Gathering Together Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

I have used 3 different “autumn” products on this card.

The card front is Basic White (#166781). I stamped the Etched Autumn background stamp (#166082) with VersaMark (#102283) and added the White Powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165679), which I set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This card was matted with Cajun Craze card (#121683) then attached to the Basic White base card.

The 2 designs of DSP are from the Gathering Together Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165969). I matted the Leafy DSP with Cajun Craze card. This and the other piece of DSP were taped to the card.

I stamped the leaf from the Artistic Leaves stamp set (#166162) with Cajun Craze ink (#147085) and Daffodil Delight ink (#147094). A Spotlight On Nature die (#163580) was used to cut the circle. This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#04430).

“Happy Birthday” from Beautiful Butterflies stamp set (#164608) was stamped with Cajun Craze ink and cut with a Textured Notes die (#165555).

Loveliest tree

Hello friends,

A quick & easy card today using the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) and Loveliest Tree dies (#163715).

The tree was stamped with Garden Green ink (#147089) and cut with the co-ordinating die. I used Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends (#161674) to colour the trunk of the tree.

“Happy Birthday” from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set (#164608) was also stamped with Garden Green ink, then cut with a Beautiful Butterflies die (#164614).

The card front and brown strips are from the Gathering Together Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165969). This was matted with Garden Green card (#108605) and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781). I daubered the edges of the tree & sentiment with Garden Green ink. These were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The small leaves were cut with the Loveliest Tree dies from Garden Green card backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

Joyful Tidings stamp set

Hi everyone,

The Joyful Tidings stamp set (#165944) was used for the stamping on this card.

I stamped the wreath with VersaMark (#102283) and added Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084).

The 3 circles were cut with the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580). The larger circle was cut from the Gold from the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772). I also used this gold paper to matt the Gathering Together Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165969). To use this gold specialty paper very efficiently, I cut the circle from the centre of the square piece of gold. Of course this piece cut out is covered by the DSP.

The circles were taped together, then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). A Traditional Sparkling Sequin (#165875) was attached to the sentiment. The base card is Basic White (#166781).

With You In Mind

Hello friends,

The With You In Mind stamp set (#164747) has 4 larger sentiments - Happy Birthday, Best Wishes, Thank You and Thinking Of You, which are sentiments I use regularly so a very handy stamp set.

I stamped the sentiment with VersaMark (#102283) and used the Copper Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). A Stylish Shapes die (#159183) was used to cut the circle.

The card front from the Gathering Together 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165969) was attached to the Shade Spruce card (#147006) and only showing 2 sides. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I stamped the floral & leaf images from the Extraordinary Flora Stamp set (#165243) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card. This was cut with the co-ordinating Extraordinary Flora die (#165244). The leaves were coloured with Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends (#154903). For the flowers I used Blackberry Bliss (#154877) and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883).

The leaves were cut with a variety of dies - the larger leaves from Thankful Garden (#165533), and the small ones from the Year Of Flowers (#165374). The cardstock used for the leaves is Shaded Spruce, Shy Shamrock (#163796), Daffodil Delight (#121680) and Pecan Pie (#161726).

The larger leaves were attached using Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the smaller leaves were backed with Adhesive Sheets (#152334). The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the stamped & coloured flowers & leaves were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and Mini Glue Dots. The embellishments are from the retired Tinsel Gems Three pack.

Gathering Together Specialty Designer Series Paper

hello friends,

A sneak peek of some new designer series paper which will be available from the Online Exclusives from 3rd September. This gorgeous paper is Gathering Together 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165969). This paper has a Champagne Foil on one side of the designs.

There is a great range of new products from 3rd September both in the new September - December catalogue and the Online Exclusives, including Christmas products.

The 2 pieces of DSP were matted with Early Espresso card (#121686). The card front was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781) and the smaller piece was attached to the card front.

“Best Wishes” from With You In Mind stamp set (#164747) was stamped with Early Espresso ink (#147114). The sentiment and Gold Foil (#132622) were cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183).

The leaf from the Artistic Leaves stamp set (#166162) was stamped with Cajun Craze ink (#147085). This is a Two-Step stamp, so for the second stamped image I used Cajun Craze using the stamped off method. The leaf was fussy cut.

The Gold circle and the leaf were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are the Flower Accents (#165171).
