Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape

Hi again,

The Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape (#165269) has a range of flowers & leaves and I have used some on this card. I adhered the Washi tape to a piece of card, then cut it with the Extraordinary Flora Die (#165244).

I dry embossed the Vellum Specialty Paper (#167099) with the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder (#165928), then matted this with Strawberry Slush card (#165297). The base card is Basic White (#166781).

I used the Peace On Earth dies (#165924) to cut the Strawberry Slush card & Basic White card for the sentiment. “Best Of Luck” from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) was stamped with Strawberry Slush ink (#165286). The Basic White card was taped to the Strawberry Slush card then this was attached to the Vellum with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The flowers & leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The embellishments are Frosted Iridescent Dots (#165766).

Peace On Earth Bundle

Hi again friends,

The Peace On Earth Bundle (#165925), used here, consists of the Peace On Earth stamp set (#165918) and the Peace On Earth dies (#165924).

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#166781) with the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder (#165928) and matted it with the Misty Moonlight card (#153086). This was attached to the Basic White base card. The finished card is a bit larger than normal - 13.5cm x 15.5cm.

“Peace On Earth” was stamped on to piece of Basic White card and it was cut with a Spotlight On Nature die (#163580), then attached to the card front.

I cut many of the leaves with a die from the Peace On Earth Dies and attached them around the circle to form a wreath, using Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I used Cloud Cover card (#165293) for the leaves.

The dove, also from the Peace On Earth dies, was cut from the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper (#165929). A Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430) was used to attach the dove to the card. The Hues Of Flowers (#165930) are the embellishments I added to the wreath.

Traditions Of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello again,

A pretty Christmas card using the Traditions Of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165853).

This DSP has 2 images which can be cut with the Christmas Greenery dies (#165872), including the one on this card. There is also a stamp with the same images from the Christmas Greenery stamp set (#165870), but not used on this card.

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder (#165928) and attached to the Poppy Parade card (#121694). I wrapped the Shaded Spruce Gold Edged Ribbon (#166078) around the card front, then this was attached to the Basic White base card.

Another piece of Poppy Parade card was cut with a label die from the Peace On Earth dies (#165924) and attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The die cut floral image was taped to the card.

“Merry Christmas” was cut with the Words For The Season dies (#165797). I used Shaded Spruce card (#147006), backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). After cutting the words, just remove the backing and these detailed die cuts are easily attached to the card.

The Faceted Snowflakes (#166077) were added to the card.

Christmas Greenery Bundle

Hello friends,

The Christmas Greenery bundle (#165873) is a favourite with the beautiful floral images. Even though it is a Christmas set, I feel the floral image I have used on today’s card can be used for any occasion.

I stamped the image from the Christmas Greenery stamp set (#165870) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#166781). The Stampin’ Blends to colour the image are Fresh Freesia (#155518), Petunia Pop (#163828) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). I cut this image and the leaves with the Christmas Greenery dies (#165872). For the leaves I used Granny Apple Green card (#147014).

I cut the arches with the Everyday Arches dies (#164629) using Basic White card & Petunia Pop card (#163802). I added some colour on the Basic White arch using a Blending Brush (#153611) and Petunia Pop ink (#163811).

The card front was dry embossed with the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder (#165928). The edges were daubered with Petunia Pop ink, then attached to the Basic White base card. The arches were taped together and attached to the card. The green leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the coloured floral images.

“Celebrate” from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) was stamped with Petunia Pop ink and cut with the More Messages die (#165472). Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to attach the sentiment.

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the flowers. The embellishments are from the Iridescent Faceted Gems (#163368).

Peaceful Garden

Hi friends,

The Peaceful Garden Suit Collection (#165932) includes products for Christmas and various other occasions. The Peace On Earth stamp set (#165918) has a variety of sentiments so is a very versatile set.

I cut the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper (#165917) with the doves, using the smaller “label” die from the Peace On Earth Dies (#165924). I then cut the Blue from the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper (#165929) with the larger die. These were taped together.

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder (#165928), then this was I matted this with Blueberry Bushel card (#146991) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment is from the Peace On Earth stamp set. This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added the Silver Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056), A die from the Beautiful Butterflies (#164614) was used to cut the sentiment.

The leaves from the Peace On Earth Dies were used to cut the Silver Foil (#163387) and this was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the sentiment and the glimmer paper.

Peace On Earth Bundle

Hi friends,

Today, demonstrators around the world joined together for “Creativity Now”, an online cardmaking day. We used products which will be available in the Mini Catalogue in September. (I can’t believe we are already talking about September).

This card today is made from some of the products. I needed a Sympathy card and the Peace On Earth Bundle (#165925) and Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder (#165928) were perfect for it.

For this card I used a full size A4 size Basic White card (#166781) and folded it in half. I dry embossed another piece of Basic White card with the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder (#165928). This card was matted with Silver Foil Sheet (#163387) and taped to the base card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Peace On Earth stamp set (#165918) with VersaMark (#102283) and used the Silver from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment and the silver foil were cut with the label dies from the Peace On Earth dies (#165924). I taped these labels together and attached it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The dove is also cut with a die from the same die set using Silver Foil. The cross is cut from long retired Cross Of Hope dies.

This card is simple but elegant, just what I like for a sympathy card.
