Terrific Toadstools Bundle

Hi & welcome,

The Terrific Toadstools Bundle (#164790) is retiring but the individual stamp set & punch will still be available in the new Annual Catalogue. Just a tip, if you would like this bundle, you would be wise to order it before 5th May, as after this date the stamp set & punch will increase in price as it’s no longer offered as a bundle, so no discounted price.

I stamped the toadstools from the Terrific Toadstool stamp set (#164783) using Pumpkin Pie ink (#147086), Crushed Curry ink (#147087) and Pecan Pie ink (#161665). The stalks were stamped with Crumb Cake ink (#147116).

“Happy Birthday” is from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) and stamped with Old Olive ink (#147090). A Delicate Forest die (#162679) was used to cut the sentiment.

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#166781) with the Painted Texture Embossing Folder (#154317) and matted it with the Old Olive card (#106576). A strip of the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162616) was attached to the card front.

The toadstools were punched with the Terrific Toadstools Builder Punch (#164789). The larger stalk needs to be fussy cut. The “grass” was cut with a die from the Impressions Abloom dies (#165610) which will be available from 6th May. I used Old Olive card.

The toadstools, grass and sentiment were all attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) added shimmer to the Toadstools.

Flowers Of Beauty

Hello again friends,

Again I am using retiring products - Flowers Of Beauty Bundle (#163376) and the Linked Together dies (#164808).

Check all the retiring products in the Last Chance products - https://www.stampinup.com.au with some great discounts on many of the products. Just a little tip, sometimes it may be better value to buy a stamp set & die separately rather than the bundle in the Last Chance Products.

The card front was dry embossed with the Birch Wood Embossing Folder (#164069) and matted with Flirty Flamingo card (#141421), then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I stamped the flowers from the Flowers Of Beauty stamp set (#163374) with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052) and the leaves were stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). The flowers, stamped leaves and the Lemon Lime Twist (#144250) leaves were cut with the Flowers Of Beauty dies (#163375).

A die from Linked Together was used to cut the Silver Foil (#163387). This was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). After cutting with the die, just peel off the backing and attach it to the card.

The die cut leaves and flowers were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the stamped leaves with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Happy Birthday” from Simply Said stamp set (#163756) was stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink and cut with a Delicate Forest die (#162679). This die set is also retiring. The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are from the Adhesive-Backed Pearl Trio (#163319). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the flowers.

Kiss Of Texture stamp set

Hi friends,

Another retiring product is the Kiss Of Texture stamp set (#164759) which is where this floral image is from.

I stamped the floral image with Azure Afternoon ink (#161663) on Basic White card (#166781) and cut the images with 2 of the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580). I used a smaller die to cut the Azure Afternoon card (#161728).

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Cute Crochet Embossing Folder (#163792) - (retiring), and matted with Azure Afternoon card, then attached to the Basic White base card.

“Congratulations” is from the More Messages stamp set (#165471). This has a variety of sentiments on one stamp and has a co-ordinating die - More Messages die (#165472) which cut out all the sentiments at one time. You could also just ink one or 2 sentiments and still use the die.

I taped the smaller circle with the flowers to the card front, then used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the Azure Afternoon circle, and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the larger circle.

The sentiment was attached to the strip of Azure Afternoon card then taped on top of the floral image.

I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the flowers to add some glimmer. I added White Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics (#156310) to the berries of the stamped images, and the dots from Itty Bitty Bokeh Mix (#164618) were glued to the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

Firstly, I wish you all a very Happy Easter. As I have family here for the weekend I will be back in a few days so I can spend time with them.

I stamped on the Basic White card front (166781) with the Painted Stripes background stamp (#165437) using VersaMark (#102283), then added White powder from the Wow! Basics Stampin’ Embossed Powder (#165697). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). Then, using a Blending Brush (#153611) with Melon Mambo ink (#147051) I coloured the card front. This was matted with Melon Mambo card (#119980) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The hearts were cut with the Adoring Hearts dies (#162569) from Marbled Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164919) and Gold Foil Sheets (#132622) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). I taped 2 of the hearts to the card and the middle one was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The banner & the numbers were cut with the Birthday Celebration Dies (#164598). The numbers were also from the Gold Foil Sheet backed with Adhesive Sheet.

“Happy Anniversary” from the Layers Of Beauty stamp set (#163514) was stamped with VersaMark with Gold from the Wow! Metallics Embossing Powders (#165678), and set with the Heat Tool.

The banner was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I added the Iridescent Adhesive Backed Discs (#161954).

Adventurous Sky Bundle

Hi everyone,

Another retiring product is the Adventurous Sky Bundle (#163447) which consists of the Adventurous Sky stamp set (#163439) and the Adventurous Sky dies (#163446).

I stamped the plane and sentiment from the stamp set with Night Of Navy ink (#147110) onto Basic White card (#166781) and cut with dies from the Adventurous Sky dies.

I cut the circles with dies from the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580) using Night Of Navy card (#106557), Misty Moonlight card (#153086) and Basic White card.

The Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper (#163436) was matted with Night Of Navy card and attached to the Basic White base card.

I taped 3 circles to the card front then used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) for the larger circle under the plane. The plane was attached with tape where it sits on the larger circle and Dimensionals to the right side. The sentiment was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The propellers were cut with the dies using Silver Foil Sheet (#163387) and attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Lovely & Sweet

Hi again,

The Lovely & Sweet stamp set (#162617) and Lovely & Sweet dies (#162626) are retiring so wanted to highlight them today.

I stamped the image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#166781). This is the new code for Basic White card as mentioned yesterday.

I coloured this with Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends (#161674), Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends (#154902), Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends (#161680) and the retiring Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends (161661). A die from the Lovely & sweet dies was used to cut this image.

I stamped on the Soft Sea Foam card (#154902) with the cross hatch stamp from the same stamp set, using Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). This is very light so may not be very clear on the photo. The Nature’s Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162616) was attached to the card front.

“Happy Birthday” from the Year Of Flowers stamp set (#165367) was stamped with the retiring Pebbled Path ink (#161648) and cut with a Lovely & Sweet die.

The sentiment and stamped image was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are retired Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots.

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