Friendly Foliage Bundle

Hello fellow crafters,

I love the simplicity of the foliage in the Friendly Foliage stamp set (#167021), then when cut with the dies takes it to the next level. There are 2 dies to cut the foliage. You can just cut the outline image, or you can use a second die to cut the pieces around the leaves inside the frame, which is what I have done on this image.

I stamped the image and sentiment with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Copper powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The foliage was then cut with the Friendly Foliage dies (#167023) and the sentiment was punched with the Three Banner Punch (#167050).

I cut the Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper (#167082) and the Copper from the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772) with the Branching Out dies (#165775). I also matted another piece of DSP with the Copper Paper and attached it to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the foliage and the sentiment to the card. The Low Profile Dots (#164658) were added to the card.

Petals Of Beauty

Hello again friends,

The Petals Of Beauty Bundle (#167096) consists of the Petals Of Beauty stamp set (#167093) and Petals Of Beauty dies (#167095).

The flowers & leaves were cut using the dies. The background of the flower was cut with Basic White card (#166781), then I added some colour with a Blending Brush (#153611) with Calypso Coral ink (#147101). I used Calypso Coral card (#124392) for the detailed flower and Mossy Meadow card (#133683) and Old Olive card (#106576) for the leaves.

The 2 pieces of DSP are from the Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper (#167082) and matted with Calypso Coral card. This was attached to the Basic White base card.

The Mossy Meadow card for the detailed leaf was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). The Old Olive leaf was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

I stamped the sentiment from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) with Calypso Coral ink onto a label from the Foiled Frames & Labels Ephemera Pack (#165616). This was attached to the card.

The detailed flower was attached to the background flower with Mini Glue dots, then the flower was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the fine die cut flower. The embellishments are the Antique Pearls (#164679) which I coloured with the dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends (#154881).

Petals Of Beauty

Hi friends,

These flowers & leaves are from the Petals Of Beauty Bundle (#167096). The bundle consists of the Petals Of Beauty stamp set (#167093) and Petals Of Beauty dies (#167095).

I stamped the flowers with Calypso Coral ink (#147101). For the larger flower I used full strength ink for the outside and “stamped off” for the lighter colour. The flowers & leaves were cut with the dies. I used Old Olive card (#106576) for the leaves.

I dry embossed the Vellum Specialty Paper (#167099) with the Beautiful Pattern embossing folder (#167097) and matted it with the Calypso Coral card (#124392). The Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper (#167082) was also matted with Calypso Coral card then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The leaves and one small flower were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The other flowers were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the flowers and I added the white Hues Of Blue Flowers (#165930) to the flower centres.
