For the Stamp Review Crew blog hop that featured Party Puffins earlier this week, I neglected to point out that this is a note card. I already had the HB die cut, but the proportions weren’t working until I tried everything on a 3½” x 5″ canvas.
If you can’t see the shimmery pale purple paper, you are missing out! It is one of my favorite products in the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. Specifically, the Fine Shimmer 12″ x 12″ Paper Pack (#160428 / $10.00 US) consists of six single-sided sheets, two each of Soft Succulent, Fresh Freesia (used here), and gold. Really beautiful stuff, and thin but not flimsy.
These two letters are each about 1/2″ wide by 1½” tall. Also a “coming soon” product, Alphabet à la Mode Dies (#160750 / $42.00 US) is a set of 52 alpha, numeric, and symbol dies. As someone who loves to make monogrammed and other personalized items, these versatile dies were at the top of my pre-order list. I adhered a piece of Foam Adhesive Sheet to the back of two Fine Shimmer pieces before die cutting the letters, then punched a leftover scrap with a 1/4″ hand-held punch and flat adhered it to the top of the hat.
I was so nervous about the placement of the HB and the puffin (also popped up), that I did the very thing I have cautioned others against, namely, using the embossed music upside-down! (Did you notice?)
