This Ribbon Combo pack also has Bubble Bath & Lemon Lolly Ribbon. The card front was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

Patchwork Pieces dies

Hello stamping friends,

I have made 2 cards today. I used one of the Patchwork Pieces Dies (#161592) to cut 2 designs of the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper (#161139), then alternating the pieces on the cards.




Using Multipurpose Glue (#110755), I glued the pieces on the first card onto the Basic White card (#159228) and onto Pretty Peacock card (#150886) for the second card. For the first card the pieces were placed against each other but the other card I moved them apart slightly. The only problem with doing this is the edges don't match properly.

The flowers and leaves are from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (#161140) and cut with the Irresistible Blooms dies (#161149). I used Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052) and Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092) for the flowers, and Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) for the leaves.

The stamped “Happy Birthday” is from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) using Flirty Flamingo ink. The die cut “Happy Birthday” is cut with the Wanted To Say dies (#161594) using Basic White card and Blackberry Bliss card (#133682). I had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of the Basic White card to attach it to the Blackberry Bliss card. Mini Glue Dots (#103683) were used to attach this to the card.

The flowers were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves with Mini Glue Dots. The Loose Frosted Dots (#161153) were adhered with the Fine Tip Glue Pen (#138309). For the first card the White card front was matted with Flirty Flamingo card (#141421). Basic White was used for both card bases.

I then cut the Holographic Trio Specialty Paper (#161744) with one of the dies then embossed it with the embossing folder. I had Adhesive Sheet (152334) on the back of the Holographic Paper before cutting, so this was then attached to the card front.

Earthen Textures

Hello friends,

I am home again and have been trying to sort out all my new goodies. The Earthen Elegance Suite Collection (#161518) is a beautiful collection which will be great for both female & masculine cards.




The Night Of Navy from the the White Centre 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#161748) was dry embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (#161600). With this White Centre paper it allows you to gently rub this with sand paper to reveal the white centre which is what I have done. I attached a piece of the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper (#161503) to this and attached the card front to the Basic White base card (#158229).

I stamped one vase from the Earthen Textures stamp set (#161504) with Misty Moonlight ink (#153118) and the other with Moody Mauve ink (#161649). The brown vase was cut from the Earthen Elegance DSP. The dies from the Earthen Elegance dies (#161513) were used to cut the vases as well as the leaves from the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237).

I wrapped the Natural Wavy Trim (#161517) around the the Misty Moonlight vase. I attached this and the brown vase with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Moody Mauve vase was taped to the card. Mini Glue Dots (#103683) were used to attach the leaves.

I then stamped using Moody Mauve ink (#161649) on another piece of Basic White card using the Countryside Corners stamp (#161468). This was cut with 2 of the Countryside Corners Dies (#161471) to create the “frame” and this was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The daisies were cut with the Cheerful Daisies dies (#161296). For the base piece of the daisies I used Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237), followed by Pretty Peacock card (#150886).

One of the pages of the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper (#161289) has a variety of designs suitable for card fronts. This bright & cheerful design is one of them. It was matted with Azure Afternoon card (#161728) and attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

I taped a small strip of the Wild Wheat card (#161734) to the edge of the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper (#161289) and attached this to the base card.

The outline of the flowers from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set (#161290) were stamped with Moody Mauve ink (#161649).

The flower centres were stamped with Wild Wheat ink (#161651).  “Thanks” from the Biggest Wish stamp set (#155052) was stamped with Moody Mauve ink.

I cut the Boho Blue & Basic White circles with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). I stamped “Happy Birthday” from Sentimental Park stamp set (#160561) with Boho Blue ink (#161650) on the white circle. I then dry embossed the White circle with the Countryside Blossoms Embossing folder. The circles were taped together and the Boho Blue circle was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

One of the designs in the DSP has a variety of images suitable for card fronts and I have used one of them on this card. I cut a piece of Shaded Spruce card (#147006) to matt the DSP. The corners were cut with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878) and this was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The card front is Bubble Bath card (#161727) - I love this new pink colour. I dry embossed this with one of the Basic 3D Embossing Folders (#161598) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228). There are 3 embossing folders included bin the Basic Embossing Folders.

The sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set (#161290) and stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088). I used a die from the Countryside Corners dies (#161471) to cut the sentiment. This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the petals of the daisies for that little bit of shimmer.

Beautiful Balloons

Hello everyone,

Firstly I apologise that I may not have a card to post every day over the next 2 weeks as I am away. I was hoping to get enough cards made before leaving but ran out of time. As you probably know the new catalogue is now available so I am using the Beautiful Balloons Bundle (#161457) on this card. I made this card before the end of the previous catalogue so I have used 2 of the now retired products.




I stamped the ribbons for the balloons onto the Basic White card front (#159228) with Bubble Bath ink (#161664). I dry embossed the card front with the spots from the Basic 3D Embossing Folders (#161598).  The edges were daubered with Gorgeous Grape ink (# 147099) then attached it to the Basic White base card. The Gold Fine Shimmmer paper (which is now retired) was cut with a die from the Beautiful Balloons Dies (#161456). I threaded the Gorgeous Grape ribbon (sorry, also retired) through the die cut piece. This was attached to the card front.

The balloons from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set were stamped with Bubble Bath ink, Highland Heather ink (#147103) and Gorgeous Grape ink. For the larger balloon and using VersaMark (#102283), I then stamped it with a different image and embossed this with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The balloons were cut with the Beautiful Balloons dies.

The label is cut from the same set of dies, then I stamped “Happy Birthday” from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set with Gorgeous Grape ink. The balloons and the sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was threaded through the label.

Countryside Corners

Hello friends,

Today (1st May) is the last day to purchase any remaining retiring products from the Annual catalogue and mini catalogue. By the time you see this it may be too late to purchase the retiring products. The are lots of products carrying over to the new catalogue as well as lots of new products. I have used a mix of “old” & “new” products on todays card.




The Countryside Corners stamp set (#161468) was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) onto Very Vanilla card (#106550). This stamp set has 6 border images in the one stamp as shown below. The dies co-ordinating with this stamp will cut out each different design. I used the die so I could see the dotted lines and used the next smaller die to cut the Hello, Irresistible 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#161139).




I dry embossed the Pretty Peacock card (#150886) with one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders (#161598). The corners were punched with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878) then this was attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) onto the DSP with Pretty Peacock ink then I attached this to the stamped card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). This was taped to the Pretty Peacock card.

I cut the Pearlescent Specialty Paper (#154291) with an Eden Die (#157831) and attached this to the Pretty Peacock card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The butterfly was cut with a Designer Tags Die (#159165) from the Gold Fine Shimmer Paper (#160428) and attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots. The small butterfly embellishments are the Brush Brass Butterflies (#158136).

The Eden dies and Fine Shimmer Paper are the retiring products.
