Hi Stampers! Today we’ll take a look at the ON THE HORIZON BUNDLE. The bundle includes the ON THE HORIZON stamp set and the HORIZON DIES. This bundle is part of the NEW HORIZONS SUITE of products featured in the STAMPIN’ UP!®️ JANUARY - JUNE 2022 MINI CATALOG. The ON THE HORIZON BUNDLE is perfect for scene building! Today’s cards combine items from the bundle with two other stamp sets. Let’s take a peek at the cards: For an overview of the bundle and tips on using the dies view the video below. MAKING A SCENE WITH THE ON THE HORIZON BUNDLE VIDEO ON THE HORIZON STAMP SET HORIZON DIES As you can see, the stamp set and dies coordinate, but there is only one die that cuts out a stamped image, the larger outline die. This die set could easily serve as a stand alone die set. The die cuts are perfect for adding little touches to cards, and for scene building on cards. HORIZON DIE CUTS RELAX AND ENJOY CARD For this card I used the ON THE HORIZON stamp set, one of the HORIZON DIES, and a piece of the NEW HORIZONS DSP. This card will fit in a letter sized envelope. SUPPLIES * ON THE HORIZON BUNDLE * Evening Evergreen card base 6 1/4” x 7” scored and folded at 3 1/2” along the 7” side and a piece that is 2 1/4” x 1 1/2” to mat greeting * DSP cut at 2 3/4” x 5 3/4” (this was actually a scrap leftover from a previous project) * Basic White cut at 3 1/4” x 6” for inside the card, a piece for the greeting cut at 2” x 1 1/4”, and a scrap for the die cut fence * Linen thread, about 20” * Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black * Adhesive , dimensionals, tape ASSEMBLY * Stamp the bird images along the top of the DSP. Stamp the greeting in the small piece of Basic White cardstock, and adhere it to its mat. * Wrap the linen thread around the DSP a few time about 2 1/2” from the top of the DSP, secure it on the back side of the DSP with a piece of tape, and then tie it in a bow. * Adhere the die cut fence to the bottom left of the DSP. * Adhere this piece to the card base. * Adhere the greeting to the card front, placed over the linen thread lined up on the right side of the DSP. * Adhere the Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card. Stamp a sentiment on this piece if you like. I think the OCEANFRONT stamp set is a perfect set to pair with the NEW HORIZONS BUNDLE. It is a scene building set, and although it is called Oceanfront, it can be used to make all kinds of outdoor scenes or for creating interesting backgrounds for greetings, and the smaller stamps can be used for accents . OCEANFRONT STAMP SET OCEANFRONT BIRTHDAY CARD I CASEd (Copy And Share Everything) this card from the STAMPIN’ UP! JANUARY - JUNE 2022 MINI CATALOG, page 39. I changed the colors and did a few things differently, but it is basically the same card. STAMPIN’ UP! CATALOGS are great resources for inspiration, ideas, and revving up your creativity! SUPPLIES * OCEANFRONT & ON THE HORIZON stamp set and the HORIZON DIES - the greeting I used for this card is from TIMELESS TULIPS stamp set * Pear Pizzazz card base - 8 1/2” x 5 1/2” scored and folded at 1 1/4” and a small piece to mat the greeting - the size will depend on the greeting you use. * Basic White cardstock m two pieces cut at 3 3/4” x 5” - one for the focal piece and one for the inside of the card, a small piece for the greeting, the size will be determined by your greeting. * Scrap of Smoky Slate for the fence die cuts * Inks - Balmy Blue, Bermuda Bay, Pear Pizzazz, Sahara Sand and Memento Tuxedo Black * Adhesive and dimensionals ASSEMBLY * On one piece of the Basic White stamp the sky with Balmy Blue (I stamped off once on scrap paper then stamped the image on the cardstock). * Stamp the water with Bermuda Bay (stamped off). * Stamp the sand with Sahara Sand. I stamped it three times. Go over the sand with the dotted stamp (I stamped off before stamping on the cardstock each time). * Stamp the grasses with Pear Pizzazz. * On the scrap of Basic White stamp the greeting with Pear Pizzazz, trim and mat on a piece of Pear Pizzazz. * Stamp the birds image (from ON THE HORIZON) over the sky with Memento Tuxedo Black ink * Adhere the fence pieces to the focal piece. (Watch the video for tips on adhering and adding dimension to the fence). * Adhere the focal piece to the cardbase. * Use dimensionals to adhere the greeting. * I used the “Relax & enjoy your day” from ON THE HORIZON set for an inside sentiment. Stamp the sentiment with Pear Pizzazz ink on the remaining piece of Basic White cardstock, and adhere it to the inside of the card. For the final card I used a fun stamp set called BRAVE VIKINGS. It is just the cutest set! This is an anniversary card for my sister and her husband. This set is great for Valentine cards, birthday cards, encouragement cards, etc. I used two dies from the HORIZON DIES to create the mountains on this card. BRAVE VIKING ANNIVERSARY CARD INSIDE OF CARD BRAVE VIKINGS STAMP SET SUPPLIES * BRAVE VIKINGS and A GRAND KID stamp sets, HORIZON DIES * Crumb Cake card base - 8 1/2” x 5 1/2” scored and folded at 4 1/4” and a piece cut at 3 1/8” x 1 1/4” for greeting mat * Early Espresso cardstock cut at 5 1/4” x 4” for mat * Basic White cardstock - two pieces cut at 5” x 3 3/4” (for focal panel and inside panel), a piece for the greeting cut at 2 7/8” x 1” and a scrap for the mountain snow die cut, scraps for stamping the Vikings and the Viking ship * Scrap of Gray Granite cardstock for die cutting mountain * Inks - Memento Tuxedo Black, Early Espresso, Balmy Blue, Pear Pizzazz; Stampin’ Blends alcohol marker, colors of choice, for coloring the Vikings and the ship. * Water Painter, large flat brush tip * Adhesive, liquid adhesive, dimensionals, mini dimensionals ASSEMBLY * Use the Balmy Blue and Pear Pizzazz inks and the Water Painter to create a water color wash on the focal panel; Balmy Blue on the top half, Pear Pizzazz on the bottom half of the paper. NOTE - I know. I know! One should not water color on Basic White cardstock, but you can if you do so very carefully! Simply use as little water as possible and go over the areas of the cardstock only once or twice. Allow the cardstock to air dry or dry with your heat tool. If you prefer, you can substitute water color paper or Shimmery White cardstock for the Basic White. * Stamp the greeting with Early Espresso. First stamp the Congratulations from the A GRAND KID stamp set. Next use the Happy Birthday stamp from the BRAVE VIKINGS set, mask the Happy Birthday with washi tape or other low tack tape, ink the stamp, remove the mask, and stamp the “You’ve conquered another year” under the congratulations. Adhere the greeting to it’s mat. * Stamp the Vikings and the ship images with the Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White scraps. Color them with Stampin’ Blends of your choice. Fussy cut all three images. * Stamp a sentiment on the remaining piece of Basic White (for the inside) if you like. I stamped Happy Anniversary (this stamp is just a random stamp I have) * Die cut the mountain pieces and adhere together. Check out the video for tips on adhering the “snow” to the mountains. * Adhere the focal panel to its Early Espresso mat. Adhere the greeting centered about 1/2” from the top of the focal panel. * Adhere the mountains to the focal panel about 1/2 way down * Use dimensionals to adhere the Vikings. * Adhere the Viking ship to the inside panel of the card along the bottom right side. Watch the video to see how I added dimension to the ship’s sail The ON THE HORIZON BUNDLE is a great for creating cards featuring a variety of scenes. As I mentioned earlier, I think the OCEANFRONT stamp set pairs really well with this bundle. That is all for today. Thank you so much for stopping by! Until next time… Stamp Happy!
