Rings Of Love Designer Series Paper

Hello & welcome again friends,

I am now back from a lovely relaxing holiday and couldn’t wait to get back into the craft room. Today (31st August) is the last day for sale-a-bration so I hope you have been able to get some of the beautiful free products. I have used one of the designs from the Rings Of Love Designer Series Paper (#159939) on todays card.




I attached the designer paper to the Evening Evergreen card (#155575). I wrapped the Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon (#155573) around the card front, then attached this to the Basic White base card (#159228).

“Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Evening Evergreen ink (#155576). This was cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820), then matted with Evening Evergreen card. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The beautiful Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) were added to the sentiment.

A really easy card which you could use any of your designer papers. If you are like me you will have a great range to choose from.

Fond Of Autumn stamp set

Hi again friends,

Firstly, I am having a few weeks off so unfortunately I won’t have any cards for the blog till the end of the month after today.

I have made a third card using the Fond Of Autumn bundle (#159838). Each of these cards are totally different so it’s great to be able to get variety from a set. I have paired this with the wreath die from the Natural Prints dies (#158800).




The flowers & leaves from the Fond Of Autumn stamp set (#160266) were stamped on Basic White card (#159228) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). These were coloured with Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends (#159224), Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends (#159220) and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883).

The sentiment and banner is from the same stamp set and I used Daffodil Delight (#147094) and Sweet Sorbet inks (#159216). The banner, flowers & leaves were cut with the Autumn Bouquet dies (#159837).

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder (#158804). This was matted with Sweet Sorbet card (#159266), then attached to the Basic White base card.

The Wreath was cut from Daffodil Delight card (#121680) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) which makes this detailed wreath easy to attach to the card. The flowers and banner were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Autumn Bouquet Dies

Hello friends,

I am using the Fond Of Autumn bundle (#159838) again today. The Autumn Bouquet Dies (#159837) have 2 larger dies that cut the floral image in 2 different ways. One die cuts the whole image like I used on yesterdays card. The other die cuts the image in 4 parts as shown below.



I chose only the flowers and the 2 sets of leaves for todays card.



The image from the Fond Of Autumn stamp set (#160266) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends used to colour this are Pale Papaya (#155519), Pumpkin Pie (#154897), Mossy Meadow (#154890), Old Olive (#154892) and Daffodil Delight (#154883).

I dry embossed the Pale Papaya card (#155669) with the Gingham Embossing Folder (#157627) and matted this with Basic Black card (#121688). The base card is Basic White (#159228).

The frame is cut with a die from the Fabulous Frames (#159163) using the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237). This was glued to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).  Basic White card was used for the inside of the frame. “Thank You” from the Fond Of Autumn stamp set was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. The 2 sets of leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are from the 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds (#159185).

Fond Of Autumn Bundle

Hi crafty friends,

I have just received the Fond Of Autumn Bundle (#159838) and couldn't wait to play with it.




I stamped the image from the Fond Of Autumn stamp set (#160266) on Basic White card (#159228) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends used to colour this are Soft Succulent (#155521), Mossy Meadow (#154890), Granny Apple Green (#154885), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Crumb Cake (#154882) and Poppy Parade (#154958). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add some sparkle.

The sentiment and banner are also from the same stamp set. The banner was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and the sentiment with Crushed Curry ink (#147087). As this stamp set is photopolymer I was able to curved the sentiment to fit the curve of the banner.

I cut the detailed cut-out on the Crushed Curry card (#131288), the floral image and banner with dies from the Autumn Bouquet dies (#159837). The stamped image & banner were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Festive Pearls (#159963) were added to the banner & flower centres. The base card is Basic White.
