Alphabet A La Mode Dies

Hello friends,

I have been asked to make a quantity of Birthday & Thank You cards so here is an easy Thank You card.

The DSP is from the beautiful Splash Of Sparkles Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167200) and this was matted with Azure Afternoon card (#161728), then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I also used Azure Afternoon card backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to cut the letters with the Alphabet A La Mode dies (#160750).

Using dies from the Delicate Framing dies (#167026), I cut the string of delicate leaves and the flowers. Silver Foil Sheet (#163387) backed with Adhesive Sheet was used for the leaves and Azure Afternoon card & Bubble Bath card (#161727) for the flowers. The flowers were attached together with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) then attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Charming Day Bundle

Hello stamping friends,

I am using the Charming Day Bundle (#166136) again for the floral image on today’s card. Yes it is currently one of my favourites.

I used Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) to stamp the floral image from the Charming Day stamp set (#166126). I coloured it with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883), Azure Afternoon Stampin’ Blends (#161672), Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends (#154830) and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends (#154902). I added some Glimmer with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897). A die from the Charming Day Bundle dies (#166135) was used to cut the image.

“Happy Birthday” from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) was stamped with Azure Afternoon ink (#161663). I cut the circles for the sentiment and the Azure Afternoon card with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183). I used the silver Metallic Rub-Ons (#165270) on the Azure Afternoon circle and sentiment.

The card front is one of the designs from the Irresistible Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165305). This was lightly coloured with Azure Afternoon ink and a Blending Brush (#153611) which brings out the design on the card. The card front was matted with Azure Afternoon card and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“80” was cut using the Alphabet A La Mode dies (#160750) and I used the blue from the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper (#165929) which I had backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), and makes it easy to attach the fine numbers to the card.

The 2 circles were taped to the card and the floral image was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Traditional Sparkling Sequins (#165875) were added.

Scrapbook page

Hello everyone,

I had a chance to do some scrapbooking today which is rare. No stamping, just some dies and designer paper.

I cut 4cm squares of some retired DSP and taped them around the border of the 12”x12” Willow White card (3166703).

The photos were attached to the Night Of Navy card (#106577) and attached to the Gold Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772), then taped to the page.

The flowers from the Charming Day dies (#166135) were cut from Night Of Navy card and attached to the page with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The numbers and letters are also cut from the Night Of Navy card, but this was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), making it easy to attach them to the page. The numbers are from the Alphabet A La Mode dies (#160750) and the letters are from the Mini Alphabet dies (#162934).

Lights Of Aurora Designer Series Paper

Hello again friends,

A super easy card today as I wanted to highlight the beautiful Lights Of Aurora 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#165755).

I matted the designer paper with Silver Foil Sheet (#163387). If you are wanting to save your paper especially the specialty papers, remove the middle for another project, as you are only needing a small border to matt the DSP.

I did this, then adhered Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to the back of the Silver Foil which I removed from the centre and cut the letters using the Alphabet A La Mode dies (#160750). These were attached to the card front.

“Birthday” is from the Blooming Phrases stamp set (#165523) and I stamped this with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138). I fussy cut this and attached it to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The card front was attached to the Blueberry Bushel base card (#146991).

Simple Scrapbooking

Hi friends,

Another simple double page scrapbook layout, this time using the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper (#164700). I usually find the plainer designs on the reverse of the DSP is great for scrapbooking.

The Alphabet A La Mode dies (#160750) were used to cut the letters for the title. I used Basic Black card (#121688) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) and attached them to the page.

The leaves are cut using the Charming Day Dies (#166135). I used Granny Apple Green card (#147014) and Pecan Pie card (#161726), both backed with Adhesive Sheet.

The photos were matted with Basic Black card and taped to the pages and the leaves were attached.

Scrapbook page

Hi friends,

Today Peter & I celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary so I did a scrapbook page for this very special occasion.

The background page is from the Every Happiness Designer Series Paper (#166632). The photos were double matted with Night Of Navy card (#106577) and Cherry Cobbler card (#121681).

The flowers from the Enduring Beauty stamp set (#162670) were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added the Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056), then cut with the Enduring Beauty die (#162672).

All the letters, hearts and gold leaves are cut from Gold Foil Sheets (#132622) which were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), making them easy to attach to the page. The dies used are the Mini Alphabet (#162934), Birthday Celebration dies (#164598), the Alphabet A La Mode (#160750) and the Enduring Beauty dies (for the leaves)

The detailed heart is from the already retired Heart Shapes dies. The small hearts are cut with the Adoring Hearts dies (#162569).

The retiring products are Adoring Hearts dies and the Enduring Beauty stamp set & dies.

Scrapbook pages

Hi friends,

Yesterday I celebrated my 70th Birthday, so here is a double scrapbook layout with some of my lovely card ladies. I have used 3 laser cut elements from the Wildflower Celebrations Scrapbooking Workshop Kit (#166623).

All the photos were matted with Blueberry Bushel card (#146991). The background pages are from the Everyday Happiness 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#166632).

The photos, balloons, flowers and cupcake were taped to the pages.

“70” is cut with dies from the Birthday Celebration dies (#164598). “Happy Birthday” was cut with the Alphabet A La Mode dies (#160750). These Alphabet A La Mode dies are currently part of Sale-a-bration and free with a $100 order (in Australia), which is fantastic value. For the numbers & letters I used Blueberry Bushel card backed with Adhesive Sheets (#152334). I glued the embellishments from the Itty Bitty Bokeh Mix (#164618) to the pages with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

My scrapbook pages are all about the photos with a small amount of embellishments.
