Lifetime Of Love dies

Hi & welcome,

With a new catalogue coming soon, that means that there are a lot of retiring or Last Chance Products which will be available while stocks last. Some are at discounted prices. I have used some Last Chance Products on today’s card.

I have used the Lifetime Of Love dies (#162583) to cut the floral image from Gold Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772). I then coloured the flowers with Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends (#154880) and the leaves with Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends (#154903).

The Very Vanilla card front (#166785) was dry embossed with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder (#167097) and matted with the gold from the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper. This was attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

“Best Wishes” is from the With You In Mind stamp set (#164747). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). The edge was daubered with Real Red ink (#147084).

I glued the die cut floral image with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755) and the sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) were attached to the card.

The Last Chance Products used here are the Lifetime Of Love dies, Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder, Textured Metallic Specialty paper, Brush Brass Butterflies and With You In Mind stamp set.

Simply Beaitiful

Hi again friends,

Another card today using the Simply Beautiful Bundle (#166980).

I stamped the flower from the Simply Beautiful stamp set (#166958) with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The leaves from the same set were stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) onto Soft Sea Foam card (#147012). The flower & leaves were cut with the Simply Beautiful dies (#166980).

I cut the triangles using Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) and Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper (#166957). These were taped together and attached to the Basic White card front (#16781) and then this was attached to the Basic White base card.

“Thinking Of You” is also from this stamp set and Gold Heat Embossed. I fussy cut the sentiment. An easy way I found how to fussy cut a sentiment, is to place the stamp over the stamped image and using a pencil draw around the stamp, then cut on the pencil lines.

The card front & sentiment were daubered with Petal Pink ink (#147108).

Before attaching the flower to the card I splattered the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the flower. I then brushed the Clear Wink Of Stella on the leaves.

The sentiment was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used for the flower & the middle leaf. The other leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

For the background I used a die from the Forever Florals dies (#167443) to cut the Season Of Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164144). This DSP was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), so easy to attached this detailed piece to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“Sending Love” is from the Fabulous Sayings stamp set (#167972) and this was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) and cut with a Paradise Garden die (#167120). The “v” on each end of the banner was cut by hand.
