Nests Of Winter Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

The beautiful Nests Of Winter Designer Series Paper (#164183) is where you will find these birds on the branches.

I cut the birds with the now retired Winterly Tree Tops dies. If you don’t have these, this image is easy to fussy cut. The leaves are cut with the Charming Day dies (#166135) using Shaded Spruce card (#147006) and Summer Splash card (#163798). Both these cards were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The Daffodil Delight Card (#121680) was dry embossed with the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder (#164069) and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I cut a piece of Basic White card and Bright Copper from the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772) with a die from the Impressions Abloom dies (#165610). I stamped the grass from the Prairie Grass stamp set (#166168) with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) onto the white card. This card was taped to the card front and the Copper frame was glued with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

The birds were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments from the Low Profile Sparkle Dots (#166157).

Gallery Blooms dies

Hello,

A quick & easy card using a couple of dies, designer series paper and a sentiment.

I cut the Splendid Autumn 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164173) with the frame die from the Gallery Blooms dies (#165212). This die cuts the 3 pieces in one cut. I did cut a slither off the outside of the 2 middle pieces so that when I attached them to the card I could see a small amount of the Blackberry Bliss card (#133682) which I attached them to. I taped the outside & inside pieces to the card and used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the middle piece.

The card front was attached to Very Vanilla base card (#166785).

“Best Wishes” is from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set (#165491) and I stamped this with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092). I then cut it with a Mixed Labels die (#164652). This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to the sentiment.

Celebratory Sips Suite Collection

Hello everyone,

I think this Celebratory Sip Suite Collection (#165600) will be great for both masculine and feminine cards and even kids cards.

The 2 glasses were cut from the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper (#165586) with the Cheers & Sips Dies (#165593). The slice of orange from the Cheers & Sips stamp set (#165588) was stamped with Timid Tiger ink (#165277), then cut with a co-ordinating die.

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with one of the Glass & Gardens Embossing Folders (#165597). This was matted with Timid Tiger card (#165298) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiments are from the Cheers & Sips stamp set and stamped with Timid Tiger ink. I used the More Messages die (#165472) to cut “Lets celebrate”. The leaves are stamped with Summer Splash ink (#163809) and cut with a co-ordinating die.

The taller glass was taped to the card and for the smaller glass and sentiment I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was added to the glasses for a touch of sparkle. The embellishments are the retired Adhesive-Backed Dappled Dots.

Spotlight On Nature

Hi friends,

The Spotlight On Nature stamp set (#163579) has been used for the 3 stamped images on this card.

I stamped the butterfly, floral image and leaves with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#166781). These were coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Granny Apple Green (#154885), Pretty In Pink (#163824) and Daffodil Delight (#154883). All these images were fussy cut.

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder (#163789). This was double matted with Basic Black card (#121688) and Pretty In Pink card (#163794).

The leaves were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The flowers & butterfly were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I wrapped the Pretty In Pink Bordered Ribbon (#163784) around the card front, then attached to the Basic White base card.

Beautiful Motifs dies

Hi friends,

I have used the Beautiful Motifs dies (#165205) again on today’s card, for the design on the background.

I used this die on the 4 corners of the Very Vanilla card front (#166785). This die doesn't cut the whole piece out, so creates a lovely design.

I used dies from the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183) to cut the squares from the Berry Burst card (#163802), Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) and the Very Vanilla card with the sentiment. The sentiment is from the Year Of Flowers stamp set (#165367) and I stamped this with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092).

The flowers and leaves were cut with the Charming Day dies (#166135). I used Blackberry Bliss card (#133682 ) and Berry Burst card for the flowers and Mossy Meadow card (#133683) for the leaves.

All the squares/diamonds were taped to the card. The flowers were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the leaves.

The butterflies are from the Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136). Clear wink Of Stella (#141897) added some glimmer to the flowers.

Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder

Hi again friends,

How beautiful is this sunflower which was dry embossed with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder (#166145) onto the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622).

The gold foil was then matted with Basic Black card (#121688). I used a die from the Beautiful Motifs dies (#165205) to create the decorative motifs on each corner of the Very Vanilla card front (#166785). This die doesn't cut the full piece out of the card, but creates a beautiful design still attached to the card. This was attached to the Very Vanilla base card. The finished card size is 12.5x12.5cm.

“Thinking Of You” from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set (#165198) was heat embossed with VersaMark (#102283) and Black powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). A Beautiful Butterflies die (#164614) was used to cut the sentiment.

I added a piece of the Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon (#165599) to the card then the sentiment was added on top with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).
