Grassy Grove Bundle

Hi again,

The Grassy Grove Bundle (#157845) has been used for today’s card. This bundle consists of the Grassy Grove stamp set (#157836) and the Grove Dies (#157844).

I stamped the Very Vanilla card (#106550) with the “vegetation” image from the Grassy Grove stamp set, using Pear Pizzaz ink (#147104) for the background. I added some Balmy Blue ink (#147105) and Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) using Blending Brushes (#153611) for the sky.

I cut the trees with a Grove die from Boughs Of Holly Designer Series Paper (#159600). This paper worked well for the trees with the variation of the green. This was attached to the Very Vanilla card using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The base card is also Very Vanilla.

I used Soft Suede card (#119982) for the larger deer and Crumb Cake card (#121685) for the smaller deer. These were cut with the Grove dies and attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the 3 deer.

“Just A Note” is from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) and stamped with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111). A Beautiful Shapes Die (#158046) was used to cut the sentiment.

Splendid Day

Hello & welcome my friends,

The Splendid Day Suite (#159681) is a beautiful set which I have neglected a bit lately, so here is an easy card using some of this suite.

The beautiful Splendid Day 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159666) was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). Sending Hugs is from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set (#159668) and stamped with Mint Macaron ink (#147106). This was cut with a Splendid Stems Die (#159676).

The Stitched Greenery Die (#155451) was used to achieve the stitched leaves on the Mint Macaron card (#138344). 

I cut the leaf with another die from Splendid Stems using Rose Gold 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#159139). As usual for more detailed or fine detail I have Adhesive Sheet (#152334) adhered to the back of the card before cutting with dies. This makes it easy to attach to the card. A border die from the Fresh Cut Stems dies (#160251) was used to cut the Rose Gold detailed border which I attached to the Mint Macaron card. This was then attached to the card. The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#158130) were added to the card.

Don’t forget the Perfect Partners are only available till the end of September. These are dies available which co-ordinate with stamp sets which normally don't have any dies. Check out all the details here lesleyjendra.stampinup.net

Peace To You Christmas card

Hi everyone,

The sentiment was cut with a die from the Pretty Pillowbox dies (#156321). The stamped image and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

This was attached to the solid piece cut from the Gold from the Gold & Rose Gold Metallic Specialty Paper (#156844). I used Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) for the leaves and this was also backed with Adhesive sheet.

Twinkling Lights Dies

Welcome friends,

A very easy Christmas card using a die from the Twinkling Lights Dies (#159541) to cut the Christmas tree.

I cut one tree from the Light Aglow 6”x6” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159535) and the other one from Evening Evergreen card (#155575). I dry embossed the Evening Evergreen tree with one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders (#155433).

The Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237) was matted with Evening Evergreen card, then attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550). The Evening Evergreen tree was taped to the card, then the other tree was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment from the Leaves Of Holly stamp set (#159601) was stamped with Evening Evergreen ink (#155576) and cut with a Stylish Shapes Die (#159183). This was also attached with Dimensionals. The star at the top of the tree is an Adhesive Backed Star (#159965).

I used the White from the Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics (#156310) to add the “pearls” to the tree. This does take a little time to set, so ensure it is the last thing you do on the card and put it aside till it sets so it doesn’t get smudged. There are 2 other colours in this pack of Enamel Effects which are Real Red & Black.

Cottage Rose

Hello stamping friends.

I have made my own mask for the background of the card front using a die from the Organic Beauty dies (#158983).

After cutting with the die, I placed the die-cut piece which I used as a mask onto the card front  (so this wasn’t actually attached to the card) and blended Orchid Oasis ink (#159214) using a Blending Brush (#153611). The card front was matted with Orchid Oasis card (#159265) then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The floral image from the Cottage Rose stamp set (#159040) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends to colour this are Balmy Blue (#154830). Orchid Oasis (#159223) and Daffodil Delight (#154883). I cut this image as well as the gold foil pieces from the Brushed Metallic card stock (#153524) with the Cottage Flowers Dies (#159047). As usual I had backed the gold foil with Adhesive Sheets (#152334) before cutting with the dies, which makes it easy to attach these fine die cuts.

“Happy Birthday” from the Cottage Rose stamp set was stamped with Orchid Oasis ink. A Stylish Shapes die (#159183) was used to cut the sentiment. The Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was attached to the card under the sentiment. The sentiment and floral image were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Forever Fern

Hello my friends,

Sara, the CEO of Stampin’ Up! was demonstrating an easy technique called “stamp painting” so I have used this on the leaves from the Forever Fern stamp set (#152559) to give a variation in colours to the leaves.

I used this technique on the 3 stamped leaves. I added a small amount of ink refill onto a clear block. The colours used are Soft Suede (#115663), Cherry Cobbler (#119788) and Pumpkin Pie (#105229). I inked the stamp with Old Olive ink (#147090) as usual. Then using the wider brush of the Water Painters (#151298), I picked up a small amount of ink on the brush and applied it around the edge of the stamp. I stamped the image onto Shimmery White card (#121717). I repeated this with each of the colours and using the Old Olive ink for the base colour of each of the leaves. These leaves were cut with the Forever Flourishing Dies (#152714).

The Bronze Foil from the Brushed Metallic cardstock (#153524) was also cut with a Forever Flourishing Die which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

I stamped the image from the Fond Of Autumn stamp set (#160266) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and cut with a die from the Autumn Bouquet dies (#159837). The die to cut this image cuts the image into 4 separate images so I only used one of the cut images. This was coloured with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends (#154892), Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#154882), Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends (#154880) and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends (#154890).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763), stamped with Old Olive ink (#147090) and cut with a Frosted Flurry die (#159811).

The card front is from the Design A Daydream Designer Series Paper (#159161) and matted with Old Olive card (#106576). The base card is Very Vanilla (#106550). Classic Matte Dots (#158146) were added to the card and I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add glimmer to all the stamped images.

Eden’s Garden

Hello stampin’ friends,

The Eden’s Garden stamp set (#157823) and the co-ordinating Eden Dies (#157831) have been used for this card.

The leafy image was stamped with Soft Succulent ink (#155778). The circles were cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183). Evening Evergreen card (#155575) was used for the larger circle.

The DSP is from the Lights Aglow Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159535). I cut the leaves and the leaf border from the Brushed Metallic 12”x12” Cardstock (#153524) using the Eden Dies. The DSP and gold border were attached to the Basic White card front (#159228), then matted with Evening Evergreen card.

The circles were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The small die cut leaves had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) adhered to the back before cutting. These adhesive sheets make it so easy to adhere the more detailed die cuts to the card.

“Happy Birthday” from Celebrating You stamp set (#158028) was stamped with Evening Evergreen ink (#155576), then cut with a Meadow Die (#155852). Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to attach the sentiment.

Season Of Chic

Hello friends,

These flowers & leaves are from the Season Of Chic Stamp set (#158810). This is a Two-Step set which allows you to stamp the outline and inside colours with different inks, or you could choose to just use the outline or inside image for some variation.

The flowers were stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) for the outline and the inside with Highland Heather (#147103). The leaves were stamped with Old Olive ink (#147090) for the outline and Pear Pizzaz (#147104) for the inside. The stamped images and the Pear Pizzaz (#131290) die cut leaves were all cut with the Chic Dies (#158815).

I used a die from the Labels Aglow Dies (#159551) for the circle of dots on the Basic White card front (#159228). This was then matted with the Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The leaves were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Happy Birthday” from the Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink and cut with a Labels Aglow die. Stampin’ Dimensionals were also used to attach this to the card.

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add some glimmer to the flowers. The embellishments for the flower centres and on the card front are 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds (#159185).

Peace To You

Hi everyone,

Here’s my first Christmas card for the year, using the beautiful Peace To You stamp set (#159776).

I stamped both the sentiment and image with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I used a die from the Pretty Pillowbox dies (#156321) for the sentiment and Mary, Joseph & Jesus was cut with a Scalloped Contours die (#155560).

The Metallic & Shimmer 6”x6” Specialty Paper (#159909) was matted with the Gold Foil (#132622), then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the die cut pieces to the card. I added an Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewel (#158130) to the centre of the star.
