Beautiful Trees Dies

Hi my lovely friends,

I have used the Beautiful Trees dies (#155840) for the tree on todays card. I know that the branches probably should be behind the cut-out leaves but I liked to see more of the branches as the leaves covered most of the branches. On the 2nd photo, I added some extra pieces of the detailed cut-out leaves and put on top of the branches.








I cut the solid part of the leaves from Garden Green card (#108605) and the detailed cut-out of the leaves from the Beauty Of The Earth Designer Series Paper (#155841). For the 2nd card I cut another piece of the detailed leaves and cut small pieces from this and randomly added on top of the branches so you can still see some of the branches. The trunk and branches were cut from Soft Suede card (#119982). These were assembled with the Fine Tip- Glue Pen (#138309).

I cut the Very Vanilla rectangle with a die from Natures Thoughts (#153586), then dry embossed with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406). This was attached to a piece of the Beauty Of The Earth DSP which was attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

“Thank You” from the Beauty Of Friendship stamp set (#154983) was stamped with Merry Merlot ink (#147112) and cut with a die from the Beautiful Trees Dies and attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The birds were also cut from the same die set from Merry Merlot card (#147005) and also attached with Mini Dimensionals. I added the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the birds. The embellishment is from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#150457). 

Today (30th September) is the last day to get any of the free products from Sale-a-bration, so contact me if you want anything or go to lesleyjendra.stampinup.net

Whimsical Trees Bundle

Hello friends,

Each year I do a whole day of classes for Christmas cards where I have a great variety of cards for everyone to make. I try to keep the cards fairly simple which allows the ladies to make as many as possible. This was one of the cards, which was very popular.




The base card & card front are Basic White (#159228). I dry embossed the card front with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (#156505), then attached the gorgeous Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper (#156329). The edges of the card front were daubered with Mint Macaron ink (#147106).

The Christmas tree was cut from Mint Macaron card (#138344) and the tree decoration was cut from Silver Foil Specialty card (#156457) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). These were both cut using the Christmas Trees Dies (#156339). The tree was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Merry Christmas is from the Peaceful Deer stamp set (#156891) and stamped with Mint Macaron Ink then cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820). I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach this to the card.

Brilliant Wings

Hi my friends,

For a butterfly lover, I haven’t made a card with a butterfly for a while, however you could replace the butterfly with a variety of images.





I used the Shimmery White Finish Embossing Paste (#154645) with one of the Plenty Of Patterns Decorative Masks (#155553) to create the background on the larger piece of Basic White card (#159228). The smaller Basic White card was dry embossed with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder (#152725). Both these white cards were matted with Blackberry Bliss card (#133682). The smaller matted card was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I wrapped the Metallic Mesh Ribbon (#153550) around the card front then attached it to the Basic White base card. The butterflies were cut with the Brilliant Wings dies (#155523) from Blackberry Bliss card and Silver Foil Specialty (#156457). The Silver butterfly was attached to the base butterfly with Mini Glue Dots (#103683), then taped to the card.

Happy Birthday is from the Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) and stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092). I cut this with the die from the Bloom Dies (#155989). The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Scrapbook page

Hello friends,

Unfortunately I don’t get a lot of time to do much scrapbooking so thought it was time to do a page.




The base page is Very Vanilla 12”x12” cardstock (#144239). I cut a variety of the In Good Taste 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#152494) with 2 sizes of the Hippo & Friends Dies (#153585) and taped them to the page.

The photo was matted with Night Of Navy card (#106577), the next layer is Crumb Cake card (#121685) followed by another Night Of Navy card.

The Brushed Metallic 12”x12” cardstock (#153524) was cut with the dies from the Layering Hugs (#155860). I cut a label from the Hippo & Friends dies which I will add the journaling to, and this was placed over the detailed die cut. The small leaves and flowers are also cut with dies from the Layering Hugs. I had adhered the Adhesive Sheets (#152334) to the back of the Metallic Foil before cutting. This makes it very easy to attach these fine cut-outs to the page.

This and the Real Red card (#106578) & the Garden Green card (#108605) were cut with a Scalloped Contours die (#155560). The scalloped rectangles were taped together, then attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment on the first card is from the Peaceful Deers stamp set (#156891) and stamped with Real Red ink.
“Seasons Greeting’s” from Merriest Moments stamp set (#156353) and “Merry Christmas” from Peaceful Deers stamp set were both stamped with Garden Green ink.
 The dies to cut the sentiments (in order) are from the Stitched Rectangles dies (#151820), the Ornate Frames Dies (#150664) and the Seasonal Labels Dies (#156299). Each were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Cork Specialty Paper & Dragonfly Garden

Hi,

Firstly, a very happy Father’s Day to all fathers. I hope you are having a relaxing day.

I have used the beautiful Cork 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#156393) for the background of this card.




I stamped the image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set (#154411) on to the Cork Specialty Paper, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I matted this with the Shaded Spruce card (#147006) and attached the card front to the Basic White base card (#159228). The gold & white striped paper is from the Expressions In Ink 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#155464).

I stamped the Dragonfly from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp set using VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was then punched with the Dragonflies Punch (#154240) ands attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment from Encircled In Friendship stamp set (#155408) was stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088) and cut with a Bloom Die (#155989). This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Hello friends,

This card is highlighting 2 of the Sale-a-bration products which you can get for free. With each $90 order (in Australia) you can choose 1 free product.





The base card is Very Vanilla (#106550). I dry embossed the Blackberry Bliss card (#133682) with the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder (#155433). There are 2 folders in this set, one with snowflakes which I have used on this card, and the other has pine leaves.

I daubered the Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper (#156628) from Sale-a-bration with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092) and attached this to the card.

I cut Blackberry Bliss card with a die from the Delicate Baubles Dies (#156383). The detailed die from the same set was used to cut the Be Dazzling 6”x6” Specialty Paper (#156629), also from Sale-a-bration. I had adhered Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to the back of the Be Dazzling paper before cutting. This was then adhered to the solid bauble, then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I punched the ends of the 1/2” strip of Be Dazzling Specialty Paper with the Banners Pick A Punch (#153608). This was taped to the card. The sentiment from the Peaceful Deer stamp set (#156891) was stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink and cut with a Seasonal Labels Die (#156299). Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the sentiment.

Peaceful Deer Bundle

Hi & welcome,

A simple card today using the cute deer from the Peaceful Deer Bundle (#156391).




I dry embossed the Soft Succulent Vellum from the 2021-2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum (#155616) with the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder (#153576). 
The sentiment from the Peaceful Deer stamp set (#156891) was stamped with Soft Succulent ink (#155778). I cut the Very Vanilla card (#106550) with a Stitched So Sweetly Die (#151690), then I taped the vellum to the back of the “frame”. This was then attached to the Soft Succulent base card (#155777).

I stamped the deers with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). These were punched with the Deer Builder Punch (#156390). The 2 deer were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).
