I am excited to showcase the new Light The Year Bundle. It’s in the September-December Mini Catalog on page 41. It’s sweet, simple, and full of possibilities. The mixed font sentiments in the Stamp Set are also sweet, simple and truly send a beautiful message!
The Light The Year Stamp Set is photopolymer. Looking closely at the lanterns, you can see the Stampin’ Up! Design Team did an outstanding job with the designof the lantern images. They have amazing dimension, as do the ribbon bows, candles and pine cones.
I chose to feture two lit lanterns in my element cluster. You can add a third, and maybe a few more pine cones. Creating a set of tags using just a single lantern would be pretty, as well. And, how about a few 3″ x 3″ note cards? This would make a beautiful little gift. There are so many possibilities for the elements in the Light The Year Bundle. I will be showcasing more projects in future posts.
I put together a Video Tutorial to show you how quick and easy it is to put this element cluster togeher. Once you get to know the Bundle, you can create beautiful projects using the lanterns as your focal point. Have fun with color, as well. You can go in so many different directions with these lanterns. Although, this is a holiday card, I think an Autumn themed lantern would be beautiful, as well.
So, let’s make a card!
Pieces And Parts
- I cut a Basic Beige cardstock card base 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, and scored it at 4 1/4″ on the long side.
- The Country Woods DSP top layer for the card front is 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″.
- I stamped the lanterns and candles with Pebbled Path ink.
- The ribbon bows are stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink, and the pine boughs are stamped with Mossy Meadow ink.
- I used a little bit of Lemon Lolly ink and a Sponge Dauber to lightly brish the ink to the inside of the lanterns.
- The pine cones are two-step stamping. The linear stamp is stamped with Early Espresso ink and the layering stamp is stamped with Crumb Cake ink.
- The filler pieces are die cut using Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow cardstock.
- I stamped the sentiment with Pebbled Path ink directly to the DSP card front top layer.
The inside of the cad is stamped with one of the sentiments from the Stamp Set. For a little interest, I added a stamped pine bough.
The Video Tutorial below shows details to put this card together. There’s also a Project Sheet Tutorial you can download.
So, cut your card base, add a top layer of patterned paper, stamp the lanterns, boughs, and pine cones, and create a pretty element cluster. Send it off to family and friends for the holidays.
… the only limitation is your imagination!
