Tile Garden Dies

 Hello friends,

I have used the Tile Garden dies (#168573) for the square cut outs on today’s card. There are 12 different dies in a variety of sizes with 3 different designs around the edges. These also match with the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580).

There will be a new batch of Online Exclusives available in November, including the Birthday Shoutout stamp set (#169840) which has a range of sentiments for birthdays and other celebrations. I stamped the sentiment from this set with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) on Basic White card (#166781).

The card front is from the Mosaic Garden Designer Series Paper (#168566) and matted with Pretty Peacock card (#150886), then attached to the Basic White base card.

The Pretty Peacock card and Crisp Cantaloupe card (#167694) were cut with the dies and taped to the card. The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are from the Array Of Dots (#167559).

Silver Opal Stampin’ Hot Foil

 Hello again friends,

The Silver Opal Stampin’ Hot Foil Roll (#170554) has been used for this card and gives a lovely colour to the foil depending on the light.

I used the Reverse Hot Foil Die (#170043) with the Silver Opal Foil on Basic White card (#166781) for a plain background, then I used the Floral Spray Embossing Folder (#167946) to dry embossed the card. This was matted with Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) and attached to the Basic White base card.

“Congratulations” from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and punched with the Three Banner punch (#167050). I cut the Gorgeous Grape banner under the sentiment with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). The sentiment was attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I coloured the retired Frosted Iridescent Dots with Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends (#154887) before attaching them to the card.

Noel Greetings Paper Pumpkin Kit

 Hello again & welcome,

Today I have made a variation with the Noel Greetings Paper Pumpkin Kit which is the kit for October.

The only thing not included in the kit which I have used is the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) which I added to the stamped trees to add some shimmer.

The ink for all the stamping is Mossy Meadow. The Stampin’ Spots now included are the new Premium Stampin’ Spots and are a little bigger than the original spots and with the new felt pads.

I used Tape and Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the elements to the card.

These kits are all inclusive, so great for a quick & easy card and also convenient to take on holidays.

Welcome Noel

 Hello again my friends,

I love these cute little houses from the Welcome Noel dies (#168464).

The houses were cut from Soft Sea Foam card (#147012), Barely Blush card (#167690) and Basic Beige card (#164512). These were glued with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755) to the Basic White card (#166781) which was cut with the outline dies from the same set.

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Sunray Embossing Folder (#169834) - (available in November from the Online Exclusives). Th DSP along the bottom of the card is Neutral Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168448).

The trees from the Welcome Noel stamp set (#168462) were stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) and cut with the Welcome Noel dies. I added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the trees.

The sentiment is from the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies (#170592) and I used the Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170066). The co-ordinating cutting die was used to cut the sentiement. 

I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to add the trees, houses and sentiment to the card. The base card is Basic White.

Graceful Evergreen Deer stamp set

 Welcome again everyone,

White and gold always looks elegant and on this card I have heat embossed the tree with Gold Embossing Powder.

The tree is from the Graceful Evergreen Deer stamp set (#170565) and I stamped it with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I used Lost Lagoon ink (#161678) under the tree. This was matted with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622).

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Timeless Herringbone Embossing Folder (#169736). This is a sneak peek of this folder which will be available in November in the Online Exclusives. The card front was also matted with Gold Foil Sheet, and attached to the Basic White base card.

“Merry Christmas” is from a retired stamp set and stamped with Lost Lagoon ink. A retired Textured Notes die cut the sentiment.

I used a die from the Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183) to cut the banner under the sentiment. I cut this in half and attached it to be able to see more of the banner on each end. The sentiment & tree were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).
