Wild & Sweet

Hi stamping friends,

As an Aussie I am so pleased to have this cute koala as part of the Wild & Sweet stamp set (#158775). We have the occasional koala on our property which is always very exciting to see them just outside our door.

The koala was stamped with Crumb Cake ink (#147116). I used Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885) for the leaves and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#154882) for the branch as well as some Granny Apple Green. I lightly coloured the sky with a Blending Brush (#153611) and Balmy Blue ink (#147105). The koala image and the Mossy Meadow card (#133683) were cut with the Layering Diorama dies (#155565).

For the card front I used Very Vanilla Card (#106550). I dragged one edge of the Soft Sea Foam ink pad (#147102) down the card. The leaves from the Forever Fern stamp set (#152559) were stamped onto the card with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111), Old Olive Ink (#147090) and Pear Pizzazz ink (#147104). Next I dragged the VersaMark pad (#102283) twice down the card to cover the entire card. Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) was sprinkled over the entire card, then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This gives a lovely shine over the whole card.

“Hello” is from the Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) and stamped with Mossy Meadow ink. A Beautiful Shapes Die (#158046) was used to cut the sentiment. The koala & sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Texture Chic

Hello everyone,

I love the elegance of the Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper (#158808). This paper has gold designs on one side of each sheet and the other sides have a beautiful range of designs which co-ordinate with the Season Of Chic stamp set (#158810). I have used the beautiful shells for this card.

The DSP was matted with Petal Pink card (#147009). I cut another piece of DSP with a Layering Diorama Die (#155565) and attached this to the card front. I backed a piece of Basic White card (#159228) with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) and cut this with a die from the Chic dies (#158815), then adhered it to the card. The base card is Basic White.

I stamped the 2 shells from the Season Of Chic stamp set, one on Basic White card and the 2nd on Petal Pink card using Petal Pink ink (#147108). These shells and the Gold Foil shells from the Brushed Metallic cardstock (#153524) were cut with the Chic dies. 

The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped with Petal Pink ink. The circles were cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183). The sentiment and one of the shells were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Cottage Rose

Hi friends,

One of my favourite stamp sets in the Annual catalogue is the Cottage Rose stamp set (#159040) and it’s easy to colour with your favourite colouring tools.

I stamped the floral image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). This ink is great when colouring with Stampin’ Blends as I have done on this card. The Stampin’ Blends used are Starry Sky (#159222) for the flower, Soft Succulent (#155521) for the leaves and Sweet Sorbet (#159224) for the buds. I also used the Color Lifter (#144608) to remove some colour from the flower to give more variation in the colours. I also used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add that little bit of sparkle to the flower. This was then cut with a Cottage Flowers Die (#159047).

The Vellum 12”x12” Layering Design (#157764) was matted with Starry Sky card (#159264). I attached this with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) on the 4 corners then added the 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots (#159186) on top as the glue dots will show through the vellum.

I wrapped the Starry Sky Metallic Woven Ribbon (#159198) around the card front before attaching this to the Basic White card base (#159228).

“Happy Birthday” is also from the Cottage Rose stamp set and stamped with Starry Sky ink (#159212). A Frosted Flurry Die (#159811) was used to cut the sentiment. The flower & sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the Timber 3D Embossing folder (#156406). I daubered the edges with Sweet Sorbet ink (#159216) before attaching this to the Basic White base card.

I attached a strip of the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237) to the card front, then attached the matted stamped image. “Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

Hues Of Happiness

Hi again,

I love the vibrant colours in the Hues Of Happiness Designer Series Paper (#158822). This also co-ordinates with the Happiness Abounds Bundle (#158824).

I created the holes along the top of the DSP with one of the Blossoming Happiness Dies (#158823), then attached the DSP to the Daffodil Delight card (#121680). The base card is Basic White.

The flower and leaves are from the Happiness Abounds stamp set (#159238). These were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I used Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) to colour the flower and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885) for the leaves. These were cut with the Blossoming Happiness Dies.

Happy Birthday is from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763). I used VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set this with the Heat Tool (#129056). A Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820) was used to cut the sentiment.

The sentiment, flower & leaves were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#158130) were added to the sentiment.

TIP: Some of this designer paper has flower & leaf images that co-ordinate with the dies which makes this suite very versatile.

Here’s an easy card for the music lover using the guitar from the Rugged Icons Dies (#159104).

I applied Adhesive Sheets (#152334) to the back of the Distressed Gold and Soft Suede card (#119982) before cutting these with the guitar die. I attached the outline of the Gold & Soft Suede card, then attached the gold paper inside the Soft Suede outline.
