Petals and More Thinlits Dies

Hello,

A simple but elegant card here using the Petals and More Thinlits Dies (#145655) from the new Occasions catalogue. 

I used Very Vanilla card (#106550) for the base card, the card front and the circle for the sentiment. I used the Pinewood Planks 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (#143708) to add texture to the card front. I sponged the edges with Soft Suede ink (#126978), then attached the Gold 3/8” Metallic Edge Ribbon (#144146) to the card. The sentiment is from the Petal Palette stamp set (#c145788, #w145785), stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129) and heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was then cut with one of the Stitched Shapes Framelits (#145372) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The flower and leaves were cut with the dies from the Petals & More Thinlits using Gold Glimmer Paper (#133719). I glued these to the card with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). This stamp set and Thinlits can also be purchased in a bundle - the  Petal Palette Bundle (#c145974, #w145973), and of course you make a saving of 10% when you purchase a bundle.

Talking of savings, during Sale-a-bration, with each $90 order, you receive a free product of your choice from the SAB brochure, and who doesn’t like something free! Contact me if you want any more information.

Have a great day.

Petal Palette

Hello again,

The beautiful Petal Palette stamp set (#c145788, #w145785) has been used to stamp the flowers, cute little bird and the sentiment on this pretty card.

The cardstock is Pink Pirouette (#116203) and Whisper White (#106549). The flowers were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129). This was heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056).  I used Rose Red ink (#126954) to stamp the bird and sentiment. We have been spoilt again and have co-ordinating framelits - the Petals & More Thinlits Dies (#145655) to cut all these stamped images. The framelit to cut the pink card front is from the Eclectic Layers Thinlits (#143774). The sentiment, bird and flowers are all attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The ribbon is Gold 1/8” ribbon and I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach it to the card under the sentiment.

That’s all for today.

Heartfelt Blooms from Sale-a-bration

Hi everyone,

It’s amazing how this stamp from the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set (#c147202, #w147197) stamps with a range of opacities from just one ink colour. This stamp set is one of the free products from Sale-a-bration with a $90 Stampin’ Up! order.

I used Crushed Curry ink (#131173) to stamp the flowers and Basic Black Archival ink (#140931) for the sentiment. This is also from the same stamp set. The base card is Crushed Curry (#131288) and the DSP is from the Colour Theory Designer Series Paper Stack (#144193). I punched a piece of Basic Black card (#121688) with the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch (#143721) and taped this to the DSP just showing the small scallops. The Whisper White card (#106549) which I stamped on was attached to a piece of Basic Black card, then this was attached to the base card using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Once the card was assembled I glued some sequins from the Iridescent Sequins (#144212) using the Fine -Tip Glue Pen (#138309).

With this stamp it is important not to use a very “juicy” ink as you won’t get a nice stamped image.

Have a great day and keep cool.

Petal Palette with Brusho

Hi everyone,

I have used the Brusho Crystal Colour (#144101) along with an image from the Petal Palette stamp set (#c145788, #w145785) on this card. You can apply the Brusho crystals in various ways to give a watercolour look.

Firstly I stamped the flower image onto Shimmery White card (#121717) using VersaMark (#102283) and White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109132) and heat set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I added a very small amount of the Brillant Red Brusho powder onto an acrylic block and using an Aqua Painter (#103954), added some water to the powder, then coloured the flowers. I did the same with the Moss Green for the leaves. The embossed areas act like a resist so no colour remains on that. For the background I used the Yellow and Prussian Blue and spread these colours randomly on the background again using the Aqua Painter. I added a few small sprinkles of the Gamboge (orange) directly to the card and allowed the water that was on the card to “do its own thing with the crystals” and just left it to dry. Once dry, I cut the piece with a Lots Of Labels Framelits (#138281) and then a second one from Daffodil Delight card (#121680). I sponged around the smaller label with Bermuda Bay ink (#131171). You will find you will get a variety of colours from mixing the base colours of the Brusho crystals. The Blue and yellow mixed here looked very much like Bermuda Bay, so that is why I chose Bermuda Bay card (#131286) for the base. The Whisper White card (#106549) was embossed with the Petal Pair Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (#145656) and attached to the base card which was embossed with the Simple Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (#145648). Bermuda Bay ink was used to stamp Best Wishes from the Petal Palette stamp set. Before attaching the label to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430), I wrapped some of the Gold Metallic Thread (#138401) around it.

I am looking forward to discovering more possibilities with Brusho Crystals.

Bye for now.

Painted With Love Specialty DSP

Hello friends,

This gorgeous Painted With Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (#145580) has gold foil accents on one side and it includes colourful sophisticated designs in Calypso Coral, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry and Powder Pink. This is part of the Painted with Love suite and I just love it. You don’t have to do a lot to make a beautiful card with this DSP.

I used Calypso Coral card (#124392) for the base which co-ordinates with this sheet of Designer Series Paper. Thank You So Much is from A Good Day stamp set (#c145873, #w145870). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129). The Heat Tool (#129056) was used to heat set the powder. This was then punched with the 1-3/8” Scallop Circle Punch (#146139). The Calypso Coral circle and the circle with the dots (this is the other side of the DSP used for the cardfront) are both cut with the Layering Circles Framelits (#141705). The Gold Foil circle (#132622) was cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits (#145372). The flower was cut with a die from the Flourish Thinlits (#141478) using Gold Glimmer Paper (#133719). This was attached to the card with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional (#144108), then a Rhinestone Basic Jewel (#144220) was added to the centre. I coloured this with the Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blend (#144044). The ribbon and bow is Calypso Coral 1/4” Ombré Ribbon (#144235).

I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Petal Garden Memories and More Card Pack

Hi everyone,

The Memories and More card packs are great for both Scrapbooking memories and using to make an easy card. Today I have used the Petal Garden Memories And More Card Pack (#144208). This pack includes 72 double sided cards in 2 sizes, as well as stickers and gold foil die cuts. There is a variety of designs and the colours in this set are Calypso Coral, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, Sweet Sugarplum and Whisper White.

I used Calypso Coral for the base card (#124392). The next layer is Old Olive (#106576), then the next 2 layers are from the card pack. I stamped the Happy Birthday from the Sale-a-bration Happy Wishes stamp set (#c147227, #w147224) using Pear Pizzaz ink (#131290) and Calypso Coral ink (#126983). To stamp “happy” with the 2 colours,  I inked the stamp with Pear Pizzaz ink, then wiped the area where the flowers are and using a Dauber, I added Calypso Coral ink, then stamped the image. “Birthday” was also stamped with Calypso Coral. The other images are already printed on the cards. The banner is Calypso Coral card and punched with the Banner Triple punch (#138292). I added some of the Iridescent Sequins (#144212) to the card for a bit of bling. 

Yes, that was an easy card and I was pleased with the end result.

That’s all for today.

Hold On To Hope Bundle

Welcome Ladies and Guys,

I was looking forward to having the day in the craft room after not getting a chance in the last 2 days. But before I could make any cards I realised I needed to have a big clean up, which took me most of the day, and there is still some more to clean. So the day cleaning the craft room wasn’t what I really wanted to do but it had to be done. It seems to be a never ending job.

Anyway, here is a simple Sympathy card using the new Hold On To Hope Bundle (#c145970, #w145969). This is a beautiful set including the Hold On To Hope stamp set (#c145780, #w145776) and Cross Of Hope Framelits Dies (#145654).

I have used Whisper White card (#106549) for the base card, card front and the detailed cross. A Silver Foil Sheet (#132178) was used for the solid cross and to matt the card front. The leafy flourish is from the Hold On To Hope Stamp set and stamped with Wild Wasabi ink (#126959). With Sympathy from the Rose Wonder stamp set (#p140697) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with the Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109131) and heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The detailed cross was glued to the solid cross with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309), then the cross was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

 Well it’s back to more cleaning.

I hope you are having a great day.
