Magnolia Blooms Stamp Set

Hello friends,

There is a new brochure which is great for the beginner stamper and the Magnolia Blooms Stamp set (#p152729) is included in this brochure, and the magnolia on this card is from this set.




I stamped the Magnolia with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129), then fussy cut. The Designer Series Paper is Garden Lane (#149488) and this was attached to the Whisper White base card (#106549). “Thank You” from the Magnolia Bloom stamp set was also heat embossed in Gold and attached to the fancy band which was cut with a die from the Detailed Bands Dies (#149549) from Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). The magnolia was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). You may be able to see some gold “splotches” on the Designer Series Paper. These were heat embossed in Gold with an image from the Artisan Textures stamp set (#c151278). 

Have a great day.

Perennial Essence Vellum Cardstock

Hi,

The pack of Perennial Essence 12”x12” Vellum Cardstock (#149101) consists of 3 colours of translucent coloured Vellum in Old Olive, Petal Pink and So Saffron. Each of these colours have been used on this card.



I stamped the flower from the Floral Essence stamp set (#149450) using Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092) onto the Petal Pink Vellum. The ink takes a while to dry on this vellum, so it was a good chance to add the Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109130) and heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056). If you don’t want to emboss this just leave it to dry or dry it with the heat tool. The flower was then fussy cut. I stamped the centre of the flower with So Saffron ink (#147109) onto So Saffron card (#108611) and also fussy cut it and attached it to the flower with a Mini Glue Dot (#103683). The green  leaves were punched with the Leaf Punch (#144667) from the Old Olive Vellum. The yellow leaves were cut with dies from the Detailed Peacock Dies (#149582) using the So Saffron vellum. I stamped the background on the Very Vanilla card (#106550) using images from the Artisan Textures stamp set (#c151278) and Delightful Day stamp set (#p149466) with So Saffron ink, Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092) - stamped off, Highland Heather ink (#147103) and Petal Pink ink (#147108). The Designer Series Paper is from the Perennial Essence DSP (#149100). The greeting from Painted Glass stamp set (#c148220) was stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink. The base card is Blackberry Bliss (#133682).

Well, the weekend is here already. Have a great one.

Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper

Welcome again,

The Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper (#149100) is a beautiful collection of “hand painted impressionistic imagery in rich colours” and are some of my very favourite papers, maybe because there is a lot of purple (which is my favourite colour).




I have paired this with the Purple Posy paper from the 2019-2021 In Color 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#149617). I have separated the  2 papers with a small piece of Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) which I gave a stitched look using a die from the Stitched Nested Labels Dies (#149638). The sentiment is from the Floral Essence stamp set (#p149450) and stamped with Purple Posy ink (150084). I also stamped the flower twice from the same set with Purple Posy ink, onto Purple Posy card (#150887). The co-ordinating punch is the Perennial Flower punch (#149522). The 2 flowers were attached with a Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430). The leaves were stamped with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111) onto Mossy Meadow card (#133683) and fussy cut. I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the leaves and the flower to the card. The sentiment on the Whisper White card (#106549) was cut with the Stitched Shapes Dies (#145372) and the Gorgeous Grape card under this was cut with the Layering Squares Dies (#141708). The base card is Whisper White

Have a great day.

Royal Peacock

Hello everyone,

This peacock from the Royal Peacock stamp set (#p149464) is just beautiful. It is a 2-step stamp which allows you to have the 2 different colours as I have done on this card.




I stamped the first image of the peacock using Coastal Cabana ink (#147097) on Very Vanilla card (#106550). Then I stamped the second image of the feathers using VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I cut this with a die from the Stitched Rectangles (#148551). This rectangle die was too wide for what I wanted so after cutting the full die cut, I then moved the die to cut off more of the right side only. This was attached to the Coastal Cabana card (#131302). I embossed the Very Vanilla base card with the Beads & Baubles Embossing Folder (#149713). The sentiment is from the Royal Peacock stamp set and stamped with Coastal Cabana ink. This was cut with a Stitched Nested Die (#149638) as was the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) under the sentiment. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).
The Detailed Peacock Dies (#149582) co-ordinate with this stamp set, and the stamp set and dies are also available in the Royal Peacock bundle (#151100).

I hope your day has been great.

Sailing Home

Hello,

The Sailing Home Bundle (#c151066) is a great set for masculine cards.






For the base card and frame I used Whisper White card (#106549). The cardfront is Seaside Spray (#150889) and for “birthday” I used Blueberry Bushel card (#146991). I stamped the “wavy lines” from the Artisan Textures Stamp set (#c151278) onto the Seaside Spray card using VersaMark (#102283). This gives a watermark effect on the card. The larger boat and “wishes” were stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138) and the smaller boat with Seaside Spray ink (#150085). The boats were cut with the Smooth Sailing Dies (#149576) and the larger one was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I cut the frame and embossed it with the Heirloom Frames Dies and 3D Embossing Folders (#152325). With these dies & folders, cut the frame first, then emboss,  as it is easier to line up the embossing folder with the cut frame. The frame was then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. “Birthday” is cut with a die from the Well Written Dies (#148534) and “Wishes” is in the Well Said stamp set (#c148796) which co-ordinates with the Well Written Dies. I used the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309) to glue the “birthday” to the card.

Have a great day.

To A Wild Rose Bundle

Hello Ladies & Guys,

To A Wild Rose stamp set (#p149452) and is a 2 step stamp, which means you can layer 2 or more images, which I have done on these roses.




First, I stamped the circles from the Swirley Frames stamp set (#p146519) onto the Whisper White card (#106549). These were stamped with Sahara Sand ink (#147117). “Birthday Wishes” from Butterfly Wishes stamp set (#c149346) was stamped with Petal Pink ink (#147108). I then sprayed this with Frost White Shimmer Paint (#147046) then embossed with the Subtles 3D Embossing Folder (#151775). The edges were sponged with Petal Pink ink. I stamped the outline image of the flowers with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with the Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129) and heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056). Then using the second image I stamped the flower with Petal Pink ink. The photopolymer stamps enable you to line up the images very easily. The next image I inked with Petal Pink ink again then stamped off first before stamping on the flower. This gave a very subtle colour to the background of the flower. After stamping all images I cut the flower with a die from the co-ordinating Wild Rose Dies (#149547). The leaves were stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) onto Soft Sea Foam card (#147012), then cut with a die from the same set. One flower was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430), then Gold Metallic Pearls (#146282) were added to the card.

I hope you are having a great weekend.

Magnolia Lane Memories & More Card Pack

Welcome again,

The beauty about the Memories & More card packs is that you can make a very simple card or add some extras for a stepped up card. I have used the Magnolia Lane Memories & More Card Pack (#149554) as well as the Magnolia Lane Large Specialty Memories & More Cards & Envelopes (#149487) and a few extras.






Included with the envelopes are printed envelope liners which finish the envelopes beautifully.
The 2 printed cards are from the Magnolia Lane Memories & More Card Pack. I matted the smaller card with a piece of the Copper Foil Sheet (#142020). Happy Birthday is from the Magnolia Blooms stamp set (#152729). This set is in the new Beginners Brochure. This is a great tool to introduce the beginner stamper to Stampin’ Up!. I stamped the greeting with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#141636) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with a Stitched Nested Labels Die (#149638). I also cut a smaller one from the Copper Foil and attached it to the Whisper White (#106549) label. Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach this to the card. A Copper Designer Elements embellishment  (#149586) was added to the label. I cut the leaves using the Magnolia Memory Dies (#149578) from Old Olive from the Noble Peacock Foil Sheets (#149495) and glued them to the card with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309).


Another week is over. Where do the weeks go?
