All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

I always have bits & pieces of designer series paper, so I have used pieces from the All About Autumn Specialty Designer Paper (#162178) for this card.

I cut one piece with a die from the Countryside Corners dies (#161471) and a piece of Pretty Peacock card (#150886) was also cut with the next size larger die. These pieces were taped together.

I dry embossed the Very Vanilla card front (#106550) with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#162189). I attached a piece of the DSP to the left side of the card front then attached the die cut pieces. Another strip of the DSP was attached across the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430), then the sentiment was taped on top.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Garden Meadow stamp set (#162736) and stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083). This was also cut with a Countryside Corners die.

The butterfly is from the Enchanted Butterfly stamp set (#161279). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the butterfly to the card.

The card front was daubered with Pretty Peacock ink then attached to the Very Vanilla card base.

All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi my friends,

The designer paper used on this card is from the All About Autumn 6”x6” Specialty Designer Series Paper ($162178). There is a beautiful range of designs suitable for a range of cards and includes copper foil on the geometric designs.

I attached the 2 pieces of DSP to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550). For the leaves I randomly added colours to a piece of card using Blending Brushes (#153611). The inks used are Old Olive (#147090), Pecan Pie (#161665), Daffodil Delight (#147094) and Pumpkin Pie (#147086). The leaves were cut with a die from the Autumn Leaves Dies (#162185). These were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Thinking of You” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink, then cut with a Something Fancy die (#160424). This was also attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I always say it is so easy to make a quick & easy card with such beautiful Designer Series Papers.

The Stampin’ Blends used to colour this are Daffodil Delight (#154883), Granny Apple Green (#154885) and Pecan Pie (#161674). I used a Deckled Rectangles die (#159173) to cut this. The edges were daubered with Pecan Pie ink.

Countryside Corner Dies

Hi my stamping friends,

I really do love dies whether they co-ordinate with a stamp set or are stand alone ones, so I have used a variety on this card.

The Base card and card front are Very Vanilla (#106550). The next 3 layers are cut with the Countryside Corners dies (#161471). The back layer is from the All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162178). The next layer is Pretty Peacock card (#150886) which I dry embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#162189). Then using 2 of the dies I cut a “frame” from the Oxidized Copper Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162190).

I stamped the flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (#161140) with VersaMark (#102283) and used Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) which I set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with the Irresistible Blooms die (#161149).

The Rose Gold Specialty Paper (#159139) was used for the die cut leaves. The dies are from the Cheerful Daisies dies (#161296) and the Timeless Arrangements dies (#161525).

I stamped the leaves are from the Autumn Leaves stamp set (#162179) with Lost Lagoon ink (#161678). These leaves and the other green leaves were cut with the Autumn Leaves dies (#162185). For the green leaves I used the Lost Lagoon from the Soft Shimmer Paper Combo Pack (#161750).

The flower was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves were all attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Radiant Light stamp set

Hell again my friends,

There are so many beautiful Christmas products in the new mini catalogue, I know you will want to get your hands on them. This candle image is from the Radiant Light stamp set (#162111).

I stamped the candles with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Basic White card (#158228). This was coloured with the following Stampin’ Blends - Daffodil Delight (#154883), Granny Apple Green (#154885) and Shaded Spruce (#154903). I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the candles & flames. For the berries I used the Real Red from the Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics (#156310). This will take a bit of time to dry so best to do this last and put the card aside. I cut this and the Daffodil Delight card (#121680) with a Nested Essentials die (#161597).

The Daffodil Delight card front was dry embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (#162026). I attached a piece of the All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162178) to the card, then attached the matted stamped image with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Merry Christmas” from the Stars At Night stamp set (#162000) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) and then cut with another Nested Essentials die. Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the sentiment.

Enchanted Butterfly stamp set

Hello lovely friends,

I am using the gorgeous All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162178) again today along with the Enchanted Butterfly stamp set (#161279).

I matted the DSP with Pretty Peacock card (#150886) and attached it to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550). I cut another piece of Pretty Peacock card and Very Vanilla card with a Deckled Rectangles die #159173). I used one of the Brilliant Backgrounds dies (#161591) on the Pretty Peacock card. I then attached this to the Very Vanilla card so you can see the Very Vanilla through the holes. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I stamped the flower & leaves from the Enchanted Butterfly stamp set. I used Moody Mauve ink (#161649) for the flower and Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) for the leaves and I stamped off to get a lighter colour. The flower & leaves were fussy cut. The leaves were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) & Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) for the flower.

The sentiment is from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) and stamped with Pretty Peacock ink. A Stylish Shapes die (#159183) was used to cut this. Stampin’ Dimensioanls were also used to attach the sentiment. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add some glitter to the flower.
