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.

Paradise Garden Bundle

Hello & welcome,

I have used 3 of the 2024-2026 In colours that will be retiring in May, when we will have 5 more new in colours. The colours I have used are Shy Shamrock ink (#163808), Petunia Pop ink (#163811) and Pretty In Pink ink (#163807).

The stamp set used for all the images is Paradise Garden (#167114) and the dies are from the co-ordinating Paradise Garden dies (#167120). These are part of the Paradise Garden Bundle (#167121). This set of dies also has a hybrid embossing folder which means you can use the folder and a die to cut and emboss at the same time, or you can use the embossing folder as normal which is what I have done on the Basic White card front (#166781).

The card front was matted with Petunia Pop card (#163802) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The leaves and 2 larger flowers were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The sentiment and smaller flowers were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I added glimmer to the flowers & leaves with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897). The embellishments are from the retired Charming Day Shimmer Faceted Dots.

Fragrant Layers stamp set

Hello again friends,

I was very happy with the results of this card in neutral colours using the Fragrant layers stamp set (#167150).

I stamped the outline of larger floral image and the individual flowers with Pecan Pie ink (#161665) onto Very Vanilla card (#166785). I then stamped the inside of the flowers with Crumb Cake ink (#166787), the leaves with Basic Beige ink (#163806) and the flower centres with Darling Duckling ink (#165277) - stamped off.

The card front is Woodgrain Wonders Designer Series Paper (#167428) and matted with Pecan Pie card (#161726). The base card is Very Vanilla.

I cut the 2 woodgrain pieces from Pecan Pie card using a die from the Nature’s Symphony dies (#166925). These were taped to the card front.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) and stamped with Pecan Pie ink. I cut this with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183) and also taped this to the card.

The flowers were fussy cut, then I cut the larger image in 2 pieces. All the flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Glimmer was added to the flowers using the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897). The Antique Pearls (#164679) were added to finish the card.
