Sentimental Framing dies

Hello again everyone,

A pretty card (and I like pretty cards!!) using the Sentimental Framing dies (#165476).

I used a piece of Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) and one of the Sentimental Framing dies for the design along the bottom of the card. I then cut the frame with another of the dies with the Highland Heather card (#147010).

The Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393) was attached to the Gorgeous Grape card, and this was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099). This was also cut with the die I used for the frame but I only needed the inside piece which fits inside the frame.

The flowers are from the Charming Day stamp set (#166126). These were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and coloured with the following Stampin’ Blends - Bubble Bath (#161675), Fresh Freesia (#155518), Highland Heather (#154887), Soft Sea Foam (#154902), Granny Apple Green (#154885) and Daffodil Delight (#154883).

The stamped flowers and die cut flowers and leaves were cut with the Charming Days dies (#166135).

The frame was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The sentiment was taped. The stamped flowers were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots (#103683), and the die cut flowers & leaves were attached with Mini Gue Dots.

To finish the card I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add glimmer to the flowers & leaves, then added the Frosted Iridescent Dots (#165766).

Iridescent Treat Bags

Hello friends,

The 2 photos below are of the same card. I attached the Iridescent Treat Bag (#166204) to a piece of Daffodil Delight card (#121680) and depending on the light, the colour will change.

Before attaching the Iridescent Treat bag, I stamped the grass from the Prairie Grass stamp set (#166168) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I cut the treat bag and taped 1 layer of the bag to the card.

The frame was cut with a Sentimental Framing die (#165476) using Secret Sea card (#165296). This was attached to the stamped image with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The base card is Basic Beige (#164512).

The sentiment from Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) was stamped with Secret Sea ink (#165285) and cut with the More Messages die (#165472). This was attached with a Stampin’ Dimensional and Mini Glue Dot (#103683). The bird is from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds (#162743).

Hello everyone,

Here is a sneak peek of some new products which will be available from the 3rd September. The floral image is from the Christmas Greenery stamp set (#165870), but I decided to use the image for a non Christmas card.

This was coloured with Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends (#147052) and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends (#163826). The co-ordinating Christmas Greenery die (#165872) was used to cut this.

The Flirty Flamingo card front (#141421) was dry embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder (#163791), then attached to the Basic White card base (#166781).

The white frame was cut with the Branching Out dies (#165775). This was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Artistic Leaves stamp set

Hi friends,

The Artistic Leaves stamp set (#166162) is a Two-step stamping set, which allows you to stamp 2 colours for the same image.

I stamped the 2 leaves with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083) and Darling Duckling ink (#165277). I did stamp off the Darling Duckling ink for a lighter colour. The leaves were fussy cut.

The Very Vanilla card front (#166785) was dry embossed with the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder (#164069) and matted with Cherry Cobbler card (#121681). This was attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

“Birthday Wishes” from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756) was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink. The ovals were cut with the Framed Scenes dies (#165396).

The Season Of Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164144) was taped to the card front. The leaves and sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I coloured the Antique Pearls (#164679) with Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends (#154880) before attaching them to the card.

Prairie Grass stamp set

Hello everyone,

I love the grass in the Prairie Grass stamp set (#166168) and have used it on this card.

I stamped onto the Thoughtful Journey 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#163303) using VersaMark (#102283). I added the Silver powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I re-stamped again, and slightly offsetting it, and this time adding Black from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679). This was heat set.

I then used 2 of the dies from the Textured Notes dies (#165555) to cut the rectangles from the DSP. I taped the outside piece of DSP to Shaded Spruce card (#147006). I used Foam Adhesive Sheets (#152815) cut into thin strips to attach the next piece so it was raised up. I taped the inside piece.

“With Love” is from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) and stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088). A Beautiful Butterflies die (#164614) was used to cut the sentiment. This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The retired Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems were added to the card.

Happy Hibiscus Bundle

Hi & welcome again friends,

I am back from my relaxing holiday and back in the craft room getting organised for next week classes.

On todays card I have used the Happy Hibiscus Bundle (#164880), which includes the Happy Hibiscus stamp set (#164877) and the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid embossing folder & dies (#164879). The Hybrid embossing folder includes the dies and one of the dies fits into the embossing folder to cut the stamped image. With this set, after stamping the 3 hibiscus flowers included in the one stamp, it can then be put into the folder with the die and it cuts & embosses at the same time.

I stamped the flowers with Berry Burst ink (#147143) onto Bubble Bath card (#161727), then cut & embossed with the Hybrid Embossing Folder.

The leaves from the Textured Notes stamp set (#165548) were stamped with Lemon Lime Twist ink (#147145) onto Basic White card (#166781)

I cut the arch using an Everyday Arches die (#164629), then dry embossed this with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (#161600). This card was attached to the card with the stamped leaves with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430), then matted with Berry Burst card (#144249) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The die cut leaves are cut with a die from the Happy Hibiscus dies, using Granny Apple Green card (#147014). The flowers & leaves were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add glimmer to the flowers and then added the birds from the Adhesive Backed Dragonflies & Birds (#162743).

Sunrise Sailing Bundle

Hello again,

A masculine card today using the Sunrise Sailing Bundle (#165497). This bundle includes the Sunrise Sailing stamp set (#165491) and the Sunrise sailing dies (#165496).

I cut the Misty Moonlight Two Tone card stock (#166686) into 2cm strips and taped them to a piece of Basic White card (#166781) with a 5mm space in between. I alternated the strips with the light & darker colours of the Two Tone card. I cut this with a Textured Notes die (#165555). This was matted with Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The sailing boat from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083) and cut with the co-ordinating die from the Sunrise Sailing dies.

The sentiment is also from this stamp set and stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink. A die from Textured Notes was used to cut the sentiment. The sailing boat and sentiment were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I have had a very busy few weeks and now will be away for the next couple of weeks. I was hoping to have cards to post while away but that didn't happen, so I will be back soon.

One Sheet Wonder

Hello stamping friends,

Have you heard of a One Sheet Wonder? This is when you use one sheet of Designer Paper, cut it into various sizes and use each piece on a different card. I am using the gold & white design from the Kintsugi Inspirations 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165159). Below are the sizes I cut for this page.

I have used one of the pieces cut 13.4cm x 9cm, and this was matted with Gorgeous Grape card (#147011), then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781)

The vases from the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set (#165161) were stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and Highland Heather ink (#147103). These were cut with the Inspiring Imperfections dies (#165166). This stamp set & die is also available in the Inspiring Imperfections Bundle (#165167), which gives you a 10% saving.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Year Of Flowers stamp set (#165367). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added the Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). I used the More Messages die (#165472) to cut the sentiment.

The gold rectangle is the middle of the smaller frame from the Sentimental Framing dies (#165476). I dry embossed this with the Joined Together Embossing Folder (#165170). The gold is from the Textured Metallic 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#163772).

I taped this gold and the Highland Heather vase to the card. The Gorgeous Grape vase & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I will show more cards from this One Sheet Wonder in the coming weeks.
