Fern & Flora Bundle

Hello again my friends,

Tomorrow (5th May) the products from the new catalogue will be available. There are so many exciting new products including the Fern & Flora Bundle (#167745) which I have used on this card.

I stamped the large fern leaf with Old Olive ink (#147090) and the smaller leaves & floral images with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111). I coloured the images with the following Stampin’ Blends - Soft Sea Foam (#154902), Old Olive (#154892), Real Red (#154899) and Daffodil Delight (#154883).

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder (#167744), then matted with Real Red card (#106578). The base card is also Basic White.

The sentiment & stamped frame are also from the Fern & Flora stamp set (#167739) and stamped using Old Olive ink & Real Red ink (#147084). The Fern & Flora dies (#168991) were used to cut all the images and sentiment. For the “curly” ferns I used Mossy Meadow card (#133683) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). I used Mini Glue Dots (#144108), Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach everything to the card.

Scenic Coast Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello everyone,

The stunning Scenic Coast 6”x6” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167773) features vivid colours with Iridescent Pearl on the coastal sunset designs. I made a larger card - 15x15cm - as I didn't want to cut off too much of the beautiful DSP.

The DSP was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781). I cut a circle from the Spotlight On Nature Dies (#163580) from Balmy Blue card (#147007). I then cut the lighthouse scene using a Sunset Coast die (#167780). This was glued to the DSP with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

“Best Wishes” was cut with the Words & Wishes dies (#167894). I cut these with Crushed Curry card (#131288) and Blueberry Bushel card (#146991). Both cards were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). I attached the Crushed Curry words then offset slightly with the Blueberry Bushel words to create a “shadow” effect.

The shells & starfish were cut with another die from the Sunset Coast dies and I used Crumb Cake card (#121685). These were also glued to the card. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was added to the lighthouse, shells & starfish.

Paper Pumpkin Alternative

Hi again friends,

I have made a Paper Pumpkin alternate card today, pairing it with the Relaxing Waterside bundle (#167928), which work well together for a masculine card.

I cut one of the card bases from the April Paper Pumpkin and matted it with Pretty Peacock card (#150886) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I cut Pretty Peacock card with one of the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580) and the scene from the Paper Pumpkin was attached to this.

The chair from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set (#167922) was stamped with Pecan Pie ink (#161665) and I coloured it with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#154882). The grass from the same set was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083), as was the sentiment which is from the Paper Pumpkin stamp set.

The Relaxing Waterside dies (#167927) were used to cut the chair and grass. A Spotlight On Nature dies was used to cut the sentiment.

The Pretty Peacock circle, chair, sentiment and grass were all attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) & Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add some glimmer to the chair.

With the Paper Pumpkin kits you can make all the cards as shown in the kit or you can make your own designs. It’s fun whichever way you choose.

The Pressed Flower Motifs (#165215) were added to the card.
