Scalloped Tag Topper punch

Hello again,

I have seen this card on many sites using the Scalloped Tag Topper punch (#133324) but the measurement didn't work so here is my version that we made at this weeks class.






The base card of Strawberry Slush (#131300) is the normal card size - 21 x 15cm. I then marked 2.5cm from one edge of the short side, then marked 2.5cm at the bottom but on the back of the card on the same edge. Then slide the narrow side of the card into the punch with the mark at the edge of the punch as shown.





Turn over and repeat at the other end and it will look like this.



Then cut off the pieces to get the following result.



Next score the tab on one end then from the edge at 10.5 cm.




Now it's time to complete the card.

I embossed the Coastal Cabana card (#131302) using the Woodgrain folder (#127821) and taped it to the front of the card. Happy Birthday from Label Love set (#130622) was stamped with Strawberry Slush ink (#131178) and punched with the Artisan Label (#130920). The flower is from the Secret Garden stamp set (#129144) and cut with the Secret Garden Framelits (#129372). Both the sentiment and flower were attached with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430). I added a piece of Whisper White (#106549) to the inside of the card. The ribbon is the 5/8 " Whisper White Organza Ribbon (#114319).

That's all for today,
Till next time,
😊Happy Stamping😊
Lesley.

Harvest Blessing birthday


Welcome ladies,

This is one of the cards the ladies made at this week's class.




I have used Crumb Cake (#121685), Early Espresso (#121686) and Very Vanilla (#106550) Cardstock. All the images were stamped with Early Espresso ink (#126974). The stamp sets are Harvest Blessing (#126452), Hardwood (#133035) and Perfectly Penned (#122892). The Very Vanilla card with the tractor and the Early Espresso under the sentiment were cut using the Small Scallop Stampin' Trimmer Rotary Cutting Blade (#129410). This is used with the Stampin' Trimmer Rotary Addition (#132986). As usual I used Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the tractor and sentiment to the card.

Hope the beginning of your week has started well.
Till next time,
😊Happy Stamping😊
Lesley.

Apothecary Accents and Watercolour Wonder DSP

Hi,

The Watercolour Wonder DSP (#132994) gives a lovely subtle background and I have teamed it today with Soft Sky (#131292) and Island Indigo (#124390) Cardstock.




I embossed on the right side of the base card using the Needlepoint Border folder (#129383). Get well is from the Perfectly Penned stamp set (#122892), and this was cut using the Apothercary Accents (#127003). The flowers are from the Secret Garden stamp set (#129144) and stamped on Whisper White card (#106549) then cut with the coordinating Secret Garden Framelits (#129372). The ink is Island Indigo (#126986). I added some Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the flowers and sentiment for a bit of bling. Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach one of the flowers and the sentiment.

Hope you have had a great week end.

Till next time,
😊Happy Stamping😊
Lesley.

Zoo review


Hello and welcome,

I sometimes have an idea for a card and when I go to put it together, it's not what I really wanted. This is what happened with today's card and the end result is totally different to my first idea.




The card stock is Gumball Green (#127543), Early Espresso (#121686) and Very Vanilla (#106550). Pumpkin Pie ink (#126945) was used for the sentiment and Giraffes. The stamp sets are Zoo Review (#122199) and Sketched Birthday (#130426). For the sentiment I used the Bitty Banners Framelits (#129267) and the Decorative Label punch (#120907). I used Stampin' Dimensionals between the Gumball Green and Early Espresso. The Small Scallop Stampin' Trimmer Rotary Cutting Blade (#129410) was used to cut the bottom edge of the Early Espresso card. To use this blade you do need the Stampin' Trim Rotary Addition (#132986). You must also remember that the cutting mat needs to be turned to the flat side when using the decorative blades.

Till next time,
😊Happy Stamping😊
Lesley.

Ovals Collection Framelits

Hi again

Framelits and punches make it so easy to cut your images especially when they coordinate with the stamps which they do for the butterfly and flowers on this card.




Firstly, I cut the oval from the Whisper White base card (#106549) using the Ovals Collection Framelits (#129381). I then cut the Calypso Coral card (#124392) using 2 oval Framelits. The base card was embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots folder (#117335). Calypso Coral ink (#126983) was used for the butterfly, flowers and sentiment. The stamp sets are Papillon Potpourri (#123759), Flower Shop (#130942) and Perfectly Penned (#126707). The butterfly was stamped on White Vellum (#106584). The punches used are Bitty Butterfly (#129406) and Pansy (#130698). Pearl Basic Jewels (#119247) were added to the butterfly and flowers.

Have a great day.

Till next time,
😊Happy Stamping😊

Perfectly Penned and a Peaceful Petals

Hello,

I love this flower from the Peaceful Petals stamp set (#133107) which is available from the Occasions Catalogue.



The flower and sentiment are stamped with Real Red ink (#126949) and the leaves with Pear Pizzazz (#131180). Both are hand cut. Happy Birthday is part of the elegant Perfectly Penned stamp set (#122892). The DSP is from the Brights Colour Collection (#130134) and the Cardstock is Real Red (#106578), Pacific Point (#116202) and Whisper White (#106549). The Whisper White was cut with the Large Scallop (#127019) and then embossed with the coordinating Delicate Designs folder (#127023). I sponged around the edges with Real Red. The ribbon is Pacific Point 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain.

Thanks for stopping by,
Till next time,
😊Happy Stamping😊
Lesley.

Creative Elements

Welcome ladies,

I think Creative Elements (#122647) is a very pretty stamp set. I haven't used it for a while so here it is on today's card.






Pear Pizzaz card (#131290) and ink (#131180) has been teamed up with Rich Razzleberry card (#119981) and ink (#126950), as well as Whisper White card (#106549). The Scallop Trim Border punch (#118402) was used for the decorative border. The flowers were hand cut, then attached to the card. One was taped to the card, the next with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430) and the 3rd I put 2 layers of Dimensionals for more lift. Best wishes is from the Express Yourself stamp set (#130339) which is one of the Hostess products available.
