Charming Day

 Hi again everyone,

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas as I did. We had Christmas Day with all the family and was very relaxing. I am back home after a couple of days away so am back in the craft room today.

There are a number of products recently placed on the Last Chance list and one of them is the Charming Day Bundle (#166136). These Last Chance products are available while stocks last and many at discounted prices.

The floral image from the Charming Day stamp set (#166126) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#166781). This was coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Bubble Bath (#161675), Pretty In Pink (#163824), Flirty Flamingo (#154884) and Pool Party (#154894). This was then cut with the co-ordinating die from the Charming Day dies (#166135).

I cut the circle with a Spotlight On Nature die (#163580) from Pretty In Pink card (#163794). I attached one of the small Lovely Doilies (#167104) on top of the circle. This pack of doilies are pink and red and the reverse is white, and there are 2 sizes.

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing folder (#163789), then matted with Pretty In Pink card. The base card is also Basic White.

The circle was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). “Congratulations” from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) was stamped with Pretty In Pink ink (#163807) and cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). This was attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the floral image with Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430) and Mini Glue Dots.

I added shimmer to the floral image using the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897). The embellishments are Pearlized Faceted Circles (#166978).

I have used 5 of the designs from this DSP. I taped the 4 rectangles to the Night Of Navy card (#106577). The oval was cut with an Impressions Abloom die (#165610). The Night Of Navy card “frame” was cut with the same die. This was glued to the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). The card front was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The Misty Moonlight Silver Edged ribbon (#165931) was attached to the card. The sentiment is from the Blooming Phrases stamp set (#165523) and stamped with Night Of Navy ink (#147110). These were punched with the Three Banner Punch (#167050). The sentiment was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Each month there will be a new Product of the Month which will be available for purchase with a qualifying order ($9 with a $125 order in Australia). This will be available while stocks last, however will carry over to the next month if stocks are still available.

Softest Spring Mix & Match Puffy Stickers

 Hello friends,

I’m highlighting some more products from the upcoming mini catalogue including the gorgeous Soft Spring Mix & Match Puffy Stickers (#166986).

There is a range of stickers including this cute little bird as well as flowers leaves & butterflies.

I embossed the oval (it’s actually a part oval) from the Addressed To You stamp set (#167010), using VersaMark (#102283) with Silver from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This Basic White card (#166781) was cut with a die from Branching Out (#165775), then I dry embossed it with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder (#167097). I think this is currently my favourite embossing folder. The Daffodil Delight card (#121680) was also cut with a Branching Out die. These were taped together then attached to the Basic White base card.

I lightly added Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) to the card front using a Blending Brush (#153611), then attached the bird sticker on top.

“Happy Birthday” is also from the Addressed To You stamp set and stamped with Crushed Curry ink (#147087). I used the Three Banner Punch (#167050) to cut the sentiment. These were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Low Profile Sparkle Dots (#166157) were added to the card.

Etched Autumn stamp

 Hello again friends,

I was in need of a masculine card for an avid gardener so thought the Etched Autumn stamp (#166082) would be suitable to use for the background.

I stamped the background with VeraMark (#102283) onto Very Vanilla card (#166785), then added the Copper powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I then added colour with Blending Brushes (#153611) and Granny Apple Green ink (#147095), Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083), Crushed Curry ink (#147087) and Cajun Craze ink (#147085).

The card front was matted with the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772). “Happy Birthday” from the With You In Mind stamp set (#164747) was also heat embossed with the Copper powder. The sentiment and foil underneath were cut with the Branching Out dies (#165775), these were attached together and I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach it to the card.

The leaves were cut using a retired die from the Happy Hibiscus dies. I used Granny Apple Green card (#147014), Cherry Cobbler card (#121681), Crushed Curry card (#131288) and Cajun Craze card (#121683). I added shimmer to the leaves with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897). These were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The embellishments are retired Earth Tones Shimmer Gems.

Branching Out dies

 Hello again,

Before I put everything away from yesterday’s card I thought I would make another one with a variation.

The flower, leaves and gold corner pieces are from the Beautifully Adorned Ephemera Pack (#166980). The flower has an outline in gold so I coloured the back with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675).

The card front is from the Whispers Of Texture Specialty Paper (#167106) and this was matted with Bubble Bath card (#161727), then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I cut the “frame” with 2 of the Branching Out dies (#165775), then dry embossed it with the Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder (#165170). This was attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Congratulations” is from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) and stamped with VersaMark (#102283), then I added the Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing powders (#165678). The Heat Tool (#129056) was used to set the powder. This was punched with the Three Banner punch (#167050).

The flower was attached with a Stampin’ Dimensional, and Mini Glue Dots (#103683) were used for the leaves & gold corners. The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals and a Mini Glue Dot. The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to finish the card.

Beautifully Adorned Ephemera Pack

 Hi again,

Another sneak peek today, this time using the Beautifully Adorned Ephemera Pack (#166980) from the upcoming mini catalogue available from 6th January. There are 6 vellum sheets, 2 each of 3 designs of pre-cut images with gold. Gold & white always looks so elegant.

For the background I used the Whispers Of Texture Specialty Paper (#167106) and added subtle colour using a Blending Brush (#153611) with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) to the middle of the card.

I dry embossed a piece of Basic White card (#166781) with the Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder (#165170), then punched this several times with the Three Banner Punch (#167050). These were taped to the card front. I matted this with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

“Celebrate” is from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) and I stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing powders (#165678). The Heat Tool (#129056) was used to set the powder. This was also punched with the Three Banner punch.

The flower was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and the leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to the card.

Gears & Textures

 Hello again my friends,

I am having a break from Christmas cards today and I have a sneak peek of the Gears & Textures Bundle (#166854), which is great for masculine cards. This bundle will be available in the next mini catalogue from the 6th January.

The White card front is from the Whispers Of Texture Specialty Paper (#167106), which by its name has a fine texture. Using a Blending Brush (#153611) I added the Cloud Cover ink in the middle of the card. The card was then matted with Basic Gray card (#121689) and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I randomly stamped several blotches from the Gears & Textures stamp set (#166851) with VersaMark (#102283) onto a piece of Basic Gray card and added the Copper powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I then cut out different gears from the Gears & Textures dies (#166853). I used another die from this set to cut the Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper (#165545) and these were glued to the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

I attached some of the gears with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and others with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Addressed To You stamp set (#167010) - also available in January. This was stamped with Basic Gray ink (#149165) and punched with the Three Banner Punch (#167050). This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The 2 pieces of Copper Foil from the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772) were cut with dies also from the Gears & Textures. I had backed this foil with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), making it easy to attach these fine cut outs to the card.

Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper

 Hi everyone,

We all have bits and pieces of Designer Series Paper (which we couldn’t throw out), so why not use these scraps for a card. I have used the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper (#165917) for this Christmas card, but of course you could make a card for any occasion.

I punched various designs from the DSP using the Heartfelt Hexagon punch (#162888). I stamped the sentiment from the Peace On Earth stamp set (#165918) with Night Of Navy ink (#147110).

All the DSP was taped to Basic White card (#166781). I started by attaching the piece with the doves, then the sentiment. From there I attached all the other pieces, then I cut the excess off which was overhanging the white card. I matted this card with Night Of Navy card (#106577) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

The embellishments are from the Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots (#166139).

The medium size pine snowflake was stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088). These were all cut with the Delicate Pines dies (#166073).

I cut the Real Red (#106578) circle with a Spotlight On Nature die (#163580).

 I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the large & medium snowflakes, then a Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430) to attach the small one.

The Vellum Specialty Paper (#167099) was dry embossed with the Beautiful Patterns 3D Embossing Folder (#167097).

Traditions Of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper

 Hi again,

Another Christmas card using the Traditions Of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165853). This floral image is part of the DSP and can be cut with the co-ordinating Christmas Greenery dies (#165872).

The Gold Foil (#132622) behind the floral image was cut with a die from the Sentimental Framing dies (#165476).

The Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164037) was matted with Gold Foil then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781). The die cut gold foil was attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).
