Thoughtful Expressions

Hello again friends,

This beautiful Hummingbird is from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set (#162815).

I stamped the bird with VersaMark (#102283) onto a piece of the Holographic Trio 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#161744). I added the Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with the co-ordinating die from the Thoughtful Expressions dies (#162821).

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder (#162935) and matted this with Starry Sky card (#159264).

The Starry Sky Metallic Woven Ribbon (#159198) was wrapped around the card front, then the card front was taped to the Basic White base card.

“Just For You” from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Starry Sky ink (#159212), then cut with an Everyday Details die (#162864). The sentiment & hummingbird were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The silver embellishments are from the Festive Pearls (#159963).

Lifetime Of Love

Hello friends,

I have used a combination of products on this pretty card, including the Lifetime Of Love Dies (#162583) and the Thoughtful Expressions Bundle (#162822).

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder from the Softly Sophisticated Bundle (#162947) from Sale-a-bration. This was matted with Flirty Flamingo card (#141421) then attached to the Basic White base card.

I used Parakeet Party card (#159260) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to cut the leaves & the leaves joined by the “arch”. The fine die cut flowers were cut with a die from the Thoughtful Expressions die (162821) using Flirty Flamingo card.

The stamped flowers are from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set (#162815). This was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and coloured with the following Stampin’ Blends - Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Parakeet Party (#159220), Azure Afternoon (#161672) and Lemon Lolly (#161673). These were also cut with the Thoughtful Expressions dies. Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the Flirty Flamingo floral image and Mini Glue Dots (#103683) for the Azure Afternoon floral image.

“With Sympathy” is cut & embossed with the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder (#162927) and Gold Foil Sheet (#132622).

Thoughtful Expressions Bundle

Hi crafty friends,

I needed a sympathy card so I have used the Thoughtful Expressions Bundle (#162822) for this one.

I stamped the flowers from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set (#162815) with VersaMark (#102283) onto Basic White card (#159228). This was heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Highland Heather ink (#147103). I cut the flowers, sentiment and Gold Foil (#132622) with dies from the Thoughtful Expressions dies (#162821).

For the card front I used the Most Adored Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162976), a free Sale-a-bration product (with a $90 order in Australia). This was matted with Highland Heather card (#147010), then attached to the Basic White base card.

The flower and sentiment were taped to the Gold Foil, then these were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The butterfly embellishments are from the Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136).
