Cheerful Daisies

Hello friends,

I haven’t used the Cheerful Daisies stamp set (#161290) for a while so thought it was time to do so.

I stamped the outline of the daisies with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094). As this set is a 2 step stamping set, I stamped the inside with Lemon Lolly ink (#161666). I used Crumb Cake ink (#147116) to stamp the centre of the flowers. The flowers and the leaves were cut with the Cheerful Daisies dies (#161296). I used Granny Apple Green card (#147014) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) for the leaves.

I attached a piece of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393) to the Daffodil Delight card (#121680). I cut a piece of Basic White card (#159228) and Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) with a die from the Around the Bend dies (#160649) to create the curve. I dry embossed the Basic White card with one of the Basics Embossing Folders (#161598). These were attached to the Daffodil Delight card.

The sentiment is also from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set, stamped with Daffodil Delight ink and cut with a Cheerful Daisies die.

The daisies and sentiment were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used on the flowers for some glimmer. The Opal Rounds Assortment (#163298) were added to the card. I used small dots of the Pearlised Enamel Effects (#156310) in the centre of the daisies.

Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack

Hello friends,

The Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack (#163762) contains a range of die-cut flowers & leaves, which can be used for a quick & easy card or jazzed up with something extra. The floral image I used here was in black & white so I coloured it with Stampin’ Blends.

The flowers were coloured with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675). I used Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends (#154902) and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894) for the leaves. I used Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) on the “twigs”. I add the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) for the sparkle on the flowers & leaves.

The background was cut with a Citrus Blooms die 163294) using Pretty In Pink from the 2024-2026 In Color 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#163777) and Pretty In Pink card (#163794). I cut the Pretty In Pink card in half diagonally and attached it to the DSP for an offset matt. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The floral image was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I cut the leaves from the Citrus Blooms dies using the white paper from the Berry Burst, Old Olive & White Glimmer Paper (#163769). These were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Let’s Celebrate” from the Sentimental Park stamp set (#160561) was stamped with Pretty In Pink ink (#163807), then cut with a Something Fancy die (#160424). The pretty Iridescent Faceted Gems (#163368) were added for a bit more sparkle.

Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper

Welcome,

I have used the Flowers & Frames 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#163765) for the leaves on this card. This pack includes full sheets of patterned DSP, card fronts and die-cut designs. The leaves are from the die-cuts.

I also die cut 2 leaves using the Delicate Forest dies (#162679) and Flirty Flamingo card (#141421) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

For the card front I attached a piece of the vellum from the Graceful Greenery Vellum 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164118) to the same size Soft Sea Foam card (#147012), then matted it with the Flirty Flamingo card. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set (#161277) was stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088). The sentiment and Shaded Spruce card (#147006) for the circle were cut with Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183). The leaves in the background were taped to the card. The sentiment and the other 3 leaves were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The card was finished by adding the Iridescent Foil Gems (#162842).

Paper Weaving

Hello & welcome,

Today’s inspiration was from page 110 in the Annual Catalogue using the paper weaving technique. It’s an easy but effective technique.

I made cuts in the Basic White card front (#159228) 1cm apart and 1cm from the top & bottom of the card. I cut 1cm pieces from the 3 colours from the Textured Metallic 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#163772). These strips were woven through the card front, then this was matted with the Basic Black card (#121688). The base card is Basic White.

I cut the leaf with the Flowers Of Beauty dies (#163375) from the white patterned vellum from the Graceful Greenery Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164118). I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach this to the card.

The sentiment is from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Copper from the Metallic Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678) and this was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). A Greetings Of The Season Die (#164112) was used to cut the sentiment. The sentiment was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The small flowers were cut with a die from the Flowers Of Beauty dies also using the Textured Metallic Paper and attached them to the card with Mini Glue Dots. The retired Festive Pearls were added to the centre of the flowers.

I then dry embossed this card with the So Swirly Embossing Folder (#163791). The DSP from the Frames & Flowers 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#163765) was attached to the card front. This was then matted with Pretty Peacock card (#150886) and attached to the Basic White base card.

I cut another piece of Pretty Peacock card with a die from the Greetings Of The Season dies (#164112) for the banner. “Happy Birthday” from the Magnolia Mood stamp set (#163502) was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink and cut with a Delicate Forest die (#162679).

Thoughtful Journey Memories & More Card Pack

Welcome my friends,

The cards from the Thoughtful Journey Memories & More Card Pack (#163318) are great for both cards & scrapbooking. I have used one of the designs from the smaller cards for this card. There are 2 sizes of cards in the pack.

I cut the “window” from the Basic White card front (#159228) with a die from the Greetings Of The Season dies (#164112). The piece I cut out will be used for another card. This was then dry embossed with one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders (#161598).

The memories & more card was attached to the back of the card front, then matted with Mossy Meadow card (#133683) and attached to the Basic White base card.

I stamped the floral images from the Garden Meadow stamp set (#162736) with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). I coloured these with Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends (#154887) and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends (#154892). These were cut with a Garden Meadow die (#162740) and attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Inspirational Sketches stamp set

Hello friends,

These birds are from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set (#162684).

The birds were stamped with Poppy Parade ink (#147050), Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) and Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138). They were then fussy cut.

I stamped Basic White card front (#159228) with the “scribbly” image from the same stamp set, using Basic Beige ink (#163806), then dry embossed it with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406). I matted the card front with Blueberry Bushel card (#146991) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

The Wild Ferns dies (#162654) were used to cut the leaves from the Old Olive card (#106576). I attached the leaves at the bottom of the card using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

The red & yellow birds and the strip of Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393) were taped to the card. The blue bird was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108), then I added the extra leaves.

“Thank You” from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) was stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink and cut with a Changing Leaves die (#164138). This was also attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The embellishments are from the Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots (#164204).

Simple Scrapbooking

Hello everyone,

I have made a simple scrapbook double page layout today. I prefer that my scrapbook pages are all about the photos and the story, not the embellishments.

The background and the strips of blue are from the Winter Meadow 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#162133). I stamped some clouds from the Adventurous Sky Stamp set (#163439) onto the background with Smoky Slate ink (#147113). The planes from the same set were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added Silver from the Metallic Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678), then this was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The planes were cut with the Adventurous Sky Dies (#163446) and taped to the page.

On yesterday’s card I did what I call the shadow effect, so decided to do the same on the photos on these pages. I cut the Real Red card (#106578) the same size as the photos then offset them on 2 sides. These were taped to the pages.

I adhered Adhesive Sheets (#152334) to the back of Real Red card, before cutting with the Mini Alphabet dies (#162934) for the titles. This makes it easy to adhere the letters to the page.

Iconic Celebrations Designer Series Paper

Hi & welcome again,

I have used the Iconic Celebrations 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164193) on today’s card. It would also be a great way to use any scraps, and we all have plenty of those.

I cut each of the squares from the DSP, the sentiment and the Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) with a die from the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183). I attached the DSP to the Cherry Cobbler card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108), offsetting them to give a shadow effect.

The sentiment is from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) and stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083).

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders (#161598). The edges were daubered with Cherry Cobbler ink, then attached to the Basic White base card.

All the squares were taped to the card. An easy card, but the hardest was probably getting all the squares straight.

Greetings Of The Season Dies

Hello friends,

The Greetings Of The Season Dies (#164112) has a variety of shapes & sizes so will be very versatile. I have used 3 of the dies for this card.

I used the dies to cut the sentiment, the strip under the sentiment and the large “label” cut out.

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the Cute Crochet 3D Embossing Folder (#163792). I added the strip of Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper (#163372) to the card front. The edges were daubered with Petunia Pop ink (#163811), then attached to the Basic White base card.

The large die cut “label” was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I threaded the Gold trim from the Gold & Silver 1/8” Trim Combo Pack (#161633) through the hole of the label. The sentiment from So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Petunia Pop ink. The Petunia Pop card (#163802) and the sentiment were cut with the dies and attached to the card.

The floral image from Thoughtful Wishes stamp set (#162815) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I used Stampin’ Blends to colour this - Petunia Pop (#163828), Summer Splash (#163826), Shy Shamrock (#163825) and Peach Pie (#163827). I cut this with the now retired Thoughtful Expressions dies.

The Iridescent Faceted Gems (#163368) were added to finish the card.

Labelled With Love Dies

Hi Stamping friends,

I have used the Labelled with Love dies (#163570) for the cutouts on the card front.

After cutting the Soft Sea Foam card front (#147012) with the dies, I dry embossed it with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406). This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to a piece of the Season Of Green & Gold 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164324). I matted this with Gold Foil Sheets (#132622) and attached it to the Very Vanilla card base (#106550).

The flower is from the Spotlight On Nature stamp set (#163579). I stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I fussy cut the floral image.

The sentiment was also Gold heat embossed. I used a die from the Greetings Of The Season die (#164112). The floral image and sentiment were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I threaded the Gold from the Gold & Silver 1/8” Trim Combo Pack (#161633) through the label for the sentiment. The Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) were added to the card.
