Splendid Day suite

Hi,

This will be my last blog for the year so I wish you all a very Merry Christmas & best wishes for 2023. I will be back early in the New Year with new & exciting products from the new Mini catalogue.

I am starting to go through some of the products that will be retiring on 4th January when the current Mini Catalogue retires. The Splendid Day Suite (#159681) is one of those retiring so thought I would make todays card with these products.

The DSP on the background is from the Splendid Day 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159666). The green strip attached to the DSP is from the Brushstroke 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#159250). I cut the Pearlescent 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#154291) with a Scalloped Contours Die (#155560).

I stamped the leaves from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set (#159668) onto the Blushing Bride & Soft Succulent Brushstrokes Specialty Paper using Blushing Bride ink (#147100) and Soft Succulent ink (#155778) All the leaves were cut with the Splendid Stems Dies (#159676). I used the Rose Gold Specialty paper (#159139) for the fine leaves at the top right of the card.

The 3 sets of  “leaves” behind the sentiment are the Open Leaf Trinkets (#159967) and these were attached using Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The sentiment is from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set and stamped with Soft Succulent ink and a die from the Splendid Stems was used to cut this. Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach this to the card.

Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper

Welcome everyone,

The Fitting Florets 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#161814) is only available till 4th January so don’t miss out on this beautiful paper which co-ordinates with the Framed Florets Bundle (#162407). However this bundle will be still available in the next Mini Catalogue.

Some of the flowers in the DSP are able to be cut with the Framed Florets Dies (#160623). These flowers are the light and darker pink ones at the top of the card. The other flowers were fussy cut. 

I dry embossed the Basic White card (#159228) with the Gingham Embossing Folder (#157627). The strip of DSP along the bottom is also from the Fitting Florets pack. The flowers were attached with Tape & Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144106). The Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) were added to the card and as usual added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the flowers.

Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

I thought I had finished making all my Christmas cards but just realised I still need some last minute ones. I have used the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper (#159559) on this card.

The red striped DSP and the candy canes are from this pack. These candy canes co-ordinate with the Candy Cane Dies (#159569). It makes it so easy when the dies will cut the images on the DSP. The stamped images on the Basic White card (#159228) and the sentiment & banner are from the Christmas Banners stamp set (#159570). These were stamped with Real red ink (#147084), Garden Green ink (#147089) and Crumb Cake ink (#147116). The sentiment banner was cut with a die from the Christmas Banners Dies (#159576).

The Garden Green card (#108605) was attached to the white card. The base card is Basic White.

The banner & top candy cane were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Saleabration Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper

Hello crafty friends,

Sale-a-bration is just around the corner, starting on 5th January 2023. When you place a qualifying order ($90 in Australia) you can choose a free Sale-a-bration product. One of the products is the Dainty Flowers 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#160834). This co-ordinates with the Dainty Delight Bundle (#160675) which is available in the Mini catalogue starting at the same time. Here’s a sneak peak of some of these products.

The 2 designs of DSP are from this pack and attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

I used the Dainty Delight Dies (#160674) to cut the flowers and the gold leaves. The gold leaves are from the Gold Foil Sheet (#142020). For the flowers I used Starry Sky card (#159264) and Crushed Curry card (#131288). The Gold Foil had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) adhered to the back for ease of attaching to the card. I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the flowers to the card. The centre of the flowers were attached to the flower with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Celebrate You” is from the Dainty Delight stamp set (#161078) and stamped with Starry Sky ink (#159212). A die from the Splendid Stems Dies (#159676) was used to cut the sentiment and attached it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) were attached to the card.

Two-Tone Flora Bundle

Hello friends,

Today I am showing you a sneak peek from the Mini Catalogue which starts on 5th January 2023. I am using the Two-Tone Flora bundle (#160414) and this is a two step stamp set which allows you to get the 2 colours on the flowers.

Each of the flowers are stamped using the Two-Step stamping method. I stamped each flower with the ink for the darker colour, then for the lighter colour I inked the stamp, “stamped off” onto scrap paper  then stamped on top of the first image. I found it easier to stamp the darker colour first so it is easier to line up the images. The ink colours used for the flowers are Starry Sky (#159212), Orchid Oasis (#159214), Sweet Sorbet (#159216) & Tahitian Tide (#159210). The small leaves were stamped with Parakeet Party (#159208) and the larger leaves are stamped with Granny Apple Green (#147095). The flowers and leaves were cut with the Two-Tone Flora Dies (#159181) and the stamp set is the Two-Tone Flora stamp set (#160844). Have you noticed the stamp set, dies and bundle all have the same name which makes it so much easier to remember which stamps & dies go together.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was also cut with the same die set and attached to the Basic White base card. The leaves & flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Starry Sky ink, then cut with a Meadow Die (#155852) and attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are the Iridescent Pastel Gems (#160429). I added some glimmer to the flowers with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

Blessings Of Home

Hi everyone,

It’s very unusual for me to do a card with “simple stamping”. I think you know I like to use dies, punches, embossing folders, embossing powders etc. However if you are just starting card making, want something simple or are in a rush to make a card you can still achieve lovely results with basic supplies.

I coloured the Basic White card (#159228) for the background using Blending Brushes (#153611) with Orchid Oasis Ink (#159214), Polished Pink ink (#155712), Tahitian Tide ink (#159210) and Parakeet Party ink (#159208).

Next I stamped the beautiful floral image from the Blessings Of Home stamp set (#157930) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was also stamped with this ink. The card front was attached to the Basic White base card. 

How simple is that!!

TIP: If you have trouble getting your sentiment straight on your card, stamp it on an angle, as I have done here, and it will look great.

The 2 smaller pieces of Cajun Craze were dry embossed with the Stripes from the Stripes and Splatters Embossing Folders (#157980) and the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder (#156505).

The Designer Series Paper is from Abigail Rose (#159037) and He’s The Man Specialty (#159068).

The sentiment & planer are from the Vintage Tools stamp set (#159098) and stamped with Cajun Craze ink (#147085). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

He’s The Man Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

If you are looking for a product for simple masculine cards you can’t go past the He’s The Man Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159068). As well as a great variety of masculine designs there are 2 sheets of die-cuts which you just need to pop out and attach to your card. How simple is that!

The two designs of DSP on this card are from this pack, as well as the van which is one of the die-cuts.

I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) with Early Espresso ink (#147114). I used the Stamparatus (#148187) to stamp this as I also wanted to stamp with VersaMark (#102283) and add Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) and of course set it with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The DSP was matted with Early Espresso card (#121686), then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). The van was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I added the now retired Pebbles Enamel Shapes to the card.

I always say you can make a quick & easy but lovely card using Designer Paper.

Artistic Dies

Hi everyone,

I was having a mental block today when it came to making a card so I have made my version of a card from Tammy Wilson, from the 2021 Stampin’ Up Design Team. Thanks for the inspiration.

I cut the Basic White card (#159228) with a die from the Artistic Die (#155371) for the floral image. The Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) was dry embossed with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406), then matted within the Brushed Metallic Cardstock (#153524). The base card is Basic White.

The floral image was attached with Mini Glue dots (#103683). The DSP is from the Design A Daydream Designer Series Paper (#159161) and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I cut the Gold Foil with a die from the Flowers Of Home dies (#157938) and also attached with Mini Glue dots to the DSP.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Artistically Inked Stamp set (#154542). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) which needs to be set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The die from Sending (#159271) was used to cut the sentiment.

I attached the Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155765) and the Soft Sea Foam Seam Binding Ribbon (#159680) under the sentiment. Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to attach the sentiment to the card. Elegant Faceted Gems (#159189) were also added.

Blessings Of Home

Hello stamping friends,

A pretty card using the beautiful floral image from the Blessings Of Home stamp set (#157930). 

I stamped this image with Tuxedo Black memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). The Stampin’ Blends to colour this are Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Pale Papaya (#155519), Balmy Blue (#154830), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Fresh Freesia (#155518) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). This was then cut with a die from the Flowers Of Home (#157938).

The background is the Blushing Bride from the Brushstrokes 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#159250). I used the Stitched Greenery Die (#155451) for the stitched effect. This paper was matted with Basic Black card (#121688), then attached to the beautiful Iridescent Foil from the Rose Gold 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#159139). This foil picks up all the colours of the rainbow which makes it hard to photograph. The base card is Basic White.

The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The leaves were cut from the same Rose Gold Foil which had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) attached to the back and I used the Flowers Of Home dies.

The sentiment, also from the Blessings Of Home stamp set was stamped with Tuxedo Black memento ink and cut with a Sending Die (#159271). The embellishments are from the Fine Sparkle Adhesive-backed Gems (#159967).

TIP: If you don’t want to “waste” your specialty paper when using them to matt the card, as I have done on this card, you can cut a piece out of the centre which can’t  be seen once the other card is attached.

Fresh Cut Flowers

Hi friends,

The clearance rack has some extra products added including the Fresh Cut Stems Die (#160251) which co-ordinates with the Fresh Cut Flowers stamp set (#159018). While stocks last this die set is only $24 instead of $60 so a fantastic bargain and I don't think they will be available for very long. I have used this stamp set & die for the flower on this card.

The flower was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with the die.

The scallops on the Gold from the Gold & Rose Gold Metallic Specialty Paper (#156844) was cut with a die from the Scalloped Contours (#155560) then I dry embossed this with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317). This was attached to the Bermuda Bay card (#131286), then to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The smaller scalloped Bermuda Bay rectangle was also cut with a Scalloped Contours Die. The flower image was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The sentiment from Flowering Tulips (#157672) was stamped with Bermuda Bay ink (#147096) and cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820). This was attached with Mini Stampin Dimensionals (#144108).

Merriest Moments stamp set

Hi & welcome,

I have made several variations of cards using poinsettias and the wreath for Christmas cards, so here is another variation.

The Daffodil Delight card (#121689) was dry embossed with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406). I punched the corner of this card and the Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878), then these were attached to the Basic White Base card (#159228).

“Merry Christmas” is from the Brightest Glow stamp set (#159542) and this was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083). A Labels Aglow Die (#159551) was used to cut the sentiment.

The flowers and leaves are from the Merriest Moments stamp set (#156353) and cut with the co-ordinating Merriest Frames Hybrid dies (#156358). I used Shaded Spruce ink (#147088) for the leaves and Cherry Cobbler ink for the flowers. I attached the smaller flower to the larger flower using Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The wreath was cut from Pearlescent Specialty paper (#154291) using a Natural Prints die (#158800). This was also attached with Mini Glue dots. The flowers and sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Glue Dots for the leaves.

The bow is cut with a Birdhouse Die (#158847) and I used Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237). This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The Real Red Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics (#156310) was used for the centre of the flowers. This does take a bit of time to dry so this is the last thing I do on the card then put the card aside to allow it to dry.

Boughs Of Holly Designer Series Paper

Hello & welcome my friends,

The flowers from the Boughs Of Holly Designer Series Paper (#159600) have been fussy cut, then I added some extra stamped leaves around the flower.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317) and matted with Shaded Spruce card (#147006), then attached to the Basic White base card.

I backed the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237) with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), then cut this with the frame die from the Framed Florets (#160623). This was adhered to the card front.

The poinsettias were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The leaves from the Merriest Moments stamp set (#156353) were stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088) and cut with a die from the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder & Dies (#156385). These leaves were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Deer stamp set (#156891) and stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). This was cut with a Potted Succulent die154330). I cut the ends off the label and cut the words apart. Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the words to the card. The cute Flowers Trinkets (#159191) were added to the card. You probably can’t see the glimmer on the flowers which I added with the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897).

Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

The Designer Series Paper used for the background of this card is from the Pretty Prints DSP (#159245).

I cut strips of this DSP and glued it to a piece of Basic White card (#159228), using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). This was then matted with Gold Foil (#132622) and attached to the Basic White base card.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763). This is definitely my go to stamp set for greetings at the moment with different size words  and fonts of popular greetings. I stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) and used Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) which of course was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I used a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820) to cut the sentiment. This was taped to the card.

I used a Honeybee Blooms die (#157951) to cut the leafy piece from the Gold Foil backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The beautiful Brush Brass Butterflies (#158136) were added to the card.

Holly Berry Dies

Hello everyone,

These lovely holly leaves are cut with the Holly Berry Dies (#159607).

With Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of the Gold Foil (#132622) I cut these detailed leaves and the Shaded Spruce card (#147006) with the Holly Berry dies. The berries were stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) and Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083) and also cut with the Holly Berry dies.

“Season’s Greetings” from the Brightest Glow stamp set (#159542) was stamped with Real Red ink and cut with a Labels Aglow Die (#159551).

I punched the corners of the Boughs Of Holly Designer Series Paper (#159600) and the Shaded Spruce card with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878). This was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). The leaves were taped to the card front and the sentiment and berries were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

TIP: when using this Very Best Trio Punch, once you punch a corner, turn the card over (so you will be seeing the back of the card or DSP) to punch the opposite corner so you get a reversed image of the 2 cutouts.

Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper

Hi my friends,

I find colouring with the Stampin’ Blends very relaxing and it was very easy on this Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper. (#159037).

The Stampin’ Blends used are Daffodil Delight (#154883), Poppy Parade (#154958), Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Fresh Freesia (#155518), Blackberry Bliss (#154877), Granny Apple Green (#154885), Soft Succulent (#155521), Mint Macaron (#154889) and Old Olive (#154892).

I matted the DSP with Basic Black card (#121688) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228).

“Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and cut with a Frosted Flurry Die (#159811). I attached the Silver Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) to the card and added the sentiment on top with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are the retired Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials.

I couldn’t finish this card without adding Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to all the flowers.

Another easy but pretty card.

Pretty Birds Bundle

Hello stamping friends,

The Pretty Birds Bundle (#158847) consists of the Pretty Birds Stamp Set (#158845) and the Birdhouse dies (#158846) which I have used for todays card.

I stamped the birds with Tuxedo Black memento ink (#132708) and these were cut with the co-ordinating dies. The Stampin’ Blends used to colour the birds are Daffodil Delight (#154883), Granny Apple Green (#154885), Balmy Blue (#154830), Tahitian Tide (#159221) and Crumb Cake (#154882).

I used one of the designs from the Snowflake Specialty Vellum (#159832) for the background and this was matted with Tahitian Tide card (#159262), then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

“Best Wishes” from the Happiness Abounds stamp set (#159238) was stamped with Tahitian Tide ink (#159210) and cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). The bird cage was cut from Gold Brushed Metallic cardstock (#153524).

I attached the group of birds with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The bird cage, sentiment and single bird were all attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are the Fine Sparkle Adhesive-backed Gems (#159967).

Tip: when attaching vellum I avoid adding adhesive where it will show through. I usually attach all the pieces to the front of the vellum first, then you can see on the back where to add the adhesive. I used Mini Glue dots behind the gems and tape on the larger areas which can’t be seen.

Blessings Of Home bundle

Hello everyone,

I think you know that I love to use embossing powders, so here is another card using the Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555).

The gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was attached to the card and the stamped flowers were added with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Gold Adhesive- Backed Swirls (#161822) were added to the card.
