!

Happy Stampin’
