Delicate Whispers

Hi friends,

The Delicate Whispers Bundle (#167506) has been used for the flowers & stamped leaves on this card.

The Soft Sea Foam card front (#147012) was dry embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (#161600) and matted with Timid Tiger card (#165298) then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I stamped the strip of Basic White card with images from the Delicate Whispers stamp set (#167500) using Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). This was taped to the card front.

I cut the Basic White frame using a Scalloped Wishes die (#167452) and I glued this to the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

The flowers from the Delicate Wishes stamp set were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Copper powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). These were cut with a Delicate Whispers die (#167505).

I used Stampin’ Blends to colour the floral images - Timid Tiger (#165291), Peach Pie (#163827), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Granny Apple Green (#154885) and Lemon Lime Twist (#161682). The flowers were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensional (#144108) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Congratulations” from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) was stamped with Timid Tiger ink (#165278) and cut with a Paradise Garden die (#167120). Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to attach the sentiment to the card.

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the flowers. Pearlized Faceted Circles (#166978) were added to finish the card.

Product Of The Month

Hi everyone,

Each month there is a new Product Of The Month which can be purchased at a reduced price with a qualifying order (in Australia it is $9 with a $125 order). These products are available while stocks last and will carry over if they are still in stock. This month’s Product of the Month is the Notes Of Spring stamp set (#167979).

I thought these cute little animals from this stamp set would make a great baby card.

The outline of the rabbit, duck & deer were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) which were set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

I stamped the inside area of the rabbit with Bubble Bath ink (#161664), Lemon Lolly ink (#161666) for the duck and Crumb Cake ink (#147116) for the deer.

The circles were cut with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183). The stamped images were attached to the coloured card - Bubble Bath (#161727), Lemon Lolly (#161729) and Crumb Cake (#121685) using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The card front is from the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper (#167977) which is also a Product Of The Month. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The circles were taped to the card. “Congratulations” is from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) and also Gold Embossed. Another die from the Stylish Shapes dies was used to cut the sentiment. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was added to each of the stamped images.

The embellishments are from the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots (#162758). The dot under the deer was coloured with a Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend (#154882).

Fragrant Layers Bundle

Hi crafty friends,

The Fragrant Layers Bundle (#167155) has been used for this card today. The bundle consists of the Fragrant Layers stamp set (#167150) and the Fragrant Layers dies (#167154).

(This was a bit hard to photograph with the shiny specialty paper, but looks lovely in real life.)

I stamped the floral image with Secret Sea ink (#165285) onto Basic White card (#166781). This stamp set is a Two-Step set which allows you to stamp the outline and the solid inside images separately. For the flowers I used Strawberry Slush ink (#165286), Summer Splash ink (#163808) for the leaves and Darling Duckling ink (#165277) for the flower centres.

The Tungsten Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772) was cut with a Fragrant Layers die, then I dry embossed this with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Powder (#161600). This was placed over the stamped floral image, then matted with Strawberry Slush card (#165297). The base card is Basic White.

“Just A Note” is from the same stamp set and stamped with Strawberry Slush ink. The die to cut the sentiment is also from the Fragrant Layers dies. I attached this to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The embellishments are from the retired Two-Tone Sparkle Gems.

Scalloped Wishes

Hi friends,

How cute are these dragonflies from the Scalloped Wishes Bundle (#167447). Do you find you use the larger images in a set and forget about the smaller ones? I do, so thought I would use the dragonflies without all the other images from this bundle.

The curved card and DSP were cut with a die from the Paradise Garden dies (#167120). The DSP is from the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper (#167977) and the coloured card is Secret Sea (#165296). After cutting the Secret Sea card with the die, I cut it in half (longways) and attached this to the DSP & sentiment.

“Happy Birthday” is from the stamp set from the Virtual Card Retreat (#170026) and stamped with Secret Sea ink (#165285).

These die cut pieces were attached to the Basic White card front (#166781) which was dry embossed with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder (#161600). This was matted with Secret Sea card.

The die cut dragonflies were cut with dies from the Scalloped Wishes dies (#167452) using the Tungsten from the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772). These were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The small stamped dragonflies are from the Scalloped Wishes stamp set (#167447) and stamped with Secret Sea ink and cut with a Scalloped Wishes die. I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach these to the card.

The woodgrain scalloped oval was taped to the card front and the leaves were attached. The stamped scalloped oval was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

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.
