Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Paper

Hi everyone,

The Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Paper (#167752) is a pack of black & white designs which you can use as is or colour, which I did on these vases of flowers.

I fussy cut the images before colouring with Stampin’ Blends - Lost Lagoon (#161680), Peaceful Pine (#167668), Smoky Slate (#154904) and Balmy Blue (#154830). I also used the new Shimmer Brushes - Crisp Cantaloupe (#167661), Hydrangea Hue (#167663) and Peaceful Pine (#167665). These shimmer brushes colour and add shimmer at the same time.

I cut the Crisp Cantaloupe from the 2026-2028 In Colour Pearlised Specialty Paper (#167766) with a Scalloped Blooms die (#167646). This was attached to the Basic White card front (#166781) which was dry embossed with the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder (#167179). This was matted with Basic Black card (#121688), then attached to the Basic White base card.

The vases of flowers were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The sentiment from the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (#164862) was added with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The embellishments are from the 2026-2028 In Color Dots (#167546).

Swirls Of Magic Embossing Folder

Welcome everyone,

There is a great range of new products now available from the Online exclusives, including this beautiful Swirls Of Magic Embossing Folder (#168179), which will be suitable for all types of celebrations.

I cut 4 different colours of card 4cm x 11cm and cut diagonally from top left to bottom right. Another piece (cut the same size) was cut into a triangle, from the top left and top right, to the midpoint (2cm) at the bottom. This piece fitted in the middle. The card used is Crushed Curry (#131288), Daffodil Delight (#121680), Darling Duckling (#165294) and Lemon Lolly (#161729).

I dry embossed these pieces of card with the embossing folder then taped them to a piece of Very Vanilla card (#166785) - 9cm x 13.4cm. I then cut the excess DSP off around the card. This was matted with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). I wrapped the Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essentials Pack (#155475) around the card front, then attached it to the Very Vanilla base card.

The balloons are from the Addressed To You stamp set (#167010) and the sentiment is from the Exciting Times stamp set (#167875). These were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Heat Embossed with Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056).
