Notes Of Spring Stamp Set

 Hello stamping friends,

Each month Stampin’ Up! has a new Product Of The Month which in Australia you can purchase for $9 with a $125 order. These products will carry over if they are still in stock. I have used 2 products of the month on today’s card - Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper (#167977) and the Notes Of Spring Stamp Set (#167979).

I stamped the outline of deer from the stamp set with Pecan Pie ink (#161665). Then I stamped the inside with Pecan Pie ink but stamped off first to get the lighter colour.

I then stamped the deer onto Masking paper (#155480) and cut around the image. I placed this over the original stamped image and stamped the grass on either side of the deer. Using the masking method it avoids stamping over the deer and gives the illusion of the deer in front of the grass. I then stamped the smaller grass image at the front and sides. I used Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) for the grass. The deer was then cut with a Spotlight On Nature die (#163580).

The Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper was used for the card front and attached to the Basic White Base card (#166781).

I used one of the dies from the Nature’s Symphony dies (#166925) to cut the rows of dots along the bottom of the Vellum Specialty Paper (#167099). Another die was used to cut the “woodgrain” piece from Gold Foil (#132622).

“Happiest Birthday Wishes” is from the Notes Of Spring stamp set and I stamped this with Pecan Pie ink. This was cut with a (retired) Beautiful Butterflies die.

The Granny Apple Green card (#147014), backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) was used for the leaves cut with the Delicate Wishes dies (#167505).

When using Vellum, I add all the pieces to the vellum before attaching the vellum to the card. Then I attach the vellum using adhesive only in the areas that won’t be visible. The leaves were attached with the adhesive sheet, I taped the gold woodgrain, the Circle was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the sentiment with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and a Mini Glue Dot (#103683). The embellishments are the Natural Matte Dots (#167510).

Beautifully Adorned Ephemera Pack

 Hello & welcome,

You can’t go past gold for an elegant card. I have used the Beautifully Adorned Ephemera Pack (#166980) for the flower, leaves & oval frames.

I dry embossed the Very Vanilla card front (#166785) with the Joined Together Embossing Folder (#165170). Then I heat embossed the edges with the Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). To embossed the edges I wiped the VersaMark pad (#102283) along one edge, added the embossing powder, then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I did each side this way.

The card front was taped to the Very Vanilla base card.

The sentiment from the Greenery Lane stamp set (#166870) was also Gold Heat embossed. This was cut with a retired oval die and I attached these together with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). This was then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The outside frame was also attached with Mini Glue Dots. The flower & leaves were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to the card.

Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape

 Hello again friends,

The Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape (#165269) is a wide tape with floral and leafy patterns which can be cut with the Extraordinary Flora die (#165244).

I attached the tape to Basic White card (#166781) before cutting with the die. The die cuts out a variety of images at one time.

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Lazy Daisy 3D Embossing Folder (#167197), then matted with Strawberry Slush card (#165297) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment from Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) was stamped with Strawberry Slush ink (#165286). I used dies from the Forever Florals dies (#167443) to cut the sentiment and the Strawberry Slush card under the sentiment. These were taped together then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The die cut floral images were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The embellishments used are Strawberry Slush & Pretty In Pink Gems (#165615) and the Brushed Brass Butterflies (now retired).

Forever Florals Bundle

 Hi everyone,

I love the beautiful detailed dies in the Forever Florals dies (#167443) which are part of the Forever Florals Bundle (#167444).

I have used Very Vanilla card (#166785) for the card front and base card. The card front was cut with the larger die from the set and I glued this to the base card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). The Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) was used for the leaves, also cut with dies from this set. These were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Thinking Of You” is from the Forever Florals stamp set (#167440). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I heat embossed this with Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This and the gold foil were also cut with dies from the Forever Florals dies.

The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Antique Pearls (#164679) were added to the card.

A quick & easy card but very elegant.

Inspiring Imperfections Bundle

 Hi friends,

The Inspiring Imperfections Bundle (#165167) has been used on today’s card along with other products included in the Kintsugi Inspirations Suite Collection (#165172).

I dry embossed the Misty Moonlight Two-Tone cardstock (#166686) with the Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder (#165170). I then tore the edge to show the white core. I attached the lighter side to the Basic White base card (#166781), then attached the darker side showing the white torn edge. A piece of the Kintsugi Inspirations Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165159) was attached to the card.

I stamped the vases from the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set (#165161) using Misty Moonlight ink (#153118) onto the Misty Moonlight Two-Tone cardstock and Basic White card. These were cut with an Inspiring Imperfections die (#165166). The 2 floral pieces were also cut with the dies using Gold Foil (#132622).

“Just A Note” from the Fragrant Layers stamp set (#167150) was stamped with Misty Moonlight ink and punched with the Three Banner Punch (#167050).

The blue vase was taped to the card and the white vase was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The gold foil flowers were glued with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). The sentiment was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The embellishments are the Flower Accents (#165171).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the vases.

Fragrant Layers Sympathy card

 Hello everyone,

I seem to be using the Fragrant Layers Bundle (#167155) a lot lately and today I have made a variation of one from a few days ago but for a Sympathy card.

This is a larger card as I used a full A4 sheet of Basic White card (#166781) and folded it in half. I dry embossed the card front with the So Swirly Embossing Folder (#163791). I cut 4 pieces with a die from the Natures Symphony dies (#166925) for the woodgrain pieces and these were taped to the card front.

The flowers were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The inside of the flowers were stamped with Bubble Bath ink (#161664) and the leaves with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). Lemon Lolly ink (#161666) was used for the flower centres.

The sentiment is from a retired stamp set (Painted Glass) and this was also gold heat embossed. A die from the Everyday Arches (#164629) was used to cut this. The retired Cross Of Hope dies was used for the cross using Gold Foil (#132622).

The flowers & sentiment were all attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Simply Beautiful Bundle

 Hello friends,

You don’t need a lot on a card with large images like this flower & leaves from the Simply Beautiful Bundle (#166980).

I stamped the flower from the Simply Beautiful stamp set (#166958) with VersaMark (#102283) onto Poppy Parade card (#121694). I added the White powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056).

For the leaves from the same stamp set I stamped them with VersaMark onto Granny Apple Green card (#147014) and added Clear powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders and heat set this. If you just stamp onto coloured card with VersaMark you will get a darker image of the same colour, so by adding the clear embossing powder you get an embossed image in the same colour but darker.

The flower & leaves were cut with the Simply Beautiful dies (#166964). I flicked the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the flower & leaves to get spots of glimmer.

The card front is from the Garden Poetry Designer Series Paper (#167113) and matted with Poppy Parade card, then attached it to the Basic White card front (#166781).

The flower was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Thinking Of You” is from the same stamp set and stamped with Poppy Parade ink (#147050). This was fussy cut, then attached with Mini Glue Dots and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The retired Traditional Sparkling Sequins were added to the card.
