Regal Flora Bundle

Welcome my friends,

The Regal Flora Bundle (#164034) probably isn't designed for Christmas cards but I thought I would use it for this no-traditional Christmas card but using traditional Christmas colours.

I stamped the flowers from the Regal Flora stamp set (#164157) with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083). The leaves were stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083), then flowers and leaves were cut with the Regal Flora dies (#164033). This stamp set & dies are included in the Regal Flora Bundle.

“Love & Joy” is from the Christmas Labels stamp set (#164296). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment was cut with one of the Christmas Labels dies (#164100). This stamp set & dies are part of the Christmas Labels Bundle (#164101).

I matted the Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty Paper (#164037) with the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The sentiment was taped to the card front. I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the leaves & the flowers on the right. The other flowers were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The gold embellishments are from a retired pack.

Nests Of Winter Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

The Nests Of Winter Designer Series Paper (#164183) is where you will find these birds. There is a co-ordinating die in the Winterly Tree Tops dies (#164065) which I used to cut them.

I cut the detailed leafy frame with dies from the Citrus Blooms dies (#163294) using Garden Green card (#108605) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). I also cut the Nests Of Winter Designer Series Paper for the background with the die and attached the leaves to it. This was then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The sentiment from the Christmas Labels stamp set (#164296) was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083). A Christmas Labels dies (#164100) was used to cut the sentiment.

The birds & sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the birds.

“Happy Birthday” from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) was also stamped with VersaMark onto Highland Heather card (#147010). The White powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679) was added and heat set.

These 2 cards and the 2 designs from the Perennial Lavender Designer Seres Paper (#162593) were cut with the Spotlight On Nature dies.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Dashing Designs Embossing Folder (#163483), then matted with Gorgeous Grape card. This was attached to the Basic White base card.

Diagonal Joy Fold card

Hi stamping friends,

I love a fancy fold card and today I have made the Diagonal Joy Fold card, which is a fairly easy one.

I used the normal sized base card and I used the Basic White Thick card stock (#159230). I cut the diagonal on the front from the score line at the top left to the bottom right corner. I attached a piece of the Season Of Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164144) to the front triangle. For the triangle DSP I cut a rectangle 9.7cm x 13.9cm then cut it diagonally in half. I only needed one piece for the card. This was taped to the card front.

I matted the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393) with Pretty Peacock card (#150886) and attached this to the inside of the card.

I cut another piece of Pretty Peacock card 8cm x 23cm and scored at 11.5cm. The Basic White card was taped to the inside.

I stamped the leaves from the Changing Leaves stamp set (#164351) with VersaMark (#102283) and added Gold Metallic Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

I used the Changing Leaves dies which are included with the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder (#164138) to cut the leaves from the Gold Foil Sheets (#132622). I had this backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) then attached them to the Woven Golden Leaves (#164059). I attached these leaves to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). This white card was attached to the front of the “flap”.

The sentiment from the Everyday Details stamp set (#162861) was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) and cut with a die from Changing Leaves. Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the sentiment.

When attaching the “flap” to the card ensure that it is positioned so the card front can close correctly.

The leaves and hearts are cut with the Adoring Hearts dies (#162569). I used Granny Apple Green card (#147014) for the leaves and Highland Heather (#147010) & Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) for the hearts. These cards were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) making these small pieces easy to attach to the card.

Changing Leaves

Welcome again,

Two-Tone Cardstock

Hi again my friends,

Today I want to show you the new Two-tone Cardstock which is now available from Stampin’ Up! I have used the Mossy Meadow from the Autumn To Remember 12”x12” Two-Tone Cardstock (#166499). There are a variety of colours available and over the coming months all Stampin’ Up! Colours will be available. There are some packs with single colours and other packs with a variety of colours.

This Two-tone cardstock means that one side is the full strength colour and the other side is a lighter version of the colour. It also has a white core.

I dry embossed the Mossy Meadow Two-tone card with the Changing Leaves Embossing Folder (#164138). Then I gently sanded the card which removes some of the colour and reveals the white on the embossed areas. I also tore a piece of the card and used the lighter reverse side and attached it to the bottom of the card. I matted this card front with Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) and attached it to the Basic White card (#159228).

I fussy cut a bird from the Nests Of Winter 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#164183). I cut the other bird with a Deckled Circles die (#162286), as well as the Cherry Cobbler circle & the sentiment.

“Happy Birthday” from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083). The fussy cut bird and the circle with the bird were both attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The embellishments are from the Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots (#164204). I added some glimmer to the birds with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

Nests Of Winter Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

The Nests Of Winter 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#164183) has a beautiful range of images, including these two used on today’s card.

One sheet of DSP allows you to cut 6 card fronts all with slightly different images. This was used for the card front. I then cut a bird from another sheet using a Deckled Circles die (#162286). The Copper Clay card (#161730) was cut with the next size die. This was attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The DSP was matted with Copper Clay card and attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

“Happy Birthday” from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) was stamped with Copper Clay ink (#161647). A die from the Greetings Of The Season (#164112) was used to cut the sentiment. This die has a hole at one end to allow you to thread ribbon through it. However I didn't want the hole, so I partly cut with the die from the end without the hole, turned the die around and re-cut the other end.

A quick and easy card using Designer Series Paper.

Trucking Along

Hello friends,

A masculine card today using the Trucking Along stamp set (#162299).

I stamped the blue for the truck with Night Of Navy ink (#147110) using the stamping off method. To do this, ink your stamp, stamp it on scrap paper then stamp onto your card. This gives a lighter image. I then stamped the outline image of the truck with VersaMark (#102283) and sprinkled it with Silver from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The Trucking Along Builder Punch (#162305) was used to punch the truck.

I cut the Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) and the Silver Foil Sheet (#163387) with Nested Essentials dies (#161597). The sentiment is from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) and was stamped with Night Of Navy ink. This was also cut with a Nested Essentials die.

The card front is from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393). I stamped the timber grain from the Textured Timber Stamp set (#163656) with VersaMark & Silver embossing powder onto the left side of the DSP. The card front was matted with Cherry Cobbler card and attached to the Basic White base card.

The truck was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).
