Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

The Designer Series Paper used for the background of this card is from the Pretty Prints DSP (#159245).

I cut strips of this DSP and glued it to a piece of Basic White card (#159228), using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). This was then matted with Gold Foil (#132622) and attached to the Basic White base card.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763). This is definitely my go to stamp set for greetings at the moment with different size words  and fonts of popular greetings. I stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) and used Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) which of course was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I used a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820) to cut the sentiment. This was taped to the card.

I used a Honeybee Blooms die (#157951) to cut the leafy piece from the Gold Foil backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The beautiful Brush Brass Butterflies (#158136) were added to the card.

Friendly Hello & Honeybee Home

Hello friends,

I have combined the Friendly Hello stamp set (#159990) with the Honeybee Home stamp set (#157943) for this card.

I stamped the leaves from the Friendly Hello stamp set onto Basic White card (#159228) using Just Jade ink (#153115). Then I dry embossed this with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (#152718). This was matted with Pale Papaya card (#155669) then attached to the Basic White base card.

The 2 larger flowers from the Friendly Hello stamp set and the smaller flowers from the Honeybee Home stamp set were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The 2 larger flowers were fussy cut and the small flowers were cut with the Honeybee Blooms Dies (#157951). All the flowers were coloured with Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends (#155519) and the leaves with Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends (#155521). 

The Gold trim from the Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was attached to the card front and the flowers were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The sentiment is also from the Friendly Hello stamp set and stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, then cut with a die from the Ornate Frames (#150664). This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Adhesive Backed Hexagons (#158148) were added to the card. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used on all the flowers to add that bit of sparkle.

TIP: When stamping and dry embossing on the same piece of card, it is usually best to stamp first, then emboss. If you emboss first you won’t get the best stamping image. However I have very occasionally embossed first for a different effect, depending on the stamp. It’s always worth experimenting.
