Nature’s Symphony Bundle

Hello again stamping friends,

Today I have used the Nature’s Symphony Bundle (#166926) which consists of the Nature’s Symphony stamp set (#166919) and Nature’s Symphony dies (#166925).

The large leaves were stamped with Old Olive ink (#147090) and the smaller leaves with Crumb Cake ink (#147116). These were cut with the dies. I also cut leaves from Mossy Meadow card (#133683). The woodgrain die cut also uses one of the Nature’s Symphony dies and I used Old Olive card (#106576).

I stamped the large leaves onto Nature Walk Designer Series Paper (#166912) using Old Olive ink, stamped off. The DSP was matted with Old Olive card and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“Just A Note” from the Fragrant Layers stamp set (#167150) was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111) and punched with the Three Banner punch (#167050).

The stamped Old Olive leaves and the Mossy Meadow leaves were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The woodgrain piece was taped to the card and the sentiment and Crumb Cake leaves were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

These Faux Bronze Pentagons (#166931) were the embellishments used on the card.

Fragrant Layers Stamp set

Hello friends,

I have used the flowers from the Fragrant Layers stamp set (#167150) on today’s card.

I stamped part of the image twice using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#166781). The Stampin’ Blends to colour this are Highland Heather (#154887), Fresh Freesia (#155518), Bubble Bath (#161675), Blackberry Bliss (#154877), Daffodil Delight (#154883) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). I also coloured “Happy Birthday with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends. This sentiment is from the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (#164862).

After colouring the floral images, I used an Everyday Arches Die (#164629) to cut the arch in the centre of the card. The outside piece was dry embossed with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder (#167097). I attached this piece to Highland Heather card (#147010) with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The inside piece was taped to the card.

The sentiment was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). Glimmer was added to the flowers with Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) and I attached the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems (#162611) to complete the card.

Notes Of Spring stamp set

Hello again friends,

The March Product Of The Month is the Notes Of Spring stamp set (#167979). With a qualifying order (in Australia it is a $125 order) you can purchase the product of the month for just $9.

The deer are from the stamp set and I have stamped the outline with Pecan Pie ink (#161665). The inside was stamped with Pecan Pie ink, stamping off first, to get the lighter colour. These were then fussy cut, then glimmer was added using the Clear Wink OF Stella (#141897).

The Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper (#165196) was used for the card front and matted with Pecan Pie card (#161726), then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

One deer was taped to the card and the other with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I cut a piece of Pecan Pie card with a die from the Nature’s Symphony dies (#166925) and taped it to the card, then the sentiment on top. The sentiment is also from the Notes Of Spring stamp set and stamped with Pecan Pie ink. A Fragrant Layers die (#167154) cut the sentiment and was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The Pressed Flower Motifs (#165215) were added to finish the card.

Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

I have used the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper (#166957) on today’s card.

This design is gold & white but I chose to colour just the background leaving the flowers & leaves. I used Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675), then added glimmer on the Bubble Bath with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

“Happy Birthday” from the 2026 Virtual Card Making Retreat stamp set (#170026) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment was cut with a Paradise Garden die (#167120). I also cut a piece of Bubble Bath card (#161727) with the same die, cut it in half and attached the 2 pieces to the sentiment.

The DSP was matted with Bubble Bath card and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781). The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The (retired) Brushed Brass Butterflies were attached to the sentiment.

Brushed With Beauty

Hi friends,

I have used the Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper (#167082) for the strip with the floral images and to stamp the sentiment on to.

The gold & white card front is from the Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164037). This was matted with Calypso Coral card (#124392) and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“Happy Birthday” from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) was stamped with Calypso Coral ink (#147101). The 2 circles were cut with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183).

The flowers from the Petals Of Beauty stamp set (#167093) were stamped with Calypso Coral ink. I stamped the darker colour with the ink as normal and for the lighter ink I “stamped off” which gives the lighter colour.

These flowers and the leaves were cut with the Petals Of Beauty dies (#167095). For the leaves I used Mossy Meadow card (#133683) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). The leaves were attached to the card, for the circles I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and for the flowers I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals & Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The embellishments are the Antique Pearls (#164679). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the flowers.
