Charming Day dies

Hi again friends,

These beautiful die cut flowers are cut with the Charming Day dies (#166135).

I cut strips of the Poppy Parade Two-Tone cardstock (#166692) and glued them to a piece of Basic White card (#166781) using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). I alternated the dark & light colours. This was then cut with a Spotlight On Nature die (#163580).

The card front was dry embossed with the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder (#163789). The edges were daubered with Poppy Parade ink (#147050) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The circle was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Thinking Of You” from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set (#165198) was stamped with Poppy Parade ink and cut with a Beautiful Butterflies die (#164614).

The flowers & sentiment were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The retired Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Adhesive Backed Dots were added to the card.

Sentimental Framing

Hi friends,

The Sentimental Framing dies (#165476) have been used for the beautiful frame for these photos.

The base page is from the Wildflower Celebrations Scrapbooking Workshop Kit (#166623). I have matted the smaller Blueberry Bushel card (#146991) with Silver Foil Sheet (#163387) and another piece of Blueberry Bushel card.

I cut the frames from Silver Foil Sheet. I also cut the photos with the same die, to cut the photo so it fitted into the frame. The frames & photos were taped to the page.

I stamped the floral image from the Charming Day stamp set (#166126) with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Silver powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The stamped image and the detailed Silver Foil image were cut with the Charming Day dies (#166135). These were attached to the page with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). Another die from the Sentimental Framing dies was used to cut the pieces for the names.

Two-Tone cardstock

Hello again friends,

Have you seen the Two-Tone cardstock? This cardstock has a white core, so it’s great for a variety of techniques. On this card I dry embossed the card, then sanded it to reveal the white core.

Also, the cardstock has a dark shade on one side and a lighter shade of the same colour on the other side. I have dry embossed the darker side of the Darling Duckling Two-Tone card (#166707) with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder (#166145), then using a fine sandpaper I sanded the card to reveal the white core. I splattered the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) over the card front to give some glimmer all over. This was matted with Secret Sea card (#165296), then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The sentiment from the Charming Day stamp set (#166126) was stamped with Secret Sea ink (#165285), onto the lighter side of the Darling Duckling card. I used dies from the Happy Hibiscus dies (#164879) to cut the sentiment and the circle. The circle was taped to the card front and I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the sentiment.

The embellishments are from the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls (#165192).

Along These Lines stamp set

Hi again,

Along These Lines stamp set (#165352) has a variety of line images. I have used the cake for this card.

I stamped the cake with Calypso Coral ink (#147101) onto Very Vanilla card (#166785). I used the Party Banners dies (#165264) to cut the stamped image as well as the Calypso Coral card (#124392) and the Old Olive card (#106576), then these were taped together.

The Very Vanilla card front was dry embossed with the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder (#164049) and matted with Calypso Coral card. The Base card is Very Vanilla. The DSP is from the Timeless Plaid 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164678).

“Celebrate” is from the Blooming Phrases stamp set (#16552) and stamped with Calypso Coral ink and cut with a Textured Notes Die (#165555).

The sentiment & banners were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add some glimmer to the cake.

Charming Day

Hello again friends,

I am using the Charming Day bundle (#166136) again today. Yesterday I made a card in bold colours, so today I have used subtle colours to show how to use the same set but with a totally different look.

I stamped the single flowers & leaves from the Charming Day stamp set (#166126) three times onto Basic White card (#166781). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Silver Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The Charming Day dies (#166135) were used to cut the stamped images, the Silver Foil (#163387) leaves and the Pool Party (#124391) floral image.

The leaves were coloured with Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894) and the flowers with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends (#155518). I used Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends (#154887) for the flower centres. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add the glimmer to the flowers & leaves.

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (#161600), then matted with Pool Party card. The base card is also Basic White.

The Pool Party die cut floral image and the silver leaves were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The stamped images were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“With Sympathy” from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) was also heat embossed with Silver. This was cut with the More Messages die (#165472). This die cuts a variety of shapes and sizes for your sentiments. There is also a stamp that co-ordinates with the die, so both are very versatile. The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Charming Day bundle

Hi friends,

I have used the beautiful Charming Day Bundle (#166136) for today’s card but highlighting the dies

I used the Charming Day dies (#166135), which are part of the bundle, to cut the detailed floral image & leaves. The floral image was cut from Blackberry Bliss card (#133682) and the leaves from Gold Foil Sheet (#132622).

The Berry Burst card front (#144249) was dry embossed with the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder (#164695) and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

A triangle of the Floral Charm Designer Series Paper (#166125) was attached to the card front. The sentiment is from the Charming Day stamp set (#166136) and I stamped this with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092). A die from Spotlight On Nature (#163580) was used to cut the sentiment.

The floral die cut image and sentiment were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The gold foil leaves were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). Just remove the backing and attach them to the card.

The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to finish the card.
