Happy Hedgehogs

Hello again my friends,

A cute little card using the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set (#157983) and the co-ordinating Hedgehog Builder Punch (#157984).

I used the Gold & Green card from the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack (#160428). I used a Picture This die (#155559) to cut the green card and this was attached to the gold.

All the images are from the the Happy Hedgehog stamp set. The hedgehog was stamped with Soft Suede ink (#147115) and I coloured it with the “800” Stampin’ Blend from the Medium blends (#159463). I stamped the mushrooms with Blushing Bride ink (#147100) and these were coloured with the “700” also from the Medium Stampin’ Blends, Ivory (#154922), “1000” from the Light Stampin’ Blends (#159465) & Granny Apple Green (#154885).

The bird & butterflies were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I used Daffodil Delight (#154883) and Starry Sky (#159222) Stampin’ Blends for the butterflies. The bird was coloured with Daffodil Delight, So Saffron (#154905) & Real Red Stampin’ Blends (#154899). I used Balmy Blue (#154830) & Granny Apple Green (#154885) for the flower.

The hedgehog was punched with the Hedgehog Builder Punch and the other images were fussy cut.

“Just For You” is from the Celebrating You stamp set (#158028) and stamped with Soft Succulent ink (#155778). I cut this with the same Picture This Die and attached it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The hedgehog, mushrooms & bird were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the butterflies. The Flower Trinkets (#159191) are the embellishments.

Season Of Chic

Hello friends,

The Season Of Chic Bundle (#158816) and the Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper (#158808) have been used on this card.

The Designer Series Paper was attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550). The frame from the Framed Florets Dies (#160623) was used to cut the Gold Foil (#132622). This was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) and attached to the DSP.

The flowers, leaves and the “mesh” are cut with the Chic Dies (#158815). I used the green Fine Shimmer Paper (#160428) for the “mesh”, Evening Evergreen card (#155575) for the leaves and Polished Pink card (#155711) and Melon Mambo card (#119980) for the flowers. “Thinking of You” is from the Season Of Chic stamp set (#158810) and this was stamped with Polished Pink ink (#155712). A Pretty Pillowbox die (#156321) was used to cut the sentiment.

The flowers and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The embellishments are from the 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds (#159185).

Biggest Wishes

Hello,

The Stamparatus (#148187) is the perfect tool to stamp “Happy” & “Birthday” on this card. These stamps are from the Biggest Wish stamp set (#155052).

I stamped “happy” with Starry Sky ink (#159212), Crushed Curry ink (#147087), Shaded Spruce (#147088) and Merry Merlot ink (#147112). I used Real Red ink for “birthday”. “Happy” was set up on the Stamparatus and I moved the plate one notch at a time for each of the words. This Basic White card (#159228) was matted with Real Red card (#106578). The Real Red Ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack (#160386) was wrapped around the card front, then attached to the Basic White base card.

The guitar from the Enjoy The Rhythm stamp set (#160361) was stamped with Real Red ink, and this was cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820). I then dry embossed this with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Around The Bend dies

Hello again friends,

Todays card is variation of the last card I posted using the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack (#160428) and using a variety of dies for the leaves.

I cut the Gold from the Fine Shimmer pack using an Around The Bend die (#160649), then punched the top left corner with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878). This was attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550). The shimmery green leaves and the shimmery purple flowers & square are also from the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack. For the other leaves I used the Brushed Metallic cardstock (#153524).

The dies for the leaves and flowers are from the Around The Bend dies, Dainty Delight dies (#160674), Framed Florets dies (#160623 and Queen Bee dies (#160484). 

The stamped flower is from the Petal Park stamp set (#160571). This was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I added some Gorgeous Grape from the Assortment 2 Watercolor Pencils (#149014). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to spread some colour toward the tips of the petals. This was punched with the Petal Park Builder Punch (#160576).

All the card for the leaves had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) attached to the back before cutting, to make them easy to attach to the card. The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The layers of the mauve & gold flowers were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The sentiment is from the Framed Florets stamp set (#161815) and stamped with Highland Heather ink (#147103). This and the mauve card were cut with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183).

Fine Shimmer Paper Pack

Hi again,

I have used a variety of dies for the flowers & leaves on this card. The card front is from the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack (#160428) and I used the Stitched Greenery die (#155451) to create the stitched leaves.

The stamped flowers are from the Petal Park stamp set (#160571) and stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Petal Park Builder Punch (#160576) was used to punch the flowers. There are actually 3 different size flowers on this stamp so I have stamped it 3 times as I wanted all 3 flowers the same size. I added the colour to the centre of the petals using the Melon Mambo Watercolor Pencil from Assortment 1 (#141709) and Gorgeous Grape Watercolor Pencil from Assortment 2 (#149014). I then blended the colour using the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897).

I used the Silver Foil Specialty Paper (#156457) to cut the leaves and flower. I had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of the foil. The dies used for these are the Framed Florets (#160623), Around The Bend (#160649), Irresistible Blooms (#161149), Queen Bee (#160484) and Dainty Delight (#160674). I also cut & embossed 2 flowers with the Brushed Bouquet Dies (#160473) from Pearlescent Specialty Paper (#154291). I lightly daubered these flowers with Fresh Freesia ink (#155611). For the small flowers I used the Fresh Freesia from the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack.

The sentiment from the Framed Florets stamp set (#161815) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This and the silver under the sentiment were cut with Beautiful Shapes Dies (#158046).

Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430), Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683) were used to attach the sentiment and flowers. Adhesive-Backed Studs (#160767) were added to the card.

Easy Fun Fold Card

Hello again my friends,

This is a really simple fun fold card (not sure what it’s called) and I have added a belly band which I have attached the sentiment and flower.

The Real Red card (#106578) was cut 25.3cm x 15cm. I scored on each end of the longer side at 5.1cm & 8.8cm. The DSP is from the Ready To Ride Specialty Designer. Series Paper (#160752) and these were cut 4.6 x 14.5cm.

The flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (#161140) was stamped on the Basic White card (#159228) with Real Red ink (#147084) and this was attached inside the card.

I used the larger flower from the same set to stamp on Real Red card. This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The co-ordinating Irresistible Blooms die (#161149) was used to cut the flower. The sentiment also from this stamp set was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and cut with a Stylish Shapes Die (#159183).

To make the belly band I cut a piece of Real Red card 22.5cm x 4.5cm. I scored each end at 6cm, folded the ends and taped where they overlap to make the band. I dry embossed the belly band with the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder (#158655).

The sentiment was taped to the belly band and the flower was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The belly band is now ready to slide over the card.

In The Moment

Welcome everyone,

At this time of the year when the Annual catalogue is coming to an end soon (on 1st May), I tend to look at some stamp sets that I haven’t used in a while and may or may not retire. So today I have used the In The Moment stamp set (#157987).

The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). The Stampin’ Blends to colour this are Bermuda Bay (#154878), Crumb Cake (#154882), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Ivory (#154922), Sweet Sorbet (#159224), 500 from the Medium Natural Tones (#159462) and 1000 from the Light Natural Tones (#159465).

I used a Small Blending Brush (#160518) to apply the Balmy Blue ink (#147105) to the background.

I made the frame using 2 of the dies from the Desert Details Dies (#160531) and I used one of the 3 silvers from the Silver Foil Specialty Pack (#156457). I attached the frame to the  stamped image. The Bermuda Bay card (#131286) was dry embossed with one of the Basics Embossing Folders (#161598) and attached to the Basic White base card. The frame with the stamped image was attached using Foam Adhesive Strips (#141825).

The embellishments are the Adhesive Backed Studs (#160767). The Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used on the clothing & cup for that bit of shimmer.

Design A Daydream Designer Series Paper

HI again,

I needed a card for a cyclist so this DSP with the bikes from the Design A Daydream 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#159161) is perfect. This pack of DSP is a Host product and is great value with 48 sheets with a great range of designs and colours.

I cut the scalloped edge of the DSP and the Coastal Cabana card (#131302) with a die from the Around The Bend Dies (#160649). The Pool Party card (#124391) was cut with a die from the Artisan Additions (#159172).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) and stamped with Pool Party ink (#147107). I used the Stitched With Whimsy Dies (#155314) for the stitching around the sentiment and on the DSP. The sentiment was matted with Coastal Cabana card. The corners were punched with the Detailed Trio Punch.

The DSP was matted with the Coastal Cabana scallops, then attached to the Pool Party card front. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Glossy Dots Assortment embellishments (#158827) were added to the card.

Seaside Bay Bundle

Hello friends,

I have used the Seaside Bay Bundle (#160445) and the By The Bay Specialty Designer Series Paper (#160434) again today with a completely different card from yesterday using the same bundle & DSP.

I attached one piece of the Designer Series Paper to the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237). I cut the other piece of DSP and the Night Of Navy card (#106577) with the Stitched Rectangles Dies (#151820) and attached these to the card. The base card is Basic White (#159228).

The birds from the Seaside Bay stamp set (#160436) and the sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set (#158201) were stamped with Night Of Navy ink (#147110). The birds were cut with the Seaside Bay dies (#160444) and the sentiment with a Stitched Rectangles Die. Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attached these to the card.

I added 3 Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls (#160434) to the card. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the birds. The Night Of Navy ink (and other darker inks) tends to bleed when using the Wink of Stella but that is the effect I wanted to add the lighter blue to the bird.

By The Bay

Hello stamping friends,

This is a very shimmery card using the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack (#160428) and the By The Bay Specialty Designer Series Paper (#160434).

I cut the By The Bay Specialty Designer Series Paper with one of the dies from the Desert Details Dies (#160531). The green paper from the Fine Shimmer 

12”x12” Paper Pack was cut with another of the dies. This was then attached to the Gold from the Fine Shimmer Paper then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The small shells from the Seaside Bay stamp set (#160436) were stamped with Crumb Cake ink (#147116) and cut with a die from the Seaside Bay Dies (#160444). These were attached to the sides of the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The “seaweed” and shells were also cut with Seaside Bay dies. I used the Distressed Gold 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#159237) for these shells, and the shells & seaweed were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

“Best Wishes” is from the Art Gallery stamp set (#158201) and stamped with Soft Succulent ink (#155778). I cut this with a Sending Die (#159271). This die is longer than I wanted so I cut it close to the “B”, then re-positioned the die to cut off the excess on the other end. The sentiment was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Elegant Borders Dies

Hello everyone,

This pretty border is from the Elegant Borders Dies (#161593). There are 4 border dies in this set as shown below.

I have cut the Basic White card (#159228) with the die. The sentiment from the Dainty Delight stamp set (#161078) was stamped with Orchid Oasis ink (#159214).

I dry embossed the Orchid Oasis card (#159265) with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (#156505). The corners of this card and the Basic White card were punched with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878).

I stamped the flowers from the Petal Park stamp set (#160571) twice. First I stamped the outline with Orchid Oasis ink, then stamped the inside again with Orchid Oasis ink but I stamped off first so I had a lighter colour. These flowers were then punched with the Petal Park Builder Punch (#160576).

The flowers were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The White Opaque Adhesive-Backed gems (#160412) were attached to the centre of the flowers.

Cottage Rose Bundle

Hello friends,

I am certainly no gardener but I do love flowers which seem to dominate many of my cards. This flower on todays card is from the Cottage Rose stamp set (#159040).

I stamped the flower with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Very Vanilla card (#106550). This image was coloured with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883), Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends (#154878) and Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends (#155519). The co-ordinating die from the Cottage Flowers Dies (#159047) was used to cut the image.

“Best Wishes” is from the same stamp set and stamped with Bermuda Bay ink (#147096). A Pretty Pillowbox Die (#156321) was used to cut the sentiment.

I cut the 3 border pieces using the Desert Details Dies (#160531) from the Green Fine Shimmer Paper Pack (#160428). The Very Vanilla card front was dry embossed with one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders (#161598). There are 3 different embossing folders in this set. The borders were taped to the card front, then this card was then matted with the green Fine Shimmer Paper and attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

The floral image and sentiment were both attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) gives the shimmer to the flower & leaves.  The embellishments (sorry I can’t remember where they are from but possibly from a kit) were attached to the card to add an extra sparkle.

Desert Details Dies

Hello stamping friends,

Here is an easy fancy fold card - the Double Z fancy fold card. I have used the Desert Details Dies (#160531) for the fancy frames on the front of the card. This was very hard to photograph so looks so much better in real life.

The base card is Tahitian Tide card (#159262). I cut the piece of A4 card in half (10.5cm) and used the full length of the card. This was scored on the long side at 7.5cm & 14.9cm. Another piece of Tahitian Tide card was cut at 8cm x 26cm. This was scored at 11cm & 18.5cm.

The DSP is from the Dry Brushed Metallic 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#160837). The piece attached to the left side of the card is 9.5cm x 6.5cm. The piece on the right side is 14cm x 9.5cm. The 2 pieces of Basic White card (#159228) are 7cm x 7.5cm.

I cut the Rose Gold Specialty Paper (#159139) for the “frame” with a Desert Details Die (#160531) and another die was used to cut the Dry Brushed Metallic Paper which was attached on top of the frame. This was attached to the smaller Z fold Tahitian Tide card for the card front. This Z fold was then attached to the larger Z fold by using adhesive only on the back of the left side of the “frame” and under the right side of the Z fold to attach it to the card.

The birds from the Pretty Birds stamp set (#158845) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). Then I stamped the colour for the birds with Tahitian Tide ink (#159210). This is a Two-step stamp set, so easy to stamp the 2 images.

“Thinking Of You” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, then cut with a Tailor Made Tag Die (#155563). The sentiment and birds were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I coloured the Pearl Basic Jewels (#144219) with the Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends (#159221) and attached them to the card.

Hello lovely friends,

I think you know I love pretty cards and this one doesn’t disappoint - very easy with beautiful products. The beautiful detailed border is from the Elegant Borders Dies (#161593). There are 4 dies in this set which you can see below.

I cut the border on the Daffodil Delight card (#121680) and this was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). The DSP is from the Hello, Irresistible 

6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#161139).

The flower & leaf from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (#161140) were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I used Daffodil Delight card for the flower and Soft Sea Foam (#147012) for the leaf. The flower and all the leaves were cut with the Irresistible Blooms Dies (#161149).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) and stamped with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094). This was cut with a Potted Succulent die (#154330).

The sentiment & flower were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683) were used to attach the leaves.

Radiating Stitches Dies

Welcome again my friends,

I have just received the new Radiating Stitches Dies (#161595) which can be found in the “Online Exclusives”, and I just couldn't wait to use these beautiful dies. I have also realised that they will layer with many other of rectangular dies and I have used a die from the Scalloped Contours dies (#155560) for the Real Red card (#106578) between the 2 pieces cut with the Radiating Stitches Dies.

These are the Radiating Stitches Dies-

I used Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) for the larger die cut and Basic White card (#159228) for the smaller one. I stamped the leaves from the Cottage Rose Stamp set (#159040) onto the rectangular piece of White card with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). I also stamped the leaves and the flower with Tuxedo Black memento ink (#132708). These were coloured with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885), Real Red Stampin’ Blends (#154899) and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883). These were cut with the co-ordinating Cottage Flowers Dies (#159047).

The sentiment is from the Nested Friends stamp set (#160322) and I stamped this with Real Red ink (#147084). Another Radiating Stitches Die was used to cut the sentiment.

I layered the 3 rectangular pieces together and attached them to the Basic White base card. The flower, leaves and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add some glimmer to the flower & leaves, and the embellishments are from the Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots (#160582).

Fresh Cut Flowers

Hi everyone,

I have used the Fresh Cut Flowers stamp set (#159018) for the flowers on this card. The Fresh Cut Stems Dies (#160251) to co-ordinate with the stamp set are currently on the clearance rack at a discounted price ($24 in Australia) so a fantastic deal if you are looking for these dies. These are available while stocks last.

The floral image was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Basic White card (#159228). I used Watercolour Pencils from the Assortment 1 (#141709) and Assortment 2 (#149014). The colours are Granny Apple Green, Old Olive, Garden Green, Melon Mambo, Flirty Flamingo, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Balmy Blue & Crushed Curry. I coloured parts of the image with the pencils then blended the colour with the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897). This  spreads the colour slightly and adds glimmer at the same time.

This image was then cut with the Fresh Cut Stems dies. The finer leaves were cut with another die from Granny Apple Green card (#147014) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

For the card front I used the Loveliest Layers Decorative Masks (#160517) and spread over the Shimmery White Embossing Paste (#145645). I allowed it to dry, which doesn't take long, and re-positioned the mask to fill in the blank spaces and repeated with the Embossing Paste. Once this was dry I matted it with Basic Black card (#121688).

I wrapped the Metallic Mesh Ribbon (#153550) around the card front and attached it to the Basic White base card.

“Thank You” from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (#161140) was stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) and cut with an All That Die (#159078).

The Granny Apple Green leaves were attached to the card, then the flowers and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). A Dragonfly Trinket (#160520) was added to the sentiment using Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Legendary Ride

Hello again,

I was going to make a masculine card using the Legendary Ride Bundle (#160763), however there are many ladies who are bike riders so I guess this is for anyone who love their bikes.

The bike was cut with the Legendary Ride Dies (#160762) using Basic Black card (#121688), Silver Foil Specialty (#156457) and Pumpkin Pie card (#108601). I had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of the Silver Foil & Pumpkin Pie card making it easy to attach these smaller pieces.

The scene is from the Ready To Ride 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#160752) and matted with Pumpkin Pie card. The “maps” image is from the Vellum 12x12” Layering Designs (#157764). I attached this to the same size Basic White card (#159228), then matted it with Pumpkin Pie card and attached this to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment from the Legendary Ride stamp set (#160754) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132707) and cut with a Stitched Rectangles die (#151820).

The bike and sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

TIP: When applying adhesive to vellum always avoid areas that can be seen as you will be able to see the adhesive through the vellum.

The Queen Bee Bundle (#160485) consists of the Queen Bee stamp set (#160476) and the Queen Bee dies (#160484) which is were you will find most of the images on this card.

I stamped the floral images with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Basic White card (#159228). I coloured them with Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends (#154884), Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883), Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends (#155521) and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885). These were cut with the Queen Bee dies.

The bird is from the Nested Friends stamp set (#160322), stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052) and cut with a Nested Friends Die (#160488).

The sentiment from the Queen Bee stamp set was also stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink and cut with a Queen Bee die. The flowers were cut with the Queen Bee dies from Flirty Flamingo card & Gold Fine Shimmer Paper (#160428). The gold Shimmer Paper was also used for the leaves from the same die set. This was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

I cut the green from the Fine Shimmer Paper and the Flirty Flamingo card with the Deckled Rectangles dies (#159173). The green Fine Shimmer Paper was dry embossed with one of the Basics Embossing Folders (#161598).

I attached one stamped floral image to the card front with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the other with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I added the Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) under the sentiment which was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The flowers and bird were all attached with Mini Glue Dots then I added the (now retired) Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls.

Hello, Irresistible

Hello my friends,

I have had a very busy few weeks and my craft table & room needed a huge clean up, so did that today in between appointments which took up most of my day. During my clean up I found a heap of bits & pieces which I have stamped & cut over the weeks but haven’t used, so this card is made with some of these pieces I found. Just what I needed when I had very little time to make a card.

I cut the White Textured Shimmer Paper (#160838) with a die from the Irresistible Blooms Dies (#161149). This was attached to the Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper (#161139), then matted with Flirty Flamingo card (#141421). 

“With Sympathy” is from the retired stamp set Special Moments. This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). A die from the Meadow Dies (#155852) was used to cut the sentiment. I threaded the ribbon through the label and wrapped it around the card front and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (#161140) was stamped with VersaMark and embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) on Flirty Flamingo card. The flower & leaves were cut with the Irresistible Blooms dies. I used the Gold Fine Shimmer Paper (#160428) for they leaves and these were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The flower & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls (#160449) were added to finish the card.

Now it’s back to more cleaning up but would prefer to be making cards.

Friends Are Like Seashells

Hello friends,

I decided I should use some products which I seem to have neglected lately with all the new things available. So I have used the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set (#158204) and the Seaside Seashells Dies (#156095) on this card today.

The shells have been stamped with Highland Heather ink (#147103), Orchid Oasis ink (#159214), Fresh Freesia ink (#155611) and Balmy Blue ink (#147105). The star fish are stamped with Pale Papaya ink (#155670).

The shells, starfish & seaweed are all cut with the Seaside Seashells dies. I used Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) for the seaweed. After cutting the shells and seaweed I dry embossed with the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder (#154309).

I also embossed a piece of Basic White card (#159228) with the Embossing Folder, then attached the piece of Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper (#160413) to this and attached it to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped with Orchid Oasis ink and cut with a Meadow Die (#155852).

The seaweed, a star fish & the Fresh Freesia shell were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the other shells, star fish & sentiment.

The retired Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels were added to finish the card. I added shimmer to all the stamped images with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

Brilliant Wings

Hello again,

I seem to be making so many cards lately with flowers so decided it was time to get the butterflies out as I haven’t used them for a while ( and I do love butterflies). This butterfly is from the Brilliant Wings Dies (#155523).

The green paper is from the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack (#160428) and I dry embossed this with one of the Basics Embossing Folders (#161598). There are 3 different folders in this pack. I then matted this with the Calypso Coral Card (#124392) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228).

I cut 3 strips of DSP is from the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper (#160413) and attached them to the card front. The sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Calypso Coral ink (#147101), then cut with a die from the Stitched Rectangles (#151820). I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the sentiment to the card.

The butterflies were cut from the Gold from the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack and Calypso Coral card. The two butterflies were attached together with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) then the butterfly was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A Brushed Brass Butterfly (#158136) was attached to the sentiment and the Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots (#160582) were attached to the centre of the butterfly.

Hi again crafty friends,

I have used the new Naturally Gilded 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#161639) for the background. This pack consists of 3 designs in silver, gold & copper and are part of the new Online Exclusives products.

I matted this DSP with Basic Black card (#121688) and Tahitian Tide card (#159262) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The cage & bird are from the Pretty Birds stamp set (#158845) and stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I coloured the bird with Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends (#159221) and the cage with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883). I also used Daffodil Delight for the beak and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#154882) above the beak and the feet.

The sentiment from Happiness Abounds stamp set (#159238) was stamped with Tahitian Tide ink (#159210) and this was cut with a Stylish Shapes Die (#159183).

The sentiment, cage & bird were all attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).
