Fragrant Layers Bundle

Hi friends,

The Fragrant Layers stamp set (#167150) is a Two-Step stamp set, which allows you to use different colours on the one image.

I stamped the floral image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#166781). For the flowers I stamped with Poppy Parade ink (#147050) and the leaves with Summer Splash ink (#163809). For the lighter leaves I stamped off before stamping on the image. The flower centres were stamped with Lemon Lolly ink (#161666).

I cut the outline of the floral image with a die from the Fragrant layers dies (#167154) using Poppy Parade card (#121694). I placed this on top of the stamped image. The Poppy Parade card was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

For the card front I used the Mixed Up Patterns Mix-In Designer Series Paper (#166992). This was attached to the Basic Black card (#121688) then attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment is also from the Fragrant Layers stamp set. I stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) and added Black Powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

I cut the sentiment with a Fragrant Layers die. This die cuts 2 pieces at the one time - the inside for the sentiment and the outside “frame”. I cut a 2nd piece with Poppy Parade card and used the frame around the sentiment. The cute ladybugs are from the Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes (#167005).

The card front is from the Irresistible Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165305). Using a Blending Brush (#153611) with Summer Splash ink (#163809), I blended some colour on the background.

The Summer Splash Circles were cut with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183). The flowers were attached to the circles with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Simply Beautiful Bundle

Hello again my friends,

There are many new products in the new mini catalogue and Online Exclusives, including the Simply Beautiful Bundle (#166980) as used on todays card.

The 3 layers for the flower were cut with the Simply Beautiful dies (#166964). The bottom layer is Gorgeous Grape (#147011), the middle layer is Highland Heather (#147010) and the top layer is Fresh Freesia (#155614). I used Lemon Lolly card (#161729) for the stamens. These were layered together using Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The leaves from the Simply Beautiful stamp set (#166958) were stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) onto Soft Sea Foam card (#147012). These were cut with the Simply Beautiful dies. I also daubered extra Soft Sea Foam ink on parts of the leaves.

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Stone & Vine 3D Embossing Folder (#166990). I then lightly wiped the Soft Sea Foam ink pad over the embossed card. This picks up the ink colour on higher areas of the embossing. The card front was matted with Gorgeous Grape card and attached to the Basic White base card.

The flower was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots.

Fragrant Layers

Hello again everyone,

This floral image is from the Fragrant Layers stamp set (#167150). This is a Two-Step set where you can stamp the outline image, then colour the inside with another stamp. However I have chosen to colour the image with Stampin’ Blends. It’s great to have options.

The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#166781). The flowers were coloured with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675), the leaves with Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894) and the flower centres with Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends (#161673). I chose these colours as they are the colours in the Pastels Shimmer Specialty Paper (#167198) which I have used on this card. The floral image was fussy cut.

The Bubble Bath card front from this specialty paper was dry embossed with the Beautiful Pattern 3D Embossing Folder (#167097) and matted with Basic Black card (#121688). The Lemon Lolly and Pool Party shimmer papers were cut with a die from the Nested Essentials dies (#161597). These were taped to the card.

“With Love” from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and cut with a Beautiful Butterflies dies (#164614).

The floral image and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I cut some leaves using dies from the Fragrant Layers Dies (#167154) using Pool Party card (#124391). I added some extra colour to the leaves with a Sponge Dauber (#133773) & Pool Party ink (#147107). These were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the floral image. The Pearlised Faceted Circles (#166978) were the embellishments added to the card.

“Birthday Wishes” is from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow!
