Wild & Sweet stamp set

Hi friends,

From 1st November the Framed Florets Dies (#160623) & Framed Florets stamp set (#161815) will be available to purchase. These are an early release from the Mini catalogue which will be available from January 2023. I have used the dies for the frames on this card.

I stamped the cute koala image from the Wild & Sweet stamp set (#158775) using Crumb Cake ink (#147116). Using a Blending Brush (#153611) and Balmy Blue ink (#147105) I added some light blue around the koala. The Stampin’ Blends to colour the stamped image are Crumb Cake (#154882), Ivory (#154922), Soft Sea Foam (#154902) and Old Olive (#154892).

I cut the frame from the Brushed Metallic cardstock (#153524) using a Framed Florets die. This card was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). I also cut a piece of Very Vanilla card (#106550) with another die. This was attached to the card front with Mini Glue Dots (#103683), then the frame was placed over this.

“Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Soft Suede ink (#147115). This was cut with a Potted Succulents die (#154330). This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I added the Classic Matte Dots (#158146) to finish the card.

Amazing Silhouettes stamp set

Hello again,

This tree is from the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set (#157814).

This image was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) onto Evening Evergreen card (#155575). The Heat Tool (#129056) was used to set this. I then lightly coloured the embossed image with Soft Succulent ink (#155778) and a Blending Brush (#153611). The corners were punched with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878). When using this shape on the punch there is a little trick. Punch the first corner then flip the card over to punch the second corner to get a mirror image. Probably best to experiment on scrap card first.

The Stitched Greenery die (#155451) was used to create the “stitched leaves” on the Gold Distressed Specialty Paper (#159237). The Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon (#155573) was wrapped around the card front.

“Thinking Of You” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Evening Evergreen ink (#155576) and cut with a Potted Succulent die (#154330). This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Cottage Rose Bundle

Hello again stamping friends,

I have used the partial die cutting again on this card, like the Christmas tree card I did a few days ago.

I stamped the flower & leaf images onto Basic White card (#159228) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). These stamped images are from the Cottage Rose stamp set (#159040). They were coloured with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends (#155518) and Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends (#154889). I used So Saffron Stampin’ Blends (#154905) for the centre of the flower and the tiny flowers.

I positioned the Fresh Freesia card (#155518) on the stamped card and placed the die around the flower and used a post it note to keep the die in place (as shown below).

Remove the Fresh Freesia card with the die in place and cut the card.

Repeat with the leaf image.

I dry embossed this card with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (#156505), then attached this to the white card. 

The sentiment also from the Cottage Rose stamp set was stamped with Fresh Freesia ink (#155611) and I used a die from the Pretty Pillowbox dies (#156321) to cut the sentiment. The sentiment & card front were daubered with Fresh Freesia ink.

Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the sentiment. The cute little Heart Pearls (#159190) were added to the card.

Sun Prints Designer Series Paper

Hello my friends,

The 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper used on this card is from the beautiful Sun Prints (#158790).

I matted the Gray Granite DSP with Starry Sky card (#159264). The Blue DSP was attached on top. With Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of the Silver Foil from the Silver Foil Specialty Pack (#156457), I cut the leaves with a die from the Natural Prints Dies (#158800) and attached them to the card.

The sentiment is from the Nature’s Prints stamp set (#158793) and this was stamped with Starry Sky ink (#159212). The sentiment was cut with another Nature’s Prints die and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The silver embellishments are from the Festive Pearls (#159963). The base card is Basic White (#159228).

Another easy card!! I have had a very busy schedule over the last couple of months so most of the cards need to be easy.

Candy Cane dies

Hello friends,

A lovely glittery Christmas card using the Gold from the Gold & Rose Gold Specialty Paper (#156844).

I cut the gold paper with a Candy Canes Die (#159569) and attached this to the Shaded Spruce base card (#147006). The candy canes from the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper (#159559) were also cut with the Candy Cane dies.

The gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was attached under the sentiment. The leaves were cut with Christmas Banners dies. The Mint Macaron card (#138344) was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting the leaves.

Rays Of Light

Hello stamping friends,

A super easy card today using the Rays Of Light stamp (#158925). This stamp is a background stamp so will cover a standard size card.

I stamped this image with VersaMark (#102283) onto a piece of the Boughs Of Holly Designer Series Paper (#159600). This was embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I matted this with the Sweet Sorbet card (#159266) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228). 

The sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set (#159542) was stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink (#159216), then punched with the Handmade Tag Punch (#159690). I also punched a piece of Sweet Sorbet card, cut it in half and attached it to the sentiment. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the sentiment to the card.

As I said, Super easy.

Shadow box

Hi friends,

I have made a shadow box for my nephew’s baby. A photo will be added as well as all the relevant birth details. This would also be great for a scrapbook page.

The card for the name, photo and information is Pacific Point (#116202) and Pearlescent Specialty Paper (#154291). I have used the Gold from the Gold & Rose Gold Metallic Specialty Paper (#156844) for the seahorse & large fish. The octopus was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) & heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

For everything else I have used all retired stamps, dies, foils and designer series paper. The dies are Sea Life, Under The Sea and Stitched Nested Labels. The stamp sets are Seas The Day and Sea Of Textures. The DSP is Waves Of the Ocean.

Christmas Lights

Hello stamping friends,

An easy but effective card using the Christmas Lights Bundle (#159961).

I stamped the Christmas tree from the Christmas Lights stamp set (#159538). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). 

I then placed the piece of Basic White card (#159228) on the left side of the tree and placed the die in place as shown below.

I carefully removed the white card with the die in place and cut it with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (#149653). This removes part of the Christmas tree. I then dry embossed the white card with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder (#158804) and attached it to the card. The card front was attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment from Brightest Glow Stamp set (#159542) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). This was cut with a die from Labels Aglow (#159551). I cut another circle from the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183) and attached this to the die cut sentiment. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). A silver Festive Pearl (#159963) was added to the top of the tree.

This technique could be done with many stamped images with co-ordinating dies.

Sending Smiles Bundle

Hi friends,

The background on this card has been achieved using ink refills and Water Painters (#151298). This is a great way to have a background with the colours you want.

The Ink Refills used are Orchid Oasis (#159215), Mango Melody (#147162), Melon Mambo (#115662) & Flirty Flamingo (#141402). I used a Water Painter and randomly added the colours to the Shimmery White card (#121717). After colouring the card I sprayed it with extra water which allows the colours to blend. Put this aside to dry or dry with the Heat Tool (#129056).

I then stamped the flowers from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set (#154411) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). This was matted with Orchid Oasis card (#159265) and attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

“Birthday Wishes” from the Sending Smiles stamp set (#158701) was stamped with Orchid Oasis ink (#159214). The dies to cut the sentiment and “sending” are from the Sending Dies (#159271). “Sending” was cut from Orchid Oasis card which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). This was attached to the Gold Foil (#132622). Both sentiments were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Elegant Faceted Gems (#152464) were added to the card.

Shaded Summer

Hi everyone,

I have had some work done in my craft room recently and had to move most of my “stuff” so haven’t been able to access most it, so that’s why I have been missing some days lately. Hopefully everything will be back on track soon.

Christmas Banners Dies

Hello friends,

Each year I hold full day classes making Christmas cards which is a very popular class. I usually have around 15 cards for the ladies to choose from and they all work on different cards, working at their own pace, so there is no waiting for stamps, inks etc. They end up with a great variety of cards for their days work. 

This card today is one design they had to choose from this year.

The used Evening Evergreen card (#155575) and Soft Succulent card (#155777) to cut the leaves with the Christmas Banner Dies (#159576). The Merry Merlot (#147005) leaves were cut with the dies from the Holly Berry dies (159607). All the  card stock was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting with the dies making it easy to attach them to the card.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Gingham Embossing Folder (#157627), then attached to the Evening Evergreen card.

The sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set (#159542) was stamped with Merry Merlot ink (#147112), then cut with a Labels Aglow die (#159551). The Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon (#155573) was threaded through the label and wrapped around the card front. This was then attached to the Basic White base card

Fresh Cut Flowers

Hello stamping Friends.

How often do we use the main image in a stamp set and not use the smaller images. On this card I have used 2 of the smaller images of the Cut Fresh Flowers stamp set (#159018).

The Stamparatus (#148187) is the perfect tool to position multiple images perfectly on the card. I have drawn a 10cm square & diamond onto the grid paper on the Stamparatus as shown below. The diamond wasn’t used for this card.

I positioned and stamped the image onto the card which was placed on the square. This was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708).

I turned the card and re-stamped on the card

Continue stamping the 4 images and repeat with the 2nd image, which I stamped with Bermuda Bay ink (#147096).

I coloured the flowers & leaves with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends (#155518), Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends (#155519), Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends (#154889) and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894).

Happy Birthday from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) was stamped with Fresh Freesia ink (#155611). This and the Fresh Freesia card (#155614) were cut with Stylish Shapes dies (#159183).

I used the Stitched Greenery die (#155451) on the Fresh Freesia card for the background. This was attached to the Basic White base card. The base card is 13cmx13cm. The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I added Fresh Freesia Sequins from the Adhesive Backed Sequins & Gems (#159972) to the centre of the flowers & the sentiment.
