Butterfly Gala

Welcome again,

The Butterfly Gala stamp set (#148580) and the co-ordinating Butterfly Duet Punch (#148523) are retiring, but for the butterfly lovers, there are more  beautiful butterflies and dies coming in the new catalogue.

The base card and card front are Very Vanilla (#106550). The background on the card front was achieved using Gilded Leafing Embellishment (#154560). I placed a Basic Pattern Decorative Mask (#150697) on the card and pressed the VersaMark pad (#102283) onto the mask so it presses through onto the card. I didn't want a perfect pattern, so if the VersaMark doesn’t stamp all over that is fine. I then sprinkled this with the Heat & Stick Powder (#156110), removed the excess, then heat it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This doesn’t take long but gives a stickiness to the card. Next press the card into the Gilded Leafing Embellishment, then rub the excess Gold Leafing from the card. The Gold Leafing will stick to the Heat & Stick Powder.

The Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) was cut with a die from the Ornate Borders Dies (#152724) for the detailed border. This was attached to a piece of the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper (#152488). I daubered the edges of the card with Mango Melody ink (#147093), then wrapped the Gold Metallic-Edge Ribbon (#144146) around the card front.

The Butterflies and sentiment are from the Butterfly Gala stamp set. I stamped the butterflies with VersaMark and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129). The butterflies were punched with the Butterflies Duet Punch. The butterflies were coloured with Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends (#154888). The sentiment was stamped with Mango Melody ink. The ovals were cut with the Layering Ovals Dies (#151771). The butterflies and sentiment were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I added 2020-2022 In Colour Enamel Dots (#152480) to the butterflies and sentiment.

Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello,

This beautiful Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper (#152488) is another of the retiring products from the annual catalogue.

The base card is Basic White (#159228), then I added Mango Melody card (#147013) followed by the Designer Series Paper. I cut the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) with a die from the Ornate Layers Dies (#152726) and attached this to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The flowers from the Ornate Style stamp set (#152572) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Basic White card. These were coloured with Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends (#154888) and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885), then fussy cut. I attached these to the gold foil.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Itty Bitty stamp set (#151331) and stamped with Mango Melody ink (#147093). The die to cut this is from the Always Dies (#154307). The gold trim is from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (#152475) and attached with a Mini Glue Dot (#103683), then I added the Playing With Patterns Resin Dot (#152467) on top of the trim.

Box card

Welcome friends,

If you like fancy fold cards here is a Box card, and it’s not too hard to make but looks impressive.

I cut the Whisper White card (#106549) 6” x10-1/2” to make the box. This was scored on the long side at 2-1/2”, 5”, 7-1/2” and 10”. I then scored on the short side at 3-1/4”. See diagram below.

You need 2 pieces of Whisper White card cut at 3-1/2” x 1/2” and scored at 1/2” at each end. These are for inside the box to attach the flowers etc to.

Assemble the box so that the front and sides fold down and the back piece stands up.. 

I then attached pieces of Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper to the inside of the back, the flaps and under the flaps.

I stamped the small daisies from the Daisy Lane stamp set (#c149325) using Daffodil Delight ink (#147094), Terracotta Tile ink (#150086) and Gold Embossing Powder. These were punched with the Medium Daisy Punch (#149517) and I used 2 flowers to assemble each daisy. I attached each daisy to a small strip of Window Sheet (#142314) and attached them to the pieces of card inside the box. I cut the leaves using the dies from the Poppy Moments (#151594) using Mossy Meadow card (#133683), Old Olive (#106576) and Pear Pizzaz (#131290). “Happy Birthday” is cut with the retired Happy Birthday die from Terracotta Tile card (#150890) and glued this to the back of the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). I added retired Gold Faceted Gems to the centre of the daisies.

Have a great day.

Ornate Garden Suite

Hello Ladies & Guys,

Over the last few weeks I have made some cards using the Ornate Garden Suite. This is now available to purchase and is a sneak peek from the Annual catalogue which will be available in the next couple of months. You can purchase the whole suite or individual products. Today’s card is using some of the beautiful products from this suite.

I embossed the card front with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder (#152725), then attached this to the Whisper White base card (#106549). The Designer Series Paper is Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper (#152488). Some of the sheets have Gold Foil Designs like this one on the card. The sentiment is from the Painted Glass stamp set (#c148220) and stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was then punched with the Label Me Lovely punch (#151296). After punching the top of the sentiment I then re-inserted the sentiment into the punch to punch the bottom part to make the punched piece smaller. A Gilded Gem (#152478) was placed under the sentiment.

Check out the beautiful products in this Ornate Garden Suite here.

Stay safe & healthy & keep crafting.

The Whisper White card, the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) and the sentiment were cut with Stitched Rectangles Dies (#148551). The Designer Series Paper is from the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper (#152488). “Your amazing” is from the Ornate Thanks stamp set (#149471) and stamped with Old Olive ink (#147090). The ribbon is from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo pack (#152479) and the embellishments are Gilded Gems (#152478). I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the sentiment and also to attach the Gold Foil to the DSP.

I hope you are having a crafty day.
