Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello,

Another one of my favourite Designer Series Paper is the Sweet Soiree Specialty DSP (#145564). Yes, I do have a lot of favourites! And I love the colour combinations they have used to create the beautiful designs on one side and silver foil accents on the other side to give a textured look to the hand painted designs.




I mounted the Designer Series Paper onto Old Olive card (#106576) which was attached to the Rich Razzleberry base card (#119981). The strip of DSP across the bottom part of the card is one of the sides with the silver foil and also attached to a piece of Old Olive card. The stamped leaves and sentiment are from the Painted Harvest stamp set (#p144783). The leaves were stamped with Old Olive ink (#126953) onto Old Olive card and punched with the Leaf Punch (#144667). These were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The sentiment was stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink (#126950), punched with the Everyday Label punch (#144668) and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Very quick and easy!

Have a great day.

Bundle Of Love Specialty designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

Today’s Designer Series Paper is Bundle Of Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (#144143). This pack has Gold Foil Designs on one side and vanilla with blue or pink on the reverse, and are great for special occasions.




I have used this for the background, and placed this over a piece of Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) which has been attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550). The cake from Sweet SoirĂ©e stamp set (#c145745, #w145521) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129) which was then heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The cake stand was cut with dies from the Sweet Cake Framelits Dies (#145617), again from the Gold Foil. Congratulations is from the Petal Palette stamp set (#c145788, #w145785) and cut with a die from the Petals and More Thinlits (#145655). I attached this and the cake to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The cake stand was glued using the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309).

That’s all for today.

Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper

Welcome,

I will be sad to see this gorgeous Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper (#144147) retire. The good news is that the co-ordinating Eastern Beauty stamp set (#p143675) and  Eastern Medallions Thinlits Dies (#143725) will still be available.




This DSP which has a beautiful gold foil design, has been attached to the Fresh Fig DSP from the same pack. This was then attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550). I cut the Medallion from Fresh Fig card (#144248) with 3 dies from the Eastern Medallions Thinlits. I adhered one of the gold stickers from the Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers (#144150) to a piece of Very Vanilla card, then cut it with co-ordinating dies. I attached this to the Fresh Fig Medallion with a Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430). The sentiment from the Eastern Beauty stamp set is stamped with Fresh Fig ink (#144082). I added 3 gold Metallic Sequins (#144214) to the card with the Fine-Tip Glue pen (#138309).
Simply Elegant!!


That’s all for today.

Coffee Break Designer Series Paper

Welcome again everyone,

This week I am going to highlight some of our current Designer Series Paper, but will be retired with the current catalogue at the end of May.






The DSP I have used today is Coffee Break (#144155). The base card is Whisper White (#106549) and the other cardstock is Soft Suede (#119982) and Pear Pizzaz (#131290). The sentiment is from the Balloon Celebration stamp set (#p140675) and stamped with Soft Suede ink (#126978). I cut this with a square from the Stitched Shapes Framelits (#145372). To cut a rectangle, firstly cut the square, but with it off centre. After cutting, move the die (as shown) to cut the rectangle, and roll through the big shot again.



The banner under the sentiment is cut 1” wide and the “v” is cut with the Banner Triple punch (#138292). The ribbon is 5/8” Burlap (#141487). I added the larger piece of Soft Suede card using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).


I hope you have a great week.

Cross Of Hope Sympathy card

Hi ladies & guys,

The Cross Of Hope Framelits (#145654) have been used to cut this beautifully detailed cross as well as the background cross.




I used Silver Foil sheet (#132178) and Wisteria Wonder card (#124389) for the cross. I cut the detailed cross with Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet (#144106) on the back of the silver foil, so you just need to remove the release paper to adhere the silver foil to the Wisteria Wonder cross. The base card is also Wisteria Wonder and the card front is Whisper White (#106549). I stamped the images from the Timeless Textures stamp set (#c140517, #w140514) onto the background with Wisteria Wonder ink (#126985). I then applied the Shimmery White Embossing Paste (#145645) with a palette knife (#142808) and used the brickwork mask from the Pattern Party Decorative Masks (#144103). This gives a lovely shimmery texture to the card. With Sympathy is from Flourishing Phrases stamp set (#c141534, #w141531) and stamped with Elegant Eggplant ink (#126969). I used an oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits (#145372) to cut the sentiment, then this was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The cross was also attached with Dimensionals.
The Wisteria Wonder Card and Ink, and Elegant Eggplant ink are the retiring products used on this card.


Enjoy your day.

Hello Friend

Hello friends,

I have used the Hello Friend stamp set (#c144059, #w144055) for this card, and yes it is another retiring set.




The cardstock for this card is Crushed Curry (#131288), Very Vanilla (#106550) and Soft Suede (#119982). I embossed the Very Vanilla cardfront with the Brick Wall Emboss Folder (#138288) - also retiring. I stamped the wreath, firstly with Crushed Curry ink (#131288), followed by VersaMark (#102283), so I could emboss with Clear Emboss Powder (#109130) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The Stamparatus makes this so easy to be able to perfectly stamp the ink and the VersaMark. This allows you to emboss any colour you wish to use, by using the clear Emboss powder with any colour ink. The sentiment and the image on the smaller circle were stamped with Crumb Cake ink (#126975). The circles were cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits (#145372) and the Layering Circles Framelits (#141705). The largest circle was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Celebrate and the banner outline are from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set (#p141614) and cut with the Classic Label punch (#141491). This was attached to the Burlap Ribbon (#141487). I added the flowers and leaves from the Touches Of Nature Elements (#144216) using Mini Glue Dots (#103683). These wooden embellishments also have a light whitewash finish on the reverse side, but the wooden side was perfect for this card.

Have a great weekend.

Guy Greetings with True Gentleman DSP

Welcome friends,

Another retiring stamp set which is a favourite of mine is the Guy Greetings stamp set (#c#138828, #w138825, #p137178).





The True Gentleman Designer Series Paper (#145593) - (also be retiring from the Occasions catalogue) - has been attached to the Night Of Navy base card (#106577). I stamped the images onto Very Vanilla card (#106550). The sentiment, car and tools are all from Guy Greetings and the dots are from the Timeless Textured stamp set (#140517, #w140514). The inks I used are Night Of Navy (#126970) and Crumb Cake (#126975). The rectangular piece of card was attached to Tranquil Tide card and mounted to the base card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I punched the sentiment with the Tailored Tag punch (#145667), then punched a piece of Night Of Navy, cut it in half longways and taped it to the back of the sentiment and attached this to the card.

That’s all for today.
