Citrus Blooms

Hello everyone,

I love when the dies will cut images from the Designer paper as well as the stamp set. The Citrus Blooms dies (#163294) cuts some of the images from the co-ordinating Mediterranean Blooms 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#163284).

These oranges from the DSP were cut with the dies. The beautiful leafy frame was cut with 2 of the dies. They can be cut at the same time or separately. I used Lemon Lolly card (#161729) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). I also cut a piece of Very Vanilla Card (#106550) just with the outline die and dry embossed this with one of the Basics Embossing Folders (#161598). I then attached the Lemon Lolly die cut to the Very Vanilla piece. This was then attached to the Very Vanilla Base card.

“Just For You” from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Garden Green ink (#147089). I used a die from the Round We Go Dies (#163729). This just cut the holes around the sentiment. I then cut this with a die from the Unbounded Love dies (#163383) as well as the Garden Green card (#108605) under the sentiment with the slightly larger die.

The oranges and sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I used the Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add some glimmer to the oranges. The embellishments are from the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots (#162758).

Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello again friends,

Have you seen the beautiful Frames & Flowers 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#163765) which includes 3 sheets with single-sided die cuts and 3 sheets of double sided designs. These pre-cut elements are great for a quick & easy card or you can step it up with extra elements.

The DSP for the background is also from this pack and attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550). The Pretty Peacock card (#150886) was punched with the Retired Banner Triple Punch and attached to the card.

I attached the floral die cut to the Petal Pink card (#147009) which was dry embossed with the Dashing Designs Embossing Folder (#163483).

“Just a Note” from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756) was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) and cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183), then matted with Pretty Peacock card. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The Petal Pink embellishments are from the Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems (#162587).

Country Woods Designer Series Paper

Hi Stamping Friends,

On page 22 of the Annual catalogue there is a range of sketches which are great for inspiration when making a card. You can of course follow exactly or add or remove any of the pieces. I have used one of the sketches for today’s card.

I used various designs from the Country Woods 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#163393) for the background & circles. All the circles were cut with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183).

I matted the smaller piece of DSP for the background with Misty Moonlight card (#153086). The base card is Basic White (#159228).

The sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Misty Moonlight ink (#153118). This was attached to the Misty Moonlight circle and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The smaller circles were taped to the card.

The planes from the Adventurous Sky stamp set (#163439) were stamped with Misty Moonlight ink and cut with the Adventurous Sky dies (#163446). The larger plane was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and the small plane with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The Industrial Trinkets (#163450) were attached also with Mini Glue Dots.

Lovely & Sweet

Hi friends,

Black & gold always looks so elegant and I have used this combination with the Lovely & Sweet Stamp set and dies.

I stamped the image from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set (#162617) with VersaMark (#102283) onto Basic Black card (#121688). I added the Gold Embossing Powder (#165678) and set this with the Heat Tool (#129056). The co-ordinating Lovely & Sweet die (#162626) was used to cut the image.

The gold paper from the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162616) was matted with Basic Black card. I wrapped the Gold Trim from the Gold & Silver 1/8” Trim Combo Pack (#161633) around the card front.

I cut the DSP from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393) with one of the Radiating Stitches dies (#161595) and this was also matted with Basic Black card then attached to the card front.

The sentiment from the Everyday Details stamp set (#162861) was stamped with VersaMark & Gold Embossing Powder. A Stylish Shapes Die (#159183) was used to cut the sentiment. This and the floral stamped image were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The retired Festive Pearls were added to the card.

Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack

Hello stamping Friends,

If you want something for a quick and easy card you can’t go past the Memories & More cards and the Ephemera packs, which I have used for today’s card.

I have used 2 of the cards from the Thoughtful Journey Memories & More Card pack (#163318). The larger card was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). The smaller card was matted with Blackberry Bliss card (#133682) and attached to the card.

The flowers & leaves are from the Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack (#163762). These ephemera packs have a great variety of pre-cut images in a variety of colours. This flower wasn’t coloured so I coloured it with Stampin’ Blends using Blackberry Bliss (#154877), Fresh Freesia (#155518) and Petunia Pop (#163828). I used Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends (#154902) on the leaves on the floral image and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends (#161673) for the flower centres. The larger leaves are also from the Ephemera pack.

The flowers were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The Purple Fine Shimmer Gems (#162611) are the embellishments used. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the flowers & leaves.

Thoughtful Journey Memories & More Card Pack

Hello & welcome friends,

The Thoughtful Journey Memories & More Card pack (#163318) is great for both Scrapbooking and cards. I have chosen 2 of the designs from the pack for this card. These also co-ordinate with the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (#163303) and the Thoughtful Wishes Bundle (#1633314). However I haven’t used the DSP and stamp set on this card.

I matted the 2 pieces from the card pack with Night Of Navy card (#106577) and attached these to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The Lost Lagoon card (#133686) and Crushed Curry card (#131288) were both backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), then cut with a die from the Thoughtful Wishes Dies (#163313). These were attached to the card.

“Happy Birthday” from the Magnolia Mood stamp set (#163502) was stamped with Night Of Navy ink (#147110). The sentiment & the Night Of Navy card under the sentiment were cut with Unbounded Love dies (#163383). This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The bird embellishments are from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds (#162743).
