Kits & Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack

Hello again friends,

Kits are a great product for quick & easy cards and perfect to take away on holidays. I am using the Heirloom Arrangements Kit (#165007) again today with the sentiment from the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (#164862).

The base card, floral image & frame are from the kit. I taped the frame to the base card and attached the floral image with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The sentiment was also attached with Dimensionals.

The embellishments are from the Iridescent Faceted Gems (#163368).

This kits comes with instructions for 8 cards, however I just done my own designs and will get more than 8 cards from all the images, with some extra bases.

I will be away for a few days and will take this kit with me so hopefully will get cards done while away.

Heirloom Arrangements kit

Hi friends,

The Heirloom Arrangements Kit (#165007) has a beautiful range of images to make quick and easy cards. You can make very simple cards or be as creative as you like with the variety images in this kit.

I decided you use the Splash Of Sparkles Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167200) for the card front (instead of the card bases included in the kit). This was matted with Timid Tiger card (#165298) and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“Thank You” is also from the kit and I stamped this with Timid Tiger ink (#165278) and cut it with a Fragrant Layers die (#167154).

The sentiment, butterfly & floral image were attached with Stampin’ Dimensioanls (#104430). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add glimmer to the flowers & butterfly.

Charming Day

Hello again friends,

The Charming Day Bundle (#166136) is on the Last Chance products so still available while stocks last. Check out all the Last Chance products as there are many at discounted prices.

I dry embossed Basic White card (#166781) with the Stone & Vine Embossing folder (#166990). I then punch this several times with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch (#162888). These punched pieces were attached to a piece of Basic White card with a small gap between each piece. The card front was matted with Basic Black card (#121688), then Crushed Curry card (#13128). This was attached to the Basic White base card.

I stamped the flowers from Charming Day stamp set (#166126) with Memento Black Tuxedo Ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends used to colour these images are Daffodil Delight ($154883), Lost Lagoon (#161680), Pool Party (#154894) and Pecan Pie (#161674). The floral images were cut with the Charming Day dies (#166135). These were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103863) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The die cut leaves were cut with the Charming days dies using Pool Party card (#124391). I attached these with Mini Glue Dots.

“Get Well Soon” was cut with the Mini Alphabet Dies (#162934) using Gold Foil Sheets (#132622). I glued these letters to the card. Normally I would use Adhesive Sheet but I find with the very embossed card, Glue is a better option, so I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (3141897) to add glimmer to the images and the embellishments are from the Low Profile Sparkle Dots (#166157).

I coloured the inside of the flowers with Stampin’ Blends - Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Highland Heather (#154887) & Fresh Freesia (#155518).

I used Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) for the leaves which were cut with Fragrant Layers dies (#167154). The card was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

I stamped the “Happy Birthday” & “box” from the Addressed To You stamp set (#167010) using Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052) onto the Basic White card front (#166781). This was dry embossed with the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder (#167179) and matted with Flirty Flamingo card (#141421). The base card is Basic White.

The large flower was attached to the card with a Stampin’ Dimensioanl (#104430) and the small flowers with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The leaves were easily attached with the adhesive backs.

The clear dots from the Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes (#167005) were coloured with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) before attaching them to the flower centres. Shimmer was added to the flowers using the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897).

The beautiful Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape (#165269) co-ordinates with the Extraordinary Flora Dies (#165244). This die cuts a variety of images in one go.

The patterns on the Washi tape alternate between pink & purple. I attached the Washi tape to Basic White card (#166781) before cutting with the die.

Fragrant Layers Bundle

Hi friends,

The Fragrant Layers stamp set (#167150) is a Two-Step stamp set, which allows you to use different colours on the one image.

I stamped the floral image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#166781). For the flowers I stamped with Poppy Parade ink (#147050) and the leaves with Summer Splash ink (#163809). For the lighter leaves I stamped off before stamping on the image. The flower centres were stamped with Lemon Lolly ink (#161666).

I cut the outline of the floral image with a die from the Fragrant layers dies (#167154) using Poppy Parade card (#121694). I placed this on top of the stamped image. The Poppy Parade card was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

For the card front I used the Mixed Up Patterns Mix-In Designer Series Paper (#166992). This was attached to the Basic Black card (#121688) then attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment is also from the Fragrant Layers stamp set. I stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) and added Black Powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

I cut the sentiment with a Fragrant Layers die. This die cuts 2 pieces at the one time - the inside for the sentiment and the outside “frame”. I cut a 2nd piece with Poppy Parade card and used the frame around the sentiment. The cute ladybugs are from the Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes (#167005).

Fragrant Layers

Hello again everyone,

This floral image is from the Fragrant Layers stamp set (#167150). This is a Two-Step set where you can stamp the outline image, then colour the inside with another stamp. However I have chosen to colour the image with Stampin’ Blends. It’s great to have options.

The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#166781). The flowers were coloured with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675), the leaves with Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894) and the flower centres with Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends (#161673). I chose these colours as they are the colours in the Pastels Shimmer Specialty Paper (#167198) which I have used on this card. The floral image was fussy cut.

The Bubble Bath card front from this specialty paper was dry embossed with the Beautiful Pattern 3D Embossing Folder (#167097) and matted with Basic Black card (#121688). The Lemon Lolly and Pool Party shimmer papers were cut with a die from the Nested Essentials dies (#161597). These were taped to the card.

“With Love” from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and cut with a Beautiful Butterflies dies (#164614).

The floral image and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I cut some leaves using dies from the Fragrant Layers Dies (#167154) using Pool Party card (#124391). I added some extra colour to the leaves with a Sponge Dauber (#133773) & Pool Party ink (#147107). These were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the floral image. The Pearlised Faceted Circles (#166978) were the embellishments added to the card.

Beautifully Adorned Ephemera pack

Hello friends,

I’m back in the craft room for a short time again today after another morning of cleaning. You know those jobs that keep getting put off, but can’t put them off any longer.

Here is a pretty card using a variety of products and no stamping at all. I also choose not to add a sentiment for now.

The Very Vanilla card front (#166785) was dry embossed with the Beautiful Pattern 3D Embossing Folder (#167097). The edges were daubered with Garden Green ink (#147089) then attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

The gold frame is from the Beautifully Adorned Ephemera Pack (#166980). This was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The bird is from the Softest Spring Mix & Match Puffy Stickers (#166986). This is adhesive backed. The leaves & flowers are from the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape (#165269) and the Greenery Lane Washi Tape (#166880). The Extraordinary Flora Die (#165244) and the Greenery Lane dies (#166876) were used to cut the images. These were then attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots.

Before die cutting the Washi tape, they were attached to Basic White card (#166781) and Window Sheet (#142314).

The retired Earth Tones Shimmer Gems were added to finish the card.

Beautifully Celebrated

Hi again,

I haven’t had a lot of time to get into the craft room, so when I had a small window of opportunity today I made this easy card using new products available from 6th January. The Beautifully Celebrated Bundle (#166965) was used for the leaf and the fancy shape cut outs.

I stamped the leaf from the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set (#166968) with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678). The Heat Tool (#129056) was used to set the powder. I stamped this on the Pastel Shimmer Specialty Paper (#167198). This pack contains Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly & Pool Party coloured paper. I added some subtle colour to the leaves with the Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894). This Pool Party paper & the Gold Foil (#132622) were cut with the Beautifully Celebrated dies (#166974).

Another gorgeous paper is the Splash Of Sparkles Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167200) which I have used for the card front and matted with Gold Foil. This was attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#166785).

The die cut Gold Foil was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). “Happy Birthday” is from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756). This was also gold embossed on the Pool Party shimmer paper. A Textured Notes Die (#165555) was used to cut the sentiment, then I attached it with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
