Cork Specialty Paper

Hi everyone,

Today I wanted to see if I could stamp on the new Cork 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#156393).

I thought the image from Free As A Bird stamp set (#149468) would look great on this cork paper. I stamped it with the Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and it worked beautifully. I did use the Stamparatus (#148187) so I could stamp a second time due to the slight unevenness of this cork paper. I mounted this onto a piece of Mossy Meadow card (#133683).

The base card and card front are Very Vanilla (#106550). I dry embossed the card front with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder (#152725). The Mossy Meadow DSP from the Neutrals 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#155226) was attached to the cardfront.

“Happy Birthday” from Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111), then cut with the banner die from the Bloom Dies (#155989). The sentiment and birds were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Artistic Dies

Hello,

I do love mauve and gold together, so teamed them up today for this slim-line card.

The base card is Basic White (#159228) with Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) for the following layer. The finished size of this card is 21x10cm. I cut the Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Designer Acetate (#154574) with a die from the Ornate Layers Dies (#152726). This was attached to a slightly larger piece of Basic White card.

“Happy Birthday” from the Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099). I used the Stamparatus (#14817), so without moving the card or stamp, I re-stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and added Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This gives an embossed image, so it can be done with any colour not just the embossing powder colours we have available. I cut the sentiment with another Ornate Layers die and attached it to the designer acetate.

The Gold Foil (#132622) was cut with a die from the Artistic Dies (#155371). For ease of adhering this detailed cut-out to the card, I had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) attached to the back of the gold foil before cutting. The Pastel Pearls (#154571) were added under the sentiment.

Expressions In Ink

Hello & welcome again,

I think the Expressions In Ink Designer Series Paper (#155464) is everyone’s favourite with beautiful colours, designs and gold foiling. It certainly is my favourite.

I attached the DSP to a piece of Shaded Spruce card (#147006). I cut a piece of Vellum (#106584) with a Scalloped Contours Die (#155560) and attached this to the card front. The (retired) shaded spruce & gold ribbon was wrapped around the cardfront, then this was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) was stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088). This was also cut with a die from the Scalloped Contours dies. 

The butterfly from Brilliant Wings Dies (#155523) was cut from Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). The sentiment and butterfly were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The Genial Gems (#155500) embellishments were attached to the sentiment and body of the butterfly.

Encircled In Beauty Dies

Welcome Ladies & Guys,

I used the Encircled In Beauty Dies (#155546) to cut the designer paper and gold foil.

The Designer Series Paper is the 6”x6” Neutrals and I used the Merry Merlot colour. After cutting with the Encircled In Beauty Die I attached it to the same size piece of Basic White card (#159228). This was then attached to the Brushed Metallic cardstock (#153524). The Gold Shimmer Ribbon (#156470) was wrapped around the cardfront before attaching this to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment from Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) was stamped with Merry Merlot ink (#147112) and cut with an Ornate Frames die (#150664) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I cut a piece of Merry Merlot card (#147005) with a Layering Circles die (#151770) and attached this in the middle of the circle which was cut out by the detailed die. The next layer was also cut with another of these dies with the Brushed Metallic cardstock. This was attached on top of the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut the Merry Merlot heart with a die from Warm Wraps (#153521), then added a retired heart embellishment which worked perfectly for this card.

Many Layered Blossoms

Hi,

Something different with an all white card, except for the sentiment, for this beautiful sympathy card.

The card stock is Basic White (#159228). I embossed the cardfront with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (#156505) which will be available from the new Mini catalogue from 3rd August. I then attached an Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to the back of another piece of Basic White card and cut the 2 floral images using dies from the Many Layered Blossoms (#153582) and attached them together, then to the card.

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) and stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with a Hippo & Friends Die (#153585) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Shaker Card

Hello again,

I always seem to have excess sequins, so have found a great use of some with this shaker card.

I cut the top Basic White card (#159228) with 2 of the Stitched So sweetly dies (#151690) to make a “frame”. I then attached a piece of Window Sheet (#142314) to the back of this card. Then I attached Foam Adhesive Strips (#141825) around the outside of the “frame”. I put some of the Sequins For Everything (#153556) onto the middle of the Daffodil Delight card (#121680) then attached the “frame” to the card. 

The next layer is from the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper (#155426) and this was attached to another piece of Daffodil Delight card, then to the Basic White base card. 

I stamped the daisy from Daisy Lane stamp set (#149325). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The Medium Daisy punch (#149517) was used to punch the daisies and they were attached together with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The small leaves are cut with the Forever Flourishing Dies (#152714) and I used Soft Sea Foam card (#147012).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) and stamped with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) and cut with a die from the Bloom Dies (#155989). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach this to the card. A gold sequin from the Sequins For Everything was glued to the flower centre with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309).

Shaded Summer

Hello again my friends,

The Shaded Summer stamp set (#155783) can be found in the Annual catalogue.  For those who love to have dies that co-ordinate with stamp sets, you will be excited to see there will be dies available as part of the Sale-a-bration products (with a $180 order) to match this set. These are the Summer Shadows Dies (#156618). As well as dies to cut the 2 floral images and the small branch in the stamp set, there are 8 other dies to cut flowers and leaves, so a great set to get.

The stitching around the Basic White card front (#159228) was done with the Stitched With Whimsey Dies (#155314). I then stamped one of the floral images from the Shaded Shadows stamp set with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). Some images were stamped using the “Stamping off” method.

The other floral image was stamped with Mango Melody ink (#147093) using the Stamparatus (#148187). After cleaning the stamp and without moving it, I re-inked with VersaMark (#102283) and stamped over the original image. I then sprinkled this with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I cut it with the die from the Summer Shadows Dies.

The flower and leaves were also cut from this same die set. The leaves were cut from Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) and the flower from Mango Melody card (#147013). I daubered the detailed cut-out of the leaves with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) and the flower with Mango Melody ink, to give a slightly darker colour. These detailed pieces were glued to the base flower and leaves using Fine- Tip Glue Pen (#138309).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Shaded Summer stamp set and stamped with Mango Melody ink. A die from the Meadow Dies (#155852) cut the sentiment. The sentiment and flowers were all attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Mini Glue Dots (#103683) were used to attach the leaves.

I added glimmer to the detailed parts of the flower and leaves using the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) and added a Pearl Basic Jewel (#144219) to the flower centre.

I daubered the card front with Mango Melody ink before attaching it to the Basic White base card.

Elegantly Said

Hello,

All the images on this card are from the Elegantly Said stamp set (#155095).

I stamped the detailed swirls using VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I used the Stamparatus (#148187) to stamp the images on both pieces of Basic White card (#159228). Then the white cards were attached to the Gorgeous Grape card (#147011). The ribbon is Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon (#154572). 

I stamped the flowers with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and then fussy cut them. Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach this to the card. The sentiment was also stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink. After assembling the card I added the Pastel Pearls (#154571).

Ornate Layers dies

Hello friends,

I do love dies as they make cardmaking easy with beautiful results.

I cut the butterflies using the Brilliant Dies (#155523). Pacific Point card (#116202) was used for the solid base butterfly and Silver Foil 12”x12” Specialty Pack (#156457) for the detailed butterfly on top. This foil is from the upcoming Mini catalogue and consists of 3 sheets - 1 brushed finish, 1 matt finish and 1 mirrored foil finish.

“Thank you” was stamped with Pacific Point ink (#147098). This sentiment is from the Ornate Thanks stamp set (#158301). The sentiment and silver foil underneath were cut with dies from the Ornate Layers (#152726).

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) using the Bark 3D Embossing Folder (#155431). Using a Blending Brush (#153611) I lightly coloured the embossed card, then attached it to the Pacific Point card.

The sentiment and butterfly were attached to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I added Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) to the body of the butterfly.

Delicate Dahlias

Hello friends,

I have a sneak peek today of one the Sale-a-bration products which will be available from 3rd August, free with a $90 order. This stamp set is Delicate Dahlias (#156601) and is a 2 step stamping set.

I stamped the first flower in the bottom left corner. I stamped the outline image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708), then stamped the coloured image with Poppy Parade ink (#147050). The other 2 flowers are stamped using the masking method. To do this I stamped the outline image on 2 pieces of post-it notes and cut the image very close to the line. I then placed one of these cut images over the Poppy Parade dahlia and stamped the flower with Memento ink and Highland Heather ink (#147103). This was repeated with the Daffodil Delight (#154883) dahlia, this time covering both the Poppy Parade and Highland Heather flowers. I then stamped the leaves also using the masking technique. The outline leaves were stamped with Pear Pizzaz ink (#147104) and the inside colour was also stamped with Pear Pizzaz but I “stamped off” first to give a lighter colour.

The sentiment is from the same stamp set and stamped with Poppy Parade ink. This was cut with the Messages Die (#154422) and attached to the Basic White card front (#159228). I daubered the edges of the card front with Poppy Parade ink and this was attached to the Basic White base card. The Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#146924) were attached to finish the card.

The masking technique is a great way to have 2 or more images but not stamping over the other images and giving more dimension to the card.

Free As A BIrd

Hello & welcome,

These cute little birds are from The Free As A Bird stamp set (#149468) and I have coloured the image with Stampin’ Blends.

The Stampin’ Blends used to colour are Pale Papaya (#155519), Pool Party (#154894), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Fresh Freesia (#155518), Crumb Cake (#154882), Granny Apple Green (#154885), Poppy Parade (#154958) and Pumpkin Pie (#154897). This was then cut with a Tailor Made Tags Die (#155563).

I embossed the Basic White card front with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder (#152725) and attached a triangle of the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper (#155426) to the card. I cut a piece of Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) with a die from the Stitched Triangles (#152710) and attached this to the corner of the “tag”.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Art Gallery stamp set (#158201) and stamped with VersaMark (#102283). This was heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). A Stitched Rectangles die (#151820) was used to cut the sentiment. I threaded the Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) through the tag and attached this and the sentiment to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The diamond shaped embellishments are from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials (#155567) and I coloured these with the Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends before attaching them to the card.

Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach one of the flowers to the card and the other was taped. Holiday Rhinestones (#150457) were added to the centre of the pansies and a Bumblebee Trinket was added to the card using a Mini Glue Dot (#103683)

Positive Thoughts

Hello friends,

The Dotty Hearts Embossing Folders (#155434) has 2 smaller folders which can be used with the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine (#150673).

I stamped both sentiments from the Positive Thoughts stamp set (#151490) with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052). I embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with one of the Dotty Hearts embossing folders. I cut the “Hugs Prayers Love” with a Tasteful Labels Die (#152886). I also cut a piece of Flirty Flamingo card (#141421) with the same die, then used a Layering Circles Die (#151770) which was slightly larger to cut a ring to fit around the sentiment.

The butterfly was stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink. The Gold Foil sheet (#132622) was used to cut the 2 small butterflies and feather. The butterflies & feather were cut with Nature’s Thoughts Dies (#153586). These were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I used Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of the small butterflies.

I daubered the edge of the card front with Flirty Flamingo ink and attached this to the Basic White base card.

Expressions In Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello stamping friends,

The Expressions In Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper (#155464) has a range of gorgeous papers with Gold foiling and I have used one here for the card front.

Free As A Bird

Hello again my friends,

I love these cute little birds from the Free As A Bird stamp set (#149468) which I have coloured with Stampin’ Blends.

I stamped the birds and the flower using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends used to colour these images are Poppy Parade (#154958), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Pool Party (#154894), Pale Papaya (#155519), Fresh Freesia (#155518), Granny Apple Green (#154885) and Crumb Cake (#154882).

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151585) and cut with a Meadow Die (#155852). I threaded the Gold trim from the Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) through the label and wrapped it around the card.  The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

The leaves from the Forever Fern stamp set (#152559) were stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) and cut with a die from the Forever Flourishing dies (#152714). These were attached the the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The flower was fussy cut, then attached to the card.

Picture This dies

Hi,

Today I have made an easy card using the Picture This dies (#155559). This set consists of  2 dies -1 die with circles and the other with rectangles.

I cut the circles from the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper (#155426) using the Picture This die. I also cut Poppy Parade card (#121694) with the same die. I daubered the edges of the DSP with Poppy Parade ink (#147050) before attaching it to the Basic White base card (#159228). I then attached the red circles to the corresponding cut outs of the DSP.

I cut the flowers from another sheet of DSP also from Pattern Party DSP using the Picture This dies, and coloured the flowers with Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends (#154958). The sentiment is from the Encircled In Friendship stamp set (#155408) and stamped with Poppy Parade ink, then cut with the same die. I attached the sentiment & flowers, slightly offsetting them, using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Another easy card.

I used the Stacked Stone background stamp (#152556) to stamp the Very Vanilla card front (#106550) with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder from the Metallics pack (#155555), then set with the Heat Tool ($129056). This was attached to the Evening Evergreen card (#155575). The base card is also Very Vanilla. I taped one pot plant to the card and the other was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Thanks” is from the Ornate Thanks stamp set (#149471) and also gold embossed. A die from the Ornate Frames (#150664) was used to cut the sentiment. The Gold trim is from the Simply Elegant Trim (#155766). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897) to add some glimmer to the leaves.

Sea Life Dies

Hi again,

Here is a bright, glittery and easy card using the Ombre Specialty Paper (#155784), which has 4 colours of glitter paper - Mango Melody, Night Of Navy, Poppy Parade (which I have used) and Gorgeous Grape (not used on this card).

I used the dies from the Sea Life Dies (#155684) to cut the seahorse, fish and seaweed. The seahorse is designed to have partial pop-up pieces as I have done here. However you can hand cut the small pieces where it is still attached to allow you to have it as a separate piece. The seaweed was attached using Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the fish.

The sentiment is from the Blossoms In Bloom stamp set (#158283) and stamped with Poppy Parade ink (#147050). This was cut with a Hippo & Friends die (#153585) and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The base card is Basic White (#159229). As I said, a very easy card.

Forever Grapevine Bundle

Hello,

I have used the Forever Grapevine Bundle (#155618) as well as 2 retired stamp sets for the wine glass and bottle, as I thought they all worked great together.

I stamped the grapevine from the Forever Grapevine stamp set (#155626) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I coloured the leaves with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#147095), the grapes with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends (#155611) and the vine with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#147116). The leaves were cut from Granny Apple Green card (#147014) using a die from the Grapevine Dies (#155620) and attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I stamped the wine bottle (from the retired Half Full stamp set) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, then coloured it with Light Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blends (also now retired). The top of the bottle was coloured with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. The bottle was fussy cut. The wine glass from Sip Sip Hooray stamp set (also retired) and the sentiment from Forever Grapevine stamp set were stamped with Fresh Freesia ink (#155611). The wine glass was cut with a die from the retired Sip & Celebrate Dies. “Thank You” was cut with a die from the Grapevine dies. The wine glass and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

The Basic White card front (#159228) was attached to the Granny Apple Green card, then this was attached to the Basic White base card. I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the wine glass and grapes.

Basic Borders Dies

Hi my friends,

I am loving this detailed floral die from the Artistic dies (#155371).

I stamped “Happy Birthday” from the Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) with Polished Pink ink (#155712) at the base of the card front. I cut the Basic White card front  (#159228) with a Basic Borders Die (#155558), then attached this to the Polished Pink card (#155711)

Using the Blending Brushes (#153611), I coloured a piece of Basic White card using Polished Pink ink (#155712), Fresh Freesia ink (#155611), Pale Papaya ink (#155670) and Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). This was then cut with the Artistic die. I had attached a piece of Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to the back of the card before cutting for ease of attaching the detailed cut out to the card.

I added the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the detailed cut out but as usual doesn’t show on the photo. The Pastel Pearls (#154571) were added to finish the card.
