True Love Designer Series Paper with Stampin’ Blends

Hello friends,

After fussy cutting these flowers from the True Love Designer Series Paper (#154281), I coloured them with Stampin’ Blends.

The colours used are Granny Apple Green (#154885), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Highland Heather (#154887) and Poppy Parade (#154958). 

The base card is Basic White (#159228), with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) as the next layer. I used one of the dies from the Ornate Layers Dies (#152726) to cut the detailed border at the top & bottom of the Basic White card front.

I cut a circle using a Layering Circles Die (#151770) and then dry embossed this with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder (#152725). I attached a Gold Hoop Embellishment (#152474) to the circle using Mini Glue Dots (#103683), making sure these would be under the flowers and sentiment so as not to be visible.

The sentiment is from the Many Messages stamp set (#154510) and cut with the Messages Die (#154422). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129), and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I lightly daubered the edge of the sentiment with Crumb Cake ink (#147116).

The flowers and sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the card was completed by adding the (retired) Wonderful Gems.

Enjoy whatever you are doing today!!

Gold Cards & Envelopes

Hello & welcome friends,

When you want a card for a special occasion look no further than these beautiful Gold Cards & Envelopes (#153532). These Very Vanilla cards have a beautiful gold border so you can decorate it as you wish. They come with metallic gold envelopes.

I cut the Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) with a die from the Nature’s Thoughts Dies (#153586). I wrapped the Snowflake Splendor 1/4” Ribbon (#153548) around the Soft Sea Foam card. “Celebrate” from the Many Mates stamp set (#c152633) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was then cut with an Ornate Frames Die (#150664) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

I attached the Gold Hoop Embellishment (#152474) using Mini Glue Dots (#103683) where they will be covered with the flower. I also added a couple of dots of the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309) under the hoop at the top. The leaves are from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (#152493) and attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots.

The Daisy from Daisy Lane stamp set (#c149325) was also Gold heat embossed. I stamped 2 flowers and when assembling I offset the petals. These were attached with Mini Glue Dots, then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

The gold Wonderful Gems (#153536) were added to the card and flower centre.

I hope you are having a great weekend.

Forever Fern Bundle

Hi friends,

It is very frustrating when you have an idea for a card and it just doesn’t work the way you imagined it. However when you change your ideas and get a lovely result it is all worth the effort. That’s what happened with this card and I love the lovely subtle colours.

The leaves and “berries” are from the Forever Ferns stamp set (#152559) and stamped with Highland Heather ink (#147103) and Pool Party ink (#147107). These were cut with the co-ordinating dies from the Forever Flourishing Dies (#152714). I stamped the background with the splotches from the Forever Fern stamp set, using VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The Whisper White card (#106549) was attached to the Highland Heather card (#147010). The Snowflake Splendor 1/4” Ribbon (#153548) was wrapped around this card, before attaching it to the Whisper White base card. “Thanks” is from the Ornate Thanks stamp set (#149471) and stamped with Highland Heather ink and cut with a Celebration Labels Die (#153570). The Gold Hoop (#152474) was attached to the card front with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the leaves, berries and sentiment. The bow was attached with a Mini Glue Dot and the Gilded Gems (#152478) were attached to the base of the card.

Have a great day.

Last A Lifetime

Hi everyone,

Isn’t the Magenta Madness such a vibrant colour and I have only used a small amount on this card.

The base card and card front are Very Vanilla card (#106549). I cut the Magenta Madness card (#153085) with the Ornate Borders Dies (#152724). This was attached to the Very Vanilla card which was dry embossed with one of the Meadow Moments embossing folder (#153126). The Ribbon is Magenta Madness 2020-2022 In Color 1/4” Ribbon (#153623). I attached the Gold Hoop Embellishment (#152474) with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) in a place where they would be covered. The leaves from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (#152493) were also attached with Mini Glue Dots. I stamped the floral image from the Last A Lifetime stamp set (#c151479) with VersaMark (#102283) and sprinkled it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was then cut with the co-ordinating die from the Lasting Elegance Dies (#151475). This was then coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Magenta Madness (#153106), Granny Apple Green (#154885) and Mango Melody (#154888). I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach this to the card. “Celebrate” is from the Many Mates stamp set (#c152633) and stamped with Magenta Madness ink (#153117). I cut the sentiment with an Ornate Frames die (#150664) and added the Gold Metallic Trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (#152475). This was also attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. 

Enjoy whatever it is you are doing today.

Color Velveteen Paper Pack

Hi and welcome again,

The Color Velveteen Paper Pack (#153557) consists of 3 colors of soft flock paper - Cinnamon Cider, Highland Heather and Soft Sea Foam. I have used the Highland Heather for the daisy.

I punched with the Daisy Punch (#143713) twice and the Medium Punch (#149517) twice. I daubered around each petal with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and assembled the flower using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). I dry embossed the Purple Posy card (#150887) with the beautiful Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (#152702) and this was attached to the Gorgeous Grape card (#147011). The base card is Whisper White (#106549). The gold leaf is from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (#152493) and attached the the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I glued the Gold Hoop (#152474) using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue by sponging the glue onto the back of the hoop. Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the daisy to the card. The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (#151331) and stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and cut with a Tasteful Labels Die (#152886). Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the sentiment. The Gilded Gems (#152478) were added to finish the card.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Greenery Embossing Folder

Hello & welcome friends,

I have just received this new Greenery embossing folder (#152716) which is one of 2 folders in the set so couldn’t wait to use it on a card. These folders are narrower than the normal embossing folders. They measure 8.6cm x 15.9cm and I still didn’t use the whole width of the folder on this card.

I have used Whisper White card (#106549) for all the elements. The flowers and leaves are from the Forever Blossoms stamp set (#151457). I used Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052) for the flowers and Granny Apple Green ink (@147095) for the leaves. These were cut with the co-ordinating Cherry Blossoms dies (#151456). I wrapped the gorgeous metallic gold trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (#152475) around the card front, then added the Gold Hoop Embellishment (#152474) using Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to adhere it to the card. I ensured the dots would be hidden under the flowers. The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves with Mini Glue Dots. I added the Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#151193) to the flowers sentiment and card. “Thanks You” is from the Blossoms In Bloom stamp set (#p152684) and stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink. This was cut with the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch (#152883). This punch allows you to punch 6 different labels, which can be layered, and cut any length you require to suit a variety of sentiments, so very versatile.

Have a crafty weekend!!
