Delicate Whispers Bundle

Hi again friends,

These floral images are from the Delicate Whispers stamp set (#167500).

The images were stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) onto Basic White card (#166781). These were coloured with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894), then cut with the Delicate Whispers dies (#167505).

The 2 pieces of Natures Walk Designer Series Paper (#166912) were attached to the Basic White base card.

I used a die from the Sunset Coast dies (#167780) to cut the Daffodil Delight card (#121680) for the circle with the “rays”. This card was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) making it easy to attach to the card. The stamped images were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“With Love” from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink, then punched with the Three Banner Punch (#167050). This was also attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Glimmer was added to the flowers & leaves using the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897). I coloured the Antique Pearls (#164679) with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends before attaching them to the card.

The leaves were coloured with the Light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885) and the flowers with Barely Blush Stampin’ Blends (#167667). These were cut with a co-ordinating Lily Of The Valley dies (#167942).

Mini Alphabet Dies

Hi friends,

I have used the Mini Alphabet Dies (#162934) for the individual letters on this card. I have just realised I have used all dies and no stamping on this card.

I dry embossed the Basic White card (#166781) with a retired Merry Melody embossing folder. I added a narrow piece of Blueberry Bushel card (#146991) to the sides. As this is a square folder and I couldn't emboss the whole card front, I embossed 2 smaller pieces for the sides and attached them to the Blueberry Bushel base card and attached the larger pieces on top.

I cut the squares and “diamonds” with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183). The squares are cut from Hydrangea Hue card (#167688) and for the “diamonds” I used the 2026-2028 In Color Painted Patterns designer Series Paper (#167755).

For “Happy” and the letters I also used Blueberry Bushel card. The background of “happy” is Hydrangea Hue card. “Happy” is from the Words & Wishes dies (#167894). “11” is cut with the retired Alphabet A La Mode dies.

I used the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755) to attach the letters, numbers & “happy” to the card. I taped the diamonds to the squares, then taped the squares to the card.

Fern & Flora Bundle

Hello everyone,

The Fern & Flora Bundle (#167745) consists of the Fern & Flora stamp set (#167739) and the Fern & Flora dies (#168991).

I cut the detailed leaves using Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), then attached these to the Soft Sea Foam card front to give an “embossed” look. This was matted with Peaceful Pine card (#167692) and attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#166785).

The large leaf and floral images were stamped with Peaceful Pine ink (#167679) onto Very Vanilla card. The Stampin’ Blends to colour these images are Soft Sea Foam (#154902), Poppy Parade (#154958) and Daffodil Delight (#154883).

The butterflies are stamped with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094). The sentiment from Notes Of Spring stamp set (#167979) was stamped with Peaceful Pine ink and the stamped frame was stamped with Poppy Parade ink (#147050).

I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach one of the floral images and Stampin’ (#104430) to attach all the other elements.

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897)was used to add glimmer to the flowers & butterflies, and the Antique Pearls (#164679) were added to the butterflies.

Floral Spray Embossing Folder

Hi friends,

Sorry for my absence in the past week but I had some unexpected time away.

Today I am using the beautiful Floral Spray 3D Embossing Folder (#167946), and I have used the de-embossed side or the back of the embossed card.

I used Sponge Daubers (#133773) to lightly add colour to the flowers & leaves. For the larger flower I used Hydrangea Hue ink (#167677), Golden Glow ink (#167676) for the smaller flowers and Peaceful Pine ink (#167679) for the leaves. I then used the Basic Black Hybrid ink pad (#166648) and lightly dragged it along the card so it picks up the higher areas of the embossing. I love this effect.

This card was matted with Basic Black card (#121688), then Hydrangea Hue card (#167688) and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“Happy Birthday” from the Cutest Crew stamp set (#167146) was stamping with Hydrangea Hue ink and cut with a die from the Phrases & Frames dies (#167586). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the sentiment to the card.

A Wonderful Match Designer Series Paper

Hello Friends,

My grand daughter loves playing soccer so I knew that the A Wonderful Match Designer Series Paper (#167515) was going to be perfect for her birthday card.

This paper pack includes full page football/soccer themed paper as well as smaller images with a variety of images on a page.

The shirt, ball and shoes are one of the smaller images in black & white, so great to colour as you want. I used Azure Afternoon Stampin’ Blends (#161672) to colour the shirt and Real Red Stampin’ Blends (#154899) on the shoes. For the ball I used the Golden Glow Shimmer Brush (#167662). These new shimmer brushes, which are available in the 5 new In-Colors, colour and add shimmer at the same time. I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the shirt & shoes. I fussy cut this image.

I added the DSP to the Basic White base card (#166781). I dry embossed the Real Red card (#106578) with a retired Painted Texture embossing folder and attached this to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The shirt image was taped to the card.

“Happiest Birthday Wishes” from the Phrases & Frames stamp set (#167581) was stamped with Azure Afternoon ink (#161663) then cut with a retired Textured Notes die. This was attached to the card with a Stampin’ Dimensional and tape.
