A Wonderful Match Designer Series Paper

 Hello Friends,

My grand daughter loves playing soccer so I knew that the A Wonderful Match Designer Series Paper (#167515) was going to be perfect for her birthday card.

This paper pack includes full page football/soccer themed paper as well as smaller images with a variety of images on a page.

The shirt, ball and shoes are one of the smaller images in black & white, so great to colour as you want. I used Azure Afternoon Stampin’ Blends (#161672) to colour the shirt and Real Red Stampin’ Blends (#154899) on the shoes. For the ball I used the Golden Glow Shimmer Brush (#167662). These new shimmer brushes, which are available in the 5 new In-Colors, colour and add shimmer at the same time. I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the shirt & shoes. I fussy cut this image.

I added the DSP to the Basic White base card (#166781). I dry embossed the Real Red card (#106578) with a retired Painted Texture embossing folder and attached this to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The shirt image was taped to the card.

“Happiest Birthday Wishes” from the Phrases & Frames stamp set (#167581) was stamped with Azure Afternoon ink (#161663) then cut with a retired Textured Notes die. This was attached to the card with a Stampin’ Dimensional and tape.

Moonlit Flora Suite Collection

 Hi stamping friends,

I have used the Moonlit Flora Suite Collection (#167749) for today’s card.

I cut 3 pieces of the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper (#167737) using a die from the Paradise Garden dies (#167120). These were attached to a piece of Vellum Specialty Paper (#167099), then cut with a square Stylish Shapes Die (#159183).

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#167737) with the Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder (#167744) and this was matted with Peaceful Pine card (#167692) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The square die cut piece was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The ferns are cut with the Fern & Flora dies (#168991) from Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) and Peaceful Pine card. The dragonflies are cut from Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper (#165901) using the Scalloped Wishes dies (#167452). I attached the body to the wings of the dragonfly using Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Happiest Birthday Wishes” is from the Phrases & Frames stamp set (#167581) and I stamped this with Peaceful Pine ink (#167679). A die from the Fern & flora dies was used to cut the sentiment.

The card for the ferns were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) which makes it easy to attach fine die cuts to the card. The top left dragonfly was attached with Mini Glue Dots and I used a Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the other dragonfly. The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Splash Of Sparkles Specialty Designer Series Paper

 Hi again,

Today I have highlighted the Splashes Of Sparkles Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167200).

I punched the DSP with the Rounded Rectangle Punch (#167880). The sentiment is from the Exciting Times stamp set (#167875). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added the Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was also punched with the Rounded Rectangle punch.

I attached the sentiment and the DSP to Gold Foil Sheet (#132622).This piece of Gold foil was cut 9cmx13.4cm. After attaching the DSP, I cut off the pieces of DSP level with the edges of the gold. I then attached this to another piece of gold foil (9.5cmx13.9cm). I found this easier to get the edges lined up, but it looks like one piece of gold foil. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The butterflies from the All Aflutter stamp set (#167564) were also Gold heat embossed. These were punched with the All Aflutter punch (#167569). The butterflies were coloured with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends (#155518), Timid Tiger Stampin’ Blends (#165291), Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends (#161673). The butterflies were then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The Flower Accents #165171) were added to the sentiment.

Kits are fantastic for quick & easy cards like this one from the Beautiful Blues Kit (#165658). There are a large variety of kits available from Stampin’ Up! which are perfect for new crafters, busy crafters or those who just want a quick & easy card.

The card kits usually have all the supplies for 9 cards with 3 of each of 3 designs and also includes the card base, stamp set, ink spot, envelopes, pre-cut pieces, adhesives, embellishments and instructions. You can make the kits as per the instructions or change it up for your own design which is what I have done on this card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Greenery Lane stamp set and (#166870) with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138). This was then cut with one of the Phrases & Frames die (#167586). This is an Impressions die, so I then used the Impressions Plate (#167767) which gives a deeper embossed image to the frame. I daubered the edges of the sentiment with Blueberry Bushel ink. The sentiment & frame were attached to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The pre-cut floral piece was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The embellishments are from the retired Tinsel Gems. I added some glimmer to the flowers with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

The Phrases & Frames Bundle (#167587) consists of the Phrases & Frames stamp set (#167581) and Phrases & Frames Impressions dies (#167586). For these impressions dies, you cut your card as usual with the die, then using an Impressions Plate (#167767), run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine again to get a deeper embossed impression.

The 2 sentiments are from the Phrases & Frames stamp set and stamped with the Hydrangea Hue ink (#167677). These were cut with the Phrases & Frames dies, just using the inside part of the frames.

Fern & Flora Bundle

 Hi again,

Another card today using the Fern & Flora Bundle (#167745). I am finding this set will be great for both male & female cards.

The large fern leaf from the Fern & Flora stamp set (#167739) was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111) onto Old Olive card (#106576). I stamped the small floral image with Crushed Curry ink (#147087) onto Basic White card (#166781). The Fern & Flora Dies (#168991) were used to cut the 2 stamped images and the “curly” leaf from Pecan Pie card (#161726) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

“Happiest Birthday Wishes” from the Notes Of Spring stamp set (#167979) was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink & cut with a Fern & Flora die.

The circle was cut from a piece of Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393) using a Spotlight On Nature die (#163580).

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder (#168844) then matted with Old Olive card. I wrapped the retired Gold Open Weave ribbon around the matted card and attached it to the Basic White base card.

The circle was taped to the card, the adhesive backed Pecan Pie leaves were attached and the stamped leaves and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Scenic Coast Specialty Designer Series Paper

 Hello everyone,

The stunning Scenic Coast 6”x6” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167773) features vivid colours with Iridescent Pearl on the coastal sunset designs. I made a larger card - 15x15cm - as I didn't want to cut off too much of the beautiful DSP.

The DSP was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781). I cut a circle from the Spotlight On Nature Dies (#163580) from Balmy Blue card (#147007). I then cut the lighthouse scene using a Sunset Coast die (#167780). This was glued to the DSP with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

“Best Wishes” was cut with the Words & Wishes dies (#167894). I cut these with Crushed Curry card (#131288) and Blueberry Bushel card (#146991). Both cards were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). I attached the Crushed Curry words then offset slightly with the Blueberry Bushel words to create a “shadow” effect.

The shells & starfish were cut with another die from the Sunset Coast dies and I used Crumb Cake card (#121685). These were also glued to the card. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was added to the lighthouse, shells & starfish.

Paper Pumpkin Alternative

 Hi again friends,

I have made a Paper Pumpkin alternate card today, pairing it with the Relaxing Waterside bundle (#167928), which work well together for a masculine card.

I cut one of the card bases from the April Paper Pumpkin and matted it with Pretty Peacock card (#150886) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I cut Pretty Peacock card with one of the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580) and the scene from the Paper Pumpkin was attached to this.

The chair from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set (#167922) was stamped with Pecan Pie ink (#161665) and I coloured it with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#154882). The grass from the same set was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083), as was the sentiment which is from the Paper Pumpkin stamp set.

The Relaxing Waterside dies (#167927) were used to cut the chair and grass. A Spotlight On Nature dies was used to cut the sentiment.

The Pretty Peacock circle, chair, sentiment and grass were all attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) & Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add some glimmer to the chair.

With the Paper Pumpkin kits you can make all the cards as shown in the kit or you can make your own designs. It’s fun whichever way you choose.
