Cheers & Sips Bundle

Hi friends,

A 3rd card with another piece of the Kintsugi Inspirations Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165159) from the “One Sheet Wonder”.

I dry embossed the Basic White card (#166781) with the Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder (#165170) and matted with the Bubble Bath card (#161727), then attached to the Basic White base card. The DSP was attached to the card front.

I stamped the outline of the glasses from the Cheers & Sips stamp set (#165588) onto the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper (#165586) with VersaMark (#102283). I added the Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The glasses were cut with the Cheers & Sips dies (#165593). For the taller glass at the back is used another of the dies to add the pattern. I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add some glimmer to the 3 glasses.

“Cheers” and the 2 leaves were also Gold embossed. The Strawberry was stamped with Strawberry Slush ink (#165286) and coloured with Strawberry Slush Stampin’ Blends (#165290). The olive was stamped with Old Olive ink (#147090) and coloured with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends (#154892). The grapes were stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092) and coloured with Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends (#154877).

I cut the circle from Gold Foil (#132622) with a Spotlight On Nature die (#163580). I taped the circle and back glass to the card. The other glasses were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The leaves and fruit were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The Iridescent Faceted Gems (#163368) were added to the card.

The sentiment is from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378), stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink and cut with a Mixed Labels die (#164652).

I taped the yellow leaf to the card and I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the Cherry Cobbler card and sentiment. The Flower Accents (#165171) were attached to finish the card.

One Sheet Wonder

Hello stamping friends,

Have you heard of a One Sheet Wonder? This is when you use one sheet of Designer Paper, cut it into various sizes and use each piece on a different card. I am using the gold & white design from the Kintsugi Inspirations 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165159). Below are the sizes I cut for this page.

I have used one of the pieces cut 13.4cm x 9cm, and this was matted with Gorgeous Grape card (#147011), then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781)

The vases from the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set (#165161) were stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and Highland Heather ink (#147103). These were cut with the Inspiring Imperfections dies (#165166). This stamp set & die is also available in the Inspiring Imperfections Bundle (#165167), which gives you a 10% saving.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Year Of Flowers stamp set (#165367). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added the Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). I used the More Messages die (#165472) to cut the sentiment.

The gold rectangle is the middle of the smaller frame from the Sentimental Framing dies (#165476). I dry embossed this with the Joined Together Embossing Folder (#165170). The gold is from the Textured Metallic 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#163772).

I taped this gold and the Highland Heather vase to the card. The Gorgeous Grape vase & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I will show more cards from this One Sheet Wonder in the coming weeks.

Gallery Blooms dies

Hello,

A quick & easy card using a couple of dies, designer series paper and a sentiment.

I cut the Splendid Autumn 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164173) with the frame die from the Gallery Blooms dies (#165212). This die cuts the 3 pieces in one cut. I did cut a slither off the outside of the 2 middle pieces so that when I attached them to the card I could see a small amount of the Blackberry Bliss card (#133682) which I attached them to. I taped the outside & inside pieces to the card and used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the middle piece.

The card front was attached to Very Vanilla base card (#166785).

“Best Wishes” is from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set (#165491) and I stamped this with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092). I then cut it with a Mixed Labels die (#164652). This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to the sentiment.

Beautiful Motifs dies

Hi friends,

I have used the Beautiful Motifs dies (#165205) again on today’s card, for the design on the background.

I used this die on the 4 corners of the Very Vanilla card front (#166785). This die doesn't cut the whole piece out, so creates a lovely design.

I used dies from the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183) to cut the squares from the Berry Burst card (#163802), Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) and the Very Vanilla card with the sentiment. The sentiment is from the Year Of Flowers stamp set (#165367) and I stamped this with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092).

The flowers and leaves were cut with the Charming Day dies (#166135). I used Blackberry Bliss card (#133682 ) and Berry Burst card for the flowers and Mossy Meadow card (#133683) for the leaves.

All the squares/diamonds were taped to the card. The flowers were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the leaves.

The butterflies are from the Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136). Clear wink Of Stella (#141897) added some glimmer to the flowers.

Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder

Hi again friends,

How beautiful is this sunflower which was dry embossed with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder (#166145) onto the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622).

The gold foil was then matted with Basic Black card (#121688). I used a die from the Beautiful Motifs dies (#165205) to create the decorative motifs on each corner of the Very Vanilla card front (#166785). This die doesn't cut the full piece out of the card, but creates a beautiful design still attached to the card. This was attached to the Very Vanilla base card. The finished card size is 12.5x12.5cm.

“Thinking Of You” from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set (#165198) was heat embossed with VersaMark (#102283) and Black powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). A Beautiful Butterflies die (#164614) was used to cut the sentiment.
