Somewhere In Time Designer Series Paper

Hello everyone & welcome,

This week on November 3rd there is a new release of products in the Online Exclusives, including the beautiful Somewhere In Time Designer Series Paper (#169851). This has a range of floral designs with a soft neutral palette in Basic Beige, Basic Black, Very Vanilla & White Willow. I have used 2 of the designs for this card.

I attached the 2 pieces of DSP to the Vanilla Textured Canvas Specialty Paper (#169774) and matted this with Real Red card (#106578). This was attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#166785).

The Butterfly is from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045) and I foiled this with Red Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170552) onto the Gold Paper from the Timeless Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168548). The co-ordinating cutting die was used to cut the butterfly.

I attached a strip of the Red Paper from the Timeless Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper to the card. The sentiment is from the Birthday Shoutout stamp set (#169840), also available this week. I stamped this with Real Red ink (#147084) using the Stampin’ Positioner (#167768) and restamped it with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Clear powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679) and heat it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment was cut with a cutting die from the Flourish & Frames Hot Foil Dies (#170064).

The butterfly & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Flower Accents (#165171) were attached to the card.

Notes Of Collage

Welcome again everyone,

The Notes of Collage bundle (169769) as well as the exclusive Collage Botanicals stamp set were used for a recent virtual card class. The Notes Of Collage bundle will be available to purchase in the November On Line Exclusives. The Collage Botanicals was only available for the virtual class. I have used all these on today’s card.

I stamped the image along the bottom of the Very Vanilla card front (#166785) with Crumb Cake ink (#147116) and the leaf on the right side with Peaceful Pine ink (#167679). These 2 images are from the Collage Botanicals stamp set.

I stamped a leaf from the Notes Of Collage stamp set (#169763) with Golden Glow ink (#167676) and cut this with the Notes Of Collage dies (#169768). I die cut another leaf from the set with Pecan Pie card (#161726) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

I used Golden Glow ink on a Blending Brush (#153611) to colour the background of the card front. I also added the “splashes” with Crumb Cake ink which was stamped off for the lighter finish. The Golden Glow die cut leaf was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Birthday Shoutout stamp set (#169840) - also available in November. This was stamped with Pecan Pie ink (#161665) and cut with a Notes Of Collage die. I also cut a piece of Pecan Pie card and offset it under the sentiment. This was also attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The card front was matted with Pecan Pie card and attached to the Very Vanilla base card. The embellishments are the Mosaic Adhesive-Backed dots (#169772) and also available in November.

Tile Garden Dies

Hello friends,

I have used the Tile Garden dies (#168573) for the square cut outs on today’s card. There are 12 different dies in a variety of sizes with 3 different designs around the edges. These also match with the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580).

There will be a new batch of Online Exclusives available in November, including the Birthday Shoutout stamp set (#169840) which has a range of sentiments for birthdays and other celebrations. I stamped the sentiment from this set with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) on Basic White card (#166781).

The card front is from the Mosaic Garden Designer Series Paper (#168566) and matted with Pretty Peacock card (#150886), then attached to the Basic White base card.

The Pretty Peacock card and Crisp Cantaloupe card (#167694) were cut with the dies and taped to the card. The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are from the Array Of Dots (#167559).
