Swirled Designs

Hello again,

I am using the Swirled Designs Bundle (#167311) today, which is retiring, so available from the Last Chance products. The bundle consists of the Swirled Designs stamp set (#167030) and the Swirled Designs dies (#167032).

The splotches from the stamp set were stamped with “stamped off” Crumb Cake ink (#147116). I then dry embossed this with the retired Exposed Brick Embossing Folder. I used the Earthen Toned Specialty Paper (#165901) to matt the card front and attached it to the Very Vanilla base card (#166785).

The “diamonds” were also cut from this specialty paper which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) using the Swirled Designs dies.

The puppies are from the Cutest Crew stamp set (#167146). These were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Crumb Cake (#154882), Smoky Slate (#154904), Pecan Pie (#161674), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Real Red (#154899), Bubble Bath (#161675) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). The puppies were cut with a Cutest Crew die (#167148).

The sentiment is also from the Cutest Crew stamp set and stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added Copper powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I matted the sentiment with the Earthen Toned Specialty Paper, then this and the puppies were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Pressed Flower Motifs (#165215) were added to the card.

Words & Wishes dies

Hello friends,

For this cute card I have used retiring products, current products and new products available from 5th March.

The cats from the Cutest Crew stamp set (#167146) are stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and cut with the co-ordinating Cutest Crew die (#167148). I then fussy cut each of the cats, as the die cuts all the cats in one piece. The cats were coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Crumb Cake (#154882), Smoky Slate (#154904) and Golden Glow (#167682).

“Happy Birthday Wishes” are cut with the Words & Wishes dies (#167894) from Petunia Pop card (#163802) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The card front is from the Pastels Shimmer Specialty Paper (#167198) and I dry embossed this with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder (#167097). The card front was matted with Petunia Pop card and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781). The cats were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimenensionals (#144108). The (retired) Brushed Brass Butterflies were added to complete the card.

Hello & welcome,

How cute are these puppies from the Cutest Crew Bundle (#167149). There are also kittens & birds included in the set which are all very cute.

This image was cut with the co-ordinating Cutest Crew die (#167148).

The card front is from the Wood Grain Wonder Designer Series Paper (#167428) and matted with Pecan Pie card (#161726) then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The 3 strips of Pecan Pie card were also cut with the dies and attached using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Virtual Card Making Retreat stamp set (#170026) and stamped with Pecan Pie ink (#161665). A Paradise Garden die (#167120) was used to cut the sentiment. I cut the “V” at each end by hand.
