Lovely Doilies

 Hello again friends,

Another sneak peek today are the Lovely Doilies (#167104) which will be available next week from the Online Exclusives. There are 2 sizes of doilies and I have used the smaller size. They are in Real Red and Bubble Bath with White on the back and I have used the white side. The coloured side has a printed design on it.

The size of the finished card is 12.5cm x 12.5cm. The Fresh Freesia card front (#155614) was dry embossed with the Beautiful Patterns Embossing Folder (#167097), then matted with Petunia Pop card (#163802). This was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I stamped the floral image from the Christmas Greenery stamp set (#165870) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The flowers and ribbon were coloured with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends (#155518) and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends (#163828). I used Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885) to colour the leaves. The co-ordinating Christmas Greenery die (#165872) was used to cut this image.

I added the doily to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) then attached the Gold Striped Mesh ribbon (#165599). The floral image was attached on top with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Congratulations” from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) was stamped with Petunia Pop ink (#163811) and punched with the Three Banner punch (#167050) and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The embellishments are the (retired) Iridescent Faceted Gems.

Beautiful Butterflies

 Hello again friends,

I have combined this butterfly from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set (#164608) with some new products available early November from the Online Exclusives.

The butterfly was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). A die from the Beautiful Butterflies (#164614) was used to cut the butterfly. I added Glimmer to the butterfly using the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

I stamped the Basic White card front (#166781) with the Lasting Linen background stamp (#167107) using Crumb Cake ink (#147116). This was matted with Darling Duckling card (#165294) and attached to the Basic White base card. 

I cut the Garden Green card (#108605), which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), with a die from the Delicate Framing dies (#167026). These were attached to the card.

The sentiment, also from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set was gold embossed. I cut this with the Three Banner punch (#167050). The butterfly and sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Low-Profile Sparkle Dots (#166157) were added to finish the card.

Modern Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper

 Hi again friends,

Sorry for my absence for the last few days but have been unwell, so this morning I finally spent a short time in the craft room. So here is an easy but elegant Christmas card using the Modern Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165990).

I cut the trees from the DSP using a Stylish Shapes Die (#159183), then with a larger die cut the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622).

The card front is from the Silent Snowfall Specialty Designer Series Paper (#166062). This paper is already embossed. This was matted with Gold Foil Sheet.

I wrapped the Twine from the Black & White & Gold Twine (#166005) around the Large Gold Hoop (#166004) then attached it to the back of the cardfront. This was then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The 2 circles were attached together then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment is from the Greetings For You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (#166208) and attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to the card.

Kintsugi Inspirations

 Hi friends,

A really simple fancy fold card today using the Kintsugi Inspirations Suite Collection (#165172).

I cut the full length of Kintsugi Inspirations Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165159) 10cm wide and scored at 5cm at one end and 11.5cm at the other end.

The Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) - 10cm x 7.5cm, was dry embossed with the Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder (#165170). This was attached to the top flap (5cm piece) of the card.

The vase from the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set (#165161) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I cut this with a Peace On Earth die (#165924).

I made a small slit at the bottom of this to thread the Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon (#165599). The die cut piece with the vase was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set (#164608) and cut with a Stylish Shapes Die (#159183). This was taped on top of the vase.

I stamped part of the vase on the inside with Misty Moonlight ink (#153118).

Wrap the ribbon around the card and tie in a bow.

Petals Of Beauty Bundle

 Hello friends,

There will be additional Online Exclusives available from 1st November, so here is a sneak peek of some of the products.

The flowers are from the Petals Of Beauty stamp set (#167093) and this is a Two Step stamping set. For each of the flowers I used full strength ink for the darker colours, then stamped off for the lighter colours. I used Strawberry Slush ink (#165286), Pretty In Pink ink (#163807) and Petunia Pop ink (#163811). I used the Petals Of Beauty Dies (#167095) to cut the flowers and the leaves. I used Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) for the leaves.

The Silver Foil sheet (#163387), also backed with Adhesive Sheet was cut with the Delicate Framing Dies (#167026).

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder (#167097) and matted with Strawberry Slush card (#165297), then attached to the Basic White base card. 

The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The leaves and delicate frames were attached.

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was added to the flowers and the embellishments are from the retired Iridescent Faceted Gems.

The sentiment from the (retired) Mixed Labels stamp set was stamped with Strawberry Slush ink and cut with the Three Banner punch (#167050).

Bauble Blooms dies

 Hello everyone,

 The Bauble Blooms dies (#166095) were used to cut the bauble for this pretty Christmas card.

For the bauble I used the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper (#165917). For the top of the bauble I used Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) and this was taped to the bauble.

The card front was embossed with the Christmas Words Collage Hybrid Embossing Folder (#165912). Before embossing, I applied Crumb Cake ink (#147116) to the inside of the front of the folder, then embossed the card as normal. This gave the colour around the sentiments.

The bauble was attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I threaded the Misty Moonlight & Silver Edged 1/2” Ribbon (#165931) through the top of the bauble and taped it to the back of the card front. The card front was then attached to the Night Of Navy card base (#106577).

Patterned Tags dies

 Hi friends,

I have made some tags today using the Patterned Tags dies (#165910).

One of the dies cuts the full tag which I have used for the back of the tag. There are 3 dies with different designs - flowers, stripes & leaves that I used for the front.

For the front tags, I used Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of the card, making them easy to adhere to the back tag. The card I used is Real Red (#103578), Basic White (#166781), Pretty Peacock (#150886), Lost Lagoon (#133686), Blueberry Bushel (#146991), Silver Foil Sheet (#163387) and Gold Foil Sheet (#132622).

For the greetings (top 3 tags) I used the Greetings For You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (#166208) and Christmas Words Collage Hybrid Embossing Folder (#165912) for the bottom 3.

Before Embossing the words with the Christmas Words Embossing Folder, I applied Crumb Cake ink (#147116) on the inside of the front of the folder. I placed the card on the other side and closed the folder and embossed as normal. This gives a subtle outline around the words. I then used the die to cut the words. If you don't want to add the ink, you can cut and emboss at the same time with this hybrid folder.

The greetings were attached to the tags with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Some retired trim was threaded through the holes of the tags.

Peaceful Days stamp set

 Hi again friends,

The Peaceful Days stamp set (#166801) is where you will find this beautiful bird that I have used for this Christmas card.

I stamped the bird with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138) on Basic White card (#166781), then cut it with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183).

The card front is Blueberry Bushel card (#146991). I placed 2 strips of tape along the top & bottom of the card, then sprinkled it with Silver powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This is an easy way to get a straight line of heat embossing. I then dry embossed the card with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder (#167097), which will be available in November.

“Merry Christmas” was cut with the Words For The Season Dies (#165797) using Basic White card which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). This was attached to the card. The bird was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the bird. The embellishments are from the Faceted Snowflakes (#166077).

Christmas Greenery

 Hello friends,

The Christmas Greenery Bundle (#165865) is probably my favourite Christmas sets, but I think this floral image is suitable for other occasions, making it extra versatile.

I stamped the image from the Traditional Labels stamp set (#165854) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#166781). This was coloured with Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends (#161673), Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894). A Traditional Labels die (#165864) was used to cut this.

The 2 label dies from the Peace On Earth dies (#165924) were used to cut the Vellum Specialty Paper (#167099) and the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper (#165929). I dry embossed the Vellum with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder (#167097). This was attached to the glimmer paper with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The DSP is from the retired Otterly Adorable Designer Series Paper. I also dry embossed this with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder. I double matted this with Daffodil Delight card (#121680) and Secret Sea card (#165296) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

“Celebrate” from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set (#165198) was stamped with Secret Sea ink (#165285) and this was punched with the Banner Punch (#167050).

I taped the labels to the card front and I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the flowers and sentiment. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was added to the floral image and the embellishments are the retired Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

The Vellum Specialty paper, Three Banner Punch and Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder will be available from the Online Exclusives from November along with a whole lot more new products.

Harvest Home Garland Kit

 Hi again stamping friends,

Today I am using the beautiful Harvest Home Garland Kit (#166228), but I have made a wreath instead of a garland.

Everything is included in the kit, except for a Hot Glue Gun, which is recommended to attach everything to the wreath or garland.

There is a huge number of leaves, and with the wreath I had heaps left over, so I will make another one. Just need to get some extra wire.

For some of the leaves I added extra colour using inks and daubers. Others I lightly sanded to show the veins on the leaves as the card has a white core.

Peace On Earth Bundle

 Hi again friends,

The Peace On Earth Bundle (#165925), used here, consists of the Peace On Earth stamp set (#165918) and the Peace On Earth dies (#165924).

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#166781) with the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder (#165928) and matted it with the Misty Moonlight card (#153086). This was attached to the Basic White base card. The finished card is a bit larger than normal - 13.5cm x 15.5cm.

“Peace On Earth” was stamped on to piece of Basic White card and it was cut with a Spotlight On Nature die (#163580), then attached to the card front.

I cut many of the leaves with a die from the Peace On Earth Dies and attached them around the circle to form a wreath, using Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I used Cloud Cover card (#165293) for the leaves.

The dove, also from the Peace On Earth dies, was cut from the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper (#165929). A Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430) was used to attach the dove to the card. The Hues Of Flowers (#165930) are the embellishments I added to the wreath.

Charming Day Bundle

 Hello stamping friends,

I am using the Charming Day Bundle (#166136) again for the floral image on today’s card. Yes it is currently one of my favourites. 

I used Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) to stamp the floral image from the Charming Day stamp set (#166126). I coloured it with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883), Azure Afternoon Stampin’ Blends (#161672), Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends (#154830) and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends (#154902).

“Happy Birthday” from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) was stamped with Azure Afternoon ink (#161663). I cut the circles for the sentiment and the Azure Afternoon card with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183). I used the silver Metallic Rub-Ons (#165270) on the Azure Afternoon circle and sentiment.

The card front is one of the designs from the Irresistible Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165305). This was lightly coloured with Azure Afternoon ink and a Blending Brush (#153611) which brings out the design on the card. The card front was matted with Azure Afternoon card and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“80” was cut using the Alphabet A La Mode dies (#160750) and I used the blue from the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper (#165929) which I had backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), and makes it easy to attach the fine numbers to the card.

The 2 circles were taped to the card and the floral image was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Traditional Sparkling Sequins (#165875) were added.

Scrapbook page

 Hello everyone,

I had a chance to do some scrapbooking today which is rare. No stamping, just some dies and designer paper.

I cut 4cm squares of some retired DSP and taped them around the border of the 12”x12” Willow White card (3166703).

The photos were attached to the Night Of Navy card (#106577) and attached to the Gold Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772), then taped to the page.

The flowers from the Charming Day dies (#166135) were cut from Night Of Navy card and attached to the page with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The numbers and letters are also cut from the Night Of Navy card, but this was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), making it easy to attach them to the page. The numbers are from the Alphabet A La Mode dies (#160750) and the letters are from the Mini Alphabet dies (#162934).
