Irresistible Blooms

Hello & welcome,

I have used the Irresistible Blooms Bundle (#161150) with the co-ordinating Hello, Irresistible 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#161139) on this card. These products can be found on the Online Exclusives along with many other products and can be found here - https://www.stampinup.com.au

I used one of the Patchwork Pieces Dies (#161592) to cut the DSP. This was matted with Pretty Peacock card (#150886) and Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). This was then attached to the reverse piece that I cut the Patchwork Pieces die. The base card is Very Vanilla (#106550).

I stamped the flowers from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (#161140) using VersaMark (#102283) and adding Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and setting it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The flowers and leaves are cut with the Irresistible Blooms Dies (#161149) For the leaves I used Gold Foil.

“Congratulations” is from the Translucent Florals stamp set (#162243). This set will be available in the next mini catalogue but as a demonstrator I was able to purchase it early. This was also Gold embossed then cut with a Waves Die (#158840).

The 2 smaller flowers and the leaves were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) for the larger flower & sentiment.

Cheerful Daisies

Hi stamping friends,

The background on todays card is from the beautiful Holographic Trio 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#161744) and have used Shimmery White Embossing Paste (#145645) with an Artistic Mix Decorative Mask (#159178) to add the design & texture to half of the card front.

This paste doesn't take long to dry but I set it aside while I stamped and cut all the other pieces. To apply the paste I used a Palette Knife (#142808) and scraped it over the mask. The knife & mask needs to be washed as soon as possible so the paste doesn't set on the utensils.

The flowers from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set (#161290) were stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) for the outline. The inside was stamped with Fresh Freesia ink (#155611) and I used Lemon Lolly ink (#161666) for the flower centres. The flowers and leaves were all cut with the Cheerful Daisies dies (#161296). I used Lost Lagoon card (#133686) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) for the leaves.

“Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink then I cut it with a Crackers & Treat Box die (#159182). The flowers & sentiment were all attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The base card is Basic White (#159228).

“Bonus Days” are back till 31st July. This means that for each $90 of Stampin’ Up! products you purchase you will receive a $9 credit to spend in August. Please contact me if you want any further information.

I have used 2 of the specialty papers on this card. They are the Soft Shimmer Paper Combo Pack (#161750) and the White Centre Specialty Paper (#161748).

The card front is the Bubble Bath from the White Centre Paper. I dry embossed this with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (#161600) then sanded it with fine sand paper. This was attached to the Basic White Base Card (#159228).

I cut the Bubble Bath Soft Shimmer paper with a Sentimental Park Die (#160566). I stamped “Sending Hugs” from the Layering Leaves stamp set (#161277) using Moody Mauve ink (#161649). This was cut with another Sentimental Park Die.

The leaves from the Layering Leaves stamp set (#161277) were stamped with Moody Mauve ink, Bubble Bath ink (#161664) and Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102).

Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

The Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper (#161322) is great to make a quick & easy card with a bit of easy fussy cutting.

I fussy cut one of the shops from the DSP as well as the pot plants. I used another 2 of the designs for the shops in the background and the pebbled path. These were attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). The fussy cut shop and pot plants were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104330).

“Hello” is from the Layering Leaves stamp set (#161277) and I stamped this with Balmy Blue ink (#147105). A Nested Essentials die (#161597) was used to cut the sentiment. Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach this.

Such an easy card!!
