Moonlit Flora Suite Collection

Hi stamping friends,

I have used the Moonlit Flora Suite Collection (#167749) for today’s card.

I cut 3 pieces of the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper (#167737) using a die from the Paradise Garden dies (#167120). These were attached to a piece of Vellum Specialty Paper (#167099), then cut with a square Stylish Shapes Die (#159183).

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#167737) with the Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder (#167744) and this was matted with Peaceful Pine card (#167692) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The square die cut piece was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The ferns are cut with the Fern & Flora dies (#168991) from Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) and Peaceful Pine card. The dragonflies are cut from Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper (#165901) using the Scalloped Wishes dies (#167452). I attached the body to the wings of the dragonfly using Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Happiest Birthday Wishes” is from the Phrases & Frames stamp set (#167581) and I stamped this with Peaceful Pine ink (#167679). A die from the Fern & flora dies was used to cut the sentiment.

The card for the ferns were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) which makes it easy to attach fine die cuts to the card. The top left dragonfly was attached with Mini Glue Dots and I used a Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the other dragonfly. The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Splash Of Sparkles Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi again,

Today I have highlighted the Splashes Of Sparkles Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167200).

I punched the DSP with the Rounded Rectangle Punch (#167880). The sentiment is from the Exciting Times stamp set (#167875). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added the Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was also punched with the Rounded Rectangle punch.

I attached the sentiment and the DSP to Gold Foil Sheet (#132622).This piece of Gold foil was cut 9cmx13.4cm. After attaching the DSP, I cut off the pieces of DSP level with the edges of the gold. I then attached this to another piece of gold foil (9.5cmx13.9cm). I found this easier to get the edges lined up, but it looks like one piece of gold foil. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The butterflies from the All Aflutter stamp set (#167564) were also Gold heat embossed. These were punched with the All Aflutter punch (#167569). The butterflies were coloured with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends (#155518), Timid Tiger Stampin’ Blends (#165291), Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends (#161673). The butterflies were then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The Flower Accents #165171) were added to the sentiment.
