Shining Stars Dies

Hello friends,

A gorgeous Christmas card using the Shining Stars dies, which is October’s Product Of The Month. Unfortunately in Australia this is already sold out, so hope you had a chance to get this set.

All the gold stars are cut from the Timeless Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168548).

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Swirls Of Magic Embossing Folder (#168179). I attached the stars with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755), Mini Glue Dots (#103683), Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The sentiment and red star are from the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies (#170592) and this was foiled with the Red Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170552). The sentiment was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and the red star with a Mini Glue Dot. The base card is Basic White.

Notes Of Collage

Welcome again everyone,

The Notes of Collage bundle (169769) as well as the exclusive Collage Botanicals stamp set were used for a recent virtual card class. The Notes Of Collage bundle will be available to purchase in the November On Line Exclusives. The Collage Botanicals was only available for the virtual class. I have used all these on today’s card.

I stamped the image along the bottom of the Very Vanilla card front (#166785) with Crumb Cake ink (#147116) and the leaf on the right side with Peaceful Pine ink (#167679). These 2 images are from the Collage Botanicals stamp set.

I stamped a leaf from the Notes Of Collage stamp set (#169763) with Golden Glow ink (#167676) and cut this with the Notes Of Collage dies (#169768). I die cut another leaf from the set with Pecan Pie card (#161726) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

I used Golden Glow ink on a Blending Brush (#153611) to colour the background of the card front. I also added the “splashes” with Crumb Cake ink which was stamped off for the lighter finish. The Golden Glow die cut leaf was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Birthday Shoutout stamp set (#169840) - also available in November. This was stamped with Pecan Pie ink (#161665) and cut with a Notes Of Collage die. I also cut a piece of Pecan Pie card and offset it under the sentiment. This was also attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The card front was matted with Pecan Pie card and attached to the Very Vanilla base card. The embellishments are the Mosaic Adhesive-Backed dots (#169772) and also available in November.

Tile Garden Dies

Hello friends,

I have used the Tile Garden dies (#168573) for the square cut outs on today’s card. There are 12 different dies in a variety of sizes with 3 different designs around the edges. These also match with the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580).

There will be a new batch of Online Exclusives available in November, including the Birthday Shoutout stamp set (#169840) which has a range of sentiments for birthdays and other celebrations. I stamped the sentiment from this set with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) on Basic White card (#166781).

The card front is from the Mosaic Garden Designer Series Paper (#168566) and matted with Pretty Peacock card (#150886), then attached to the Basic White base card.

The Pretty Peacock card and Crisp Cantaloupe card (#167694) were cut with the dies and taped to the card. The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are from the Array Of Dots (#167559).

Silver Opal Stampin’ Hot Foil

Hello again friends,

The Silver Opal Stampin’ Hot Foil Roll (#170554) has been used for this card and gives a lovely colour to the foil depending on the light.

I used the Reverse Hot Foil Die (#170043) with the Silver Opal Foil on Basic White card (#166781) for a plain background, then I used the Floral Spray Embossing Folder (#167946) to dry embossed the card. This was matted with Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) and attached to the Basic White base card.

“Congratulations” from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and punched with the Three Banner punch (#167050). I cut the Gorgeous Grape banner under the sentiment with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). The sentiment was attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I coloured the retired Frosted Iridescent Dots with Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends (#154887) before attaching them to the card.

Noel Greetings Paper Pumpkin Kit

Hello again & welcome,

Today I have made a variation with the Noel Greetings Paper Pumpkin Kit which is the kit for October.

The only thing not included in the kit which I have used is the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) which I added to the stamped trees to add some shimmer.

The ink for all the stamping is Mossy Meadow. The Stampin’ Spots now included are the new Premium Stampin’ Spots and are a little bigger than the original spots and with the new felt pads.

I used Tape and Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the elements to the card.

These kits are all inclusive, so great for a quick & easy card and also convenient to take on holidays.

Welcome Noel

Hello again my friends,

I love these cute little houses from the Welcome Noel dies (#168464).

The houses were cut from Soft Sea Foam card (#147012), Barely Blush card (#167690) and Basic Beige card (#164512). These were glued with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755) to the Basic White card (#166781) which was cut with the outline dies from the same set.

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Sunray Embossing Folder (#169834) - (available in November from the Online Exclusives). Th DSP along the bottom of the card is Neutral Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168448).

The trees from the Welcome Noel stamp set (#168462) were stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) and cut with the Welcome Noel dies. I added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the trees.

The sentiment is from the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies (#170592) and I used the Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170066). The co-ordinating cutting die was used to cut the sentiement.

I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to add the trees, houses and sentiment to the card. The base card is Basic White.
