Core Catalogue New Product Blog Hop

 

   Welcome to the Core Catalogue New Product blog hop.  If you're a first-time 'hopper', we are a hop-in-the- round, which means you should end up where you began if you visit everyone.  If you've come from Lauren, then you're in the right place.

   The New products I will be featuring are the Window die (Z3759, pg 59), the Fancy Borders die set (Z3682, pg 60), the Shaker Square Window Foam + Acetate (Z4313, pg 59) and stamp set Autumn Scene (B1722, pg 37).  

   I have also used New products from the Sept/ Oct catty, stamp set By the Fireplace (B1721, pg 36) and paper from Bloom with Grace (X7260B) and Min-In paper pack (X9019), in my second card.  Other products used include Liquid Pearls in Bisque (Z3792), New colour cardstock in Cinnamon (X6052), and inks in Desert Rose (X6525), Sundance (X6521) and Avocado (X6523), as well as a variety of new and current Tri-Blend Markers.

   Here is my first card:  (perspective is inside looking outside)

  I used paper from Bloom with Grace as the base and used Cinnamon cardstock for my vallance (window topper).  I cut the window from French Vanilla cardstock with the new window die.  I stamped the tree in Espresso, on Daisy White cardstock and filled in the leaves with Sundance, Avocado and Desert Rose (or possibly Paprika).  The lawn is cut from the Mix-in pack (X9019), using one of the Fancy Border dies. I stamped the owl and pile of leaves and fussy-cut them, then added them to the scene.  Then I affixed 1 of the Square acetate pieces from the from the Square Shaker set (Z4313) to the inside of the Vanilla window, then popped that up on 3-D tape.  The sentiment is from 1 of my retired 'go-to' sentiment sets- D1708, Sending Smiles.  I hope you like it!

   My second card is viewed at outside and looking in:

 

   For this one, I built my house out of Scarlet and Charcoal cardstock, used a generic embossing plate for the bricks and coloured the mortar of the grey bricks with a dark grey TriBlend marker.  The window is cut from Daisy white cs and the shutters from Black.  The scene is stamped with By the Fireplace (currently in the Sept/ Oct Seasonal Idea book).  I stamped and fussy-cut the swag and stockings on the mantelpiece, along with extra gifts and the chair.  I wanted the chair in the foreground, so popped it up on 3-D tape.  The scene was coloured with a variety of TriBlend markers.  Again, I used a piece of acetate from the Square Shaker Window set (Z4313) and affixed it to the inside of the window.  I overlapped the shutters slightly, on the window cut, and popped it up on 3-D tape.  

  You'll notice a little extra dimension at the bottom of the red bricks- I popped just this last row onto 3D tape, to give the effect of embossed siding on the house, not real brick at all! 

  To add some sparkle to my tree, I used Stickles and Pearls to fill in the ornaments- I think I like the Pearls better, reminds me more of Christmases at home and the ornaments we used on our trees.    Hope you like it!
