Layered Thoughts stamp set

Hello again,

Today’s card is a sneak peek of some new products in the upcoming Annual Catalogue which will be available from 6th May, so not long to wait.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Layered Thoughts stamp set (#165346). This was stamped on Basic Black card (#121688) using VersaMark (#102283) and adding White powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165679). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I then used Stampin’ Blends to add colour to the letters. The colours used are Blueberry Bushel (#161679), Cherry Cobbler (#154880), Shaded Spruce (#154903), Daffodil Delight (#14883) and Blackberry Bliss (#154877).

The card front is from the Celebration Expressions Memories & More Card Pack (#165307). I cut the small hearts from this card with a die from the retiring Adoring Hearts Dies (#162569). I taped a piece of Berry Burst card to the Basic White base card (#166781), then attached the card front. “Happy Birthday” was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I cut more small hearts with the die from Berry Burst card and attached them to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper

Hello & welcome,

Another beautiful pack of designer paper is the Splendid Autumn 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164173). One side has a range of scenery and the other side has a single colour.

I trimmed the top, bottom & side of the DSP to fit the card. I used one of these pieces and using the reverse side to attach to the card and then attached the sentiment on top.

The sentiment is from the Sweetly Scripted stamp set (#163600). I stamped this with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) - using the Stamparatus. I then re-inked with VersaMark (#102283) and added Clear Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165679) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The leaves and hearts are cut with the Adoring Hearts dies (#162569). I used Granny Apple Green card (#147014) for the leaves and Highland Heather (#147010) & Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) for the hearts. These cards were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) making these small pieces easy to attach to the card.

The card front was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).
