Paper Tags stamp set

Hello friends,

I am always in need of masculine cards so here is one today.

I stamped the background with the Lasting Linen stamp (#167107) using Crumb Cake ink (#166787). This was matted with Mossy Meadow card (#133683) and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“It’s A Wonderful Day To Celebrate You” from the Paper Tags stamp set (#165454) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added the Copper powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was then cut with a die from the Just A Note dies (#166101). The edges were daubered with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111). This was attached to the card front.

The leaves were cut with a Charming Day die (#166135) and Lifetime Of Love dies (#162583), using Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772), Old Olive card (#106576) and Mossy Meadow card. These were all backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

“Happy Birthday” from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set (#164615) was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink and cut with a Beautiful Butterflies die (#164614). I attached this to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are from the Low Profile Sparkle Dots (#166157).

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).

Kintsugi Inspirations Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

We all have bits & pieces of Designer Series Paper, as we just might be able to use it one day. So here is an easy way of using some of these pieces.

I cut 5 pieces of the Kintsugi Inspirations Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165159), 2cm wide and 12cm long. I cut the V’s at each end with a retired Banners Pick A Punch.

I stamped the Basic White card front (#166781) with the splotches from the Elements Of Text stamp set (#164774) using Misty Moonlight ink (#153118), stamped off. The card front was matted with Misty Moonlight card (#153086) and attached to the Basic White base card. The finished card measures 14cmx14cm.

The sentiment from Beautiful Motifs stamp set (#165198) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). A die from the Stylish Shapes (#159183) was used to cut the sentiment.

The leaves were cut from Gold Foil sheets (#132622) using a Charming Day die (#166135). The Gold Foil was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The DSP was taped to the card and the sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The leaves were attached.

Beautiful Motifs dies

Hi friends,

I have used the Beautiful Motifs dies (#165205) again on today’s card, for the design on the background.

I used this die on the 4 corners of the Very Vanilla card front (#166785). This die doesn't cut the whole piece out, so creates a lovely design.

I used dies from the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183) to cut the squares from the Berry Burst card (#163802), Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) and the Very Vanilla card with the sentiment. The sentiment is from the Year Of Flowers stamp set (#165367) and I stamped this with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092).

The flowers and leaves were cut with the Charming Day dies (#166135). I used Blackberry Bliss card (#133682 ) and Berry Burst card for the flowers and Mossy Meadow card (#133683) for the leaves.

All the squares/diamonds were taped to the card. The flowers were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the leaves.

The butterflies are from the Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136). Clear wink Of Stella (#141897) added some glimmer to the flowers.

Charming Day dies

Hi again friends,

These beautiful die cut flowers are cut with the Charming Day dies (#166135).

I cut strips of the Poppy Parade Two-Tone cardstock (#166692) and glued them to a piece of Basic White card (#166781) using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). I alternated the dark & light colours. This was then cut with a Spotlight On Nature die (#163580).

The card front was dry embossed with the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder (#163789). The edges were daubered with Poppy Parade ink (#147050) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The circle was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

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.

Hi again everyone,

The Beautiful Gallery 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#165196) has a lovely range of “old world” designs from florals to landscapes. The plainer piece of DSP on the left is the back of the floral design.

I used a die from the Fancy Borders (#165380) to cut the leaves in the DSP. The 2 pieces of DSP were attached to the Mossy Meadow card (#133683). This was attached to the Basic Beige base card (#164512).

I cut 2 flowers with a die from the Charming Day dies (#166135). I daubered the edges with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111) and added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897). I attached these together with Mini Glue Dots (#103683), slightly offsetting them. These were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I cut the small leaves from Mossy Meadow card, using a Mixed Labels die (#164652). This card was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), making it easy to attach them to the card.

I also used Clear Wink Of Stella on these die cut leaves and the leaves cut from the Fancy Borders die.
