Gallery Blooms bundle

Hi friends,

I have used the Gallery Blooms Bundle (#165206) on today’s card. This bundle includes the Gallery Blooms stamp set (#165211) and Gallery Blooms dies (#165212).

The floral image was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). This was coloured with Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends (#163828) and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends (#154902). A co-ordinating die was used to cut this image.

The frame is also cut with one of the Gallery Blooms dies using Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). The leaf dies from the same set cut the Lost Lagoon card (#133686).

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Damask Designs Embossing Folder (#165214), then matted with Petunia Pop card (#163802) and attached to the Basic White card base.

The frame and floral image were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

I used the More Messages Bundle (#165473) to stamp & cut the sentiment. This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The retired Blooming Pearls were added to the card.

Impressions Abloom

Hello friends,

I have used the Impressions Abloom stamp set (#165605) and Impressions Abloom dies (#165610) on todays card, which are from the Impressions Abloom Bundle (#165611).

The flowers are stamped with Timid Tiger ink (#165278), using the stamping off method to achieve the lighter colour of the background. For the centre of the flowers I used Darling Duckling ink (#165277). The flowers & leaves were cut with the dies.

I cut the Basic White (#166781) oval and the outline from Timid Tiger card (#165298) also with the Impressions Abloom dies. I dry embossed the white card with the Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder (#165472). The white card was taped to the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper (#165603) and the Timid Tiger outline was glued with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). The DSP was matted with Timid Tiger card and attached to the Basic White base card.

The flowers were attached with Stampin’ (#104430) and I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) for the leaves. I used Pool Party card (#124391) for the leaves.

“Happy Birthday” is from the More Messages stamp set (#165471) and cut with the More Messages die (#165472). I used Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The embellishments are from the 2025-2027 In-Color Flat Pearls (#165192).

Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

I love these designs in the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper (#165196) with an “old world” look.

I used a Textured Notes die (#165555) to cut the middle of the DSP. I then used the next larger size die to cut the Secret Sea card (#165296). These two pieces were taped together and the larger piece of DSP was also matted with Secret Sea card.

I attached the smaller piece of matted DSP with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) on top of the cut out piece.

“Congratulations” was stamped with Secret Sea ink (#165285) using the More Messages stamp (#165471) and cut it with the co-ordinating More Messages die (#165472). This stamp & die is also available as a bundle - More Messages bundle (#165473). This stamp has a variety of sentiments and all cut with the one die. I am now getting quite a collection of sentiments in various colours and put them aside for a card when needed. The sentiment was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals 144108).

The base card is Basic Beige (#164512).

Kiss Of Texture stamp set

Hi friends,

Another retiring product is the Kiss Of Texture stamp set (#164759) which is where this floral image is from.

I stamped the floral image with Azure Afternoon ink (#161663) on Basic White card (#166781) and cut the images with 2 of the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580). I used a smaller die to cut the Azure Afternoon card (#161728).

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Cute Crochet Embossing Folder (#163792) - (retiring), and matted with Azure Afternoon card, then attached to the Basic White base card.

“Congratulations” is from the More Messages stamp set (#165471). This has a variety of sentiments on one stamp and has a co-ordinating die - More Messages die (#165472) which cut out all the sentiments at one time. You could also just ink one or 2 sentiments and still use the die.

I taped the smaller circle with the flowers to the card front, then used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the Azure Afternoon circle, and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the larger circle.

The sentiment was attached to the strip of Azure Afternoon card then taped on top of the floral image.

I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the flowers to add some glimmer. I added White Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics (#156310) to the berries of the stamped images, and the dots from Itty Bitty Bokeh Mix (#164618) were glued to the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).
