Happy Hibiscus Bundle

Hi again friends,

The Happy Hibiscus Bundle (#164880) consists of the Happy Hibiscus stamp set (#164877) and the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder (#164879). The hybrid embossing folder also includes the dies which co-ordinate with the stamp set and embossing folder, which allows you to cut and embossing the flowers at the same time.

I matted the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (#163303) with Highland Heather card (#147010) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The Highland Heather hibiscus flowers were cut and embossed with the Hybrid Embossing Folder. I added glimmer to the flowers with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

The leaves from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set were stamped with Coastal Cabana ink (#147097). The inside of the leaves were stamped using the stamping off method for a lighter image. These were then cut with the Happy Hibiscus dies.

“Happy Birthday” from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099). The 2 circles were cut with the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580). The circles were taped to the card. The leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The beautiful embellishments are the Two-Tone Sparkle Gems (#164633).

Flowers Of Beauty

Hello friends,

A simple but pretty card using the Flowers Of Beauty dies (#163375). I think this would also be a lovely card for a Sympathy card.

I dry embossed a piece of Basic White card (#159228) with the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder (#165559) and attached this to the Basic White card front. This was then matted with the Bubble Bath card (#161727).

I used a die from the Flowers Of Beauty dies to cut the leafy image from the Gold Foil Sheets (#132622). This was glued to the card with the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

The flowers were cut from Bubble Bath card and Fresh Freesia card (#155614), also using the Flowers Of Beauty dies. The flowers were attached together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. These were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I added White Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics (#156310) in the centre of the flowers.

“Thinking Of You” from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set (#163490) was stamped with Petunia Pop ink (#163811). I used the smallest die from the Everyday Arches dies (#164629) to cut the sentiment. I also re-positioned the die to cut the left end off to make it shorter. The Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins (from Sale-a-bration, so now retired) were added to the card.

Woven Textures Designer Series Paper

Hi again friends,

The Woven Textures 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#165560) has a variety of woven materials and designs in various natural hues and is great for masculine cards, which I am always in need of. I love the “texture” on these designs.

I had some small strips of the DSP left from another project and of course we can’t throw out any DSP, so used them on this card. I attached the strips of DSP to a piece of Pecan Pie card (#161726), leaving a small gap in between each piece, then matted it with the Early Espresso card (#121686). This was then attached to another piece of the DSP, and attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550).

I stamped the leaves from the Textured Notes stamp set (#165548) with Old Olive ink (#147090), Wild Wheat ink (#161651) and Crumb Cake ink (#147116). These were all fussy cut.

The sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Early Espresso ink (#147114) and cut with an Around It All die (#164725). The Old Olive leaf and the sentiment were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the other leaves.

Enduring Beauty Stamp Set

Hello again friends,

The Enduring Beauty Stamp set (#162670) is easily coloured using the co-ordinating Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks (#162673).

I stamped the image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White base card (#159228). The inks to colour this are Fresh Freesia (#155611), Highland Heather (#147103), Gorgeous Grape (#147099), Granny Apple Green (#147095) and Lemon Lime Twist (#147145).

I used one of the Everyday Arches dies (#164629) to cut an area from the stamped image. I then cut 6 pieces of Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) with the same die. I glued these all together including the stamped image, using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

After cutting out the arch, I dry embossed the Basic White card with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder (#164695) and attached this to a piece of Gorgeous Grape card (#147011). I glued the arches where I had cut out the original arch. With the layers of card glued together, you can see the Gorgeous Grape edges. Not sure how much you can see this on the photo below.

The sentiment from So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink and cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems (#162611).

Thoughtful Wishes

Hello friends,

Another Sympathy card today. I like simple but elegant cards for sympathy cards like this one using the Thoughtful Wishes dies (#163313).

I cut the leafy image from the Gold from the Silver & Gold 12”x12” Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper (#162288). This was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228) which was dry embossed with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder (#164695). I matted this with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment is from the retired Painted Glass stamp set. I love the elegance of this script. This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added the Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678). The Heat Tool (#129056) was used to set the powder. I cut the sentiment with a Labelled With Love die (#163570). I daubered the edges with Wild Wheat ink (#161651) and attached the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The cross was cut with the retired Cross Of Hope dies, also using the Gold Glimmer Paper. The embellishments are the Low-Profile Dots (#164658).
