Garden Poetry Suite Collection

 Hi again everyone,

From today a large range of new products are available from the Online Exclusives including the Garden Poetry Suite Collection (#167127) which I have used for this lovely bright card.

The flowers, leaves and sentiment are all from the Paradise Garden stamp set (#167114). These were stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088), Azure Afternoon ink (#161663), Berry Burst ink (#147143) and Coastal Cabana (#147097).

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Paradise Garden Embossing Folder (#167120). This is a hybrid embossing folder which means a die fits into the folder and cuts & embosses at the same time. It can also be used just as an embossing folder as I have used here.

The DSP is from the Garden Poetry Designer Series Paper (#167113) and attached to the card front. The card front was matted with Blueberry Bushel card (#146991) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment, flowers leaves and the blue foil from the Garden Textures Specialty Foil Sheets (#167125) are all cut with the Paradise Garden dies (#167120). The blue foil and some of the flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) for the leaves and the Azure Afternoon flowers.

The retired Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots were added to the card.

Fragrant Layers Dies

 Hi & welcome again,

I like to try to use products in more than one way, so on today’s card I have used a die from the Fragrant Layers dies (#167154) for the background. This die would usually be used for sentiments. Also, this die cuts the outside “frame” and the inside solid piece with the one die.

Using this die I cut several pieces from Basic White card (#166781), then I used the Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper (#164607) for the inside pieces. I now have leftover white card from the inside & the DSP from the outside to use on another project. I glued these to the Basic White card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). I attached the piece with “Happy Birthday” with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). “Happy Birthday” is from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756) and stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with the Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The flowers and leaves were also cut with the dies from the Fragrant Layers dies. The card used for these are Daffodil Delight (#121680), Balmy Blue (#147007), Fresh Freesia (#155614), Lemon Lime Twist (#144250) and Granny Apple Green (#147014). The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the leaves with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The gold sequins are from the retired Traditional Sparkling Sequins.

 Welcome,

A pretty card using the gorgeous Splash Of Sparkles Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167200). This pack has gold or silver foil on each of the designs along with a mix of beautiful colours.

I cut 5 pieces of the DSP - 2cm x 8.5cm and attached these to the Basic White card (#166781). This was matted with the Gold from the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772). If you are wanting to save some of this specialty paper, cut a piece from the middle to use on another project, leaving a border for the matting.

“Thinking Of You” is from the Friendly Foliage stamp set (#167021). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Powder from the Metallic Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678).

This was taped to the card.

The flowers are from the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape (#165269) which was adhered to a piece of Basic White card, then cut with the co-ordinating Extraordinary Flora die (#165244). These were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Nature’s Symphony Dies

 HI again friends,

I am trying to increase my supply of masculine cards, so here is one using the Nature’s Symphony dies (#166925).

For the card front I used 3 of the designs from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393) and attached them to the Tungsten Paper from the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772). This was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The leaf was cut with a die from the Nature’s Symphony dies using Mossy Meadow card (#133683) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), making it very easy to attach to the card.

The “wood grain” piece was also cut with a Nature’s Symphony dies using from the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper. This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensioanls (#104430).

“Happy Birthday” from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used Silver powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). The Heat Tool (#129056) was used to set the powder. A die from Fragrant Layers (#167154) was used to cut the sentiment.

The Natural Matte Dots (#167510) were added to the card.

Scalloped Wishes dies

 Hi friends,

A very elegant Sympathy card using some new products which will be available early March from the Online Exclusives.

The sentiment is from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) and I stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Silver powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I cut this and the Lunar Lustre Specialty Paper (#167199) with a die from the Scalloped Wishes dies. As this die cuts the oval and the scalloped frame with the one die, you need to cut the white card & silver card separately. I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) over the oval & the frame to attach the pieces together.

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder (#167097). I matted this with the Lunar Lustre Specialty Paper. I cut 6 different leaves with the Delicate Whispers dies (#167505) using Basic White card backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) and these were attached to the card front.

The framed sentiment was attached to the card and the Moody Palette Glossy Dots (#167180) were added.

Friendly Foliage Bundle

 Hello friends,

I thought I would start the day with cleaning my craft table (it always needs tidying), but didn't get far when I came across some left over products from previous projects and thought they would make a lovely card, so here is the card. By the way, the table still isn't tidied, but I was happy with the card.

I stamped the leafy image from the Friendly Foliage stamp set (#167021) with VersaMark (#102283) onto Very Vanilla card (#166785). I added the Copper powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with dies from the Friendly Foliage dies (#167023).

The Crumb Cake card (#121685) was cut with a Textured Notes die (#165555). I attached the leafy image to this with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The Very Vanilla card front was dry embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing folder (#161600), then matted it with Coastal Cabana card (#131302) and attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

The flower is from the stamp set from the 2026 Virtual Card Making Retreat (#170026). This was fussy cut from the larger image. This was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and coloured with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675) and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883). A Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430) was used to attach the flower to the card. The leaves were cut with a die from the Fragrant Layers dies (#167154) using the Pastel Shimmer Specialty Paper (#167198). These were attached with Mini Glue Dots.

“It’s Your Day” is from the Fragrant Layers stamp set (#167150) and this was also heat embossed with Copper powder. A Textured Notes die was used to cut the sentiment. A die from the Fragrant Layers dies was used to cut the Pastel Shimmer Specialty Paper for the banner behind the sentiment. Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to attach this to the card.

The Textured Notes dies are retiring but are still available at a reduced price (in Australia), and while stocks last.

The card front is from the Mixed Up Patterns Designer Series Paper (#166992) and I matted this with Mossy Meadow card (#133683) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#166781). I attached the strip of the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper (#166912) to the card front.

Friendly Foliage Bundle

 Hi again,

I am loving the variety of all the leafy stamps and dies from Stampin’ Up! Here I have used the Friendly Foliage Bundle (#167308).

I stamped the leaves from the Friendly Foliage stamp set (#167021) using VersaMark (#102283) and added the Copper powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056) before cutting it with the dies from the Friendly Foliage dies (#167023).

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder (#167097), then matted with the retired Rose Gold Specialty Paper, then attached to the Basic White base card.

The DSP on the left side of the card is from the Delicate Designs Specialty Paper (#167509). I embossed another piece of Basic White card with the Beautiful Patterns Embossing Folder, then I wiped the Crumb Cake ink pad (#166787) lightly over the embossed card, picking up the colour on the embossed areas.

I cut the Delicate Dreams Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167498) with a retired Textured Notes die and attached the stamped leaves to this with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The detailed die cut leaves were cut with the Friendly Foliage dies using the Earthen Tones Metallic Specialty Paper (#165901). This was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

“Wishing You All The Best” is from the Friendly Foliage stamp set and this was also heat embossed with Copper and cut with a Textured Notes die.

The “embellishments” in the top corner are the inside pieces from the die cut leaves.

Greenery Lane Bundle

 Hi again friends,

I have used the same template on this card as I did on the card on 8th January. For that one I used the Fragrant Layers stamp set for the flowers and today I have used the Greenery Lane Bundle (#166877) for all the leaves for a more masculine card. However it would also be suitable for a female card.

For the card front, and the three rectangular pieces cut with the Nested Essentials dies (#161597),  I have used the Pastel Shimmer Specialty paper (#167198). I dry embossed the card front with the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder 164069) and matted it with the Basic Black card (#121688), then attached it to the Basic White base card (#166781). I taped the 3 rectangles to the card front.

The leaves from the Greenery Lane stamp set (#166870) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends used to colour the leaves are Lost Lagoon (#161680), Pool Party (#154894), Summer Splash (#163826) and Daffodil Delight (#154883).

The leaves were cut with the Greenery Lane dies (#166876) and they were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The sentiment from the (retired) So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). I daubered the edges with Pool Party ink (#147107).  Stampin’ Dimensionals (#10430) were used to attach this to the card. Antique Pearls (#164679) were added to finish the card.

Swirled Designs Bundle

 Hi everyone,

A great masculine card using the Swirled Designs Bundle (#167311).

I stamped the images from the Swirled Designs stamp set (#167311) onto Very Vanilla card (#166785) using Pecan Pie ink (#161665), Crumb Cake ink (#147116), Basic Beige ink (#163806) and Peach Pie ink (#163810). I then dry embossed the card with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (#161600). Using a Blending Brush (#153611) with Pecan Pie ink, I added colour to the outside area of the card. This card was then matted with Pecan Pie card (#161726).

I cut 3 “diamonds” with a die from the Swirled Designs dies (#167032) using Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper (#165901) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). These were attached to the card front.

“Happy Birthday: from the 2026 Virtual Card Making Retreat stamp set was stamped with Pecan Pie ink. I used a die from the Paradise Garden Hybrid dies (#167120) to cut the sentiment. These will be available from the Online Exclusives in March. The ends of this banner had straight edges so I hand cut the “V” on each end.

The embellishments from the Natural Matte Dots (#167510) were coloured with a Dark Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blend (#161674).

Forever Florals

 Hi friends,

Today I have used some of the leftovers from the 2026 Virtual Card Making Retreat(#170023). This is still available to purchase with all the demonstrations recorded of the cards made.

The Designer Series Paper with the flowers is black line art on a white background so this was coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I used Cloud Cover (#165287) for the background, Old Olive (#154892) for the leaves, Calypso Coral (#154881), Darling Duckling (#165288) and Bubble Bath (#161675) on the flowers. I then used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the flowers to add some glimmer.

The 2 pieces of DSP were matted with Secret Sea card (#165296) and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The labels were cut with the Forever Floral dies (#167443) using Two-Tone Calypso Coral card. “Thinking Of You” is from the Forever Florals stamp set (#167440) and stamped with Secret Sea ink (#165285).

The leaves were also stamped with Secret Sea ink onto the pre-cuts from the class, and coloured with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.

The sentiment was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The embellishments added to the card are the Moody Palette Glossy Dots (#167180)

Lifetime Of Love

 Hello everyone,

While I had the Beautifully Celebrated dies (#166974) out from yesterday’s card I thought I would use them again. I love the detailed corners and the fancy border dies in this set.

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with (my favourite) Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder (#167097), then double matted with Basic Black card (#121688) and Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). This was then attached to the Basic White base card.

The Gold Foil was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting with the die for the corners. I like to use adhesive sheet with any detailed dies making it super easy to attach them to the card.

I stamped the floral image from the Lifetime Of Love stamp set (#162574) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I stamped a second image using the masking technique. This allows you to stamp another image without it stamping over the first image. For the mask, I stamped the image on a post it note and cut it out then placed it over the stamped image on the card, then stamped onto the card and removed the mask.

The Stampin’ Blends used to colour the flowers & leaves are Poppy Parade (#154958), Azure Afternoon (#161672), Peach Pie (#163827), Petunia Pop (#163828), Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Daffodil Delight (#154883) and Granny Apple Green (#154885).

The Beautifully Celebrated dies were used to cut the stamped image and Gold foil. These were taped together and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Celebrate” from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and added to the card with a Stampin’ Dimensional and Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to the flower centres.
