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.

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).

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.

Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder & Die

Hi friends,

The Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder & Die (#159168) is a set that can be used together or separately. You can use the embossing folder as normal, or you can fit the die into the embossing folder and you can cut and emboss at the same time. I have used both on this card.

For the Very Vanilla (#106550) background I embossed with the embossing folder. Firstly I inked one side of the folder with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) then ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (#149653). I chose the de-embossed side as this added the colour nicely to the leaves. This card was attached to the Pear Pizzazz card (#147104) and a piece of Design A Daydream Designer Series Paper (#159161) was added to the side. The Gold & Vanilla Satin-Edged Ribbon (#159555) was wrapped around the cardfront, then attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

The sentiment from the Framed Florets stamp set (#161815) was stamped with Soft Sea Foam Ink (#147102) using the Stamparatus (#148187). I then re-stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed this with Clear Embossing Powder (#155554) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The Beautiful Shapes Dies (#158046) were used to cut the sentiment and the Pear Pizzazz card underneath.

The gold leaves were cut and embossed with the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder & Dies. The Gold is from the Brushed Metallic 12”x12” Cardstock (#153524). 2 of the leaves and the sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Classic Matte Dots (#158146) were added to finish the card.

Fresh Cut Flowers

Hi stamping friends,

The flowers here are from the Fresh Cut Flowers stamp set (#159018).

The flowers were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). This was coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Balmy Blue (#154830), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Real Red (#154899), Granny Apple Green (#154885 and Old Olive (#154892). This was cut with the now retired Fresh Cut Stems dies.

I used the Stitched Greenery Die (#155451) on the Basic White card front. This was matted with Basic Black card (#121688) and Granny Apple Green card (#154885) then attached to the Basic White base card.

A die from the Chic Dies (#158815) was used to cut the Silver Foil (#156457) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). This was attached to the card front and the flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Thinking Of You” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, then cut with a Frosted Flurry die (#159811). Stampin’ Dimensionals were also used to attach the sentiment. The Silver Festive Pearls (#159963) were added to the card. Of course I added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the flowers & leaves as I like that bit of shimmer on my cards.

It matches with the Framed Florets stamp set (#161815) & dies (#160623) which are available now and will be in the new Mini catalogue starting in January.

Texture Chic

Hi everyone,

I have seen many cards with the Twisted Ribbon technique so have used it on this card today. We all have those bits and pieces of designer series paper lying around so a great opportunity to use those “scraps” that we keep as they will come in handy one day!!

I have used the Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper (#158808) for the “ribbon” and the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237) for the background.

For the strips of “ribbon” I cut them 1/2” x 3 1/2” (or 13mm x  90mm). I cut 6 of each of the 2 designs. With some DSP you may like both sides which work well together. I found that a lighter colour worked best for the “reverse side” of “ribbon”  and a darker one for the top piece. These were attached with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

I used a piece of Basic White card (#159228) which was 138mm x 76mm (or 5 1/2” x 3”). I marked from top to bottom on both sides at 1/2” (13mm). When placing the DSP I had the bottom of the strip at the 1/2” mark on the left side and the top of the DSP strip at the 1/2” mark on the right so it is on an angle. Continue down the card at each 1/2” mark. Then place the other design of the DSP on top as you can see on the card and continue down the card. The strips will be a bit longer than you need so cut off the excess level with the white card.

This was then attached to the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper and attached to the Basic White base card.

The flowers and sentiment are from the Season Of Chic stamp set (#158810). These were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The Chic Dies (#158815) were used to cut out the flowers and the gold leaves. A Meadow Die (#155852) was used to cut the sentiment. The leaves were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) and Mini Dimensionals (#144108) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683) were used to attach the flowers.

Framed Florets Bundle

Hello beautiful & crafty friends,

I just love the early release Framed Florets Bundle (#162407) which is now available and will be in the upcoming Mini Catalogue in January. I have made this gorgeous slimline card using these products.

The hearts were cut with a Framed Floret die (#160623) on Basic White card (#159228). The top corners were punched with the Very Best Trio punch (#159878). The sentiment from the Framed Florets stamp set (#161815) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and cut with another die to cut the oval. The same die was used to cut the Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) for the oval frame. These were attached to the card.

The flowers and leaves, also from the same stamp set, were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends used to colour these images are Fresh Freesia (#155518), Highland Heather (#154887), Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Granny Apple Green (#154885), Soft Succulent (#155521) and Evening Evergreen (#155517). The 3 die cut leaves were cut from Granny Apple Green card (#147014) with a Framed Florets Die. Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the images to the card.

The Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels (#158987) were added to the card and Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add sparkle to the flowers.

Fond Of Autumn Bundle

Hi friends,

I have used the Fond Of Autumn stamp set (#160266) but decided on using more spring/summer colours as it’s that time of year in Australia, and starting to warm up too quickly.

I stamped the image twice using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). The flowers and leaves were coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Fresh Freesia (#155518), Polished Pink (#155520), Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Granny Apple Green (#154885) and Daffodil Delight (#154883). These were then cut with a die from the Autumn Bouquet Dies (#159837). One of the dies cuts this image into 4 different pieces, so that’s the die I used. I didn't used the middle part with the larger leaves but I am sure I will find a use for them on another card.

I cut the Basic White card front with the Split Card Textures Dies (#159162) and attached this to the Polished Pink card (#155711). The base card is also Basic White. I attached the flowers & leaves to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“ Just a Note” from the Fond Of Autumn stamp set was stamped with Polished Pink ink (#155712) and cut with a Potted Succulent die (#154330). I used the White Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics (#156310) for the centre of the flowers. Clear Wink Of Stella (#14897) was added to the flowers for that bit of sparkle.

Enchanting Details Dies

Hello friends,

On this card the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237) had been cut with an Enchanting Details Die (#159166).

As usual I had the Gold paper backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting with the die. I used this adhesive for detailed die cuts for ease of  adhering to the card. This was attached to the Very Vanilla card (#106550). This was then matted with the Orchid Oasis card (#159265). I wrapped the Orchid Oasis Metallic Woven Ribbon (#159199) around the card, then attached this to the Very Vanilla base card.

“Thinking Of You” is from my favourite sentiment stamp set - Go To Greetings (#158763). A Seasonal Labels Die (#156299) was used to cut the sentiment. Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach this to the card.

The butterflies from the Brilliant Wings dies (#155523) were cut from Orchid Oasis card and attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). If the Dimensionals are too large, just cut them. I find the edges of the Dimensionals are great to cut thin strips just perfect for the centre of the butterfly.

The Opal Rounds (#154289) were attached to the butterflies and label.

Rugged Icons dies

Hi stamping friends,

It’s a while since I have made a masculine card so I have used the guitar from the Rugged Icon Dies (#159104) for this card.

The 2 designs of Designer Series Paper is from He’s The Man Specialty (#159068). This was attached to the Early Espresso card (#121686).

I cut 2 guitars from two of the colours from the Brushed Metallic 12”x12” Cardstock (#153524). I had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) adhered to the back first and these were attached to the card. I used the outline of each colour and swapped the colours for the inside.

“Thinking Of You” is from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) and stamped with Early Espresso ink (#147114). A Frosted Flurry Die (#159811) was used to cut the sentiment.

Holly Berry Dies

Hello again my friends,

Another Christmas card using my favourite traditional Christmas colours - red, green & gold.

I attached the strip of Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237) to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550). The scallops were cut with a die from the Penned Flowers (#155557) using Shaded Spruce card (#147006). This was attached to the Boughs Of Holly Designer Series Paper (#159600), then attached to the base card.

The Shaded Spruce card backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) was cut with a Holly Berry Die (#159607). The gold behind the leaves was cut with another die, then the “label” was attached to the card. “Christmas Wishes” was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#1055555) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). Another Holly Berry die was used to cut the sentiment. The berries were cut from Real Red card (#106578) and Distressed Gold Paper. The sentiment and berries were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

In The Moment

Hello friends,

In The Moment stamp set (#157987) has 3 beautifully lined images which are great for colouring, including the one I have used for todays card.

This was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic white card (#159228). The Stampin’ Blends used are Orchid Oasis (#159223), Poppy Parade (#154958), So Saffron (#154905), Balmy Blue (#154830), Soft Suede (#154906) and 900 from the Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends (#159465). This was cut with a Framed Florets Die (#160623). I very lightly blended Balmy Blue ink (#147105) using a Blending Brush (#153611) to the background.

Using the same die, I cut the Orchid Oasis card (#159265) for the “frame”. I dry embossed a piece of Basic White card with the Painted Textures 3D Embossing Folder (#154317). The stamped image was taped to the card front and the frame was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The white card was matted with Orchid Oasis card and attached to the Basic White base card.

“Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Orchid Oasis ink (#159214). A Frosted Flurry Die (#159811) was used to cut the sentiment and also attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The embellishments are from the 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots (159186).

Painted Poppies

Hi friends,

It’s Remembrance Day in Australia on Friday which made me think about the Poppies from the Painted Poppies stamp set (#151599) which I haven’t used for some time.

I stamped the smaller poppies along the bottom of the Basic White card front (#159228) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). Then I stamped the taller poppies using the masking method. The poppies were coloured with Real Red Stampin’ Blends (#154899) and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends (#154458). The leaves and stems were coloured with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends (#154892).

The card front was matted with Basic Black card (#121688). The Real Red Ribbon from the Real Red & Garden Green Ribbon Combo Pack (#159577) was wrapped around the card, then this was attached to the Basic White base card.

“Just A Note” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) and cut with a Frosted Flurry Die (#159811). The die cut Poppy was cut with the Poppy Moments Dies (#151594). I used Real Red card (#106578) and Basic Black card which was backed with Adhesive sheet (#152334). This poppy and the sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Rays Of Light

Hello everyone,

I was having a clean up in my craft room (a never ending job) and came across some bits and pieces and immediately thought “I could make a card with those pieces”, so was very happy with this beautiful card. I do love the traditional red, green & gold for Christmas.

The Rays Of Light stamp (#158925) was used for the background. I stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) onto Pearlescent Specialty Paper (#154291) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was matted with the Shaded Spruce card (#147006) then attached to the Real Red base card (#106578).

The poinsettias were fussy cut from the Boughs Of Holly Designer Series Paper (#159600). These flowers were from the edge of the paper, so you don't need to throw any of these beautiful flowers away.

“Merry Christmas” from the Brightest Glow stamp set (#159542) was also Gold heat embossed. A Labels Aglow die (#159551) was used to cut the sentiment.

The flowers at the top and the sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the other flower was taped to the card.

Artistic Dies

Hi friends,

Here’s a lovely bright & cheery card using many of my favourite colours for the background.

I coloured the background using Ink Refills on Shimmery White card (#121717). I sprayed water on the card then added the following colours - Granny Apple Green (#147163), Orchid Oasis (#159215), Rich Razzleberry (#115664), Daffodil Delight (#119672) and Polished Pink (#155713) using a Water Painter (#151298). I randomly added the colours then sprayed extra water to allow the colours to blend. This can be put aside to dry if you have time or dry it with the Heat Tool (#129056), which is what I did. This was matted with the Daffodil Delight card (#121680) then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

I cut the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) with an Artistic Die (#155371) for the floral image. The gold was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), so it’s easy to attach the detailed die cut to the card.

The sentiment from the Sending Smiles stamp set (#158701) was stamped with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) and cut with a Sending Die (#15927). This was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are the Glossy Dots Assortment (#158827).

TIP: You can achieve a lighter coloured background by adding more water to the ink before applying to the card or a darker background by adding less water.

Lights Aglow Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello stamping friends,

Another pretty and easy Christmas card, this time using the beautiful Lights Aglow Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159535).

I have used 3 designs from the Designer Paper. I attached the 2 designs on the card front, then I matted the square design with Gold Foil (#132622) and this was attached to the card.

The sentiment is from Brightest Glow stamp set (#159542) and stamped with VersaMark (#102283) onto Very Vanilla card (#106550). This was embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with a Stylish Shapes Die (#159183) and attached to the card.

The 3 snowflakes from the Frosted Flurry dies (#159811) were cut from Gold Foil which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). After these were attached to the card I used the Real Red Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics (#156310) on the centre of each snowflake. This needs some time to set so set the card aside so it can’t be damaged.

Boughs Of Holly Designer Series Paper

Hello stamping friends,

I have fussy cut the beautiful poinsettia flowers from the Boughs Of Holly Designer Series Paper (#159600).

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder (#156385) and attached it to the Real Red base card (#106578).

The flowers were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). “Merry Christmas” from Christmas To Remember stamp set (#156300) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056).  A Labels Aglow die (#159551) was used to cut the sentiment.

The Gold Holly Leaves (#156311) and the Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#146924) were added for some bling. I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the leaves. I also added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the flowers.
