Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

I am still thinking of all those in the devastating flooded areas along the east coast of Australia. Hoping you are all safe and take care.

Todays card is an easy one using Designer Paper. You could choose any DSP for this card. I chose the Artfully Composed 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#157750).

I attached 2 of the designs from this pack onto Evening Evergreen card (#155575) and then this was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). I coloured the white side of one of the Heart & Home Doilies (#157956) using a Blending Brush (#153611) and Evening Evergreen ink (#155576).

I cut another piece of the same DSP with a label die from the Bloom Dies (#155989). This was taped to the card. The gold trim is from the Simply Elegant Trim (#155766). “Happy Birthday” is from the Flowing Flowers stamp set (#157880) and stamped with Evening Evergreen ink. I used a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820) to cut the sentiment, then attached it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The 3 embellishments are the (retired) Matt Decorative Dots.

TIP: The Heart & Home Doilies come in 3 colours - Basic Gray, Cinnamon Cider & Misty Moonlight. However you can have any colour by colouring the back of the doilies which is white. Just use Blending Brushes and any coloured ink.

Heart & Home Doilies

Hello friends,

The deluge of rain and flooding is continuing in the south east of Qld, so I hope everyone is safe. I am lucky to be well & truely out of flood level, so can occupy myself in the craft room.

I have stamped on one of the Heart & Home Doilies (#157956) using an image from the Friendly Hello stamp set (#158075). This is a set from Sale-a-bration which is continuing till 16th March in Australia.

I cut a circle from a post-it note with a Layering Circles Die (#151770) to make a mask about the size of the dotted area of the inside of the doily. I then placed the mask over the doily (see above) so when I stamped the image it only stamped on the solid area. I stamped the image with VersaMark (#102283), removed the mask, then added the White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

I stamped the splotches from the Colour & Contour stamp set (#154994) with Smoky Slate ink (#147113) onto the Basic White base card (#159228). I added a strip of Misty Moonlight card (#153086) to the card, then added a piece of the Home & Heart Designer Series Paper (#157928). I daubered the edges of the card front with Misty Moonlight ink (#153118).

The sentiment is from the Blessings Of Home stamp set (#157930) and stamped with Misty Moonlight ink. I used the Messages Die (#154422) to cut the sentiment. The doily was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The right side of the sentiment was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and a Mini Glue Dot (#103683) on the left of the sentiment, as the doily is already on Dimensionals.

The embellishments used are the Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220).

Sale-a-bration Friendly Hello

Hello again,

I am loving the Friendly Hello stamp set & Designer Series Paper (#159990) which is a Sale-a-bration product. Due to some delays with some of these products, Sale-a-bration is being extended for a few more weeks so there is still time to gets some free products with qualifying orders. The Friendly Hello set which includes the stamp set & DSP is free with a $180 order (in Australia). There are other products with $90 orders.

I stamped the bird & flower image twice with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Basic White card (#159228), then fussy cut the images. I coloured them with the following Stampin’ Blends - Daffodil Delight (#154883), Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Fresh Freesia (#155518), Pool Party (#154894), Pale Papaya (#155519), Granny Apple Green (#154885) and Crumb Cake (#154882).

I used the Stitched Greenery Die (#155451) for the stitching on the Basic White card front, then this was attached to the Pool Party card (#124391). The base card is also Basic White. The striped paper is from the Friendly Hello DSP.

I lightly coloured the white side of the Heart & Home Doilies (#157956) with Pool Party ink (#147107) and a Blending Brush (#153611). Best Wishes from the Art Gallery stamp set (#158201) was stamped with Pool Party ink (#147107) then cut with the Messages die (#154422). The sentiment and the bird & flowers on the left were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) for the image on the right. The Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#158130) were my choice of embellishment for this card.

TIP: The Messages die is one die but it has 18 different cut outs for a range of sentiments. There are 2 stamp sets which co-ordinate with the die or you can choose other sentiments and use the appropriate cut-out from this die.

Butterflies & Flowers Layering Masks

Hello & welcome,

I have used the background mask from the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Masks (#158142) using Blending Brushes (#153611) to achieve the “rainbow” effect. I think these are one of my favourite products from the mini catalogue, but I will probably say that about a lot of the products!! So many great ones.

The inks I used with the mask are Mint Macaron (#147106), So Saffron (#147109), Pool Party (#147107), Fresh Freesia (#155611) and Misty Moonlight (#153118). The Denim Ribbon (#149590) was wrapped around the card front, then the card front was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The bird and flowers from the Friendly Hello stamp set (#159990) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). This stamp set is a Sale-a-bration product. The bird was coloured with Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894), the flowers with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883), the leaves with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885), Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends (#154958) for the flower centres and the branch with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#154882). I cut this with a die from the Layering Circles Dies (#151770). I attached the circle to the Heart & Home Doilies (#157956) with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment, also from the Friendly Hello stamp set, was stamped with Misty Moonlight ink (#153118), then cut with a Sweet Hearts Die (#157623). Stampin’ Dimensionals were also used to attach this to the card. Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) was my choice of embellishments.

TIP: When using Blending Brushes you can achieve various depths of colours depending on how dark or light the ink is, and also how hard you press when using the brushes. I find it best to start light and slowly add extra colour till you get the desired results. Also after inking the brush, wipe some excess off onto a piece of scrap paper so you don’t have an unwanted dark area which can’t be fixed.
