Fragrant Layers stamp set

Hello again stamping friends,

I have used the Fragrant Layers stamp set (#167150) for the flowers, which is a Two Step stamp set.

I stamped the outline of the floral image with Basic Black Hybrid Stampin’ Pad (#166648) onto Basic White card (#166781). The flowers were stamped with Timid Tiger ink (#165278) and I used Lost Lagoon ink (#161678) for the leaves. I cut this with a Phrases & Frames die (#167586). As this is an Impressions die, I used the same die for the frame using the Impressions Plate (#167767) and Timid Tiger card (#165298). I attached Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) on the back of the frame & stamped card to hold them together, then attach them to the card front.

The card front was die cut with the Eyelet Blooms die (#167984) and matted with Lost Lagoon card (#133686). This was attached to the Basic White base card.

“It’s your day” is from the Fragrant Layers stamp set and stamped with Lost Lagoon ink. This was cut with a Stitched Stocking die (#168230). The gold butterfly is from the Gilded Wings Accents (#169953) and the embellishments are Pearlised Faceted Circles (#166978).

I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add glimmer to the flowers.

Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies

Hi friends,

I needed a card for a special birthday and of course couldn't resist using the Stampin’ Hot Foil System (#170012).

The butterflies are from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045), the leaves on the background are from the Botanical Glow Hot Foil Dies (#170056) and Happy Birthday is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042).

The Gold Foil (#170066) was used for the leaves & yellow butterfly. Silver Foil (#170067) was used on the blue butterfly and Pink Foil (#170068) on the pink butterfly and sentiment. I used the Pastels Shimmer Specialty Paper (#167198) for the butterflies & sentiment.

I stamped the leaves from the Botanical Glow stamp set (#170054) using Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). This Basic White card front (#166781) was matted with a retired shimmer paper (not sure of the name), then this was attached to the Bubble Bath Pastels Shimmer Specialty Paper. The base card is also Basic White.

The butterflies & sentiment are attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The gold Flower Accents (#165171) were added to finish the card.

Stampin’ Hot Foil System

Hello again friends,

Another card again today using the Stampin’ Hot Foil System (#170012). You probably realise I just love this new product and makes your projects very professional.

The background, butterflies and sentiment are all done with Gold Foil (#170066). I used Basic White card (#166781) for the background and the sentiment. For the butterflies I used Lemon Lolly from the Pastels Shimmer Specialty Paper (#167198).

The Swiss Dots Hot Foil Dies (#170075) were used for the background, the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045) for the butterflies and the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) for the sentiment.

The butterflies and sentiment were then cut with the co-ordinating cutting dies.

The card front was matted with the Lemon Lolly Pastels Shimmer Paper and attached to the Basic White base card. The butterflies & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Sunset Coast dies

Welcome everyone,

When I have products out I often make a few variations of cards, so today I am using the Sunset Coast dies (#1667780) and the Scenic Coast Specialty Designer Series Paper (167773) again.

I cut the DSP with the Perennial Postage dies (#162607). The smaller piece of DSP is cut from the larger piece and this is covered when attaching the matted DSP. The Blueberry Bushel card front (#146991) was dry embossed with the Soft Waves embossing folder and I attached the larger piece of DSP to this, and matted the smaller piece of DSP also with Blueberry Bushel card. The smaller matted piece was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The lighthouse was cut with a Sunset Coast die using Silver Foil (#163387). I then used a Spotlight On Nature die (#163580) to cut the circle. This was then attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

No stamping on this card (except inside) as I chose not to add a sentiment at this stage.

Sunset Coast Dies

Hello & welcome again,

The lighthouse is cut with the Scenic Coast Dies (#167780) on Basic White card (#166781).

This die cut was attached to the Scenic Coast Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167773), then matted with Azure Afternoon card (#161728).

I dry embossed the Basic White card front with the (retired) Soft Waves embossing folder and this was also matted with Azure Afternoon card. This was attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment is from the Cutest Crew stamp set (#167146) and stamped with Azure Afternoon ink (#161663). The sentiment and banner under the sentiment were cut with Stylish Shapes dies (#159183).

The sentiment and matted lighthouse were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).
