Top Note Die

I've been having a play with the new Top Note Die that Stampin' Up! has in the latest mini catty. This die is so versatile - I just love it!

Firstly I have created this card:

The inspiration for this card was from a colour challenge on this round of UStamp. The colours to be used were Barely Banana, Melon Mambo and Bashful Blue.

I have used one of my favourites stamp sets - 'Upsy Daisy' and a sentiment  from the 'Sweet Little Sentiments' stamp set. The image has been stamped onto Whisper White cardstock with Versamark ink and I have coloured it with pastels. Isn't the ribbon just gorgeous? It is the new Melon Mambo polkadot ribbon from the new mini catty.

This second project is actually a giftbox with a card on top:

Again I have used the Top Note Die to create this project but this time I have used the Emerging Colour Technique. The images I have used are the Large Medallion stamp and the Vintage Vogue Stamp set. Colours used are Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Really Rust and Baha Breeze. The flower has been made with the large flower punch from Stampin' Up. Unfortunately it is not available in Australia yet. My punch was actually gifted to me by  a lovely and talented lady named Dawn Rapsas from UStamp. I encourage you to visit Dawn's blog and join up with UStamp. You will get to make some fabulous projects and meet some very talented ladies from all over the world!

If  you would like some further information on any of the projects or techniques I have used here, please feel free to email me.

Happy stamping!!
