Sentimental Framing

 Hi friends,

The Sentimental Framing dies (#165476) have been used for the beautiful frame for these photos.




The base page is from the Wildflower Celebrations Scrapbooking Workshop Kit (#166623). I have matted the smaller Blueberry Bushel card (#146991) with Silver Foil Sheet (#163387) and another piece of Blueberry Bushel card.

I cut the frames from Silver Foil Sheet. I also cut the photos with the same die, to cut the photo so it fitted into the frame. The frames & photos were taped to the page.

I stamped the floral image from the Charming Day stamp set (#166126) with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Silver powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The stamped image and the detailed Silver Foil image were cut with the Charming Day dies (#166135). These were attached to the page with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). Another die from the Sentimental Framing dies was used to cut the pieces for the names.

Two-Tone cardstock

 Hello again friends,

Have you seen the Two-Tone cardstock? This cardstock has a white core, so it’s great for a variety of techniques. On this card I dry embossed the card, then sanded it to reveal the white core.



Also, the cardstock has a dark shade on one side and a lighter shade of the same colour on the other side. I have dry embossed the darker side of the Darling Duckling Two-Tone card (#166707) with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder (#166145), then using a fine sandpaper I sanded the card to reveal the white core. I splattered the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) over the card front to give some glimmer all over. This was matted with Secret Sea card (#165296), then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The sentiment from the Charming Day stamp set (#166126) was stamped with Secret Sea ink (#165285), onto the lighter side of the Darling Duckling card. I used dies from the Happy Hibiscus dies (#164879) to cut the sentiment and the circle. The circle was taped to the card front and I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the sentiment.

The embellishments are from the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls (#165192).

Along These Lines stamp set

 Hi again,

Along These Lines stamp set (#165352) has a variety of line images. I have used the cake for this card.




I stamped the cake with Calypso Coral ink (#147101) onto Very Vanilla card (#166785). I used the Party Banners dies (#165264) to cut the stamped image as well as the Calypso Coral card (#124392) and the Old Olive card (#106576), then these were taped together.

The Very Vanilla card front was dry embossed with the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder (#164049) and matted with Calypso Coral card. The Base card is Very Vanilla. The DSP is from the Timeless Plaid 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164678).

“Celebrate” is from the Blooming Phrases stamp set (#16552) and stamped with Calypso Coral ink and cut with a Textured Notes Die (#165555).       

The sentiment & banners were attached  with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add some glimmer to the cake.

Charming Day

 Hello again friends,

I am using the Charming Day bundle (#166136) again today. Yesterday I made a card in bold colours, so today I have used subtle colours to show how to use the same set but with a totally different look.



I stamped the single flowers & leaves from the Charming Day stamp set (#166126) three times onto Basic White card (#166781). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Silver Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The Charming Day dies (#166135) were used to cut the stamped images, the Silver Foil (#163387) leaves and the Pool Party (#124391) floral image.

The leaves were coloured with Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894) and the flowers with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends (#155518). I used Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends (#154887) for the flower centres. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add the glimmer to the flowers & leaves.

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (#161600), then matted with Pool Party card. The base card is also Basic White.

The Pool Party die cut floral image and the silver leaves were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The stamped images were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“With Sympathy” from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) was also heat embossed with Silver. This was cut with the More Messages die (#165472). This die cuts a variety of shapes and sizes for your sentiments. There is also a stamp that co-ordinates with the die, so both are very versatile. The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Charming Day bundle

 Hi friends,

I have used the beautiful Charming Day Bundle (#166136) for today’s card but highlighting the dies




I used the Charming Day dies (#166135), which are part of the bundle, to cut the detailed floral image & leaves. The floral image was cut from Blackberry Bliss card (#133682) and the leaves from Gold Foil Sheet (#132622).

The Berry Burst card front (#144249) was dry embossed with the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder (#164695) and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

A triangle of the Floral Charm Designer Series Paper (#166125) was attached to the card front. The sentiment is from the Charming Day stamp set (#166136) and I stamped this with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092). A die from Spotlight On Nature (#163580) was used to cut the sentiment.

The floral die cut image and sentiment were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The gold foil leaves were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). Just remove the backing and attach them to the card.

The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to finish the card.

Nests Of Winter Designer Series Paper

 Hello everyone,

I had these birds left from another project, so have used them on this card.




The birds are from the Nests Of Winter Designer Series Paper (#164183). The top bird was fussy cut and the other one was cut with a die from the retired Winterly Tree Tops. The Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) was used for the diamonds & circles. These were cut with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183).

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder (#165170), then matted with Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The gold diamonds were taped to the card and the gold circle was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Happy Birthday” from the Year Of Flowers stamp set (#165367) was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083) and taped to the gold circle.

Elements Of Text stamp set

 Hi again friends,

Sorry for my absence for the past few days. I’ve had a very busy week plus had cortisone injections in both shoulders, but I’m back to doing what I love - crafting.



I have stamped the text from the Elements Of Text stamp set (#164774), using Crumb Cake ink (#166787) onto Very Vanilla card (#166785). This card was matted with Mossy Meadow card (#133683), then attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

I dry embossed the strip of Crumb Cake card (#121685) with the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder (#165559) and taped it to the right side of the card front.

The leaves were cut with dies from the Thankful Garden dies (#165533) and Beautiful Motifs dies (#165205). The Mossy Meadow card and the Garden Green card (#108605) were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), before cutting with the dies. This makes it easy to attach the detailed die cuts to the card.

I cut a piece of Mossy Meadow card and a piece of Pecan Pie card (#161726) with the Textured Notes dies (#165555). The Mossy Meadow die cut strip was taped to the card and the Pecan Pie card was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111), then cut with a die from the Inspiring Imperfections (#165166) and attached to the card.

The dragonflies are from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds (#162743).

An easy card as long as you don’t mind a bit of fussy cutting.

Party Banners Dies

 Hi friends,

I am trying to get ahead with some masculine cards, so here’s another one today.



I stamped the text from the Elements Of Text stamp set (#164774) using Crumb Cake ink (#147116) onto Very Vanilla card (#166785). “Happy Birthday” from the Loveliest tree stamp set (#163714) was stamped with Misty Moonlight ink (#153118). The 3 banners were cut with the Party Banners dies (#165264).

The Timeless Plaid 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164678) was matted with Misty Moonlight card (#153086) and attached the card front to the Very Vanilla base card.

I stamped the bike from the Along The Lines stamp set (#165352) using Misty Moonlight ink, then re-stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and added Clear powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165679). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

I taped the 3 banners together then attached them to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are the Earth Tone Shimmer Gems (#164070) which are still on the Last Chance list in Australia.

 Hi again everyone,

The Kintsugi Inspirations Suite Collection (#165172) is one of my favourites at the moment. This includes the Inspiring Imperfections Bundle (#165167) which is where you will find these vases & bowl.




The bundle consists of the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set (#165161) and Inspiring Imperfections die (#165166).

One vase was stamped with Highland Heather ink (#147103) onto Basic White card (#166781). The other vase was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) on Gorgeous Grape card (#147011), and I used the White powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165679). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The bowl was heat embossed with Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678). These were cut with the dies.

For the card front, I cut an arch from the Basic White card using one of the Everyday Arches dies (#164629). I then embossed the card with the Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder (#165170). I dry embossed a piece of Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) with the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder (#165559). I attached this Gold Foil to the back of the card with the arch, then matted this with Gorgeous Grape card. I attached this to the Basic White base card.

The white vase & bowl were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the other vase was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape

 Hi again,

These flowers & leaves are from the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape (#165269).




There are 2 colours of flowers on this Washi tape. For this card I used the purple colours and attached it to Fresh Freesia card (#155614) so it gives a purple edge which I wanted. This was cut with the Extraordinary Flora die (#165244). This one die cuts the flowers & leaves all at one time.

The Gold edged label is from the Foiled Frames & Labels Ephemera Pack (#165616). The sentiment is from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) and I stamped it with Petunia Pop ink (#163811). I cut it with the More Messages die (#165472).

The Fresh Freesia card for the card front was dry embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (#161600), then matted with Petunia Pop card (#163802). This was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The flowers & leaves were attached to the label with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used for the sentiment.

The beautiful gold Flower Accents (#165171) were added to the card. I added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the flowers.

Party Alphabet dies

 Hi friends,

Another easy card using the Party Alphabet dies (#165263). These dies are quite large - 7.5cm (2-15/16”) high. I am loving them for both cards & scrapbooking. They do come separately or in a bundle with the Party Banners dies (165264) and the bundle is the Party Dies Bundle (#165265).




I cut the letters from Real Red card (#106578). I dry embossed them with the Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Embossing Folder (#165496). I actually used the waves part of the folder but rather than have the waves horizontal on the letters I had them vertical, and they don't look like waves.

The Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393) was double matted with Secret Sea card (#165296) and Real Red card. This was then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“You” is from the Layered Thoughts stamp set (#165346). This was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) then cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183).

The letters were taped to the card and “you” was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) were added to the card. I arranged the letters so they would fit a normal size card.

Sunrise Sailing Bundle

 Hi & welcome,

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




I stamped the yacht with VersaMark (#102283) and added the silver powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). I then stamped Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138) to the sails, using the stamping off method to achieve a lighter colour. A Sunrise Sailing die was used to cut the yacht.

The DSP is from the Splendid Autumn 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164173). The strips were attached to a piece of Silver Foil Sheet (#163387). This was attached to the Blueberry Bushel card (#146991) that was dry embossed with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder (#164695) and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“Best Wishes” is also from the stamp set and I used a die from the Textured Notes (#1655555) to cut the sentiment. The yacht and sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The birds were cut with a die from the Sunrise Sailing dies using Silver Foil backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

Party Alphabet dies

 Hello again,

This card would be a great masculine card but easily changed to a feminine card by using different colours & Designer Series Papers.



I cut the letters with the Party Alphabet Dies (#165263) using Basic Black card (#121688) and Real Red card (#106578). I taped the black letters to the red letters with a slight offset to give a shadow effect. 

A design from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393) was matted wth Real Red card then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

Below the “H” & “A”, I have used a design from the Metallic Textures Rub-Ons (#165270). The pack of  Rub-Ons includes both Silver & Gold. I used silver.

“Birthday” is from the Layered Thoughts stamp set (#165346). This stamp does include “Happy” but I only wanted “Birthday”. So when I inked the stamp with Real Red ink (#147084), I covered Happy with a post it note, added the ink, removed the post it note and stamped “Birthday” onto Basic White card.

I used a Textured Notes Die (#165555) to cut the sentiment. To cut this the correct size I used a larger die to cut 2 sides, then repositioned the die to cut the other 2 sides.

The letters & “birthday” were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Nests Of Winter Designer Series Paper

 Hi friends,

I fussy cut these birds from the Nests Of Winter Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164183).




The card front is the Cloud Cover from the Flower Garden Foils 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#165511). This pack includes Pretty In Pink & Strawberry Slush colours with 2 different designs in each colour. I wrapped the retired Metallic Edge Ribbon around the card front, then attached it to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I used 2 of the smaller banners from the Party Banners dies (#165264) to cut the Strawberry Slush Foil and Basic White card. I dry embossed the white banners with the Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder (#165614). I taped the white banners to the Strawberry Slush banners, then these were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The birds were attached on top with Mini Stampin’ Dimensioanls (#144108).

The sentiment is from the Blooming Phrases stamp set (#165523). These are 2 separate stamps, each with the “tail”. So when I inked “Happy” I avoided inking the tail, then I stamped “birthday” so it looked like one stamp. This was stamped with Strawberry Slush ink (#165286). A Beautiful Butterflies die (#164614) was used to cut the sentiment. This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Embellishemnts are from the Strawberry Slush & Pretty In Pink Gems (#165615).

A strip of the Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper (#165524) was attached to the card front. The circles of  Poppy Parade card and Basic White card were cut with the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580).

“Happy Birthday” from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) was stamped with Poppy Parade ink (#147050) and also cut with a Spotlight On Nature die.
