Noel Tidings Bundle

Hi again everyone,

For today’s Christmas card I have used the Noel Tidings Bundle (#168458) which includes the Noel Tidings stamp set (#1684490 and Noel Tidings dies (#168457).

I cut the Pretty Peacock card (#150886) and Lost Lagoon card (#133686) for the wreaths with a Noel Tidings die. These were attached to the Neutral Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168448) with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The card front was attached to the Cherry Cobbler base card (#121681).

The berries and pinecones are from the Noel Tidings stamp set. I stamped the berries with Secret Sea ink (#165285) onto Cherry Cobbler card. The pinecones were stamped with Pecan Pie ink (#161665) onto Very Vanilla card (#166785). The bow from the Elegantly Wrapped stamp set (#168474) was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083) and cut with a die from the Elegantly Wrapped dies (#168480).

“Seasons Greetings” is from the Noel Tidings stamp set and also stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink and cut with a Noel Tidings die.

The berries were attached with Mini Glue Dots, and I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) for the sentiment, bow & pinecones.

Glow Of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi again friends,

A quick & easy card today using the beautiful Glow Of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168598) which is a Product Of The Month and still available while stocks last.

The DSP was attached to the Cajun Craze card (#121683) then attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#16785).

The sentiment and bow are from the Elegantly Wrapped stamp set (#168474) and stamped with Cajun Craze ink (#147085). The bow was cut with the co-ordinating die from the Elegantly Wrapped dies (#168480). The sentiment and the Cajun Craze “diamonds” were cut with the Tile Garden dies (#168573).

The Cajun Craze die cuts were taped to the card and the sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The bow was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

I used the Clear Wink of Stella (#141897) on the bow to add some glimmer.

I will be away for the next week so may not get a chance to post any cards but will be back again as soon as possible.

Elegantly Wrapped Bundle

Hello everyone,

The latest catalogue is now available so I have used some of the products on today’s card.

I stamped the bow from the Elegantly Wrapped stamp set (#168474) using VersaMark (#102283) and Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) on Poppy Parade card (#121694). This was cut with a die from the Elegantly Wrapped dies (#168480).

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Swirls Of Magic Embossing Folder (#168179), then matted with Poppy Parade card and attached to the Basic White base card.

The 2 squares are cut with the Tile Garden dies (#168573) from Garden Poetry Designer Series Paper (#167113). These were taped together.

I used a die from the Bordered In Beauty dies (#167550) to cut the Gold Foil (#132622) “ribbons” and these were attached to the “present” with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) using Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (#170066). This is using the Negative foil with the Reverse Hot Foil Dies (#170043). When I do any hot foiling, I then do the negative image so I will always have lots of spare foiled pieces ready to use. “Happy Birthday was cut with the co-ordinating cutting die from the set.

I find when using the reverse image, I get the best results using smoother papers. Basic White, White Willow and Two-Tone card all give great results. The shine on the foil made this hard to photograph but the gold foiling is not mottled as it appears on this photo.

The ribbon and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I made my own embellishments using the excess gold hot foil from around the sentiment. These were cut with a die from the Noel Tidings dies (#168457) and attached with Mini Glue Dots.
