These birds are stamped from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set (#164184) and cut with the co-ordinating Winterly Tree Tops die (#164065). These can also be purchased as the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle (#164066). All bundles are at a 10% discount.

I cut both the Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) and the Season Of Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164144) with a Garden Meadow die (#162740). I taped the Soft Sea Foam card to the Basic White base card. The DSP was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Thinking Of You always” is from the same stamp set and stamped with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111). A Changing Leaves die (#164138) was used to cut the sentiment.

A Little Bit Festive

Hi friends,

Another very quick & easy Christmas card, again using a die cut from the A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164107).

I added the White Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics (#156310) to the “snow” on the trees of the die cut piece. I also added some along the ground. This was put aside to dry.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (#162026), then matted with Pool Party card (#124391) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment is from the Christmas Labels Bundle (#164101) and stamped with Pool Party ink (#147107). The co-ordinating Christmas Labels die (#164100) was used to cut the sentiment.

Once the trees were dry I attached them and the sentiment to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

A Little Bit Festive

Hi again,

Today I am using the card front from the A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164107) for another quick & easy Christmas card.

The card front with the baubles and the striped paper are from this pack. I mixed some Metallic Enamel Effects Basics Gold (#161610) with Isocol in a Stampin’ Spritzer (#126185) and sprayed this on the 2 pieces of DSP. This gave a lovely light gold shimmer to the card.

I matted the card front with Real Red card (106578). I taped the striped piece to the Basic White base card (#159228) then taped the card front.

The sentiment from the Decorative Trees stamp set (#164275) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) and cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach this to the card. The embellishments are from the retired Garden Gems.

The Pretty Petals stamp set (#164866) is a 2 step stamping set. I stamped the leaves with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095), then stamped the flowers with Highland Heather ink (#147103).

The 2 pieces of DSP are from the Splendid Autumn 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164173). The smaller piece was matted with Silver Foil (#163387) then attached to the larger piece of DSP. This was then taped to the Basic White base card.

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.
