Nests Of Winter Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

The beautiful Nests Of Winter Designer Series Paper (#164183) is where you will find these birds on the branches.

I cut the birds with the now retired Winterly Tree Tops dies. If you don’t have these, this image is easy to fussy cut. The leaves are cut with the Charming Day dies (#166135) using Shaded Spruce card (#147006) and Summer Splash card (#163798). Both these cards were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The Daffodil Delight Card (#121680) was dry embossed with the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder (#164069) and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I cut a piece of Basic White card and Bright Copper from the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772) with a die from the Impressions Abloom dies (#165610). I stamped the grass from the Prairie Grass stamp set (#166168) with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) onto the white card. This card was taped to the card front and the Copper frame was glued with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

The birds were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments from the Low Profile Sparkle Dots (#166157).

Impressions Abloom

Hello friends,

I am using a mix of products for todays card, including the Impressions Abloom dies (#165610) for the flowers & leaves.

The large flower was cut from Strawberry Slush card (#165297) and the leaves from Garden Green card (#108605). For the centre of the large flower I used Darling Duckling card (#165294) and for the small flowers I used Blackberry Bliss card (#133682) and Fresh Freesia card (#155614).

“Thinking Of You” is from the Layered Thoughts stamp set (#165346). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). “Thinking” was stamped onto one of the labels from the Foiled Frames & Labels Ephemera Pack (#165616). This pack has a range of labels in a variety of shapes & sizes.

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#166781) with the Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder (#165614). I attached a piece of the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper (#165603) to the card front, then matted this with Strawberry Slush card. The base card is Basic White.

The sentiments & large flowers were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The flower centre, leaves & small flowers were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Impressions Abloom

Hello again friends,

I have used the Impressions Abloom dies (#165601) for the die cut flowers & leaves on this card. The dies from this set also cut out some of the images from the stamp set, so there are lots of options with this set.

The floral DSP and the DSP for the banner are from the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper (#165603). I matted the card front with Night Of Navy card (#106577) and cut the banner with a die from the Nested Essentials (#161597). I used a smaller die to cut the Night Of Navy card which I attached under the larger banner.

The card for the flowers & leaves are Fresh Freesia (#155614), Night Of Navy and Old Olive (#106576). The leaves & Night Of Navy flower was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the Fresh Freesia flower with a Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430).

“Happy Birthday” from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set (#164608) was stamped with Night Of Navy ink (#147110) and cut with the More Messages die (#165472). This was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are the Riverside Irregular Pearls (#164937). I also added glimmer to the flowers with Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).
