Crafting Forever

Hi,

I love this sentiment - “crafting forever, housework whenever”. I’m sure all crafters agree with this.

The sentiment and paint brush images are from the Crafting Forever stamp set (#c151231). I used Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (#132708) for the brushes and Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) for the sentiment. I coloured the brushes and pot with Stampin’ Blends. They include Bronze (#144607), Ivory (#144606), Dark Poppy Parade (#146879), Mossy Meadow combo (#148547), Light Night Of Navy (#144036), Daffodil Delight Combo (#144603) and Light Balmy Blue (#148540). This Whisper White card and the Daffodil Delight card are cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies (#148551). The See A Silhouette Designer Series Paper (#149449) was attached to the Whisper White base card. Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the sentiment to the card and Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#150457). 

Have a crafty day.

Free As A Bird

Hello again,

The beautiful birds from the Free As A Bird stamp set (#c149468) was another image I had amongst a lot of other unused stamped images which I came across in my clean up the other day.

The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Whisper White card (#106549). The Stampin’ Blends used to colour this image are Balmy Blue Combo (#148544), Daffodil Delight Combo (#144603), Flirty Flamingo combo (#147278), Purple Posy combo (#149566), Light Old Olive (#144574), Dark Real Red (#147934) and Light Crumb Cake (#144582). This image was fussy cut and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Whisper White cardfront was stamped with the Birch Background stamp (#c149256) using Crumb Cake ink (#121685). “Birthday” is from the Perennial Birthday stamp set (#c151240) and stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). This image is actually “happy birthday” but I wasn’t wanting to stamp that, so when I inked the stamp I covered the word happy to avoid getting ink on it. I removed the paper before stamping and was able to stamp Birthday without a problem. A post it note is great for doing this. “Happy” is cut with a die from the Merry Christmas To All Dies (#147912) from the Real Red Glimmer Paper (#150427) and glued to the card with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). The base card is Real Red (#106578). 

Have a great day.

Dandelion Wishes

Hello and welcome.

I was having a clean up (never ending around here) and I had this card front stamped so thought I would finish making a card with it.

I stamped the background using one of the images from the Bokeh Dots stamp set (#151368) onto Whisper White card (#106549) using Seaside Spray ink (#150085). Then I stamped the Dandelions from the Dandelion Wishes stamp set (#c151345) using Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138). These colours go so well together. The cardfront was attached to the Seaside Spray card (#150889). I made a frame also from Seaside Spray card using 2 of the Stitched Rectangles Dies (#148551) and embossed it with the Subtles 3D Embossing Folder (#151775). The frame was then attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). Happy Birthday is from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (#c151331), stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink and punched with the Classic Label punch (#141491). The Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) were added to the centre of the dandelions.

Enjoy your day.

Bells Are Ringing

Hi,

The Bells Are Ringing stamp set (#p150476) is a 2-step set, which allows you to add different images to this bell.

I stamped the bell onto Real Red card (#106578) with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Shimmer White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#149511) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The images on the bell were stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) to give a subtle image. This was then cut with the Detailed Bells Dies (#150656). I embossed the Whisper White cardfront (#106549) with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder (#151775). The white square was embossed with the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder (#150646). The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set (#150513) and stamped with Real Red ink. This was punched with the Tailored Tag punch (#145667). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the bell and the sentiment. The Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel Dots (#150433) were added to finish the card.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Let It Ride

Hello friends,

It’s a while since I made a masculine card, so here is one for horse lovers.

The background stamp is All Wired Up (#149262) and I stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#141636) then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The cardfront is Very Vanilla (#106550). Happy Birthday is from the Magnolia Blooms stamp set (#152729) and stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Very Vanilla Card. The sentiment and the Basic Black card (#121688) behind it were punched with the Tailored Tag punch (#145667). The ribbon is 5/8” Burlap Ribbon (#141487). The horse and sentiment are both attached with Stampin Dimensionals (#104430). The base card is Crumb Cake and Basic Black card was used to matt part of the cardfront.

It’s the weekend again already. Have a great one.

Sympathy Card

Hi Ladies & guys,

I needed a Sympathy card so I have used the Cross Of Hope Dies (#145654) and the Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder (#151823), and both of these represent the person that this card is for.

I used a full sheet of the Shimmery White card (#121717) and folded it in half. I embossed a smaller piece of Shimmery White card with the Country Floral 3D embossing folder and I matted this with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). I used the Stitched Nested Labels Dies (#149638) to cut the Gold & white card for sentiment and the pieces under the cross. The cross was cut with dies from the Cross Of Hope Dies and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The sentiment is from the Painted Glass stamp set (#c151243) and stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The Shimmery White card has a lovely shimmer however I added extra shimmer to the embossed floral card using Frost White Shimmer Paint (#147046). 

Have a great day.

Christmas Layers Dies

Hi everyone,

Night Of Navy and Copper go so well together and look great on this Christmas card.

The cardstock is Very Vanilla (#106550) and the Designer Series Paper is Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP (#150429). The Copper Foil Sheet (#142020) was used for the leaves which were cut with a die from Christmas Layers Dies (#150654). I wrapped the 1/2” Classic Weave Ribbon (#150394) around the cardfront, which I had embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder (#149643). The baubles and sentiment were stamped with Night Of Navy ink (#147110). The baubles are from the Christmas Gleaming stamp set (#c150464) and the sentiment from the Christmas Rose stamp set (#152431) - available from 1st November. The baubles were punched with the Gleaming Ornaments Punch pack (#150647). This pack has 2 different size Bauble punches. The sentiment was cut with a die from the Roses Dies (#152144), then attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the leaves and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used for the baubles.  I added the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (150457) to the top of the baubles.

Enjoy your day.
