Blessings Of Home Bundle

Hello,

I find colouring is very relaxing, so I love colouring this beautiful floral image from the Blessings Of Home stamp set (#157930) with Stampin’ Blends.

The Stampin’ Blends used are Balmy Blue (#154830), Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Pale Papaya (#155519), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Fresh Freesia (#155518), Granny Apple Green (#154885) and Poppy Parade (#154958). A die from the Flowers Of Home Dies (#157938) was used to cut the image.

The foliage was also cut with the Flowers Of Home Dies and I used Gold Foil Sheets (#132622) which had been backed with Adhesive sheet (#152334).

One of the designs from the Abstract Beauty 4”x6” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#158039) was used for the background. I used the Detailed Trio Punch (#146320) to punch the top left corner. This was then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). The flowers were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430)

The sentiment is also from the Blessings Of Home stamp set and stamped with Night Of Navy ink (#147110). This was cut with the Messages Die (#154422) and taped on the flowers.

Very Versailles & masking technique

Hi stamping friends,

I have been using the masking technique again on this card.

I used the larger heart from the Bouquet Of Love Dies (#157641) to cut a piece of scrap card and a piece of photocopy paper. This can be done at the same time. These were used for the masks. I placed the piece of scrap card with the heart cut out onto the Basic White card front (#159228). I used Polished Pink ink (#155712) and a Blending Brush (#153611) to create the heart. I removed the scrap card and replaced it with the photocopy paper as this is thinner and is a better mask when stamping. (See below).  I stamped the verse from the Very Versailles stamp set (#149275) with Crumb Cake ink (#147116) on top of the heart.

Then I placed the heart from the photocopy paper over the pink heart and stamped the foliage also from the Very Versailles stamp set onto the card with Pear Pizzaz ink (#147104).

Next I dry embossed the card front with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (#152718), then matted it with Polished Pink card (#155711) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

The smallest heart was cut with a Sweet Heart die (#157623) and the other heart with a die from Bouquet Of Love. I used Polished Pink card for both these hearts. Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the larger heart to the card and a Mini Glue Dot (#103683) for the small heart.  The Supple Shimmer Specialty Paper (#158068) was attached to the card front. “Happy Anniversary” from Elegantly Said stamp set (#155095) was stamped with Polished Pink ink and cut with another die from Bouquet Of Love, then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The embellishments are the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#158130).

TIP: When stamping & dry embossing the card front, stamp first then emboss. If you emboss first you won’t get a good stamped image because of the uneven surface.

Dragonfly Garden

Hi friends,

A simple masking technique was used for the circle on this card.

I punched a 2”circle from a post it note and placed it on the Basic White card front (#159228). The circle was created by blending Pool Party ink (#147107) with a Blending Brush (#153611) onto the white card. I then used Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) at the bottom of the card.

I stamped the floral image and sentiment from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set (#154411) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (132708). The sentiment was cut with a Waves Die (#158840). I threaded the White Glittered Organdy Ribbon (#156408) through the sentiment label and wrapped it around the card front. The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The card front was matted with Basic Black card (#121688).

The base card is Pool Party (#124391) and the embellishments are from the new Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels (#159396).

TIP: Post it notes are great for making masks as it is a thin paper and it has the sticky area so you can attached it to the card and remove it easily.

Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

I am still thinking of all those in the devastating flooded areas along the east coast of Australia. Hoping you are all safe and take care.

Todays card is an easy one using Designer Paper. You could choose any DSP for this card. I chose the Artfully Composed 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#157750).

I attached 2 of the designs from this pack onto Evening Evergreen card (#155575) and then this was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). I coloured the white side of one of the Heart & Home Doilies (#157956) using a Blending Brush (#153611) and Evening Evergreen ink (#155576).

I cut another piece of the same DSP with a label die from the Bloom Dies (#155989). This was taped to the card. The gold trim is from the Simply Elegant Trim (#155766). “Happy Birthday” is from the Flowing Flowers stamp set (#157880) and stamped with Evening Evergreen ink. I used a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820) to cut the sentiment, then attached it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The 3 embellishments are the (retired) Matt Decorative Dots.

TIP: The Heart & Home Doilies come in 3 colours - Basic Gray, Cinnamon Cider & Misty Moonlight. However you can have any colour by colouring the back of the doilies which is white. Just use Blending Brushes and any coloured ink.

Hello my stamping friends,

Sale-a-bration is continuing till 16th March (in Australia) so there is still time to get your free products with a qualifying order. I have used a couple of  Sale-a-bration products on todays card.

I stamped the flowers from the Calming Camellia stamp set (#158117) with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052) onto Basic White card (#159228). I used the Bouquet Of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder (#157641) to cut the heart and emboss another piece of  Basic White card. This was placed over the stamped flowers using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430), then I matted this with Flirty Flamingo card (#141421).

I attached the Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper (#158128) to the Basic White base card. The row of hearts were cut with a die from the Sweet Heart Dies (#157623). The Flirty Flamingo card was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting with the die. The smaller individual heart is also cut  from the Bouquet Of Love Dies and attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) and stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink. The die to cut this is from the Ornate Frames (#150664) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Waves Of Inspiration

Hi everyone,

At last the rain has stopped here, although heading south and causing flooding in so many areas, so thinking of everyone in all the disaster areas. Please stay safe.

The Waves Of Inspiration Bundle (#158841) is an early release from the upcoming 2022/2023 annual catalogue, due in May. You can purchase this bundle as well as other products in the collection from 1st March. 

I have just had my first play with some of the products.

I stamped the wave from the Waves Of Inspiration stamp set (#158833) onto a piece of the New Horizons Designer Series Paper (#157768) with Balmy Blue ink (#147105). I stamped the pelican on the post from the same stamp set, with Soft Suede ink (#147115) and Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). These were cut with a die from the Waves Dies (#158840). I cut the pelican from both images and used the Soft Suede posts and the black pelican. The pelican was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Another product included in the Waves Of Ocean collection (#161797) is the Blue Foils Specialty Paper (#159983). There are 3 colours included in this pack - Coastal Cabana, Night Of Navy & Silver. I used the Coastal Cabana & Night Of Navy foils for the waves cut with the Waves dies. I had adhered the Adhesive Sheets (#152334) to the back of the foils for ease of attaching these detailed cut-outs to the card.

“Happy Birthday” is one of the sentiments from the Waves Of Inspiration stamp set and cut with another Waves die. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

TIP: The stamp set & dies are available from 1st March and will also be available in the next annual catalogue. The Waves Of Ocean Designer Series Paper (#159982), Blue Foils Specialty Paper and the Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels (#159396) are available from 1st March and while stocks last.

Dahlia Days

Hello again,

The rain still hasn’t stopped here and hasn’t let up all day. Hopefully everyone in the flooded areas are safe. On the positive side, it’s good weather for crafting!!

The patterned paper is from the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper (#155426). I cut 2 triangles and attached these to the Real Red card (#106578), then this was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The dahlias, leaves and sentiment are all from the Dahlia Days stamp set (#157799). I used Pacific Point ink (#147098) and Real red ink (#147084) for the dahlias. The leaves were stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) and the sentiment with Real red ink. The flowers & leaves were cut with dies from the Detailed Dahlias (#157801). The dies to cut the sentiment and the Real Red card under the sentiment are from the Ornate Frames (#150664).

The leaves and blue flower were taped to the card and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used for the red flower and sentiment. The Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) were attached to the card.
