Gold Foiled Flowers Cards & Envelopes

Hello friends,

You don't need to do much when using the gorgeous cards from the Gold Foiled Flowers Cards & Envelopes (#162589). These cards are great for any special occasion.

I chose a very simple design so it didn’t cover too much of the design of the card. I used a Wild Ferns die (#162654) to cut the Pretty Peacock card (#150886). This was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), so I attached this straight onto the card.

“Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) and cut with another Wild Ferns die. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430).

To finish the card I added the Pretty Peacock gems from the Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems (#162587).

How easy is that!!

Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder

Hello stamping friends,

The Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder (#162569) is perfect for a Valentines card.

The hybrid embossing folder includes an embossing folder and dies. These can be used separately or together. I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the Embossing Folder only. This was matted with Real Red card (#106578), then attached to the Basic White base card.

Next I placed the die with the 9 hearts into the embossing folder. The die fits inside the front of the embossing folder with the flat part of the die on the folder. I placed the Real Red card on top of the die, closed the folder and run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (#149653) with the same set-up as Embossing. This cuts and embossed the red hearts.

The Gold Foil (#132622) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) was used for the detailed die cut heart pieces. These dies are also from the same die set.The Real Red hearts were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder (#162927) was used for “Love You”. Again this was embossed & cut at the same time with this hybrid folder. I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to add this to the card.

Inspirational Sketches

Hello again,

I have just had a couple of days away to see family which was a last minute decision. Always great to catch up, but now back in the craft room.

Today’s card is a square card - 12.5cm x 12.5cm, and using the bird from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set (#162684).

I stamped the bird with Berry Burst ink (#147143) on Basic White card (#159228). This was fussy cut.

The leaves were cut with a die from the Notes Of Nature Dies (#163203) using Lost Lagoon card (#133686), Pretty Peacock card (#150886) and Brushed Metallic cardstock (#153524). These were all backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) and attached to the Basic White card front. I matted this with the Berry Burst card (#144249) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment from the Everyday Details stamp set (#162861) was stamped with Berry Burst ink. The 2 circles were cut with the Everyday Details dies (#162864). The larger circle was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attached the sentiment & bird.

The embellishments are the Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs (#161954).

Nature’s Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi again everyone,

The Nature’s Sweetness 12”x12” Specialty Designer Paper (#162616) has a beautiful range of designs, including 2 page with 6 designs suitable for card fronts. I have used one of the designs on these card. The first card I have just used the DSP and coloured it with Stampin’ Blends, then I added the stamped leaves and sentiment for the second card.

I coloured the image with Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends (#161680), Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675) and 700 & 800 from the Medium Light Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends (#159463).

I stamped the leaves from the Notes Of Nature stamp set (#162630) using Basic Gray ink (#149165) and also coloured them with Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends. This was cut with the Notes Of Nature dies (#163203).

The sentiment is from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set (#162617) and stamped with Lost Lagoon ink (#161678). A Sending Die (#159271) was used to cut the sentiment.

After cutting the image from the DSP I cut a small piece from the bottom, turned it over to use the design on the reverse. These were attached to the Pecan Pie card (#161726), then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

For the second card I attached the stamped leaves and sentiment with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I added the lovely Adhesive-Backed Cork Rounds (#162643) to the cards. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the flowers.
