Forever & Always Bundle

Welcome again my friends,

I’m having a break from the retiring products today, although the Designer Series Paper, Oval dies and ribbon are retiring.

The Designer Series Paper is Artistry Blooms (#152495). The detailed die cut was cut using the Flowering Vine Dies (#154332) from Basic White card (#159228). This was glued to the DSP with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). I wrapped the Silver Metallic-Edged Ribbon (#144213) around the card front, then attached the card front to the Basic White card base.

The flowers from the Forever & Always stamp set (#154343) were stamped with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094), Poppy Parade ink (#147050) and Highland Heather ink (#147103). These were cut with the co-ordinating Always Dies (#154307). 

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) and stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). I cut the ovals using the Layering Ovals Dies (#151771). The sentiment and the yellow & mauve flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897) was used to add glitter to the flowers. The Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) were added to finish the card.

Have a great weekend.

Lacy Petals Dies

Hello friends,

How Gorgeous are these Lacy Petals Dies (#154328) to make this beautiful “flower”.

I dry embossed the Very Vanilla card (#106550) using the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (#152702). I attached the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper (#152495) to the Very Vanilla Card, then this was attached to the Crushed Curry card (#131288). I wrapped the Gold Metallic-Edge Ribbon (#144146) around the card front before attaching this to the Very Vanilla base card.

I used the Pearlescent Specialty Paper (#154291) for the 3 layers of the “flower”. The edges of the petals were lightly sponged with Crushed Curry ink (#147087). I attached the middle layer to the card with a Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430) in the centre of the flower. The petals for the bottom layer are separate pieces so I tucked each of these under the middle layer and they were attached using Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The top layer was also attached with Mini Glue Dots.

The sentiment is from the Delicate Petals stamp set (#154475). This was stamped with Crushed Curry ink and cut with an Ornate Frames Die (#150664) and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added Wonderful Gems to the centre of the flower and to the cardfront.

Don’t forget that Sale-a-bration finishes at the end of February. So if you are placing a $90 order before then you have a free product to choose.

Have a great day!!

Ornate Style Bundle

Hi and welcome again everyone,

I love the Ornate Style Bundle (#c154119) which includes the Ornate Style stamp set (#c152572) and the Ornate Layers Dies (#152726) and used on todays card.

I stamped the floral image using VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with the White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109132) onto the Whisper White card (#106549). This was then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I coloured the image with the following Stampin’ Blends - Granny Apple Green (#154885), Highland Heather (#154887), Purple Posy (#154896) and Rococo Rose (#154900). I then cut this with an Ornate Layering Die.

The Designer Series Paper is from the Artistry Blooms pack (#152495) and I dry embossed this with the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (#152702). Doesn’t the Ombré effect on the DSP look great.

I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the die-cut to the DSP. The sentiment is from the Comfort & Hope stamp set (#c152509), stamped with Highland Heather ink (#147103)  and cut with an Ornate Frames Die (#150664). This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I hope your weekend has been a fun one.

Ornate Style stamp set

Hi my friends,

Don’t you love it when you have something in mind and it turns out just as you imagined, or sometimes even better. This is what happened with this card and as usual looks much better in real life. I love the subtle colours in the floral image with the ombré effect for the background.

I stamped the floral image from the Ornate Style stamp set (#152572) onto Whisper White card (#106549). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109132) which of course needs to be set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I coloured the image with the following Stampin’ Blends - Granny Apple Green (#154885), So Saffron (#154905), Mango Melody (#154888), Flirty Flamingo (#154884) and Purple Posy (#154896). When colouring with the stampin’ blends, the white emboss resists the colouring, so you still have the subtle white embossed image.

This white card was cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820) and attached to the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper (#152495).

The Snowflake Splendor 1/4” Ribbon (#153548) was wrapped around the card front and a bow was also made with the ribbon. The bow was attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The card front was attached to the Whisper White base card.

“Happy Birthday” from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (#146667) was stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) and punched with the Classic Label punch (#141491). Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach this to the card.

I added some shimmer to the flowers using the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) then finished the card with the Pearl Basic Jewels (#144219).

Have a great weekend.

Designer Series Paper

Welcome friends,

We all love our designer series paper, so till the end of October there are a variety of designer papers on sale so a great opportunity to stock up. Check them out here.

One of the packs is the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper (#152495) which I have used on the background of this card. I love the vibrant colours on one side and the softer colours on the reverse of this pack.

The DSP was attached to the Whisper White base card (#106549). I attached the beautiful gold foil pre-cut card front from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (#152493) to the DSP. I find the easiest way to attach this gold foil is to add tape where it will be hidden under the sentiment and stamped image. 

The elephants are from the Wildly Happy stamp set (#149408) and I stamped these with the Gray Granite ink (#147118). I added some extra colour to the elephants with the Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#154882) and Light Granny Apple Green (#154885) for the grass. A die from the Tasteful Labels Dies (#152886) was used to cut the stamped image. “Happy Birthday” from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (#146667) was stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) and punched with the Classic Label punch (#141491). The sentiment and elephants were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The weekend is here once again, so hope you can have a crafty one!!
