Velvet Meadow Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello again,

I often make a couple of variations of a card while I have the products out, so here is another card today using the Velvet Meadow Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167904).

I have used 2 of the designs from the DSP and both were matted with Berry Burst card (#144249). The smaller piece was attached to the larger card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The base card is Basic White (#166781).

The sentiment from the Friendly Foliage stamp set (#167021) was stamped with Berry Burst ink (#147143) and cut with a Paradise Garden Die (#167120). This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The flowers & leaves were cut with dies from the Fragrant Layers dies (#167154). I used Berry Burst card, Daffodil Delight card (#121680) and Peaceful Pine card (#167692). These were all attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Hi friends,

Beautiful designer paper can make quick & easy cards, like this design from the Velvet Meadow Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167904). This paper has velvet texture on each floral design.

The DSP was matted with Berry Burst card (#144249).

The sentiment from the All Aflutter stamp set (#167564) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) onto Berry Burst card. I added White powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with a die from the Fragrant Layers Dies (#167154). The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The white twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack (#155475) was threaded through the sentiment and wrapped around the card front. This was then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I added some small butterflies from the Gilded Wings Accents (#169953) which will be available in July from the online exclusives. The Antique Pearls (#164679) were added to the card & butterflies.

Eyelet Blooms Die

Hello again friends,

Here is a variation of a card I posted on 16th May (using the Moonlit Flora Suite). Today I have used a variety of products including the beautiful Eyelet Blooms die (#167984) for the card front.

The Basic White card front (#166781) was then matted with Bubble Bath card (#161727) and attached to the Basic White base card.

I cut 3 pieces of the Splash Of Sparkles Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167200) with a die from the Paradise Garden dies (#167120). These were attached to a piece of Window Sheet (#142314), then I cutnthe circle with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach this to the card.

The butterflies from All Aflutter stamp set (#167564) were heat embossed with VersaMark (#102283) and Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I then coloured them with Stampin’ Blends - Bubble Bath (#161675), Fresh Freesia (#155518) and Highland Heather (#154887). The co-ordinating All A Flutter punch (#167569) was used to punch the butterflies.

The Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) was used for the leaves which was cut with a Fern & Flora die (#168991). This was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) and attached to the card. The Butterflies were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Congratulations” from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) was also Gold embossed and cut with a die from the Paradise Garden. This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Gears & Textures

Welcome everyone,

A great masculine card using the Gears & Textures dies (#166853).

The gears were cut from Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper (#165901) and Gold Foil sheet (#132622).

The Party Banners dies (#165264) were used to cut the banners from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393).

The card front is from the Wood Grain Wonders Designer Series Paper (#167428) and attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#166785).

I dry embossed a piece of the Night Of Navy Two Tone card stock (#166684) with the Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder (#167744). This was then sanded to reveal the white core. I also tore the edge, again showing the white core.

I taped the two tone card and the banners to the card. The 2 larger gears were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and the small gold gear was attached to the larger one with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The sentiment is from the Phrases & Frames stamp set (#167581) and this was stamped with Night Of Navy ink (#147110). A die from the Ferns & Flora dies (#168991) was used to cut the sentiment. Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach this to the card. The embellishments are the Pressed Flower Motifs (#165215).

The card front is from the Splash Of Sparkles Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167200) and matted with Gorgeous Grape card (#147011). The basecard is Basic White (#166781).

The leaves were cut with the Delicate Whispers dies (#167505) from Gorgeous Grape card and Silver Foil Sheet (#163387). Both these cards were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), so easily attached to the card front.

I stamped the frame from the Exciting Times stamp set (#167875) using VersaMark (#102283) and I added the Silver powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The inside was punched with the co-ordinating Rounded Rectangle punch (#167880). The sentiment from the Exciting Times stamp set was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099). The frame was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and the sentiment was taped.

The butterflies are from the All Aflutter stamp set (#167564). I stamped the background of the butterflies with Highland Heather ink (#147103), then silver embossed the detailed butterflies. These were punched with the co-ordinating All Aflutter Punch (#167569). The butterflies were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Cutest Crew Bundle

Hi friends,

These cute kittens are from the Cutest Crew Bundle (#167149).

I stamped the images from the Cutest Crew stamp set (#167146) with Basic Black Hybrid ink (#166648) onto Basic White card (#166781). These were then coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Crumb Cake (#154882), Smoky Slate (#154904), Golden Glow (#167682), Cloud Cover (#165287), 400 from the Medium Deep (#159461) & 500 from the Medium (#159462) Natural tones, Azure Afternoon (#161672), Poppy Parade (#154958), Timid Tiger (#165291), Daffodil Delight (#154883) and Highland Heather (#154887).

I cut the strip of kittens with the die from the Cutest Crew dies (#167148). Then I fussy cut the kittens to separate them.

“H” & “B” are cut with the Party Alphabet dies (#165263) from Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). I stamped “Happy Birthday” from the retired Simply Said stamp set with VersaMark (#102283), then added Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The card front is from the Pastels Shimmer Specialty Paper (#167198) and embossed with the (retired) Soft Waves Embossing Folder. This was then matted with Secret Sea card (#165296) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The letters and words were attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I hid the “H” & “B” from the words behind the gold letters. The gold butterfly is from the Gilded Wings Accents (#169953) which will be available in the July Online Exclusives.

I added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) for some glimmer on the kittens.
