Beautiful Motifs Bundle

Hi everyone,

I love the way the leaves partly cut out using the Beautiful Motifs die (#165205) which are part of the Beautiful Motifs Bundle (#165206).

The Pool Party & Lemon Lolly paper are from the Pastels Shimmer 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#167198). I cut the Pool Party paper with the Textured Notes dies (#165555). After cutting the top, bottom & left side I repositioned the die to cut the right side as I wanted a narrower cut. I then used the die from the Beautiful Motifs die to cut the leaves.

I stamped around the edges of the Lemon Lolly paper with a stamp from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set (#165198) using Daffodil Delight ink (#147094). This is very subtle so not sure if you can see it in the photo. This was matted with another piece of Pool Party paper and attached to the Basic White Base card (#166781). The Pool Party with the die cut leaves was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Thinking Of You” is from the same stamp set and stamped with Pool Party ink (#147107). A die from the Paradise Garden dies (#167120) was used to cut the sentiment. The embellishments are the Low Profile Sparkle Dots (#166157).

Fragrant Layers

Hello again everyone,

This floral image is from the Fragrant Layers stamp set (#167150). This is a Two-Step set where you can stamp the outline image, then colour the inside with another stamp. However I have chosen to colour the image with Stampin’ Blends. It’s great to have options.

The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#166781). The flowers were coloured with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675), the leaves with Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894) and the flower centres with Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends (#161673). I chose these colours as they are the colours in the Pastels Shimmer Specialty Paper (#167198) which I have used on this card. The floral image was fussy cut.

The Bubble Bath card front from this specialty paper was dry embossed with the Beautiful Pattern 3D Embossing Folder (#167097) and matted with Basic Black card (#121688). The Lemon Lolly and Pool Party shimmer papers were cut with a die from the Nested Essentials dies (#161597). These were taped to the card.

“With Love” from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and cut with a Beautiful Butterflies dies (#164614).

The floral image and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I cut some leaves using dies from the Fragrant Layers Dies (#167154) using Pool Party card (#124391). I added some extra colour to the leaves with a Sponge Dauber (#133773) & Pool Party ink (#147107). These were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the floral image. The Pearlised Faceted Circles (#166978) were the embellishments added to the card.

Beautifully Celebrated

Hi again,

I haven’t had a lot of time to get into the craft room, so when I had a small window of opportunity today I made this easy card using new products available from 6th January. The Beautifully Celebrated Bundle (#166965) was used for the leaf and the fancy shape cut outs.

I stamped the leaf from the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set (#166968) with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678). The Heat Tool (#129056) was used to set the powder. I stamped this on the Pastel Shimmer Specialty Paper (#167198). This pack contains Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly & Pool Party coloured paper. I added some subtle colour to the leaves with the Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894). This Pool Party paper & the Gold Foil (#132622) were cut with the Beautifully Celebrated dies (#166974).

Another gorgeous paper is the Splash Of Sparkles Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167200) which I have used for the card front and matted with Gold Foil. This was attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#166785).

The die cut Gold Foil was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). “Happy Birthday” is from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756). This was also gold embossed on the Pool Party shimmer paper. A Textured Notes Die (#165555) was used to cut the sentiment, then I attached it with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
