Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper

Welcome,

Another easy card using designer series paper.

The base card is Basic White (#158228) with Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Designer Acetate (#154574) attached on top. I then attached a piece of the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper (#154570) to a piece of Basic White card, showing some of the white card at the top and bottom of the DSP. This was placed on top of the Acetate.

I cut the Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) with a die  from the Painted Labels Dies (#151605). The Silver Trim from the Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was attached to the die cut label then the sentiment attached on top. “Congratulations” is from the Vine Design stamp set (#154488), stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and cut with a Flowering Vine Die (#154332). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) then I added the Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220).

Have a great day.

Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper

Hi ladies & guys,

The Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper (#155761) is absolutely gorgeous and elegant, and includes copper, gold and silver foiling.

Basic White (#159228) is used for the base card, followed by Bermuda Bay card (#147096) and then the DSP. I cut the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) with a die from the Scalloped Contours (#155560).

The flowers from the Elegantly Said stamp set (#155095) were stamped with Bermuda Bay ink (#147096) and Coastal Cabana ink (#147097) on Basic White card. These were fussy cut and the Bermuda Bay flower was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). “Happy Anniversary” is from the Elegantly Said stamp set and heat embossed with VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was then cut with a Tailor Made Tags Die (#155563). The Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was threaded through the tag, then the tag was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Glimmer was added to the flowers using the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897) and the embellishments are the Genial Gems (#155500).

The new catalogue will be available on 4th May, so not long to wait now.

Have a great day.

In Good Taste Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

Here’s a masculine card using “scraps” of designer series paper, and I am sure you have plenty of those small pieces which you just don’t want to throw away.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder (#149643) and attached to the Old Olive card base (#106576). I cut the pieces of In Good Taste DSP (#152494) using Stitched Rectangles Dies (#151820) and attached them to the card front.

I stamped the leaves from Rooted In Nature stamp set (#148217) on Basic White card using Old Olive ink (#147090). The leaves were then cut with the Nature’s Roots Dies (#151786). The sentiment from the Many Mates stamp set (#152633) was also stamped with Old Olive ink and cut with a Stitched Rectangles die and matted on a piece of Old Olive card. Stampin Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the sentiment and leaves.

The retiring products are -

Rooted In Nature stamp set

Pansy Dies

Welcome,

Another sneak peek today, this time using the Pansy Dies (#155680).

The Pansy and leaves are all cut with the Pansy dies. The cardstock used is Basic White (#159228), Rich Razzleberry (#119981), Fresh Freesia (#155614), So Saffron (#108611) Soft Succulent (#155777) and Evening Evergreen (#155575). I lightly daubered the white card for the flower with Fresh Freesia ink (#155611). The pieces of the flower and leaves were glued with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309).

The Soft Succulent 2021-2023 In Color Designer Series Paper (#155641) was cut with a Tailor Made Tags Die (#155563). The Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was attached to the tag. The base card and card front are Basic White. I dry embossed the card front with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317) and daubered the edges with Rich Razzleberry ink (#147091).

Happy Birthday is from the Pansy Patch stamp set (#154999) and stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink. A Stitched So Sweetly Die (#151820) was used to cut the sentiment, then attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The 2021-2023 In Color Jewels (#155571) were added to the card and I added shimmer to the Rich Razzleberry on the flower using the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897).

Have a great weekend.

True Love Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

The True Love Designer Series Paper (#154281) is currently one my favourites especially for colouring with Stampin’ Blends.

For a change I used the Shimmery White cardstock (#121717) which has a lovely subtle shimmer. I dry embossed the card front with the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#151801) then matted this with the Champagne Foil Sheets (#144748).

The flowers were fussy cut and then coloured with the following Stampin’ Blends - Petal Pink (#154893), So Saffron (#154905), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Fresh Freesia (#155611), Pale Papaya (#155670), Flirty Flamingo (#154884) and Soft Sea Foam (#154902).

The stamped leaves are from the Forever Fern stamp set (#152559) and they were stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). A die from the co-ordinating Forever Flourishing dies (#152714) cut the leaves. The leaves from the Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) were cut with dies from the Floral Heart dies (#154306) and attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The coloured flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was attached to the card under the sentiment. Best wishes from the Borders Abound stamp set (#152627) was stamped with Fresh Freesia ink (#155611) and cut with a Stitched Rectangles die (#151820). 

As usual I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add glimmer to the flowers and leaves.

The retiring products are

Champagne Foil Sheets

Tin Tile 3D embossing folder

Enjoy your day.

Sympathy card

Hello friends,

I was asked to make a special sympathy card so couldn’t resist using the Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper (#155761). This is another sneak peek of new products. The sentiment is from an old retired set but I just love the elegance of this stamp from Painted Glass and thought it suited the elegance of this card.

I have used a full piece of A4 Basic White card (#159228) and folded it in half for a large card. I matted the DSP with the Fresh Freesia card (#155614).

The Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) was cut with a die from the Scalloped Contours Dies (#155560) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The outline of flowers from the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set (#155070) were stamped with Fresh Freesia ink (#155611). This is a Two-step stamp, so I stamped the individual flowers with Fresh Freesia ink using the Stamping off method to give a lighter colour. The leaves were stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). The floral image and the detailed Gold Foil were cut with dies from the Penned Flowers Dies (#155557). I had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) attached to the back of the gold foil which makes it easy to adhere anything with finer details.

I gold embossed the sentiment using VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). Another die from the Scalloped Contours Dies was used for the sentiment.

Have a great day.

Elegantly Said

Welcome everyone,

Today’s card is a sneak peek of some new products from the upcoming catalogue. There are so many exciting new products which will be available from 4th May.

The base card is Basic White (#159228), followed by Polished Pink card (#155711). The card front is also Basic White which I added colour using the Blending Brushes (#153611). I used 4 of the new In Color inks - Soft Succulent #155778), Fresh Freesia (#155611), Pale Papaya (#155670) and Polished Pink (#155712). I love these new colours. The 5th In Colour is Evening Evergreen which is a darker green.

I stamped the gorgeous flourish from the Elegantly Said stamp set (#155095) using VersaMark (#102283) and Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109131), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The flower and sentiment are from the same stamp set and stamped with Polished Pink ink. I fussy cut the flowers. The scalloped rectangles were cut with the Scalloped Contours Dies (#158356). The Polished Pink rectangle is from the 2021-2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum (#155616). The sentiment and flowers were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishment is  from the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels (#155571).

Have a great day.

Brilliance Wings Dies

Hi my friends,

I think the hardest part of this card was deciding what sentiment to use that would fit on the card, but managed to get suitable ones from the Many Messages stamp (#154510).

The Designer Series Paper is Butterfly Bijou 6”x6”, which unfortunately is no longer available as it sold out very quickly, but I hope you were able to get a pack. The Brilliant Wings Dies (#155523) fit perfectly on this design (as shown below) to cut out each of the butterflies. Although the butterflies on this die are all joined together, it actually cuts the butterflies individually. If you didn't get the DSP,  you can stamp the butterflies with the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set (#155092) and cut them with the dies.

I then turned over the DSP and then placed the butterflies back where they were cut from, so this gave me the different background which is on the reverse of the butterflies. I cut a piece from the left and right side of the DSP so it measures 13cms across. I didn't cut anything from the top or bottom so the size is 13cm x 15cm. The finished card is 16cm x 14cm.

I cut a piece of Basic White card (#159228) the same size as the DSP. I dry embossed the white card with the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder (#152320) and glued the DSP to the embossed card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). I attached each of the butterflies with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). When the wings of the butterflies are curved up you can see the embossed card underneath.

The sentiments are from the Many Messages stamp (#154510) which has a great range of sentiments. The co-ordinating Messages Die (#154422) cut the sentiments which were stamped with Crushed Curry ink (#147087). Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the sentiments.

As usual I added glimmer to the butterflies using the Clear Wink OF Stella Glitter Brush (#141897).

Hope your day has been a good one.

Friends Are Like Seashells

Hi everyone,

I love how the embossing folder gives dimension to the shells from the Sand & Sea Suite (#155980).

For the card front I used Basic White card (#159228) and blended the inks randomly over the card. I used Seaside Spray (#150085), So Saffron (#147109) and Pear Pizzaz (#147104). Then I sprayed the card front with Frost White Shimmer Paint (#147046) and when dried, I dry embossed it with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317). The card front was matted with Seaside Spray card (#150889) and I wrapped the Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon (#150446) around the card, then attached it to the Basic White base card.

The shells and star fish from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set (#154368) and these were stamped with Blushing Bride ink (#147100), So Saffron ink and Seaside Spray ink. After cutting these with the Seaside Seashells Dies (#156095) and cutting off the excess pieces, I dry embossed the shells with the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder (#154309). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897) on the shells and star fish, then attached them to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Happy Birthday is from the Happy Thoughts stamp set (#154507), stamped with Seaside Spray ink and cut with a die from the Ornate Frames Dies (#150664). The Pearl Basic Jewels (#144219) were added to the card.

Hello friends,

Here’s a cute little card using the Under My Umbrella stamp set (#151518) for the umbrella and flowers.

The flowers were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto Basic White card (#159228).The Stampin’ Blends used to colour the flowers are So Saffron (#154905), Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Poppy Parade (#154958), Balmy Blue (#154830), Purple Posy (#154896) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). I used the Stamparatus (#148187) to evenly stamp the flowers. A die from the Ornate Borders (#152724) was used to cut the 2 edges of the Basic White card.

Happy Birthday is from the Happy Thoughts stamp set (#154507) and stamped with Melon Mambo ink (#147051). The sentiment and Melon Mambo card (#119980) underneath were cut with the Stitched Nested Labels Dies (#149638). The sentiment and umbrella were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Dragonfly Garden

Hi & welcome,

I am so pleased that the Dragonfly Garden stamp set (#154411) that is currently in the January-June mini catalogue will be available in the next annual catalogue. This set is great for both male & female cards so very versatile.

The stitching on The Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper (#154558) was achieved with a die from the Stitched With Whimsy Die (#155314). I stamped the floral image and the dragonfly from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) as well as the sentiment from Many Mates stamp set (#152633). Very Vanilla card (#106550) was used for the base card and to stamp the sentiment & dragonfly.

The DSP was then attached to the Basic Black card (#121688) and the Glittered Organdy Ribbon (#147897) was wrapped around the card front. The sentiment was cut with a Tasteful Labels Die (#152886) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The dragonfly was punched with the Dragonfly punch (#154240) and this was also attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) was used to add some glimmer to the dragonfly wings. The Matte Black Dots (#154284) were added to the card.

A Little Lace

Hello friends,

The Little Lace stamp set (#149364) and the co-ordinating Stitched Lace dies (#149625) are retiring to make way for more exciting products.

I coloured this with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883), Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends (#154893) and Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends (#154830). The sentiment is from the Delicate Petals stamp set (#154475) using Mango Melody ink (#147093). These 2 pieces of Basic White card were cut with Stitched So Sweetly dies (#151690). To get the right size for the sentiment I cut it with a die, then repositioned it (as shown below) to cut it to the size I required.

The Champagne Foil sheet (#144748) was cut with the Stitched Lace die, then attached to the Basic White base card using Tear & Tape Adhesive (#138995) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The embellishment for the centre of the yellow flower is from the Playing With Patterns Resin Dots (#152467). I coloured the Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) using the Dark Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend before attaching them to the card.

Hello & welcome again,

True Love Designer Series Paper

Hi,

I made a similar designed card to this recently using the World Of Good Specialty DSP so here is one using True Love Designer Series Paper (#154281). It’s easy to make and a great way to use some leftover DSP.

The base card is Basic White (#159228). The spotted DSP was punched with the Banner Triple punch (#138292). The floral DSP was matted with Poppy Parade card (#121694).

I stamped the daisy from the Daisy Lane stamp set (#149325) with Poppy Parade ink (#147050). I stamped 2 images and punched them with the Daisy Punch (#143713) and put them together with Mini Glue Dots (#103683), offsetting the petals. The daisy was then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment is from Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) and also stamped with Poppy Parade ink. I cut it with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820). Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the sentiment.

There are no retiring products on today’s card.

Have a great day.

Forever & Always Bundle

Welcome again my friends,

I’m having a break from the retiring products today, although the Designer Series Paper, Oval dies and ribbon are retiring.

The Designer Series Paper is Artistry Blooms (#152495). The detailed die cut was cut using the Flowering Vine Dies (#154332) from Basic White card (#159228). This was glued to the DSP with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). I wrapped the Silver Metallic-Edged Ribbon (#144213) around the card front, then attached the card front to the Basic White card base.

The flowers from the Forever & Always stamp set (#154343) were stamped with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094), Poppy Parade ink (#147050) and Highland Heather ink (#147103). These were cut with the co-ordinating Always Dies (#154307). 

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) and stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). I cut the ovals using the Layering Ovals Dies (#151771). The sentiment and the yellow & mauve flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897) was used to add glitter to the flowers. The Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) were added to finish the card.

Have a great weekend.

Dandelion Wishes

Hello,

Another beautiful retiring set is the Dandelion Wishes stamp set (#151345).

I cut the Seaside Spray card (#150889) 10.5cm x 20cm and scored at 14.8cm on the long side. I then cut another piece10.5 cm x 5cm for the bottom of the card. I cut a piece of Window Sheet (#142314) 10.5cm x 14.9 cm and attached it to the top flap of the seaside spray card. The other piece of Seaside Spray card was attached to the bottom of the window sheet.

I stamped the image from the Dandelion Wishes stamp set on 2 pieces of  Basic White card using Seaside Spray ink (#150085). The vertical white card is 4cm x 11.5cm and matted with Seaside Spray card - 4.5cm x 12cm. The horizontal card is 9.5cm x 4cm. The bottom piece was dry embossed with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317). I cut another 2 of these to attach on the inside of the card as shown above.

I stamped the sentiment, also from the Dandelion Wishes stamp set, with Night Of Navy ink (#147110). The embellishments are from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#150457).

I don't think it shows in the photo but I added the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the dandelions.

Butterfly Gala

Welcome again,

The Butterfly Gala stamp set (#148580) and the co-ordinating Butterfly Duet Punch (#148523) are retiring, but for the butterfly lovers, there are more  beautiful butterflies and dies coming in the new catalogue.

The base card and card front are Very Vanilla (#106550). The background on the card front was achieved using Gilded Leafing Embellishment (#154560). I placed a Basic Pattern Decorative Mask (#150697) on the card and pressed the VersaMark pad (#102283) onto the mask so it presses through onto the card. I didn't want a perfect pattern, so if the VersaMark doesn’t stamp all over that is fine. I then sprinkled this with the Heat & Stick Powder (#156110), removed the excess, then heat it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This doesn’t take long but gives a stickiness to the card. Next press the card into the Gilded Leafing Embellishment, then rub the excess Gold Leafing from the card. The Gold Leafing will stick to the Heat & Stick Powder.

The Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) was cut with a die from the Ornate Borders Dies (#152724) for the detailed border. This was attached to a piece of the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper (#152488). I daubered the edges of the card with Mango Melody ink (#147093), then wrapped the Gold Metallic-Edge Ribbon (#144146) around the card front.

The Butterflies and sentiment are from the Butterfly Gala stamp set. I stamped the butterflies with VersaMark and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129). The butterflies were punched with the Butterflies Duet Punch. The butterflies were coloured with Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends (#154888). The sentiment was stamped with Mango Melody ink. The ovals were cut with the Layering Ovals Dies (#151771). The butterflies and sentiment were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I added 2020-2022 In Colour Enamel Dots (#152480) to the butterflies and sentiment.

The retiring products on this card are-

Butterfly Gala stamp set

Butterfly Duet punch

Ornate Borders Dies

Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello again my friends,

I am continuing with using some retiring products from the annual catalogue.

The base card is Terracotta Tile (#150890) & the cardfront is the beautiful Pearlescent Specialty Paper (#154291). I adhered Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of the Pearlescent Paper where I was cutting with a die from the Ornate Borders dies (#152724). Then I dry embossed the left side of the card front with the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (#152702). The Gold Metallic-Edge Ribbon (#144146) was wrapped around the card.

The sentiment is from Woven Heirlooms stamp set (#149306). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) on the pearlescent paper and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment and the Terracotta Tile card were cut with the Layering Squares Dies (#151772), then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The butterfly was cut with a die from the Fluttering Dies (#154318) and I used Gold Foil Sheets (#132622). A Stampin’ Dimensional was used to attach the butterfly to the card. The embellishments on the butterfly and sentiment are the Gold Glitter Enamel Dots (#152155).

Wreath Builder dies

Hi again,

Another beautiful retiring product is the Wreath Builder dies (#152722).

I used Very Vanilla card (#106550) for the base card & card front. Before dry embossing the card front I sponged one side of the Tin Tile 3D embossing Folder (#151801) with Crumb Cake ink (#147116). This gives some subtle colour to the embossing. I sponged the edges of the card front with Rococo Rose ink (#150080).

I used the Pretty Peacock card (#150886) and the Champagne Foil Sheets (#144748) for the wreath. The wreath, flowers, bow and heart are all cut with dies from the Wreath Builder Dies. I used Rococo Rose card (#150888) for the flowers, heart and bow. I cut 2 flowers and offset them when I put them together using a Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430). The wreath, flower and bow were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Sending” is from the Well Said stamp set (#148796) and stamped with Rococo Rose ink. I cut this with the Messages Die (#144422). This is a very versatile die as it co-ordinates with the Many Messages stamp set (#154510), but also allows you to cut many other sentiments, like I have on this card. After attaching the sentiment to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108), I then attached the heart.

The flower, bow & heart were all brushed with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) for that shimmery look. I coloured some Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) with Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends (#154900) before attaching them to the centre of the flower.

Garden Shed

Hello everyone,

I have created this garden scene using the Garden Shed stamp set (#149247) and Garden Gateway dies (#151512).

The shed from the Garden Shed stamp set was stamped on Basic White card (#159228) with Soft Suede ink (#147115). The pot of flowers & watering can, cat and bird were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The cat & bird are from the Grace’s Garden stamp set (#151513). The Stampin’ Blends to colour the images are Granny Apple Green (#154885), Old Olive (#154892), Smoky Slate (#154904), Crumb Cake (#154882), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Mango Melody (#154888), Misty Moonlight (#153108), Seaside Spray (#154901) and Cinnamon Cider (#153105).

Using Blending Brushes (#153611), I added some colour to the grass with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) and to the sky with Seaside Spray ink (#150085).

The gate and fence were cut from Champagne Foil Sheets (#144748) using the Garden Gateway Dies (#151512). I attached these to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The flowers in the pot, the cat and bird were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Detailed Bands Dies

Hi my friends,

It’s not hard to make a beautiful card when you have some lovely Designer Series Paper and elegant dies, like I have used on this card.

The Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (#152483) was matted with the Petal Pink card (#147009). The Silver Foil Sheet (#132178) was cut with a die from the Detailed Bands Dies (#149549). I threaded the Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon (#144213) through the band. The detailed band and ribbon were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the ribbon was wrapped around the cardfront, before attaching this to the Basic White card base (#159228). 

“Congratulations” is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) and I stamped this with Petal Pink ink (#147108). This was cut with another die from the Detailed Bands Dies. This was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The trio of Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) were added under the sentiment.
