Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper

Hello stamping friends,

I do love the Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper (#160834) as part of the Sale-a-bration products. This paper co-ordinates with the Dainty Delight Bundle (#160675), (however I have not used that bundle on this card.)

I attached the DSP to the Daffodil Delight card (#121680), then attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The bird and cage are from the Pretty Birds Bundle (#158847) which includes the Pretty Birds stamp set (#158845) and Birdhouse Dies (#158846). The bird was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708), and coloured with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885) and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883). The cage was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set this with the Heat Tool (#129056). The bird & cage were both cut with the Birdhouse dies. I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to give some shimmer to the bird.

I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the cage and Mini Glue Dots (#103683) for the bird.

“Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) and cut with a Potted Succulent die (#154330). This was also attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Flowing Flowers

Welcome everyone,

I often have bits & pieces left after making a card as I have stamped or cut too many images or it just wasn’t right for that particular project. I actually have a box of these leftovers but I find when I need a card in a hurry, these certainly come in very handy. The flower and leaves on this card are from that box of goodies.

The flower from the Flowing Flowers stamp set (#157880) was stamped with Poppy Parade ink (#147050), then fussy cut. The leaves were cut with a die from the Forever Flourishing dies (#152714) and I used Pear Pizzaz card (#131290).

I stamped the splotches from the Quiet Meadow stamp set (#155082) with Crumb Cake ink (#147116) onto the Basic White card front (#159228). The strip of Pattern Party 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#155426) was attached to the card front, then I daubered around the card with Poppy parade ink. 

The flower was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). “Happy Birthday” is also from the Flowing Flowers stamp set and I used Poppy Parade ink. The die to cut this is from the Potted Succulents dies (#154330). Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to attach the sentiment. The embellishments are the Red Rhinestones Basic Jewels (#146924).

TIP: Many of the die sets have label dies which are suitable for a great range of sentiments, so it’s worthwhile checking your dies to see what one suits your particular sentiment. It could be in an unexpected set and it’s easy to forget what is available. I am currently cutting out all my label dies, and labelling what die set they belong to and placing them in a folder so it it easy to find the die I want.

Dahlia Days Bundle

Hi everyone,

The Dahlia Days Bundle (#157802) includes the Dahlia Days stamp set (#157799) and the Detailed Dahlias Dies (#157801). This is another one of my favourite sets.

I adhered Adhesive Sheets (#152334) the the back of the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) before cutting with the Detailed Dahlia Dies. This was attached to the Blackberry Bliss card (#133682). I cut a triangle with the Abstract Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper (#158039) and placed this on the card. The Base card is Basic White (#159228).

The Dahlia, small flowers and leaves are all images from the Dahlia Days stamp set. The Dahlia was stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092). For the small flowers I also used Blackberry Bliss ink but used the Stampin’ Off method to get a lighter colour. The leaves were stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). I used the co-ordinating dies in the Detailed Dahlia dies to cut these stamped images.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Special Moments stamp set (#158081) - a Sale-a-bration product. This was stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink then cut with a Potted Succulent die (#154330). The sentiment, dahlia and small flowers were all attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). One of the Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) was added to the sentiment.

TIP: To do the Stampin’ Off Method, just ink the stamp as usual, then tap the stamp once onto scrap paper then stamp on the card. This gives a lighter colour, so some of the lighter colours may not work as well as darker ones. Just test it first before stamping on your card if you are unsure.

Stamping on Gold Metallic Specialty Paper

Hi my crafty friends,

I love to experiment and here on this card I heat embossed on the Gold Metallic Specialty Paper, then coloured with Stampin’ Blends. Last week I heat embossed on cards using Black & White Stampin’ Emboss powders, so today I have used the Gold.

The floral image from the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set (#155070) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) onto the Gold from the Gold & Rose Gold 6”x6” Metallic Specialty Paper (#156844). I added the Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I then coloured the flowers with Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends (#154887), Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends (#155520) and Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends (#154884). I used Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885) for the leaves.

I matted this gold paper with Gorgeous Grape card (#147011). The Highland Heather card front (#147010) was dry embossed with the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder (#155428), then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

“Congratulations” is also from the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set and stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099). The sentiment and the Gorgeous Grape Label under the sentiment were cut with the Potted Succulents dies (#154330). The sentiment was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon (#154572) was used to make the bow and attached to the card with a Mini Glue Dot (#103683).

The Elegant Faceted Gems (#152464) were coloured with the dark Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends (#154887) before attaching to the card.

Stay safe & keep crafting!!

Simply Succulents Bundle

Hello friends,

After yet another busy day, I have enjoyed sitting and colouring these succulents from the Simply Succulents stamp set (#154480) which are from the upcoming January-June Mini catalogue.

I stamped the image onto Whisper White card (#106549) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends used are Mint Macaron (#154889), Just Jade (#153107), Granny Apple Green (#154885), Soft Sea Foam (#154902), Petal Pink (#154893) and Flirty Flamingo (#154884).

The pot was stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052) and I coloured the band of the pot using Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends. 

The sentiment, also from the Simply Succulents stamp set was stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink, then cut with a die from the Potted Succulents Dies (#154330).

The background was also cut with a die from the same die set. I glued this to the Whisper White base card using the Mulitpurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). I used a sponge to dab the glue to the back of the die cut piece. The other option would have been to adhere Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to the back of the card before cutting.

The pot was taped to the card and the succulents were attached using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430), then the sentiment was taped on top.

Have a great day!!
