Berry Botanical Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi everyone,

I loved one of the samples showing the Berry Botanical Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper (167985) which is this months Product Of The Month, so here is my variation.

I attached one of the floral designs of vellum to Basic White card (#166781) using Adhesive Sheet (#152334). This was then cut with the Party Alphabet dies (#165263) for “HAPPY”.

The Hydrangea Hue card (#167688) was dry embossed with the Forever Plaid Embossing folder (#164049). “HAPPY” was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Happy Birthday” from Fabulous Sayings stamp set (#167972) was stamped with Hydrangea Hue ink (#167677) and I fussy cut this and attached it to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The Dreamy Flower (#167916) embellishments were added to the card.

Party Alphabet dies

Hi friends,

I had a lovely relaxing day today with fellow demonstrators at a “Craft & Connect” gathering. It is always so much fun connecting with other demonstrators,

This card is one of the cards we made today.

The J & Y were cut with the Party Alphabet dies (#165263) from Real Red card (#106578).

I punched 5 circles from the Modern Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165990) using the 2” Circle Punch (#133782). I also punched one from Real Red card. I folded each of the circles from the DSP in half then joined them together, then attached them to the Real Red circle.

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder (#164695) and matted with Real Red card. I wrapped the retired Open Weave Trim around the card front.

I attached the letters with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and taped the circles. I chose the Traditional Sparkling Sequins (#165875) for the embellishments.

Party Alphabet dies

Hello everyone,

Another quick & easy Christmas card, this time using the Party Alphabet Dies (#165263).

“JOY” was cut with the dies using the All Seasons Velvet Specialty Paper (#166063).

The card front from the Elegant Pines Snowflakes Designer Series Paper (#166066) was matted with Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“Peace, Love &” is from the Peace On Earth stamp set (#165918). This sentiment also has “Joy” as part of the sentiment but I cut it off as it wasn’t needed with the large letters. This was cut with a Textured Notes die (#165555).

The letters & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Yes, quick & easy!!

Party Alphabet Dies

Hello stamping friends,

An easy Christmas card using the Party Alphabet dies (#165263) and the Words For The Season dies (#165797).

The “M” & “C” were cut with the Party Alphabet dies from the Traditions Of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165853).

I used the Words For the Season dies to cut the “erry” & “hristmas”. These dies cut the full words but the first letter is separate to the rest of the word once they are cut, so that’s why I decided to use the Party Alphabet dies for the first letters (for something different). I used Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) which I backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Christmas Words Collage Embossing Folder (#165912). I attached a piece of Cherry Cobbler card on the left side of the Basic White base card, then attached the card front.

The “M” & “C” were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430), then the rest of the words were attached.

I fussy cut the flower from the Traditions Of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper and used Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach it to the card. The Faceted Snowflakes (166077) were added.

Party Alphabet dies

Hi friends,

Another easy card using the Party Alphabet dies (#165263). These dies are quite large - 7.5cm (2-15/16”) high. I am loving them for both cards & scrapbooking. They do come separately or in a bundle with the Party Banners dies (165264) and the bundle is the Party Dies Bundle (#165265).

I cut the letters from Real Red card (#106578). I dry embossed them with the Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Embossing Folder (#165496). I actually used the waves part of the folder but rather than have the waves horizontal on the letters I had them vertical, and they don't look like waves.

The Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393) was double matted with Secret Sea card (#165296) and Real Red card. This was then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“You” is from the Layered Thoughts stamp set (#165346). This was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) then cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183).

The letters were taped to the card and “you” was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) were added to the card. I arranged the letters so they would fit a normal size card.
