Heart Shaped Bundle

Hi everyone,

A very pretty card using a Sale-a-bration product. The Heart Shaped Bundle (#164953) is a free product with a $200 order (in Australia). This includes the stamp set and dies.

I stamped the 2 heart shaped leaves using Pool Party ink (#147107) onto Basic White card (#159228). I then dry embossed this with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder (#164695) and matted it with Pool Party card (#124391). This was attached to the Basic White base card.

I cut the Gold Foil (#132622), backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) with one of the Heart Shaped dies, and attached these over the stamped hearts on the card. I also stamped the trio of flowers with Pool Party ink and cut them with a die. These flowers were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Congratulations” from the Everyday Greetings stamp set (#165084) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added Gold from the Wow! Metallic Embossing Powders (#165678), which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was also cut with a die from the Heart Shaped dies and attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The Low-Profile Dots (#164658) were added to finish the card.

Resist Embossing technique

Hello guys,

An easy technique today for the background - the Resist Emboss Technique.

I stamped the Basic White card (#159228) using VersaMark (#102283) and the Botanical Beauty background stamp (#162903). I added White Embossing Powder from the Wow! Basics Embossing Powders (#165679). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

I then blended Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) using a Blending Brush (#153611) over the background. This colours the white card but not the embossing, hence the Resist Emboss technique.

I cut the larger leaves from the Mixed Florals dies (#164641) using Summer Splash card (#163798) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). The other leaves are cut with the Memorable Blooms dies (#164825) with Daffodil Delight card (#121680) and also backed with Adhesive Sheet.

The sentiment is from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) and stamped with Summer Splash ink (#163809). A die from the Mixed Labels (#164652) was used to cut the sentiment.

The card front was matted with Summer Splash card and attached to the Basic White base card. The adhesive backed leaves were attached to the card. The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The card was finished by adding the Clear dots from the Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots (#164204).

Mixed Florals Bundle

Hello everyone,

The Mixed Florals stamp set (#164639) has some beautiful floral images which are great for colouring, which I have done using Stampin’ Blends.

I stamped the larger floral image and the small stem of flowers with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). The Stampin’ Blends used are Granny Apple Green (#154885), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Bubble Bath (#161675), Fresh Freesia (#155518), Highland Heather (#154887) and Old Olive (#154892). These were then cut with the Mixed Florals die (#164641).

The 2 designs of Designer Paper for the card front are from the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164591). These were matted with Gorgeous Grape card (#147011). I wrapped the Pretty In Pink Bordered Ribbon (#163786) around the card front before attaching to the Basic White card front.

The sentiment from Beautiful Butterflies stamp set (#164608) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099), then I fussy cut the sentiment. I seem to be doing a lot of fussy cutting lately.

The large flowers were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the sentiment and the small stem of yellow flowers (on the left side)

I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the flowers & leaves and added the Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins (#164970) to the card.

Floral Delight Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

The Floral Delight Designer Series Paper (#164700) has a range of bright & cheery colours and I have used this on today’s card.

I wrapped the Lemon Lolly Ribbon (retired) around the DSP and attached this to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The sentiment is from With You In Mind stamp set (#164747) and stamped with Crushed Curry ink (#147087).

For the hexagons I used the Meant To Bee dies (#166582) to cut the DSP, the Old Olive card (#106576) and the sentiment. Each of the hexagon dies cut the hexagon as well as the border, and there are 5 hexagon dies so these will so versatile.

I attached the larger hexagon to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and taped the smaller one on top.

I fussy cut a flower from the DSP and attached it to the card, with a Mini Glue Dot (#103683) and a Stampin’ Dimensional.

The super cute bees are from the Tiny Bee Trinkets (#164714) and I used the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755) to attach these to the card.

Beautiful Butterflies

Hello & welcome again,

I love butterflies (as you probably know) and can’t resist anything with them, so I love this Beautiful Butterflies bundle (#164615). The bundle consists of the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set (#164608) and the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder (#164614).

The Hybrid embossing folder includes the embossing folder as well as the set of dies. The large butterfly can be cut and embossed by placing the die into the embossing folder and it do both at the same time. Both the folder and die can be used as normal as well, making them very versatile.

I cut the Daffodil Delight card (#121680) for the background butterfly using both the die & folder. The Basic Black card (#121688) was cut with another die and this was attached to the yellow butterfly with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) on the body part only.

I dry embossed the Beautiful Bokeh 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164607) with the embossing folder and matted it with Daffodil Delight card. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the butterfly to the card front. Again I only attached it under the body part so you can lift the wings up from the card.

“Happy Birthday” from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Crushed Curry ink (#147087) and cut with a Changing Leaves die (#164138). I attached this with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Serene Love Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

This fussy cut flower is also from the Serene Love Designer Series Paper (#166261). I have used the Lost Lagoon flowers on recent cards & scrapbook pages from the same pack.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with a Basics Embossing Folder (now retired), and matted with Real Red card (#106578). This was attached to the Basic White base card.

A piece of the Serene Love DSP was attached to the bottom of the card front. I cut a piece of the Country Lace Designer Series Paper (#163415) with a Deckled Circles Die (#162286) and attached this to the card.

A Lifetime Of Love die (#162583) was used to cut the Real Red card for the circle of leaves. This card was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) and attached to the card.

“Happy Birthday” from the Magnolia Mood stamp set (also retired) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) and cut with a die from the Happy Hibiscus (#164879).

The flower & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are from the Opal Rounds Assortment (#163298).
