Medley Mix sneak peek – hello friend

September 3, 2023
2 Comments

3 Sep

We are just a few days away from the launch of the September to December 2023 mini catalogue from Stampin’ Up!. So time is running out for sneak peeks! Lol! While I still can, here’s my Medley Mix sneak peek card…

Photo of a card with lots of circles in the background in brown and orange shades.  The sentiment reads Hello Friend.

Medley Mix is a new stamp set available in my online shop on 6 September 2023. It’s a lovely set on it’s own but especially when you find out it coordinates with the Inked & Tiled punch pack from the Annual Catalogue. Although I’ve not actually used the punches for today’s card.

To decide on my colour theme I’ve turned to a challenge in The Joy Of Sets Facebook Group. They’ve specifically challenged us to use our least favourite colour and I think Cajun Craze is possibly mine! To be honest, just about the only time I use it and Pumpkin Pie is during Autumn. I also realised that I’ve not used Copper Clay very much so it’s been included too.

To begin, I stamped the circular stamp with flowers and leaves on it with Cajun Craze in the centre and then filled the space with Copper Clay,Pumpkin Pie and more Cajun Craze onto a piece of Very Vanilla card measuring 9 x 13 cm. I then added some Wild Wheat ink over it with a Blending Brush.

The Hello Friend stamp is also from Medley Mix and I used Copper Clay ink onto Very Vanilla card measuring 1.5 x 5 cm and backed it with Copper Clay card measuring 2 x 5.5 cm.

I glued my stamped panel to a piece of Copper Clay card measuring 10 x 14 cm. Before adding this to my card base I added some Burlap ribbon, fixing the ends to the back.

Then I tied on another piece of the same ribbon in a knot and added my sentiment with dimensionals…

Close up of the Hello Friend sentiment, ribbon and the pattern of flowers and leaves within each of the circles on the background card.

The final touch was to add some Copper Clay gems, for a little subtle sparkle.

I hope you like this new stamp set and the colour combination I used with it. Cajun Craze doesn’t look so bad after all!
