Special Reason Bundle

Hi everyone,

Wow, do I love this Special Reason stamp set (#c142902, #w142899) and co-ordinating Stylish Stems Framelits Dies (#142750) which are also available as a bundle (#c144720, #w144719). When you first look at the framelits you would probably think they are just another set of floral framelits. Well they are totally unique and very versatile.

 

 

 

There are 11 dies in the set. The 2 flowers can be cut like this, using the detailed die.

 

You can use this as is, as I have on the Whisper White card (#106549) with a piece of Pop Of Pink Specialty Designer Series Paper (#141648) showing underneath. Or you can then cut out a flower using the outline die as shown below and also on the card.

 

 

 

As I said, these framelits co-ordinate with the Special Reason stamp set, so I have stamped the smaller flower and leaves then cut them with the framelits. I know I will be using these sets over and over again.

The base card is Melon Mambo (#119980). I used Crushed Curry card (131288) for the flower. The small flowers were stamped with Wisteria Wonder ink (#126985) and Coral Calypso (#126983). Wild Wasabi ink (#126959) was used to stamp the leaves. Happy Birthday was stamped with Melon Mambo ink (#126948). I attached the card front with the Foam Adhesive Strips (#141825), and the Calypso Coral flower was attached with a Stampin' Dimensional (#104430). The other flowers and leaves were adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

I am sure you will enjoy using these sets as much as I do.

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Lesley.

Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies

Hello again,

The new Occasions catalogue is here, and there is a great variety of products for all ages and occasions. On this card I have used the beautiful new Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies (#142749). There are 4 dragonfly thinlits and a bee in this set. Of course there is stamp set which co-ordinates with these Thinlits - Dragonfly Dreams (#p142924) and they are available in a bundle (#p144728).

 

The base card is Island Indigo (#124390) and the card front is Very Vanilla (#106550). Happy Birthday from the Big On Birthdays stamp set (#p142877) has been stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#126966). This stamp set is also in the new catalogue and contains 12 stamps. I cut the dragonflies from the Very Vanilla card (I will use these on another card), so this leaves the outline of the dragonflies. Then I used Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) to cut another lot of dragonflies. I attached a piece of DSP from the Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack (#141642) between the base card and the Very vanilla card. Then I attached the Cherry Cobbler dragonflies with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430) so you can see the DSP underneath.

Not only is there a new catalogue but Sale-a-bration also starts from 4th January till 31st March. During this time, you get a free item of your choice from the Sale-a-bration brochure for every $90 you spend (before shipping and handling).

Gift Of Love

Welcome and Happy New Year,

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Well the new year means the new Occasions catalogue will be available from 4th January as well as Sale-A-Bration so lots of new products as well as free products. For every $90 you spend on Stampin' Up! Products your will receive a free product from the Sale-a-bration catalogue, and we all love free products. More info about these in the coming days.

Now to today's card. I have used one of the hostess products - Gift Of Love stamp set (#p141796). This is a Two-Step stamping set which allows you to layer multiple stamped images.

 

I stamped the outline using the Archival Basic Black ink (#140931). The leaves were stamped with Wild Wasabi (#126959) and the flowers with Calypso Coral (#126983). The Photopolymer stamps allows you to stamp the images with ease. The cardstock is Calypso Coral (#124392) for the base card, Wild Wasabi (#111850) for the card front and Whisper White (#106549) on top for the stamping. I used a piece of Copper Foil Sheet (#142020) and embossed this with the Cable Knit Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (#143537). I decided not to add a sentiment, as I am often asked for cards without anything on them.

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Lesley.

Happy Christmas

Merry Christmas to everyone,

This is my last Christmas card for 2016 using the beautiful Star Of Light Bundle (#p143508). This has been a very popular stamp set with matching framelits.

 

The Star Of Light stamp set (#p142110) has been used for the greetings and the flourish of stars. I have used Night Of Navy ink (#126970) and Daffodil Delight ink (#126944). The stars have been cut with the Starlight Thinlits Dies (#141840) using Night Of Navy card (#106577), Daffodil Delight card (#121680) and Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper (#135315). The base card is Night of Navy and the card front is Whisper White (#106549). I also added a little star from the Metallic Enamel Shapes (#141678) to the middle of the stars. The base star was attached with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430) as was the top star. I glued the yellow star with Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309).

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and thanks for all of your support during the year.

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Lesley.

Vintage Leaves

Hello and welcome,

I used the Rock and Roll method to stamp these leaves from the Vintage Leaves (#p138802), to give the different colours on the leaves.

 

For the rock and roll method, ink the stamp with the lighter coloured ink, then roll the edges of the stamp on the darker coloured ink. If you use the darker colour first you will get that colour transferred onto the lighter ink pad so best to use the lighter colour first. For these leaves I used Crushed Curry (#131173) with Cajun Craze (#126965), Mint Macaron (#138326) with Soft Suede (#126978) and Cherry Cobbler with Early Espresso (#126974). These leaves have been cut with the Leaflets Framelits (#138283). After shaping the leaves with a bone folder (#102300), I attached them to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430).

For You is stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink and is from the Birthday Blooms stamp set (#c140658, #w140655). The cardstock used is Soft Suede (#119982) and Very Vanilla (#106550 with the background from the Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack (#141642). I added some Copper Metallic Thread (#141696) and a Metal Rimmed Pearl (#138394) to the stems of the leaves.

That's all for today.

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate

Hello,

The background on this card is the Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate (#141653). These acetate sheets are Gold on one side and Silver on the other. I have used the silver side. There are 3 different designs in the pack.

 

The cardstock is Whisper White (#106549), Night Of Navy (#106577) and Real Red (#106578). The butterfly was cut from the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper (#135315) using the Bold Butterfly Framelits (#138135). Happy Birthday and the banner are both images from the Birthday Banners stamp set (#p141506) using Night Of Navy ink (#126970) and Real Red (#126949). The circles are cut with the Layering Circles Framelits (#141705). I used Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the banner, the butterfly and circles to the card.

Bye for now.

Happy Stamping!

Lesley.

Birds and Blooms Thinlit

Hello again,

There are very few cards I make these days that I don't use Framelits. They are so convenient and easy to use. There is such a great variety available from Stampin' Up! and today I have used 3 different sets. I have had a sneak peek at the new Occasions catalogue that will be available from 4th January with more exciting framelits and a great range of products. Can't wait to show them to you.

 

For the bird I used Birds And Bloom Thinlits (#141477), the circles are from the Layering Circles Framelits (#141705) and the swirl from the Cupcake Cutouts Framelits (#141474). I have also used 2 embossing folders. The white circle was embossed with the Elegant Dots folder (#138287) and I embossed the side of the Whisper White base card (#106549) with one of the folders from Floral Affection (#141713). There are 2 smaller folders in this set. The Designer Series Paper is Flirty Flamingo from the 2016-2018 In-Colour DSP Stacks (#141408). For the bird and larger circle I used Rose Red card (#108613). Mint Macaron card (#138344) was used for the swirl. The swirl was glued with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755) and the bird was attached with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430). Oh,  yes, I almost forgot, I did do some stamping - Happy Birthday from Butterfly Basics (#c138816, #w138813, #p137154) was stamped with Rose Red ink (#126954).

Hope you are all organised for Christmas with only a few more days till Santa comes.

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Lesley.
