Metallic Textures Rub-Ons

Hello friends,

The Metallic Textures Rub-Ons (#165270) have a great range of designs in both gold & silver. These are so easy to apply and look fantastic on your projects.

I used the gold rub-ons for the “woodgrain” and the row of dots along the bottom of the card front. To use these, cut the design from the sheet, peel away the backing sheet. Then place the silver/adhesive side onto the paper, rub with your finger until the image transfers to the paper. Peel away the sheet to reveal the image. I cut the Basic White card (#166781) with the “woodgrain” with a Textured Notes die (#165555).

The card front was dry embossed with the (retired) Timber Embossing Folder and matted with Real Red card (#106578) then attached to the Basic White base card.

The Hibiscus from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set (#164877) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084), and using the stamping off method for the lighter colour. This was the cut & embossed with the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder (#164879). The leaves were also cut with the dies (included in the hybrid embossing folder), using Garden Green card (#108605).

The sentiment is from the More Messages stamp set (#165471), stamped with Real Red ink and cut with the More Messages die (#165472).

The “woodgrain” was taped to the card front. The sentiment & hibiscus were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the leaves.

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was added to the flower. The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to finish the card.

Party Banners Dies

Hello again,

I have used the Party Banners Dies (#165264) on this scrapbook page. There are 14 different sized banner dies so would be suitable for making large banners, scrapbook pages or cards, making them very versatile. The largest die is 17.8cm x 13.7cm (7”x5-3/8”) and the smallest 4.4cm x 3.2cm (5–11/8” x 1-1/4”).

I cut the photos as well as the Night Of Navy card (#106577) and Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) with the dies. These were attached to the Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper (#164638).

The flowers & leaves are from the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape (#165269). (I seemed to be a bit obsessed with this tape). I attached the tape to the Basic White card (#166781) and cut the images with the Extraordinary Flora Die (#165244). These were then added to the page with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

I used the Mini Alphabet dies (#162934) to cut the letters from Night Of Navy card. These were glued to the page with the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

Another product I love is the new Metallic Textures Rub-Ons (#165270). These are the silver leaves on the page. These may be easily missed in the catalogue so check them out on Page 124. These rub ons are so easy to use. Just cut out one of the many images, remove the backing, place the silver/adhesive side on the paper and rub with your finger until the image transfers to the paper. Remove the top layer to reveal the beautiful image. This pack contains both gold & silver rub-ons.

This Washi Tape is 8.3cm wide (3-1/4”) with florals that can be cut out with the Extraordinary die (#165244). The patterns on the tape alternate between pink & purple. This tape is so versatile.

Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack

Hello again,

Another quick & easy cards today using 2 Ephemera Packs.

The flower is from the Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack (#163762). I coloured this with Clear Wink Of Stella 141897). I mentioned a few weeks ago ago that I used 2 almost empty Wink Of Stellas and added some Isocol to them, then added a drop of Granny Apple Green Ink refill (#147163) to one and Daffodil Delight Ink Refill (#119672) to the other. So I used these to add very subtle colour to the flower & leaves and this applies the glimmer at the same time.

“Congratulations” is from the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (#164862).

The Crushed Curry card (#131288) was dry embossed with the Birch Wood Embossing Folder (#164069) before matting with Basic Black card (#121688). This was then attached to the Basic White Base card (#166781).

The sentiment and flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).
