Inspirational Sketches

Hi friends,

I have already made so many cards using this beautiful bird from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set (#162684).

The birds were stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138), Real Red ink (#147084) and Daffodil Delight ink (#147094). These birds were fussy cut.

For the detailed die-cut for the card front, with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of Basic White card (#159228), I used a die from the Gorgeous Garden dies (#161283). This was attached to the Basic White base card.

The yellow bird was taped to the card and the other 2 birds were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Real Red ink. This and the Real Red card (#106578) under the sentiment were cut with Timeless Arrangements dies (#161525). Stampin’ Dimensionals were also used to attach the sentiment.

Adoring Hearts

Hi friends,

A pretty card today using subtle colours and the Adoring Hearts Bundle (#162570). This bundle includes the Adoring Bundle stamp set (#162563) and the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder (#162569). This embossing folder includes dies which can be used separately or the dies fit into the embossing folder and will cut and emboss all at one time. The embossing folder can also be used separately like any other embossing folder.

I stamped the heart from the stamp set with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). I cut this Basic White card (#159228) and the Bubble Bath card (#161727) with a die from the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183).

I cut and embossed the Bubble Bath heart with the Hybrid Embossing Folder and attached it over the stamped image with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I cut the banner for the sentiment with one of the dies from the same set and stamped the sentiment with Berry Burst ink (#147143).

I cut the edge of the Basic White card front with a Darling Details Die (#161370), then I dry embossed the card with the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder (#158655). This was matted with Bubble Bath card. I wrapped the retired Iridescent Ribbon around the card front then attached this to the Basic White base card.

The Bubble Bath square was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the white square was taped on top and offset. The sentiment was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The card was finished by adding the Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs (#161954).

Lifetime Of Love Bundle

Hi my friends,

Today you can buy from the new Mini Catalogue and get some free products from Sale-a-bration. There are so many gorgeous products in both these catalogues. For this card I have used the Lifetime Of Love Bundle (#162584) and the Forever Love 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162573).

The Pretty Peacock & Gold flowers are from the DSP and cut with a co-ordinating die from the Lifetime Of Love Dies (#162583). I love when the dies co-ordinate with images in the DSP.

I stamped the same floral image from the Lifetime Of Love stamp set (#162574) onto Very Vanilla card (#106650) with Lost Lagoon ink (#161678). I then dry embossed this card with one of the Basics Embossing Folders (#161598). I matted this with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) and Pretty Peacock card (#150886). I punched the corners with the Very Best Trio punch (#159878). The base card is also Very Vanilla.

I cut the fine leaf wreath and the 3 leaves using dies from the Lifetime Of Love dies. This Lost Lagoon card (#133686) was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting with the die. These were attached to the card front. The die cut flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I cut “Celebrate” using dies from the Wanted To Say dies (#161594) with Pretty Peacock Card and Gold Foil sheet. The gold Foil was also backed with Adhesive Sheet. I use adhesive sheet when cutting any fine detailed pieces as it is so much easier to attach them to the card. The small gold flowers are also cut with the Lifetime Of Love dies.

Detailed Dogwood stamp set

Hello again my friends,

The flowers on this card are from the Detailed Dogwood stamp set (#162953) and I have used the Masking technique. This stamp set is a free Sale-a-bration product with a $180 order. One of the small flowers in the set also co-ordinates with the Petal Park Builder Punch (#160576), but I haven’t used it on this card.

I stamped the larger floral image onto the Basic White card (#159228) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I then stamped this onto Masking Paper (#155480) and fussy cut the image. I placed this over the stamped image on the card and stamped the image with the buds 4 times. I also used a mask for the buds. This allows you to stamp the image but it doesn't overlap the previous images.

The Stampin’ Blends to colour these are Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Bubble Bath (#161675) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). I matted the card front with Flirty Flamingo card (#141421) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

“Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052) and cut with a retired Stitched Rectangles die.

The Gold ribbon is from the Silver & Gold Trim Combo (#161633) and this was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The dragonflies are from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds (#162743). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the larger flowers.

Everyday Details

Hello friends,

I have used the Everyday Details Bundle (#162865) for todays card.

I used one of the Everyday Details die (#162864) to cut the rectangle from the Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper (#162975). I actually used the inside piece on a card I posted on the blog few day ago.

The floral image from the Everyday Details stamp set (#162861) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and coloured with the following Stampin’ Blends - Pool Party (#154894), Lost Lagoon (#161680), Highland Heather (#154887) and Bubble Bath (#161675). This was also cut with the same die, then attached to a piece of Pool Party card (#124391) so I could see the colour through the holes.

The DSP was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). The stamped piece was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Pool Party ink (#147107) and cut with another die from Everyday Details. The embellishments are from the Festive Pearls (#159963). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the flowers.

Don’t forget the 3rd January is the last day to order from the current mini catalogue. There are still some great bargains available. Check them out here - https://www.stampinup.com.au

The next Mini catalogue and sale-a-bration commences on 4th January.

Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper

Hello again,

Another simple scrapbook page, this time using the Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper (#162978) which is a Sale-a-bration product and co-ordinates with the Trusty Tools Bundle (#162723). The new mini catalogue and sale-a-bration goes live on 4th January. There are several products in sale-a-bration which co-ordinate with products in the mini catalogue which I love.

The photos were matted with Real Red card (#106578) and Basic Black card (#121688). The base page and the strip with the screwdrivers are from the Trusty Toolbox DSP. I also stamped the tools from the Trusty Tools stamp set (#163274) onto the base page using Gray Granite ink (#147118).

I fussy cut the tools from the DSP and these were attached to the page with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The letters were cut with the Mini Alphabet dies (#162934) from Real Red card which was backed with Adhesive Sheets (#152334).

Some of the tools in the DSP can also be cut with the Trusty Tools dies (#162722) as well as the stamped images.
