Game On stamp set

Hi and welcome,

Time for another masculine card. The Game On stamp set (#152646) is great for the man in your life.




The designer series paper is World Of Good Specialty DSP (#152491). This pack has antique designs and textures with Brass Foil designs on some of the sheets. The black with brass foil designer paper was cut with the Stitched Triangle Dies (#152710). I stamped an image from the Game On stamp set onto the Bumble Bee coloured DSP, using Sahara Sand ink (#147117). The sentiment, chess pieces and dice are all from the same stamp set. The sentiment was stamped with Bumble Bee ink (#153116) and cut with an Ornate Frames Die (#150664). The chess pieces and dice were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) on Sahara Sand card (#121695). This was embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109132) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). These were fussy cut before attaching to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Have a great day & keep crafting!!

Borders Abound stamp set

Hello everyone,

I stamped the background of the Whisper White card (#106549) using 2 images from the Borders Abound stamp set (#c152627).




To stamp the background I used the “Hinge-Step technique” using the Stamparatus (#148187). I stamped the first image using Crumb Cake ink (#147116) then moved the plate down one hinge, re-stamped, then continued to the bottom of the card. Then I set up the 2nd image in between these images to fill in the gaps and using the hinge- step technique till all gaps were filled. I attached the card front to Pretty Peacock card (#150886). I cut a circle with the Stitched Shapes Die (#152323) from Pretty Peacock card, the embossed this with the Seabed 3D Embossing Folder (#152700). I attached one of the Gold Hoops Embellishments (#152474) to the Pretty Peacock circle. I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the hoop, where the other elements would cover them. The sentiment is from the Woven Heirlooms stamp set (#c149306) and also cut with a Stitched Shapes Die. I used Pretty Peacock ink (#150083). The bird from the Birds & Branches stamp set (#p152570) was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink and Crumb Cake ink. The bird was cut with a die from the Birds & More Dies (#152721). The dies for the leaves are from the Forever Flourishing Dies (#152714) and I used Pretty Peacock card and Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). The ribbon to make the bow is the Very Vanilla/Gold 1/4” Pleated Ribbon from the Boho Indigo Product Medley (#153132) and was attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). Gold Glitter Enamel Dots (#152155) were attached to the sentiment and one for the birds eye.

Stay safe & keep crafting!!

Birds & Branches

Hi everyone,

If you love cute little birds you will love this Birds & Branches Bundle (#154107).




The Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) was cut with 2 dies from the Birds & More Dies (#152721), then embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (#152718). The branch, flowers and bird were also all cut with these dies. I used Garden Green card (#108605) for the branch and Poppy Parade card (#121694) for the bird. I stamped the flowers from the Birds & Branches stamp set (#152570) using Bumble Bee ink (#153116) and added the Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) to the flower centres. I used the Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of the Garden Green card before cutting the branch. I am so pleased to see the return of adhesive sheets as it makes it so easy to attach more detailed die cuts to your project. “Happy Birthday” is from the Many Mates stamp set (#c152633) and stamped with Poppy Parade ink (#147050), then cut with a Stitched So Sweetly Die (#151690). The sentiment, bird and flowers were all attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I couldn’t resist adding sparkle to the bird and flowers using the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897).

Have a great day.

So Much Love stamp set

Hello ladies & guys,

I love the soft tones in this pretty card using the So Much Love stamp set (#c152667).



I attached a piece of the Soft Sea Foam designer paper from the 6”x6” Subtles Designer Series Paper (#153072) to the Whisper White base card (#106549). The next layer is Whisper White which was cut with the Ornate Layers Dies (#152726). On top of this is a piece of Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) which was cut with a Stitched Rectangles die (#151820). This is a perfect fit for the Ornate Layers cut out. I then embossed this with the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (#152702). I stamped the flower from the So Much Love stamp set with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and coloured it with the following Stampin’ Blends - Just Jade (#153107), Flirty Flamingo (#154884) and Cinnamon Cider (#153105). The sparkle on the flower was added with the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897). After fussy cutting, the flower was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). “Celebrate” is one of a variety of sentiments in the Many Mates stamp set (#152633) and stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052). I cut this with a Stitched Nested Labels Die (#149638) and it was also attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Boho Indigo Product Medley

Welcome friends,

You can let your creativity run free with the Boho Indigo Product Medley (#153132). It has almost everything you need for cards or scrapbooking and when you run out of the consumables you can get more with the Refill Kit (#153925). Included in the pack is a stamp set, dies, designer papers, ribbon, embossed sheets, gold foil accents and paper flowers.
For this card I combined some products from this Medley as well as using some other beautiful products.




First I punched the corners of the Whisper White base card (#106549) with the Detailed Trio Punch (#146320). The designer paper is from the Product Medley. I cut a piece of Whisper White card with a die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (#151690), then embossed it with the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (#152702). I just love this embossing folder with the beautiful delicate embossing. The vase was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) onto Misty Moonlight card (#153086). The White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109132) was sprinkled over the stamped image, then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The coordinating die was used to cut out the vase. The Silver Foil Sheet (#132178) was used for the leaves which were also cut with a die from this product medley. The vase was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I used the Fine Tip Glue Pen (#138309) to attach the leaves. The flowers are also from this same set, however they are white so I coloured them with the Light Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends (#153108). Then I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) to add the glitter to the flowers. These were then attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The 3/8” Denim Ribbon was wrapped around the card.

I hope your weekend is a crafty one!!

So Much love

Hello everyone,

The Magenta Madness is such a vibrant pink colour which I have used here on this card.




The Whisper White card front (#106549) was embossed with the beautiful Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (#152702). I sponged the edges with Magenta Madness ink (#153117) then attached this to the base card. The Whisper White card and Magenta Madness card (#153085) were both cut with a die from the Stitched Rectangles Dies (#152710). The flower is from the So Much Love stamp set (#c152667) and I used Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (#132708). This was fussy cut and coloured with Stampin’ Blends. The colours used are Magenta Madness (#153106), Just Jade (#153107), Cinnamon Cider (#153105) and Daffodil Delight (#154883). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) to add the sparkle to the flower. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). “Happy” & “Birthday” are dies from the Well Written Dies (#151816) and I used the new Rainbow Glimmer Paper (#153056). I used the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309) to glue the words to the card. I coloured the Pearl Basic Jewels (#144219) with the Magenta Madness Stampin’ Blends before attaching to the card.

Enjoy a crafty weeekend!!

Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper

Hello and welcome,

The Flowers For Every Season 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#152486) have a range of beautiful flowers for each of the 4 seasons as well as small patterns on the reverse, giving you a wide variety of choice. The colours are in the new 2020-2022 In colors  which are Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Misty Moonlight, Bumble Bee as well as Poppy Parade and Whisper White.




I cut the designer paper with a die from the Tasteful Labels (#152886) and rounded the corners with the Detailed Trio Punch (#146320). “Birthday Wishes” is from the Butterfly Wishes stamp set (#149346) and stamped with Bumble Bee ink (#153116). The leaves from the Tasteful Touches stamp set (#c152562) were stamped with Pear Pizzaz ink (#147104). I attached Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to the back of the Designer Paper and attached this to the Whisper White card (#106549). The flower is also from the Tasteful Touches stamp set. This was stamped with Bumble Bee ink and then re-stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109130) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I fussy cut the flower and attached it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The die cut leaves are actually from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (#152493). I used the white side and daubered it with Pear Pizzaz ink and I glued these to the card with the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). I find the easiest way to add glue to these fine die cuts is to add some glue to a Silicon Craft Sheet (#127853), then dab a sponge into the glue, then sponge lightly onto the cutouts. The ribbon and gold trim are from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (#152475).

Enjoy your day!!
