Notes Of Nature

 Hello,

It is always disappointing when a favourite product is retiring like the Notes Of Nature Bundle (#162640), but we can also look forward to more exciting products in the upcoming Annual catalogue which is available from 1st May.





I stamped the leaves from the Notes Of Nature stamp set (#162630) using Old Olive ink (#147090). The Notes Of Nature dies (#163203) were used to cut these leaves as well as the leaves from the Gold Foil (#132622) and the Old Olive card (#106576). I used Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of the Gold Foil & Old Olive card.

I stamped the leafy image from the stamp set onto the Basic White (#159228) background using Crumb Cake ink (#147116) but stamping off each time for a lighter colour. This was matted with Old Olive card and attached to the Basic White Base Card.

I cut the gold & white floral DSP from the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162616) using an Everyday Details die (#162864) this was taped to the card.

“Happy Birthday” from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set (#161450) was stamped with Old Olive ink. The circles were cut with the Everyday Details dies.

The Old Olive circle and stamped leaves were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The other die cut leaves were attached to the card. I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the stamped leaves. The embellishments are the Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) and Gold Festive Pearls (#159963).

The retiring products used here are Notes of Nature Bundle, stamp set & dies, Beautiful balloons stamp set and Festive Pearls.

Two Tone Flora

 Welcome everyone,

I am using a variety of retiring products again for this card, including the Two-Tone Flora stamp set (#160844).




The flowers were stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink (#159216). The outline of the flowers were stamped with “full strength” ink and the inside was stamped using the stamping off method. To do this, ink the stamp as usual, stamp onto scrap paper to remove some of the ink, then stamp over the outline of the flower. This gives a lighter colour, so you only need 1 coloured ink to achieve 2 colours. The leaves were stamped with Lost Lagoon ink (#161678). The flowers and leaves were cut with Two-Tone Flora dies (#159181).

I cut the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (#162593) with one of the Patchwork Pieces Die (#161592). The pieces were attached to a piece of Very Vanilla card (#106550), spreading the pieces slightly.

I cut another piece of Very Vanilla card for the “frame” using a die from the Darling Details dies (#161370). The card front was matted with Lost Lagoon card (#133686), then attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

The larger flower was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the small flowers & leaves.

“Congratulations” from the Translucent Florals stamp set (#162243) was stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink, then cut with a Happy Little Things die (#163709). Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to add this to the card.

The retiring products used here are the Two-Tone Flora stamp set & dies, Darling Details dies, Patchwork Pieces dies & Sweet Sorbet ink.

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the flowers.

Beautiful Balloon dies

 Hi Stamping Friends,

These little balloons are cut with a die from the Beautiful Balloons dies (#161456) from Basic White card (#159228).




I cut the letters using the Mini Alphabet dies (#162934) and Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). The gold foil was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) making it easy to attach the letters to the balloons.

I attached the balloons with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to the Gold Celebrations Specialty Designer Series Paper (#161745). I then attached the DSP to the Tahitian Tide card (#159262) which had been dry embossed with the now retired Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder. This was attached to the Basic White base card.

“Birthday” from the Biggest Wish stamp set (#155052) was stamped with Tahitian Tide ink (#159210) and cut with a die from the Enduring Beauty dies (#162672). This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Retiring products used here are the Beautiful Balloons dies, Gold Celebrations Specialty Designer Series Paper, Tahitian card & ink and the Biggest Wish stamp set.

Just a correction to yesterdays blog, the Petal Park Builder Punch isn’t retiring.

Petal Park

 Hello everyone,

At this time of the year when there are products retiring from both the Annual and Mini catalogues, I like to highlight some of these products which I have probably ignored for a while. So I have used a variety of retiring products on this card.




The flowers are from the Petal Park stamp set (#160571). I stamped these using Sweet Sorbet ink (#159216), Orchid Oasis ink (#159214) and Daffodil Delight ink (#147094). I stamped the outline with the inks as normal, then for the “inside” colour, I inked the stamp, stamped it off onto a scrap of paper to achieve a lighter colour then stamped the flower. These flowers were punched with the co-ordinating Petal Park Builder Punch (#160576).

I stamped the leafy image from the Dainty Delight stamp set (#161078) using Parakeet Party ink (#159208) onto the Basic White card front (#159228). I then dry embossed this card with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317). The white card was double matted with Sweet Sorbet card (#159266) and Orchid Oasis card (#159265) then attached to the Basic White base card.

I attached the flowers to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430), Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Best Wishes” from Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) was stamped with Orchid Oasis ink then cut with an All That die (#159078) and attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
