Daffodil Daydream

Hello again everyone,

Today I have been sorting out what products are retiring tomorrow and getting ready for some more great products in the next Annual catalogue. So I thought I would use some more retiring products again today. I am using the Daffodil Daydream stamp set (#157786).





I stamped the 2 different daffodil images with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). These were coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Daffodil Delight (#154883), Soft Sea Foam (#154902) and Soft Succulent (#155521). The co-ordinating Daffodil Dies (#157794) were used to cut these. I then cut the Soft Succulent from the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack (#160428), backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), with a Forever Flourishing Die (#152714).

I dry embossed the Basic White card front with one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders (#161598), then I daubered the edges with Daffodil Delight ink (#154883). This was attached to the Daffodil Delight card (#121680) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The smaller daffodil image was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) then the shimmery leaves were added. The other daffodils were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Thinking Of You” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Daffodil Delight ink then cut with a Stylish Shapes Die (#159183) the Gold trim is from the Simply Elegant Trim (#155766). The sentiment was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensioanals (#144108).

I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the daffodils and added the cute little Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) to finish the card.

The Daffodil Daydream stamp set, Daffodil dies, Forever Flourishing Dies Fine Shimmer Paper Pack and the Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends are retiring.

Timeless Arrangements

Hello my friends,

Today I have finally had time to play with some new products in the new catalogue which will be available from 2nd May. I have used the Timeless Arrangements Bundle (#161526).





I stamped the circles from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set (#161521) onto the Very Vanilla card (106550) using VersaMark (#102283). I added Heat & Stick powder (#156110) and heated this with the Heat Tool (#129056). This becomes sticky which allows you to adhere the Gold Gilded Leafing (#154560). Press the leafing onto the card then  brush off the excess leafing. I then dry embossed this card with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (#156505). The corner was punched with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878) and attached to the Lost Lagoon card (#133686).

The Gold Ribbon from the Gold & Silver Trim Combo Pack (#161633) was wrapped around the card, then the card front was attached to the Very Vanilla Base card. 

“Happy Birthday” is from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763). This was stamped with VersaMark & I used Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) which was set with the Heat Tool. 

The Timeless Arrangements dies (#161525) were used to cut the leaves from the Lost Lagoon card and the Pretty Peacock card (#150886) which were both backed with Adhesive sheet (#152334). These were attached to the card front then the sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels (#158987) were added to the card.

There are no retiring products used on this card.

Blessings Of Home

Hello stamping friends,

The Blessings Of Home Bundle (#157939) which consists of the Blessings Of Home stamp set (#157930) and the Flowers Of Home Dies (#157938) is another of the retiring products.




I stamped the floral image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Basic White card (#159228).

The Old Olive was used on the larger leaves but I wasn’t happy with the colour against the other colours so I recoloured them with Soft Succulent and I liked the result.

Ther card front was dry embossed with one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders (#161598) and the edges were daubered with Highland Heather ink (#147103) then attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment is also from the Blessings Of Home stamp set and stamped with Highland Heather ink. A Sending Die (#159271) was used to cut the sentiment and this was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are the Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems (#160412).

Butterfly Brilliance

Hello stampin’ friends,

I love butterflies so a little disappointed that the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set (#155092) and co-ordinating Brilliant Wings dies (#155523) are retiring.




Firstly I added colour to a piece of Basic White card (#159228) using Blending Brushes (#153611) with Pale Papaya ink (#155670), Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052), Tahitian Tide ink (#159210) and Highland Heather ink (#147103). I then stamped the butterflies with VersaMark (#102283) and used the White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The butterflies were cut with a Brilliant Wings die. There are 6 butterflies so will use the others for another project.





I dry embossed the Flirty Flamingo card (#141421) with the Gingham Embossing Folder (#157627) and attached this to the Basic White base card. I used a die from the Irresistible Blooms (#161149) to cut the Silver Foil Specialty Paper (#156457). This was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) so it makes it easy to attach it to the card front.

“Thinking Of You” is from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) and I stamped this with Flirty Flamingo ink. A die from the Pretty Pillowbox dies (#156321) was used to cut the sentiment. 

The butterflies and sentiment were all attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls (#160449) were added to the centre of the butterflies.

The retiring products are the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set, Brilliant Wings dies, Gingham Embossing Folder & Pretty Pillowbox dies.

I have used 2 different packs of Designer Series Paper on todays card. The flower was fussy cut from the Abigail Rose DSP (#159037) and the other 2 designs are from the Tea Bouquet DSP (#158659).




I coloured the floral image with the following Stampin’ Blends - Fresh Freesia (#155518), Highland Heather (#154887), Polished Pink (#155520), Granny Apple Green (#154885), Parakeet Party (#159220), Daffodil Delight (#154883) and Blackberry Bliss (#154877).

I attached a smaller piece of the Granny Apple Green DSP  to the Fresh Freesia DSP. I punched the corner with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878).

“Congratulations” is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) and stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099). This was cut with a die from the Labels Aglow (#159551). This die was a bit longer than I wanted so I cut the sentiment with the words closer to on end of the die, then repositioned the die and cut a piece from the other end. I threaded the Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) through the holes and wrapped this around the card front, then attached the card front to the Basic White base card (#159228).

 The sentiment and floral image were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#158130). Of course I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the flowers for that bit of shimmer.

The retiring products used here are Abigail Rose DSP, Tea Boutique DSP, Peaceful Moments stamp set & Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends. The Fresh Freesia was due to retire but is being brought back with the colour revamp.

Designer Tags dies

Hi stamping friends,

The Designer Tags Dies (#159165) have been used today on this card. This is another of the retiring products from the Annual catalogue.




These dies were used to cut the floral image on the Basic White card (#159228), the 2 labels and the butterfly. I cut the floral image again with Pear Pizzaz card (#131290) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). I attached the Basic White card front to the Merry Merlot card (#147005). Then I added the pieces of the leaves into the corresponding cut outs.

The sentiment from the Peaceful Moment stamp set (#151595) was stamped with Merry Merlot ink (#147112). I used the Brushed Metallic Card stock (#153524) for the detailed die cut label and butterfly. The labels were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the butterfly with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). 

The Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) were added to the card. The Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was threaded through the labels.

The retiring products are the Designer Tags Dies, Peaceful Moments stamp set, Merry Merlot card & ink & Pear Pizzaz card.

Hand-Penned Petals stamp set

Hello & welcome,

Today I am using the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set (#155070) and the co-ordinating Penned Flowers dies (#155557). These are retiring and are available at a discounted price while stocks last. You will find a link to all the retiring products below.





I stamped the floral image from this stamp set with VersaMark (#102283) onto a piece of the Delicate Desert Designer Series Paper (#160521). I sprinkled this with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I stamped this image again on Basic White card (#159228) and this time used Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555).

I used the dies from the Penned Flowers dies to cut this gold embossed image, the Pale Papaya card (#155669) for the detailed die cut & 1 flower, and the Calypso Coral card (#124392) for the other 2 flowers.

The detailed die cut piece & flowers were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The Gold embossed image was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) and stamped with Calypso Coral ink (#147101). I am so pleased to see this stamp set is carrying over to the next catalogue. This certainly is my “go to greeting” set. I used a Meadow Die (#155852) to cut the sentiment. The Gold Ribbon from the Gold & Silver Trim Combo Pack (#161633) was wrapped around the card front then this was attached to the Basic White card base.

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used on the 3 die cut flowers to add some shimmer. The Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls (#160449) were added to the card.

These were all cut with the Teacup dies.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Gingham Embossing Folder (#157627) and matted with Sweet Sorbet card (#159266) then attached to the Basic White base card.

I used the Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper (#158659) for the strip on the left side of the card and the rectangular piece under the teacup.

“Thank You” is from the same stamp set and stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink (#159216). This was cut with a Pretty Pillowbox Die (#156321).
