Positive Thoughts & Nature’s Thought Dies

Hello,

I was so pleased when the Nature’s Thoughts Dies (#153586) became available to co-ordinate with the Positive Thoughts stamp set (#c151490). This card is 21x15cm, so A4 cardstock folded in half.

I used Whisper White card (#106549) and Gorgeous Grape card (#147011). I stamped the ferns from the Positive Thoughts stamp set with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Shimmer White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#149511). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The Silver Glimmer Paper (#146960) was cut with a die from the Painted Labels Dies (#151605) and attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The flowers and butterfly from Positive Thoughts stamp set were stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099), using the stamping off method for the flowers. I stamped the butterfly onto Vellum (#106584) and attached this to a butterfly cut out from Gorgeous Grape card. The Gorgeous Grape leaves were cut with a die from the Natures Thoughts Dies, and the Silver Foil (#132178) was cut with a die from the Birthday Dies (#153590). The detailed border piece was cut with a die also from Natures Thoughts. The sentiment is also from the Positive Thoughts stamp set and cut with a Layering Circles Die (#141705).

I hope you are having a great weekend.

Music From The Heart

Hello everyone,

Sorry for my absence over the last couple of weeks but have been on holidays. Today’s card is simple, especially when using the Stamparatus (#148187) to stamp the piano keys.

The card is Whisper White (#106549). I stamped the piano keys using the Stamparatus, and Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I then fussy cut at the bottom of the keys and attached a piece of Silver Foil Sheet (#132178). I also used the Stamparatus to stamp the lines to ensure they were straight. All the stamped images are from the Music From The Heart stamp set (#p151674). The 3 small hearts are stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) and I coloured the heart on the treble cleft with Light Real Red Stampin’ Blends (#147933). I fussy cut the treble cleft and attached it to the card with Stampin Dimensionals (#104430).

Nice and simple!!

Last A Lifetime

Hello again,

I had a floral image left over from yesterday’s card so decided to use it on this card today.

The flowers and sentiment are both from Last A Lifetime stamp set (#c151479) and stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138) on Very Vanilla Card (#106550). I coloured the floral image with Stampin’ Blends - Seaside Spray Combo (#149569), Old Olive Combo (#144597), Dark Mango Melody (#147944) and Dark Poppy Parade (#146879). The circles were cut with the Layering Circles Dies (#141705). The scalloped circle is Blueberry Bushel card (#146991). The hearts were cut with a die from the Lasting Elegance dies (#151475) from Poppy Parade card (#121694) and attached using Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I decided I didn't want “all my” as part of the sentiment so covered it with the hearts. The sentiment was cut with a Stitched So Sweetly Die (#151690). The beautiful card is from the Bird Ballard Laser-Cut Cards & Tin (#149595). I attached the Seaside Spray card (#150889) to the inside. The ribbon is Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon (#150446). This is a carryover product from the 2019 Holiday catalogue, so still available. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the scalloped circle to the card, then finished the card with Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#146924).

Have a great day.

I wouldn’t have thought I would use Country Club Designer Series Paper (#151314) for a feminine card, but was looking for a blue designer paper and then found this one and yes it worked.

All the stamped images are from the Last A Lifetime stamp set (#c151479) and stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138). The sentiment was cut with a Stitched So Sweetly Die (#151690) and the flowers were cut with dies from Lasting Elegance. The flower images were coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Seaside Spray Combo (#149569), Old Olive Combo (#144597) and Dark Poppy Parade (#146879). The sentiment and flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The cardfront was attached to the Very Vanilla base card and Noble Peacock Rhinestones (#149494) were added to the sentiment and card.

Peaceful Poppies Elements

Hello friends,

A very quick and easy card using the Peaceful Poppies Elements (#151327).

The Peaceful Poppies Elements have a range of die-cut printed accents, printed vellum, watercolour paper with poppy designs and some black elements like the label I used on this card. The card stock is Whisper White (#106549) and Poppy Parade (#121694). I stamped “Thank You” from the Painted Glass stamp set (#c148220) using Poppy Parade ink (#147050). I attached the elements using tape and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

Yes, very quick and easy.

These elements could be used for a variety of projects and would be great on a scrapbook page. Will have to find some suitable photos.

Have a great day.

Music From The Heart

Hello & welcome again,

Because Stampin’ Up! have so many beautiful co-ordinating products, I find it difficult to just stamp, but I have done it on this card. I have fussy cut the treble clef symbols.

The sentiment is stamped with Pineapple Punch ink (#147141) and the little hearts with Poppy Parade ink (#147050) and Rich Razzleberry ink (#147091). I attached the White card to Basic Black card (#121688) and the base card is Pineapple Punch (#146994). I attached the treble clefs with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). All the stamped images are from the Music From The Heart stamp set (#151674). Simple stamping!

Last A Lifetime Bundle

Hi everyone,

A very elegant card but very easy using the Last A Lifetime Bundle (#c153736).

There are 2 dies from the Lasting Elegance Dies (#151475) which cut the corners of the Whisper White Card (#106549). I then stamped the small flowers from the Last A Lifetime stamp set (#c151479) using Lovely Lipstick ink (#147140). The sentiment is from the same set, then cut with a die from Stitched So Sweetly Dies (#151690). Before threading Whisper White 1/4” Crinkled Seam Binding (#151326) through holes I made in the label, I coloured it with Lovely Lipstick ink using a Sponge Dauber (#133773). It is so easy to colour white ribbon to match any colour you require. Stampin’ Blends are also great to use. The sentiment was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I attached the card front to a piece of Champagne Foil Sheet (#144748), then this was attached to the Lovely Lipstick base card (#146993). From The Heart Faceted Gems (#151154) were attached to the sentiment.

Enjoy your day, hopefully doing something creative.

Timeless Tropical

Hi everyone,

I’m using the gorgeous Timeless Tropical stamp set (#151497) again today.

I stamped the Hibiscus and leaves with VersaMark (#102283) and Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109131), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). These were then cut with the In The Tropics Dies (#151495). The Coastal Cabana (#131302) leaves are cut with a die from the Nature’s Thoughts Dies (#153586) and the Silver Foil Sheet (#132178) buds were cut with a Happy Birthday Die (#153590). I sponged the edges of the Coastal Cabana leaves with Bermuda Bay ink (#147096) as well as the inner part of the flower. The flowers and leaves were layered onto a piece of Bermuda Bay card (#131286) which was cut with the rectangular die from Nature’s Thoughts dies, then embossed with the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder (#151503). Happy Birthday from Music From The Heart stamp set (#p151674) was stamped with Bermuda Bay ink on Whisper White card (#106549). This card was sponged around the edges with Bermuda Bay ink, then attached to the Whisper White base card. I finished the card by adding a Rhinestone Basic Jewel (#144220) to the centre of the Hibiscus.

Enjoy your weekend.

Forever Blossoms

Hello friends,

A cute little gift or note card today using the single flower from the Forever Blossoms stamp set (#151457). This card is 10.5 x 10.5 cm.

Using the Stamparatus (#148187), it is very easy to stamp these flowers (or any image) in a circle. I drew the 2 squares as shown on the next photo onto the Grid paper. The squares measured 9cm. 

Then as shown in the next photo, I placed the Whisper White card (#106549), measuring 9cm on the square. Then I placed the stamp in position and stamped it with Melon Mambo ink (#147051).

Leaving the stamp in place on the Stamparatus plate, I turned the square card to the next point of the square as shown in the next photo.

I stamped the next flower with Pacific Point ink (#147098) and continued till all images were stamped, alternating the colours and moving the card to the next point each time.  I stamped an extra flower with Melon Mambo and cut it with a die from the Cherry Blossoms Dies (#151456). I punched the corners with the Detailed Trio Punch (#146320). The sentiment is from the Timeless Tropical stamp set (#151497) and stamped with Pacific Point ink. I used a Stitched So Sweetly Die (#151690) to cut the sentiment and attached it to Pacific Point card (#116202). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the extra flower was also attached with a Dimensional. Rhinestones from the Noble Peacock Rhinestones (#149494) were attached to the centre of the flowers. The card front was attached to Pacific Point card and the base card is Whisper White.

I hope you have had a chance to relax and do some craft today.
