Poinsettia Petals Bundle

Hello friends,

I am enjoying playing with the beautiful Poinsettia Petals Bundle (#p155148) which is now available from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalogue.

I have used Very Vanilla card (#106550) for the base and card front. I dry embossed the card front with the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (#152702) which is currently my favourite embossing folder. I sponged the edges with Real Red ink (#106578). I cut the Red Velvet Paper (#153490) with a Stitched Nested Labels Die (#149638) and attached this to the card. I wrapped the Real Red 3/8” Sheer Ribbon (#153535) around the card. Before cutting the Poinsettias I sprayed the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint (#147044) on some Very Vanilla card. I cut 3 layers of the petals to make up the Poinsettia using the Poinsettia Dies (#153522). I used Just Jade card (#153084) for the leaves. I sponged the edges of the flower with Real Red ink and Just Jade ink (#153115) for the leaves. I also used the Red Velvet Paper for the flower centre. I assembled the flower with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and attached the flower to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). “Happy Christmas” is from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set (#c150513) and stamped with Just Jade ink and cut with a Stitched Nested Labels die and attached with Dimensionals.

There are so many exciting new products in the new mini catalogue. If you live in Australia and would like one please contact me.

Have a great day.

Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder

Hi and welcome to another week,

The August-December 2020 Mini Catalogue is available from Tuesday 4th August so I am using some new products on this card as well as others from the Annual Catalogue.

The base card is Whisper White (#106549), followed by Garden Green card (#108605). I dry embossed the Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) with the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder (#153576). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) on the embossed trees. This not only added glimmer to the trees but also slightly darkened the trees. I attached the ‘Tis The Season 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#153489) to the card, then wrapped the 3/8” Double-Stitched Satin Ribbon (#151155) around the card. I coloured the berries on the Designer Paper (which were white) with Real Red Stampin’ Blends (#154899). Christmas Blessings is from the Wrapped In Christmas stamp set (#153481) and this was stamped with Garden Green ink (#147089) and I used a die from the Stitched Rectangles (#151820) to cut it. There isn’t a die this size in the set, so I cut it then repositioned it to get the correct size. The sentiment is attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The leaves were cut from Garden Green card with the Beautiful Boughs Dies (#150661). I also used the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush on these leaves. The Red Velvet Paper (#153490) was used to cut the berries from the Poinsettia Dies (#153522). The leaves were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683) for the berries. A Real Red Wonderful Gem (#153536) was added to the sentiment.

Enjoy your day!!

Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper

Hello,

I always say that you can make a quick and easy card when you have beautiful designer paper like the Flowers For Every Season 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper (#152486).

Whisper White card (#106549) was used for the base card and I also used it for the card front which was dry embossed with the beautiful Dainty Diamonds 3D embossing Folder (#152702). I cut the Just Jade DSP with one of the Stitched Triangles Dies (#152710). The floral DSP was attached to a piece of Magenta Madness card (#153085). The Magenta Madness 2020-2022 In Color 1/4” Ribbon (#153623) was wrapped around the card. The sentiment from the Free As A Bird stamp set (#149468) was stamped with Magenta Madness ink (#153117) and the ends were punched with the Banners Pick A Punch (#153608). The sentiment was then attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I added the Elegant Faceted Gems (#152464) to the sentiment.

I hope you have a crafty weekend!!

Box card

Welcome friends,

If you like fancy fold cards here is a Box card, and it’s not too hard to make but looks impressive.

I cut the Whisper White card (#106549) 6” x10-1/2” to make the box. This was scored on the long side at 2-1/2”, 5”, 7-1/2” and 10”. I then scored on the short side at 3-1/4”. See diagram below.

You need 2 pieces of Whisper White card cut at 3-1/2” x 1/2” and scored at 1/2” at each end. These are for inside the box to attach the flowers etc to.

Assemble the box so that the front and sides fold down and the back piece stands up.. 

I then attached pieces of Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper to the inside of the back, the flaps and under the flaps.

I stamped the small daisies from the Daisy Lane stamp set (#c149325) using Daffodil Delight ink (#147094), Terracotta Tile ink (#150086) and Gold Embossing Powder. These were punched with the Medium Daisy Punch (#149517) and I used 2 flowers to assemble each daisy. I attached each daisy to a small strip of Window Sheet (#142314) and attached them to the pieces of card inside the box. I cut the leaves using the dies from the Poppy Moments (#151594) using Mossy Meadow card (#133683), Old Olive (#106576) and Pear Pizzaz (#131290). “Happy Birthday” is cut with the retired Happy Birthday die from Terracotta Tile card (#150890) and glued this to the back of the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). I added retired Gold Faceted Gems to the centre of the daisies.

Have a great day.

Last A Lifetime

Hi everyone,

Isn’t the Magenta Madness such a vibrant colour and I have only used a small amount on this card.

The base card and card front are Very Vanilla card (#106549). I cut the Magenta Madness card (#153085) with the Ornate Borders Dies (#152724). This was attached to the Very Vanilla card which was dry embossed with one of the Meadow Moments embossing folder (#153126). The Ribbon is Magenta Madness 2020-2022 In Color 1/4” Ribbon (#153623). I attached the Gold Hoop Embellishment (#152474) with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) in a place where they would be covered. The leaves from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (#152493) were also attached with Mini Glue Dots. I stamped the floral image from the Last A Lifetime stamp set (#c151479) with VersaMark (#102283) and sprinkled it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was then cut with the co-ordinating die from the Lasting Elegance Dies (#151475). This was then coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Magenta Madness (#153106), Granny Apple Green (#154885) and Mango Melody (#154888). I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach this to the card. “Celebrate” is from the Many Mates stamp set (#c152633) and stamped with Magenta Madness ink (#153117). I cut the sentiment with an Ornate Frames die (#150664) and added the Gold Metallic Trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (#152475). This was also attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. 

Enjoy whatever it is you are doing today.
