Regal Flora Bundle

Hello everyone,

Recently (see post on 20th October) I made a Christmas card basically the same as this card. I changed the flowers & sentiment and here we have a beautiful Birthday card. The original card was horizontal so made this vertical.

I cut the Basic White card (#159228) with a die from the Elegant Borders (#161593), then dry embossed it with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder (#163414). I attached a piece of the Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164037) to Mossy Meadow card (#133683), then the white card was attached.

The flowers & leaves are from the Regals Flora stamp set (#164157). The flowers are stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083) and the leaves with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111) and Old Olive ink (#147090). The Regal Flora Dies (#164033) cut the flowers & leaves.

“Happy Birthday” from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Old Olive ink. A Delicate Forest die (#162679) was used to cut this.

The flowers & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the leaves on the left of the card and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) for the other leaves.

Shepherd’s Care stamp set

Hi friends,

A very easy Christmas card using the Shepherd’s Care stamp set (#164300).

I stamped the image with Balmy Blue ink (#147105) onto Very Vanilla card (#106550). I used the Deckled Rectangles dies (#159173) to cut the stamped image and the Balmy Blue card (#147007). The Balmy Blue card was attached to the Season Of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164324). This was taped to the Very Vanilla base card.

“Love & Joy” from the Greetings Of The Season stamp set (#164325) was also stamped with Balmy Blue ink. This was cut with a Deckled Circles die (#162286).

I added the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the stamped image for a touch of glimmer.

Labelled With Love Dies

Hello & welcome,

The Labelled With Love dies (#163570) has a set of 3 dies exactly the same, making it easy to cut multiple pieces. If you prefer a punch, the Labelled With Love punch (#163569) is exactly the same size & shape as the dies. It’s great to have a choice.

I used the dies to cut the Splendid Autumn 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164173). “Happy Birthday” from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and cut with a Greetings Of The Season die (#164112). The silver from the Gold & Silver Trim Combo Pack (#161633) was threaded through the hole in the sentiment.

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Modern Herringbone Embossing Folder (#164908). This folder will be available online in November. I matted this with Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

The butterfly is from the Paper Butterfly Accents (#162612). I added Gorgeous Grape ink to colour the butterfly with a Sponge Dauber (#133773). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add glimmer to the butterfly.

The die cuts, sentiment & butterfly were all attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The Riverside Irregular Pearls (#164937) were added to the body of the butterfly.

Peaceful Season bundle

Hello friends,

“Merry Christmas” is from the Peaceful Season Bundle (#164021). This bundle consists of the Peaceful Season stamp set (#164145) and the Peaceful Season dies (#164020.

I stamped “Merry” with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083) and cut it with one of the dies. “Christmas” was cut from Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) and Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) for ease of attaching to the background.

I cut a piece of Basic White card (#159228) with an Elegant Borders die (#161593), then dry embossed it with the So Swirly Embossing Folder (#163791).

I taped the piece of Regals Distressed Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164037) to a piece of Cherry Cobbler card, then attached the white piece.

I cut the leaves from the Graceful Greenery Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164118) with the co-ordinating Golden Greenery die (#164116). Another die from this set was used to cut the bells from the Season Of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164324).

Sentimental Wishes

Hello friends,

The Sentimental Wishes Bundle (#164220) consists of the Sentimental Wishes stamp set (#164210) and the Sentimental Wishes dies (#164219) and have been used for the holly leaves on these cards.

The cards are the same except I used 2 of the different patterns from the Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164037).

“Season’s Greetings” is from a retired (Merriest Moments) stamp set and I stamped this with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083) onto Basic White card (#159228). This card was matted with Cherry Cobbler Card (#121681) and taped to the Basic White base card. I attached the Cherry Cobbler & Gold DSP to the card. For the White & Gold DSP I attached a strip of Cherry Cobbler card at the top then attached it to the card.

The holly leaves were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I used 3 leaves for each card. They were cut with the co-ordinating dies. The leaves were coloured with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885) and for the berries I used the Red Pearlised Enamel Effects (#156310). These enamel effects take a while to dry so best to do after the card is put together so you can put the card aside for it to dry.

I attached the middle set of leaves with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the others with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The bow is cut with a Wanted To Say die (#161594). I used Gold Foil (#132622) and Cherry Cobbler card. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add some glimmer to the leaves & the Cherry Cobbler bow. The bows were also attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The embellishments are from the Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-Backed Berries (#164119) and Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Adhesive Backed Dots (#164204).

Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper

Hello stamping friends,

I love all the Designer Series Papers and I am sure you are like me and have plenty of “scraps” lying around. For today’s card I have used some scraps from the Thoughtful Journey 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#163303).

I taped the pieces of DSP to the Basic White card front (#159228). The edges of the card front was daubered with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092) then attached to the Basic White base card.

I stamped the image from the Everyday Details stamp set (#162861) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). This was coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Blackberry Bliss (#154877), Mossy Meadow (#154890), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Peach Pie (#163827) and Balmy Blue (#154830). I added Glimmer to the image with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

I used an Everyday Details die (#162864) to cut the stamped image and the Blackberry Bliss card (#133682). I taped these together offsetting the card to matt only 2 sides. This was then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Happy Birthday” from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756) was stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink. This was cut with a Greetings Of The Season die (#164112). As I wanted the die to cut closer to the letters, I cut close to the “H” then I repositioned the die to cut the other end close to the “Y”. I taped the sentiment to the card.

Labelled With Love

Hello and welcome again,

You have a choice when you order the Labelled With Love Bundle. You can choose either a punch or a set of 3 dies to go with the stamp set. The 3 dies are all the same so makes it easy when cutting multiple pieces.

The Labelled with Love Bundle with the dies is #163574, and with the punch is #163571.

The outline of the label from the Labelled With Love stamp set (#163564) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I have the dies so cut these with the dies.

I stamped the floral images and sentiment from the Labelled With Love stamp set using Summer Splash ink (#163809) and Pretty In Pink ink (#163807). The flowers & leaves are 2 separate stamps so with 2 Step stamping it is easy to stamp the 2 colours for the image.

I coloured the Basic White card front (#159228) using Blending Brushes (#153611) with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083), Summer Splash ink and Pool Party ink (#147107). I then stamped with the Botanical Beauty background stamp (#162903) using Summer Splash ink. This card was matted with Pretty In Pink card (#163794).

I wrapped the Pretty In Pink Bordered Ribbon (#163784) and Summer Splash Bordered Ribbon (#163786) around the card front then attached it to the Basic White base card.

The 3 die cut “labels” were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I added the Iridescent Faceted Gems (#163368) to the labels. Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the flowers & leaves.

Magnolia Mood

Hi friends,

I think Gold & Very Vanilla (or white) is great for a special card and of course the sentiment can be changed for any special occasion.

The flower from the Magnolia Mood stamp set (#163502) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). A Magnolia Mood Die (#163506) was used to cut the flower.

I dry embossed the Very Vanilla card front (#106550) with the Modern Herringbone Embossing Folder (#164908). The Season Of Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164324) was attached to the card front. I then gold embossed the edges. To do this I wiped the VersaMark pad along the edge and added the embossing powder. I found doing one edge at a time and setting it was much easier.

The sentiment from the Magnolia Mood stamp set was also gold heat embossed. A die from Peaceful Season dies (#164020) was used to cut this. I cut the sentiment twice as I wanted it a bit shorter. To do this I cut closer to the left for the first cut, then re-positioned the die to cut closer to the right. The retired ribbon was threaded through the sentiment and wrapped around the card front. I attached the sentiment and the flower with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The card front was attached to the Very Vanilla base card. The Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) were added to the card.
