Designer Tags Dies

 Hello again friends,

I have used the Designer Tags Dies (#159165) for today’s card to cut the tag, floral image & butterfly.





I cut the tag from Blackberry Bliss card (#133682) then I cut the floral image on the tag. I then put a small piece of the White Glimmer Paper from the Berry Burst, Old Olive & White 12”x12” Glimmer Specialty Paper (#163769) behind the tag so you can see the lovely glitter through the cut out image. This glimmer paper is available from the Online Exclusives. I also cut the butterfly from this paper.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#162189), then matted with Blackberry Bliss card.

I threaded the Silver & White 1/2” Sheer Ribbon (#162149) through the top & bottom of the tag and wrapped it around the card front. The tag was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment is from Thoughtful Expressions Stamp set (#162815) and stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092). I used a die from the Happy Little Things dies (#163709). There are 2 banner dies in this set so is ideal for sentiments. The sentiment and butterfly were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and I finished the card with the Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels (#158987).

Mini Alphabet Dies

 Hello Stamping friends,

I have just had a fabulous couple of days at Stampin’ Up! On Stage I’m Melbourne. There are lots of new products coming soon in the next Annual catalogue and here is a sneak peek of the cover (can’t show you inside yet).









Now to today’s card. I have used the Mini Alphabet Dies (#162934) for “Thanks”. These were cut from Pretty Peacock card (#150886) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The 2 designs of DSP is from the Forever Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162573). I cut a piece from the right side of the Very Vanilla Base card (#106550). I matted the DSP for the front of the card with Gold Foil sheet (#132622) and attached it to the card. I added a strip of DSP on the right side of the “inside” of the base card. Then I attached the letters to this DSP.

I stamped the flower from the Lifetime Of Love stamp set (#162574) with VersaMark (#102283) and added Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I used a die from All That Dies (#159078) to cut this and attached it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

 Hello friends,

A clean & simple card  using the flowers from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set (#162815).

Embossing On Vellum

 Hello again,

I love the look of dry embossing on Vellum (#106584) which I have done on the background of this card.



I used the beautiful Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder (now retired from Sale-a-bration) to dry emboss the Vellum. When attaching this to the Coastal Cabana card (#131302), I only used adhesive on areas that would be covered, as adhesive can be seen through the vellum.

I stamped the floral image from the Adoring Hearts stamp set (#162563) with VersaMark (#102283) onto Coastal Cabana card. I added White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This card and the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) were cut with the Thoughtful Expressions Dies (#162821). These pieces were taped together, then I attached them to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I wrapped the Gold ribbon from the Silver & Gold Trim Combo pack (#161633) around the card front, then attached the card front to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Coastal Cabana ink (#147097). This was cut with an Autumn Leaves die (#162185) and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The cute little Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) were added to finish the card.

Lovely & Sweet Bundle

 Hi friends,

I am using the same image as on yesterday’s card but this time I have used the stamp set and gold embossed it. The one I used yesterday was from the DSP.





I stamped the image from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set (#162617) using VersaMark (#102283) and then added the Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056), then cut with the Lovely & Sweet die (#162626).

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (#161600). This was double matted with Real Red card (#106578) and Night Of Navy card (#106577). This was then taped to the Basic White base card.

I cut a smaller piece of Real Red card with one of the Everyday Details dies (#162864) and this was also matted with Night Of Navy card.

The stamped image was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) and cut with a Wild Ferns die (#162654). This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I coloured the Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) with Night Of Navy Stampin’ Dimensionals (#154891) and attached them to the card.

Nature’s Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper

 Hello again friends,

I’m back from my short break and with so much to do before heading off again next week for Stampin’ Up! On Stage I have made a quick & easy card today, using some leftover pieces from other products I had on my table.





I used the co-ordinating die from the Lovely & Sweet dies (#162626) to cut the image from the Nature’s Sweetness 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162616). I love how many of these images on the DSP co-ordinate with the dies as well as the stamp set.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Softly Stippled Embossing Folder which was a Sale-a-bration product. I double matted this with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) and Pool Party card (#124391) and attached it to the Basic White card front. I cut a piece of the Softly Stippled DSP (also from Sale-a-bration) and attached it to the card front.

The sentiment from Thoughtful Expressions stamp set (#162815) was stamped with Coastal Cabana ink (#147097) and cut with a Wild Ferns Die (#162654). The sentiment & die cut image were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The Iridescent Foil Gems (#162842) were added to the card.
