Virtual Card Making Retreat stamp set

Hi everyone,

This floral image is from one of the stamp sets from the Virtual Card Making Retreat (#170026). I had some leftover die cut pieces for this image, so stamped the image on that.

This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). The Heat Tool (#129056) was used to set the powder.

The flowers were coloured with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675), Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends (#155518) and Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends (#154887). For the leaves I used Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894) and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends (#163826). Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) was used in the centre of the flowers.

I used Summer Splash card (#163798) for the green leaves and gold from the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (3163772) for the smaller leaves. For the green die cut leaves, I cut this in half so I could tuck it under the floral image in 2 places.

I dry embossed the Highland Heather card front (#147010) with the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder (#167179). The Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper (#164607) was taped to the card front and this was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The stamped flowers were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The leaves were attached with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

The embellishments are the Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) and Two-Tone Sparkle Gems (#164633). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the flowers.

Beautifully Celebrated Dies

Hello & welcome,

Gold & white always looks elegant. Here I have used the gorgeous Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper (#166957) along with the Beautifully Celebrated Dies (#166974).

I cut the middle out of the DSP with one of the dies. This DSP was then matted with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). This was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781)

I cut the detailed corners from Basic White card and Gold Foil, also with dies from this set. The Gold Foil corners were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683), then I added the White corners, offsetting them to show some gold.

“Best Wishes” from With You In Mind stamp set (#164747) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment was also cut with one of the Beautifully Celebrated dies.

The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to finish the card.

Beautiful Motifs Bundle

Hi everyone,

I love the way the leaves partly cut out using the Beautiful Motifs die (#165205) which are part of the Beautiful Motifs Bundle (#165206).

The Pool Party & Lemon Lolly paper are from the Pastels Shimmer 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#167198). I cut the Pool Party paper with the Textured Notes dies (#165555). After cutting the top, bottom & left side I repositioned the die to cut the right side as I wanted a narrower cut. I then used the die from the Beautiful Motifs die to cut the leaves.

I stamped around the edges of the Lemon Lolly paper with a stamp from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set (#165198) using Daffodil Delight ink (#147094). This is very subtle so not sure if you can see it in the photo. This was matted with another piece of Pool Party paper and attached to the Basic White Base card (#166781). The Pool Party with the die cut leaves was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Thinking Of You” is from the same stamp set and stamped with Pool Party ink (#147107). A die from the Paradise Garden dies (#167120) was used to cut the sentiment. The embellishments are the Low Profile Sparkle Dots (#166157).

The card front is from the Delicate Dreams Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167498). I cut a piece of the Berry Burst Foil with a die from the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183). I cut this square in half from corner to corner and attached them to the DSP, then attached the card front to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The Blueberry Bushel Foil was cut with a die from the Paradise Garden dies (#167120). The Shaded Spruce Foil was cut with a die from the Forever Florals dies (#167443). I cut this leafy piece in half and attached it to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The Blueberry Bushel Foil was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The flowers from the Paradise Garden stamp set (#167114) were stamped with Berry Burst ink (#147143) and cut with the Paradise Garden dies. These were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots & a Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Celebrate” is from the Blooming Phrases stamp set (#165523) and stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138). A die from the Paradise Garden dies was used to cut the sentiment and this was taped to the blue foil.

The embellishments on the flower centres are retired Garden Gems.

Garden Poetry Suite Collection

Hi again everyone,

From today a large range of new products are available from the Online Exclusives including the Garden Poetry Suite Collection (#167127) which I have used for this lovely bright card.

The flowers, leaves and sentiment are all from the Paradise Garden stamp set (#167114). These were stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088), Azure Afternoon ink (#161663), Berry Burst ink (#147143) and Coastal Cabana (#147097).

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Paradise Garden Embossing Folder (#167120). This is a hybrid embossing folder which means a die fits into the folder and cuts & embosses at the same time. It can also be used just as an embossing folder as I have used here.

The DSP is from the Garden Poetry Designer Series Paper (#167113) and attached to the card front. The card front was matted with Blueberry Bushel card (#146991) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment, flowers leaves and the blue foil from the Garden Textures Specialty Foil Sheets (#167125) are all cut with the Paradise Garden dies (#167120). The blue foil and some of the flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) for the leaves and the Azure Afternoon flowers.

The retired Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots were added to the card.
