Kintsugi Inspirations Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello again,

Today I am highlight the Kintsugi Inspirations Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165159). One of the designs are vases and flowers already printed and ready to cut with the Inspiring Imperfections Dies (#165166), which I have used for this card.

The card front is also from this DSP and I matted it with the Gold Foil (#132622) which I had dry embossed with the Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder (#165170). This was then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“With Love” is from the Thankful Garden stamp set (#165526). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). The Heat Tool (#129056) was used to set the powder. A Traditional Labels die (#165864) was used to cut the sentiment.

The vases, flower and sentiment were attached to the card with tape & Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to the card.

I always say if you want a quick & easy card, look no further than Designer Series Paper.

Kintsugi Inspirations Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

We all have bits & pieces of Designer Series Paper, as we just might be able to use it one day. So here is an easy way of using some of these pieces.

I cut 5 pieces of the Kintsugi Inspirations Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165159), 2cm wide and 12cm long. I cut the V’s at each end with a retired Banners Pick A Punch.

I stamped the Basic White card front (#166781) with the splotches from the Elements Of Text stamp set (#164774) using Misty Moonlight ink (#153118), stamped off. The card front was matted with Misty Moonlight card (#153086) and attached to the Basic White base card. The finished card measures 14cmx14cm.

The sentiment from Beautiful Motifs stamp set (#165198) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). A die from the Stylish Shapes (#159183) was used to cut the sentiment.

The leaves were cut from Gold Foil sheets (#132622) using a Charming Day die (#166135). The Gold Foil was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The DSP was taped to the card and the sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The leaves were attached.

Cheers & Sips Bundle

Hi friends,

A 3rd card with another piece of the Kintsugi Inspirations Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165159) from the “One Sheet Wonder”.

I dry embossed the Basic White card (#166781) with the Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder (#165170) and matted with the Bubble Bath card (#161727), then attached to the Basic White base card. The DSP was attached to the card front.

I stamped the outline of the glasses from the Cheers & Sips stamp set (#165588) onto the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper (#165586) with VersaMark (#102283). I added the Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The glasses were cut with the Cheers & Sips dies (#165593). For the taller glass at the back is used another of the dies to add the pattern. I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add some glimmer to the 3 glasses.

“Cheers” and the 2 leaves were also Gold embossed. The Strawberry was stamped with Strawberry Slush ink (#165286) and coloured with Strawberry Slush Stampin’ Blends (#165290). The olive was stamped with Old Olive ink (#147090) and coloured with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends (#154892). The grapes were stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092) and coloured with Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends (#154877).

I cut the circle from Gold Foil (#132622) with a Spotlight On Nature die (#163580). I taped the circle and back glass to the card. The other glasses were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The leaves and fruit were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The Iridescent Faceted Gems (#163368) were added to the card.

Artistic Leaves

Hello again friends,

I am using another piece from the One Sheet Wonder (see yesterday’s post).

I dry embossed the Darling Duckling card (#165294) with the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder (#164695) then attached the Kintsugi Inspiration Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165159). The card front was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The leaves are from the Artistic Leaves stamp set (#166162). I stamped one with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083) and Darling Duckling ink (#165277), and the other with Crushed Curry ink (#147087) and Crumb Cake ink (#147116). The leaves were fussy cut.

The sentiment is from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378), stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink and cut with a Mixed Labels die (#164652).

I taped the yellow leaf to the card and I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the Cherry Cobbler card and sentiment. The Flower Accents (#165171) were attached to finish the card.

One Sheet Wonder

Hello stamping friends,

Have you heard of a One Sheet Wonder? This is when you use one sheet of Designer Paper, cut it into various sizes and use each piece on a different card. I am using the gold & white design from the Kintsugi Inspirations 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165159). Below are the sizes I cut for this page.

I have used one of the pieces cut 13.4cm x 9cm, and this was matted with Gorgeous Grape card (#147011), then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781)

The vases from the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set (#165161) were stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and Highland Heather ink (#147103). These were cut with the Inspiring Imperfections dies (#165166). This stamp set & die is also available in the Inspiring Imperfections Bundle (#165167), which gives you a 10% saving.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Year Of Flowers stamp set (#165367). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added the Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). I used the More Messages die (#165472) to cut the sentiment.

The gold rectangle is the middle of the smaller frame from the Sentimental Framing dies (#165476). I dry embossed this with the Joined Together Embossing Folder (#165170). The gold is from the Textured Metallic 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#163772).

I taped this gold and the Highland Heather vase to the card. The Gorgeous Grape vase & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I will show more cards from this One Sheet Wonder in the coming weeks.

Inspiring Imperfections Bundle

Hi friends,

The gorgeous Kintsugi Inspirations Suite Collection (#165172) has been used for today’s card. Included in this collection are the Inspiring Imperfections Bundle (#165167), Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder (#165170), Flower Accents (#165171) and Kintsugi Inspirations 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165159).

I used a die from the Inspiring Imperfection dies (#165166) to cut the blue & gold Designer Series Paper for the vase. I stamped the flower and one bowl from the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set (#165161) with Poppy Parade ink (#147050). The other bowl was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added the Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The bowls and flower were cut with the dies.

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder, and matted with Poppy Parade card (#121694) then attached to the Basic White card base.

“Happy Birthday” from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) was stamped with Poppy Parade ink and cut with the More Messages die (#165472).

The vase, bowls and sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430), and I used Mini Glue dots (#103683) to attach the flower.

The embellishments are the Flower Accents.

One of the designs in the DSP with the vases, bowls & flowers can be cut using the dies.
