Wild & Sweet stamp set

Hi & welcome my friends,

We have the occasional koala on our property (not as many as we used to have visit us) so was very excited to see this cute koala image as part of the Wild & Sweet stamp set (#158775).

I stamped the koala with Smokey Slate ink (#147113) onto Basic White card (#159228). I used Ivory Stampin’ Blend (#154922) to colour the koala, Soft Sea Foam (#154902) & Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#154882) for the tree branches and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885) for the leaves. I also added some glitter to the koala with the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897). I lightly blended the background with Balmy Blue ink (#147105) and a Blending Brush (#153611).

The stamped image & Old Olive card (#106576) were cut with the Deckled Rectangles Dies (#159173). I dry embossed the Old Olive card with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406). I gold embossed the edges of the Old Olive card and the stamped image with VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Stampin’

Emboss Powder (#155555) and set this with the Heat Tool (#129056). See tip below.

I backed a piece of Old Olive card with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting the leaves from the Delicate Edges dies (#159180), then attached this to the base card.

The base card is Very Vanilla (#106550). The designer paper is from the Design A Daydream Designer Series Paper (#159161). This is a Host product so can be used with Stampin’ rewards with a qualifying order. There are 48 sheets in this pack so is great value.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) and also Gold Embossed. A Stylish Shapes Die (#159183) was used for the sentiment. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the sentiment and the Koala to the card.

TIP: To gold emboss the edges of the rectangles, I wiped the edges of the card onto the VersaMark pad, added the Gold embossing powder then set it. If you find that there is too much powder, I used a small brush to wipe off the excess before setting it. If you feel there isn't enough powder, set it first then re-apply the VersaMark & powder and heat set it again.

Hello Ladybug bundle

Hi stamping friends,

Here’s a cute and vibrant card using the Hello Ladybug Bundle (#157699). I am so pleased that this is carrying over from the mini catalogue (which retires on 30th June) to the current annual catalogue.

The base card & card front are Basic White (#159228). The designer paper is Parakeet Party from the 2022-2024 In Color 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#159253). This was cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies (#151820) and matted with Basic Black card (#121688).

I stamped the leaf from the Hello Ladybug stamp set (#157693) using Parakeet Party ink (#159208). The circles were cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The wings of the ladybug and the flowers were stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). The spots on the wings and the sentiment were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The body of the ladybug & wings were punched with the Ladybug Builder Punch (#157698). I used retired Black Glitter Paper for the body. The flowers were fussy cut.

 “Congrats” is from the Celebrating You stamp set (#158028) and another die from the Stylish Shapes was used to cut this. The sentiment, ladybug and flowers were all attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). Matt Black Dots (#154284) were added to the card. I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897) on the flowers and spots on the wings.

Hues Of Happiness Designer Series Paper

Hi everyone,

I have had a small break away which is always nice to recharge the batteries again.

Stampin’ Up! have a variety of Designer Papers which have co-ordinating images with dies and that’s what I have used on todays card with the Hues Of Happiness 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#158822) and the Blossoming Happiness Dies (#158823).

The Basic White base card (#159228) measures 13cmx13cm. The Melon Mambo card (#119980) has been used to matt the Hues Of Happiness Designer Series Paper.  All the flowers and leaves are cut with the dies from the Blossoming Happiness Dies from the DSP and attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The ribbon is the beautiful White Glittered Organdy Ribbon (#156408) and I added Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) to the centre of the flowers. “Best Wishes” is from the Happiness Abounds stamp set (#159238) and stamped with Melon Mambo ink (#147051). A Stylish Shapes Die (#159183) was used to cut the sentiment. This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I added some glimmer to the flowers using the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897).

There are stamped flower & leaf images from the Happiness Abounds stamp set which also co-ordinate with the dies.

Double Gate Fold card

Hello friends,

This Double Gate Fold card is an easy fancy fold card and is a great way to use your bits & pieces of Designer Paper.

The Basic White base card (#159228) measures 15cm x 29cm. I scored at 3.5cm & 9cm at each end of the long side and folded as shown above.

The sizes for the Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper (#158808) are - 3cm x 14.5 and 5cm x 14.5cm, and you need 2 of each. These were attached to the card.

I cut Gold Foil (#132622) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), with a die from the Artisan Additions dies (#159172). This was adhered to the inside of the card.

For the belly band I cut Soft Succulent card (#155777) 4cm x 25cm and scored each end at 6.8cm from each end. I folded the belly band and taped it together. I then dry embossed this with the Splatters from the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folders (#157980).

The sentiment from Eden’s Garden stamp set (#157823) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The hexagons were cut with the Beautiful Shapes Dies (#158046) and attached to the belly band. The butterfly was cut with a Brilliant Wings Die (#155523).

Nature’s Prints Bundle

Hello crafty friends,

I love the subtle colours used on this card using the Nature’s Prints Bundle (#158801).

The leaves from the Nature’s Prints stamp set (#158793) were stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102), Pear Pizzaz ink (#147104) and Old Olive ink (#147090). I used the dies from the Natural Prints Dies (#158800) to cut the stamped leaves as well as the die cut leaves using the Mother Of Pearl Specialty Paper (#157666). The Mother Of Pearl was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting.

The card stock used is Basic White (#159228) and Soft Sea Foam card (#147012). I cut the smaller rectangle of Basic White card & the Soft Sea Foam card with the Deckled Rectangles dies (#159173). I used the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (#156505) to dry emboss the card front and the Fern 3D Embossing Folder (#158804) for the smaller piece of embossed card.

The sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) was stamped with Pear Pizzaz ink then cut with a Beautiful Shapes Die (#158046).  The beautiful Sprig Trinket (#159188) was attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Vintage Tools

Hi again,

The Vintage Tools stamp set (#159098) is perfect for the handyman in your life.

The tools and the sentiment, all from the Vintage tools stamp set, were stamped with Soft Suede ink (#147115). The tools were fussy cut and I used a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820) for the sentiment. There are no dies with this stamp set but these images are very easy to cut by hand.

The base card is Very Vanilla (#106550). I attached 2 pieces of the He’s The Man Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159068) to the card. I cut a piece of Very Vanilla card with the largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183), then dry embossed this with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406). I coloured the small white brads from the Square & Round Brads (#155570) with the Dark Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends (#154906). I used the paper piercer from the Take Your Pick Tool (#144107) to make a hole in each corner of the diamond, then attached the coloured brads. This was then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

The tools were attached with tape & Stampin’ Dimensionals, and the sentiment with Dimensionals.

Bottled Happiness Bundle

Welcome my friends,

Here’s an easy shaker card using the Bottled Happiness Bundle (#158690) and the Vintage Bottle Shaker Domes (#158788).

I punched the bottle from the Basic White card (#159228) using the Vintage Bottle Punch (#158689). The flowers were stamped with Highland Heather ink (#147103) and the leaves with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). These images are from the Bottled Happiness stamp set (#158684) and is a Two-step stamp set. 

There is adhesive strip on the front & back of the Vintage Bottle Shaker Dome. I attached the card on the front of the bottle. Then I turned this over and half filled the bottle with the Effervescent Elements (#158789). I then added a piece of Highland Heather card (#147010) to the back of the bottle to hold all the 

Balls” in place.

This was then attached to the DSP from the Hues Of Happiness 12’X12” Designer Series Paper (#158822), and attached to the Basic White base card. The sentiment is from Happiness Abounds stamp set (#159238) and stamped with Highland Heather ink.

Artisan Additions Dies

Hi & welcome again everyone,

The Artisan Additions Dies (#159172) is where you will find the die that I used for the detailed cut-out on this card. As usual, I had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) adhered to the back of the Gold from the Brushed Metallic Cardstock (#153524) before cutting with the die.

The scalloped strip was cut using a Penned Flowers die (#155557). This and the DSP was attached to the card front. I daubered the edges of the card front with Crumb Cake ink (#147116) before attaching it to the Basic White base card.

Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

Have you seen the gorgeous Pretty Prints 12’x12” Designer Series Paper (#159245). This pack consists of  6 designs in 4 different colours. I have used one of  the Calypso Coral designs.

Designer Tags Dies

Hi crafty friends,

2 of the Designer Tags Dies (#159165) have been used on this card today.

I cut the Orchid Oasis from the 2022-2024 In-Color Designer Series Paper (#159253) with a die from the Designer Tags. I stamped “Thank You” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) with Orchid Oasis ink (#159214) on Basic White card (#159228). This was cut with another Designer Tags Die.

The base card is Basic White. I dry embossed the Basic White card front with the Quaterfoil Tile Embossing Folder (#158655) then matted it with Orchid Oasis card (#159265). I threaded the Orchid Oasis Metallic Woven Ribbon (#159199) through the label, then I attached the label to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

The butterfly was cut using a die from the Brilliant Wings Dies (#155523) from the Brushed Metallic Cardstock (#153524). This was attached using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the body of the butterfly. This allows you to bend the wings up.

Split Card Textures dies

Hello and welcome again,

Firstly, my apologies for being absent for so long. In my last post I said I would be having a break for about 10 days but didn't expect it to be this long. I was going on a short holiday but after 5 days was tested positive for Covid. I still thought I would only be feeling unwell for perhaps a week, but it is now 15 days and still not over it. However today is the first day I have felt like doing anything in the craft room.

I have used one of the 2 dies from the Split Card Textures Dies (#159162) to cut the Basic White card (#159228).

This was attached to the Sweet Sorbet base card (#159266). The leaves from the Forever Fern stamp set (#152559) were stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) for the larger leaves, and Parakeet Party ink (#159208) for the smaller leaves. The Forever Flourishing Dies (#152714) were used to cut the stamped leaves and the Gold Foil (#132622) leaves. The Gold Foil was backed with the Adhesive Sheets (#152334). The larger leaves were attached using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Thinking Of You is from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) and stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink (#159216). I used a Seasonal Labels Die (#156299) to cut the sentiment. This was also attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I hope you are all keeping well.
