Thank You card

Hi everyone,

Again I am using some retiring products on this card. Tomorrow I will start sharing some of the new products from the new catalogue which will be available from 3rd June.

The cardstock is Very Vanilla (#106550) and I embossed the card front with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder (#149634) , then sponged the edges with Crumb Cake ink (#147116). I used one of the laser-cut pieces from the Shimmer Detailed Laser- Cut Specialty Paper (#149611) and glued that to a piece of Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). The bird image from the Free As A Bird stamp set (#c149592) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and sprinkled with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129), which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I used Stampin’ Blends to colour the image, which are Purple Posy Combo (#149566), Dark Petal Pink (#146871), Seaside Spray combo (#149569), Dark Crumb Cake (#144581), Light Mango Melody (#147943), Light Poppy Parade and Light Soft Sea Foam (#148057). This was cut with a Layering Circles Die (#141705), then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I added some glitter to the birds with the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897). “Thank you” was cut with the Thank You die (#146832) from Gold Glimmer Paper (#146958) and glued to the card with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). The embellishments are the Gold Glitter Enamel Dots (#152155).

Hand-Lettered Prose Dies

Hi again everyone,

“Happy” has been cut with the Hand-Lettered Prose Dies (#149550) which is one of the dies that will be retiring next week.

I cut the letters from the Seaside Spray card (#150889). Then I stamped the “Birthday Wishes” from the Butterfly Wishes stamp set (#c149346) using Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138). I then cleaned the stamp and re-stamped it with VersaMark (#102283) and sprinkled it with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109130) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This needs to be stamped using the Stamparatus (#148187) without moving the stamp or the card. Then I embossed this card with the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder (#151503). I attached the cardfront to a piece of the Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper (#149493) and this was attached to the Whisper White base card (#106549). The small inside of the letters were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The butterflies were cut with the Butterfly Beauty Dies (#148536). Even though these dies are quite large with 5 butterflies attached to each other, it is easy to just cut one butterfly and use that if you don't want the whole image, which is what I have done here. I used the Noble Peacock Foil Sheet (#149495) in Blueberry Bushel for the base layer of the butterfly, and Silver Foil Sheet (#132178) for the top layer of the butterfly. I used the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309) to attach the 2 layers, and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the butterfly to the card. I finished the card by adding the Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) to the card and one on the butterfly.

The retiring products here are the Hand-Lettered Prose Dies, Blueberry Bushel ink, Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper, Noble Peacock Foil Sheets and the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder.

I hope you are having a relaxing weekend.

Stay safe & keep crafting!!

Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper

Hello,

The weekend is here already. I don’t know where the weeks go. 

I have used the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper (#149592) for this card. I have previously done this technique by stamping images on the card so decided to use designer paper today.

I cut the designer series paper using the Stitched Rectangles Dies (#148551). I placed each dies onto the one piece of designer paper, so that the images all matched when they were put back together. I cut the Pineapple Punch card (#146994) slightly larger than each of the rectangles and matted the DSP onto the Pineapple Punch card. I attached the larger piece of matted DSP to the Whisper White card (#106549), then attached the next two layers with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Mossy Meadow Linen Thread which is part of the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack (#149485) was attached to the card and the sentiment was then added to the card. This sentiment is from the Painted Glass stamp set (#c148220) and stamped with Pineapple Punch ink (#147141). The Glitter Enamel Dots (#146934) were added to the label which was cut with a die from the Merry Christmas Dies (#147912).

The retiring products I have used on this card are the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper, Painted Glass stamp set, Pineapple Punch card and ink, Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack and Glitter Enamel Dots.

Stay safe, keep crafting and have a great weekend.

Label Me Pretty stamp set

Hi everyone,

The current Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue will be retired on 2nd June, which means that some of the products will no longer available to purchase. I have quite enjoyed highlighting some of the retiring products over the last few weeks on my cards. Here is another one.

The base card is Whisper White (#106549) and the Happy Birthday image from the Label Me Pretty stamp set (#151220) and the butterfly from the Painted Glass stamp set (#148220) were stamped onto Whisper White card. I used Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) for the Happy Birthday image and Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) for the butterfly. The Stampin’ Blends used for the colouring are Purple Posy Combo (#149566), Highland Heather Combo (#147276), Mango Melody Combo (#147945), Dark Pool Party (#144594), Soft Sea Foam Combo (#148059) and Light Mint Macaron (#147020). I punched this image with the co-ordinating Pretty Label Punch (#143715). The detailed border is cut from Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) using a die from the Stained Glass Dies (#146347). The butterfly is also cut with a die from the same set. The leafy pieces are cut with dies from the Birthday Dies (#153590). I used Highland Heather card (#147010), Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) and Silver Foil Sheet (#132178). The cardfront is So Very Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper (#152313) and I attached this Purple Posy Vellum to a piece of Whisper White card which are the same size. That allowed me to attach the 2 pieces together with silver Metallic Brads (#146929), then attached it to the base card using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The butterfly and birthday image were also attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897) to add some sparkle to the flowers and butterfly.

The retiring products here are the Label Me Pretty stamp set, Pretty Label Punch, Painted Glass stamp set, Stained Glass Dies, Birthday dies, Metallic Brads and So Very Vellum Specialty DSP.

Detailed Peacock Dies

Hi again friends,

Here is another very sparkly card, again using retiring products.

I have used Whisper White card (#106549), Noble Peacock Foil Sheets (#149495) and Silver Glimmer Paper (#146960). I stamped the Crackle Paint background stamp (#148752) with VersaMark (#102283) and sprinkled it with the Shimmer White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#149511). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This white card was attached to a piece of the Pretty Peacock Noble Peacock Foil Sheet. Instead of “wasting” the foil sheets when you are covering most of it, you can cut a piece from the centre and use it for another project. Another possibility is to cut the peacock from the centre, leaving enough around the edges to attach the white card. The peacock is cut with a Detailed Peacock Die (#149582) and glued to the cardfront with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). The Silver Glimmer Paper border was cut with a die from the Flourish Dies (#141478) and also glued to the card. The sentiment from the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set (#c151490) was stamped with Bermuda Bay ink (#147096), then cut with the Layering Circles Dies (#141705). I attached this to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and added the Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) to finish the card.

The retiring products on this card are the Detailed Peacock Dies, Shimmer White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, Flourish Dies and Noble Peacock Foil Sheets.

The retiring products or last chance products will no longer be available after 2nd June, so time is running out if you still want some of these beautiful products. Click the link below to find what is still available.

Flourishing Phrases & Flourish Dies

Welcome friends,

I do like a bit of glitter on my cards, so there is plenty here with the Silver Glimmer Paper (#146960).

The base card is Gorgeous Grape (#147011) and I used Whisper White card (#106549) for the card front and flowers. I embossed the card front with the Layered Leaves 3D Embossing Folder (#152321). All the Silver Glimmer Paper cut outs were cut with the Flourish Dies (#141478) and glued to the card with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). I stamped the flower twice from the Flourishing Phrases (#151407) using Highland Heather ink (#147103) and Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099). Did you know that you can heat emboss with any colour ink? I did it on these flowers and using the Stamparatus (#148187) makes it easy. I stamped with the ink first then cleaned the stamp, without moving the stamp or the card. I then stamped the image with VersaMark (#102283) and sprinkled it with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109130) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I fussy cut the 2 flowers, cutting the outside petals off the Highland Heather flower. I attached this flower to the larger flower using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) as well as to attach the larger flower to the card. “Happy Birthday” from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (#c151331) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink and punched with the Classic Label Punch (#141491). I attached the Silver Metallic Thread (#138402) and the sentiment using Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) were added to the card and flower centre.

The retiring product on this card are the Flourishing Phrases stamp set, Flourish Dies, Layered Leaves 3D Embossing Folder, Silver Metallic Thread and Silver Glimmer Paper.

Stitched All Around

Hi friends,

The Stitched All Around stamp set (#c151287) and the co-ordinating Stitched Labels Dies (#146828) are retiring, so are used on this card featuring more retiring products.

The Whisper White card (#106549) is 10.5cm x 24cm and scored at 14.9cm on the long side, so the front of the card is shorter than the back of the card. I stamped the piece of Whisper White for the inside using a sentiment from the Stitched All Around stamp set. I used Bermuda Bay ink (#147096). The crosses on the bottom of the inside card and the card front are cut with a die from the Stitched Labels Dies. I stamped the birds and the individual flowers from Free As A Bird stamp set (#149468) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The flowers were fussy cut and the birds cut with another die from the Stitched Labels Dies. The images were coloured with the following Stampin’ Blends - Highland Heather Combo (#147276), Balmy Blue Combo (#148544), Calypso Coral Combo (#144045), Light Bermuda Bay (#144580), Light Real Red (#147933), Light Soft Suede (#146874) and Dark Mango Melody (#147944). I also coloured the Pearl Basic Jewels (#144220) with the Dark Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends. The Designer Series Paper is from Birthday Bonanza (#151313) and the detailed label was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals(#104430).

The retiring products here are the Stitched All Around stamp set, Stitched Labels Dies and Birthday Bonanza DSP.

Botanical Bliss with Hold Onto Hope

Hello Ladies & Guys,

I’m disappointed that the beautiful Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder (#151503) is retiring so I am using it as much as I can. However there are some new exciting folders in the next catalogue which I will be looking forward to using.

All the cardstock is Very Vanilla (#106550). After embossing the card front I lightly dragged the VersaMark ink pad (#102283) over the card, then sprinkled it with the Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#141636). I didn't want an even cover, so if there were areas with too much powder, I used a small brush to remove some powder before setting it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The edges were sponged with Poppy Parade ink (#147050). The 1/4” Copper Trim (#144179) is a loose weave trim which allows you to pull it to open it out to a wider ribbon, which is what I have done here before attaching it to the card. The leaves from Hold Onto Hope stamp set (#145780) were stamped with Call Me Clover ink (#147139) and cut with the co-ordinating die from the Cross Of Hope Dies (#145654). The flowers are from the Botanical Bliss stamp set (#146612) and I stamped these with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) then fussy cut them. I coloured the flowers with Stampin’ Blends - Poppy Parade Combo (#147275), Mango Melody Combo (#147945) and Light Shaded Spruce (#147936). The sentiment is from the Botanical Bliss stamp set and stamped with Poppy Parade ink. I used a die from the Stitched Labels Dies (#146828) to cut the sentiment. The leaves, yellow flower and sentiment were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and the embellishments are the Gilded Gems (#152478). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897) to add a little sparkle to parts of the flowers.

The retiring products here are Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder, Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder, Hold Onto Hope stamp set, Cross Of Hope Dies, Botanical Bliss stamp set, Stitched Labels Dies, Call Me Clover ink and the 1/4” Copper Trim.

You may have noticed in the retiring list that the Stampin’ Blends are included, but don’t stress they aren’t retiring. Currently they can be purchased separately but in future will only be sold in a combo with the light and dark, so the product numbers will be different.

Stay safe & keep crafting!!

Detailed Peacock Dies

Hello friends,

This card uses both retiring and new products and I love the gold and Very Vanilla together.

The cardstock is Very Vanilla (#106550) and the Gold Foil Sheets (#132622) have also been used. I cut the right hand border from the base card with a die from the Ornate Borders Dies (#152724), then placed the piece of Gold Foil under this. I embossed another piece of Very Vanilla card with the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder (#151503) and attached this to the base card. I then wrapped a piece of the Gold Shimmer Ribbon (#152156) around the card. The peacock is cut with a die from the Detailed Peacock Dies (#149582) and attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). “Birthday Wishes” is from the Butterfly Wishes stamp set (#149346) and I stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) and added Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The ovals were cut with the Layering Ovals Dies (#141706) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The retiring products on this card are the Detailed Peacock Dies, Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder and the Gold Shimmer Ribbon.

I hope you are having a fabulous weekend.

I coloured them with Stampin’ Blends using Light Real Red (#147933), Light Shaded Spruce (#147936) and Light Mango Melody (#147943). The base card is Real Red (#106578) and Whisper White card (#106549) has been used for the card front. The white card was embossed with the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder (#151503) and I wrapped the Real Red 3/8” Double-Stitched Satin Ribbon (#151155) around this. The Silver Foil Sheet (#132178) was cut with a die from the Painted Labels Dies (#151605) and this was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The floral images were also attached with Dimensionals. “Thank You For Caring” is from the Label Me Pretty stamp set (#c151220) and stamped with Real Red ink (#106578) and punched with the 1-3/8” Scallop Circle (#146139).

Flourish Dies

I brayered the glimmer paper using Rococo Rose ink (#150080), Bermuda Bay ink (#147096) and Mango Melody ink (#147093), then I cut this with a die from the Flourish Dies (#141478).

The Whisper White cardfront was embossed with the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder (#152320) and I glued the Glimmer Paper die-cut with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). The ribbon is Rococo Rose 1/2” Scalloped Linen (#149704) and the embellishments are from the Glitter Enamel Dots. “Just a Note” from Flourishing Phrases stamp set (#c151407) is stamped with Rococo Rose ink.

Animal Outing

Hello and welcome once again,

Some more of my favourite retiring products have been used here on today’s card. It’s always sad to see some of your favourite products go, but that makes way for more new and exciting products, and there are lots of those coming up in the new catalogue on 3rd June.

The cardstock is Very Vanilla (#106550) and the DSP is from the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper (#151252). I embossed the Very Vanilla triangle with the Layering Leaves 3D Embossing Folder (#152321). The leaf border is from the Shimmer Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (#149611). I coloured this with a Sponge Dauber (#133773) using Old Olive ink (#147090). This was glued to the card with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). The elephant from the Animal Outing stamp set (#c151281) was stamped with Smokey Slate ink (#147113).

Sea Of Textures

Hi friends,

Today’s card is another highlighting some retiring products.

The base card is Merry Merlot (#147005) and the cardfront is Very Vanilla (#106550). I stamped the cardfront with 2 images from the Sea Of Textures stamp set (#c151267) using Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) and Crumb Cake (#121685). I embossed the Very Vanilla card with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder (#151775). The octopus was stamped with Merry Merlot ink (#147112). The dies from the Under The Sea (#146334) cut the octopus, net and seaweed. I used the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper (#151252) for the net and seaweed. Both these papers have a fine pattern which I thought looked great for these. The Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309) was used to attach the net and seaweed, and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) for the octopus. The sentiment is from the Stitched All Around stamp set (#151287), stamped with Merry Merlot ink and I used the die from the Merry Christmas Dies (#147912) to cut it.

The retiring products are Sea Of Textures stamp set, Under the Sea dies, Tropical Oasis DSP, Stitched All Around stamp set, Merry Christmas Dies.

Shimmer Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper

Hello everyone,

With the lead up to the new catalogue in June, I have started to sort out some of my retiring products, so over the next couple of weeks I will try to use some of these products.

I chose two of the beautiful laser cut designs from the Shimmer Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (#149611). One is a border design and the other is the size of the card. These were glued with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). The sentiment from the Painted Glass stamp set (#c148220) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with the Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129), which is set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

Country Home with Ornate Style Bundle

Welcome friends,

These flowers are from the Ornate Style stamp set (#c152572), but they are a cut down version.

I stamped the flowers and can with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708), then fussy cut the image. I wanted to “place” the flowers in the can but with the full image they looked a bit top heavy, so I cut some of the flowers off. I coloured the flowers and leaves with the following Stampin’ Blends - Mango Melody Combo (#147945), Old Olive Combo (#144597), Flirty Flamingo Combo (#147278) and Light Rococo Rose (#149570). The can was coloured with Smokey Slate Combo (#145058). The can is from the Country Home stamp set (#p147678). The can and flowers were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Whisper White card was cut with an Ornate Layers Die (#152726), then attached to the So Saffron card (#108611) which I had embossed with the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder (#151503). The base card is Whisper White. “Many Thanks” is from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (#c151331), stamped with Crushed Curry ink (#147087), then cut with an Ornate Frames Die (#150664). Silver Metallic Thread (#138402) was added to the sentiment and the Gold Faceted Gems (#144141) were added to the flower centre. I cut the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) with the Birthday Dies (#153590) to get the little leafy pieces.

Shimmer Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper

Hi again,

I’ve had a busy few days but finally got back into the craft room today and had a chance to do this scrapbook page with photos from Mother’s Day yesterday.

The beautiful Shimmer Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (#149611) is a delicately detailed laser-cut sheet with a touch of shimmer. I have used the Vanilla side, the other side is white. With such detail in this paper, I didn't want to add too much to it. I attached this to 12”x12” Very Vanilla card (#144239). I matted the photos with Highland Heather card (#147010) and Basic Black card (#121688). The hearts were cut with 2 separate dies from the Stitched Be Mine dies (#148527) using Heather Highland card and Gold Foil sheet (#132622). The detailed rectangle was cut with an Ornate Layers Die (#152726). I coloured the Flower Faceted Gems (#149479) using Dark Highland Heather Stampin’ Blend (#146883). The letters and numbers were cut from Basic Black card (using an electronic cutter). These were glued using the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). 

Stay safe & keep crafting!!

Fanciful Fragrance & Stitched Lace Dies

Hello friends,

The Fanciful Fragrance stamp set (#149281) which I have used to stamp the perfume bottles, is one of the retiring products from the annual catalogue.

The bottles were stamped with Smokey Slate ink (#147113), on Whisper White card (#106549), then cut with the largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies (#145372). The Smokey Slate DSP from the Neutrals 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#149614) was attached to the Whisper White base card. I cut another piece of white card using the Stitched Lace Dies (#149625) and this was attached to the bottom of the card. The Cherry Cobbler (#121681) border was cut with a die from the Ornate Borders Dies (#152724). I cut this once, then turned the die around and cut again, which made it look like “ribbon”. Birthday Wishes were cut with dies from Well Written dies (#148534) - another retiring product. These were glued to the card with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the circle, then added the Metallic Pearls (#146282) to the border.

Stay Safe & have a great weekend.

Free As A Bird stamp set

Hello everyone,

The card base is Seaside Spray (#150889). The next layer is also Seaside Spray which I embossed with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder (#149634). Then I sponged this with Seaside Spray ink (#150085) to highlight the embossing. The birds from Free As A Bird stamp set (#149468) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Whisper White card (#106549). I coloured the image with Stampin’ Blends. The colours used were Seaside Spray Combo (#149569), So Saffron Combo (#149557), Balmy Blue Combo (#148544), Light Old Olive (#144574), Dark Petal Pink (#146871), Light Crumb Cake (#144582) and Light Poppy Parade (#146878). I cut this with the Ornate Layers Dies (#152726). I wrapped the Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon (#150446) around the card, then attached the White card using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). “Sent with Love” is from the Itty Bitty Greetings (#151331), then cut with an Ornate Frames Die (#150664). I sponged the edges with Seaside Spray ink and attached it with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Seaside Spray 2019-2021 In-Colour Faceted Dots (#149607) were added to finish the card.
