Sympathy card

Hello friends,

Unfortunately I need 2 Sympathy cards this week, so here is one that I have made using the beautiful Brushed Gold Cards & Envelopes (#162177).

The detailed circle is cut with a die from the Irresistible Blooms dies (#161149) from Gold Foil (#132622) and the outside was cut with a retired circle die. I attached this to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The flowers from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (#161140) were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555). As usual this was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment from the Seaside Bay stamp set (#160436) was also gold embossed.

The flowers and leaves were cut with the Irresistible blooms dies. A Meadow die (#155852) was used to cut the sentiment. I used Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) for the leaves.

The flower at the back was attached with Mini Glue Dots and the other 2 flowers and sentiment with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) were added to finish the card.

Darling Details Bundle

Hello friends,

I have used the Darling Details Bundle (#161371) for this birthday card. The bundle includes the Darling Details stamp set (#161368) and the Darling Details dies (#161371).

I used the smaller frame from the dies and cut a scrap piece of paper. I then used this as a mask to add the Lemon Lime Twist ink (#147145) to the Basic White card (#159228). I used a Blending Brush (#153611) to add the ink. I then used the larger frame to cut the card which cuts the outside frame and the middle of the card. I glued the outside frame to the Poppy Parade card (#121694) using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). The inside piece of card was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The flowers were stamped with Poppy Parade ink (#147050). This is a Two-step stamp set, so I stamped the outline first then with the 2nd image for the background of the flower, I stamped off before stamping, again using Poppy Parade ink.

These flowers and the flowers from the Afternoon Azure card (#161728) were cut with dies also from the Darling Details dies. The Azure Afernoon card was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) making these detailed flowers easy to adhere to the card. The stamped flowers were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Darling Details stamp set and stamped with Poppy Parade ink. A die from the Meadow dies (#155852) was used to cut the sentiment. The embellishments are from the Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs (#161954).

Magical Meadow Bundle

Hi again,

Here is another Christmas card which was included in my full day Christmas card classes and using the Magical Meadow Bundle (#162144)

I stamped the leaves with Garden Green ink (#147089) and the berries with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083). These images are from the Magical Meadow stamp set (#162134). These stamped images as well as the other die cut leaves are all cut with the Magical Meadows dies (#162143). I used Daffodil Delight card (#121680), Garden Green card (#108605) and Pecan Pie card (#161726) for the die cut leaves.

I cut the circle of dots on the Basic White card front (#159228) with a Labels Aglow die (#159551). The corners of this and the Crushed Curry card (#131288) were punched with the Very Best Trio punch (#159878) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The Daffodil Delight card and Pecan Pie card were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) making them easy to attach to the card. I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) for the Green leaves and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) for the stamped images. The sentiment from the Merriest Trees stamp set (#162043) was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink, then cut with a die from Labels Aglow.

I used the Real Red from the Pearlized Enamel Effects (#156310) for the small berries on the stamped green leaf. This does take some time to dry so best to do this last and put the card aside to allow it to dry.

Light The Sky Bundle

Hello stamping friends,

The Light The Sky Bundle (#162296) is a great set for any celebration with the fireworks stamps and dies.

I stamped the 3 fireworks from the Light The Sky stamp set (#162289) with VersaMark and used Silver & Gold Embossing Powder (#155555) and White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) which were set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I stamped these on the Stargazing Designer Series Paper (#161175). I then used a die from the Light The Sky dies (#162295) for the fireworks under the sentiment. The DSP was attached to the Gold Foil (#132622), then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

“Let’s Celebrate is also from the Light The Sky stamp set and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss powder. This was cut with a Something Fancy die (#160424) and this was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Another easy card after a very busy few weeks.

Joy Of Noel bundle

Hi again my friends,

Another Christmas card today using Joy Of Noel Bundle (#161967). I have now finished all my full day Christmas card classes and this is one of the cards that we made.

I stamped the leaves and berries from the Joy Of Noel stamp set (#161959) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends used to colour these are Shaded Spruce (#154903), Lost Lagoon (#161680), Crumb Cake (#154882) and Real Red (#154899). These were cut with the Joy Of Noel dies (#161965).

I used a Labels Aglow die (#159551) to cut the dots in the Very Vanilla card front (#106550). This card was matted with Shaded Spruce card (#147006). I wrapped the ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack (#160386) around the card front, then attached this to the Very Vanilla base card.

The leaves were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and the berries with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I stamped the sentiment from the Joy To You stamp set (#162090) with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088). I didn't want to include “and yours” which is part of the sentiment but when I used the die I was able to remove it. The die is from the Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183). This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are from the  Faceted Gems Trio Pack (#162148).

Joy Of Noel dies

Hello friends,

The Joy Of Noel dies (#161965) and the Christmas Classics dies (#161976) work well together as used on todays card.

“Noel” was cut from Rose Gold Specialty Paper (#159139) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). This die is from the Joy Of Noel dies. The dies from the Christmas Classics dies were used to cut the Pretty Peacock (#150886) square and the detailed die cut from the Oxidised Copper Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162190).

I dry embossed the Pretty Peacock card front with the Distressed Tiles Embossing Folder (#162189). I wrapped the 2 ribbons from the Copper & Natural Ribbon Combo pack (#162192) around the card front and attached this to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550). I daubered around the Very Vanilla square with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) then this was attached to the card and the die cut pieces were layered on top. The Pretty Peacock card was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

An easy card and no stamping!!

Handcrafted Elements dies

Hello again stamping friends,

An easy Christmas card using a die from the Handcrafted Elements dies (#162330) for this beautiful bauble.

I used the green foil from the Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green Foil Sheets (#161953) and the Gold Foil (#132622) for the bauble. I attached these together with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The Gold from the Joyful Specialty Designer Series Paper (#161980) was matted with Real Red card (#106578). I cut the Real Red card “window” with a die from the Garden Meadow dies (#162740). These dies will be available in November in the Online Exclusives. The “window” was attached to the card, then I attached the bauble with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I threaded the gold ribbon from the Silver & Gold 1/8” Trim Combo (#161633) through the circle at the top of the bauble, wrapped it over the top of the card front and attached it at the back.

The sentiment from the Merriest Trees stamp set (#162043) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) and cut with a Christmas Classics dies (#161976). The edges were daubered with Real Red ink then the sentiment was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The embellishments are the retired Garden Gems but are perfect for this card with the red/green colours.

Stepper card

Hello friends,

I do love fancy fold cards so today I have made a stepper card which is an easy one to make. This does fold flat for posting but I will have to make an envelope to fit. Thought this card would be great for all ages and I will be making more with different stamp sets.

The Basic White base card (#159228) is 28cm x 15.2cm (11” x 6”) and this was scored along the long side at 7.6cm, 15.2cm, 19cm, 22.8 & 25.4cm (3”, 6”, 7&1/2”, 9” & 10”).  I cut 3 pieces of Basic White card -14.5 x 7cm, 14.5 x 3.2cm & 14.5 x 2cm (5&3/4” x 2&3/4”, 5&3/4” x 1&1/4” & 5&3/4” x 3/4”)

The 3 pieces of Blueberry Bushel card (#146991) are 10.5cm square (4&1/8” square), 8cm square (3&1/8” square) and 6cm square (2&3/8” square).

The Glorious Gingham Designer Series Paper (#163170) is 9.8cm square (3&7/8” square), 7.3cm square (2&7/8” square). The Basic White card is 5.5cm square (2&1/8” square).

I dry embossed the Basic White pieces of card with one of the Basics Embossing Folders (#161598). The edges of these were daubered with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138) then attached to the card.

The balloons from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set (#161450) were stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink (#159216), Lemon Lime Twist ink (#147145) and Daffodil Delight ink (#147094). These were cut with the co-ordinating Beautiful Balloons dies (#161456).

I taped the diamond shapes to the card, then attached the balloons with Mini Glue Dots (#152334). Happy Birthday was cut with dies from Wanted To Say dies (#161594). The Basic White card for the sentiment was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) and the Blueberry Bushel card was attached with Mini Glue Dots.

Christmas Decoration

Hello again,

I have had a very busy few weeks. Each year around this time I do several full day classes making Christmas cards. Today I have a Christmas decoration which I made for each of the ladies using the Stars At Night Bundle (#162007). This is my variation on the decoration shown in the catalogue.

I stamped 3 of the large stars from the Stars At Night stamp set (#162000) with Azure Afternoon ink (#161663) on Basic White card (#159228). These were then cut with the co-ordinating die from the Stars At Night dies which are part of the Stars At Night Hybrid Embossing Folder (#162006). I scored the stars down the middle, then glued them using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

The Azure Afternoon card (#161728) and the Vellum Basics Specialty Designer Series Paper (#160839) were cut with the Deckled Circles dies (#162286). I glued the star to the circle. The Silver Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was used to hang the decoration.

The baskets & boots were cut with the Garden Meadow dies and the sentiment with a Cracker & Treat Box die (#159182). The boots, sentiment and front basket were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).
