Cheerful Daisies

Hello friends,

I haven’t used the Cheerful Daisies stamp set (#161290) for a while so thought it was time to do so.

I stamped the outline of the daisies with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094). As this set is a 2 step stamping set, I stamped the inside with Lemon Lolly ink (#161666). I used Crumb Cake ink (#147116) to stamp the centre of the flowers. The flowers and the leaves were cut with the Cheerful Daisies dies (#161296). I used Granny Apple Green card (#147014) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) for the leaves.

I attached a piece of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393) to the Daffodil Delight card (#121680). I cut a piece of Basic White card (#159228) and Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) with a die from the Around the Bend dies (#160649) to create the curve. I dry embossed the Basic White card with one of the Basics Embossing Folders (#161598). These were attached to the Daffodil Delight card.

The sentiment is also from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set, stamped with Daffodil Delight ink and cut with a Cheerful Daisies die.

The daisies and sentiment were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used on the flowers for some glimmer. The Opal Rounds Assortment (#163298) were added to the card. I used small dots of the Pearlised Enamel Effects (#156310) in the centre of the daisies.

Around The Bend dies

Hello again friends,

Todays card is variation of the last card I posted using the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack (#160428) and using a variety of dies for the leaves.

I cut the Gold from the Fine Shimmer pack using an Around The Bend die (#160649), then punched the top left corner with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878). This was attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550). The shimmery green leaves and the shimmery purple flowers & square are also from the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack. For the other leaves I used the Brushed Metallic cardstock (#153524).

The dies for the leaves and flowers are from the Around The Bend dies, Dainty Delight dies (#160674), Framed Florets dies (#160623 and Queen Bee dies (#160484).

The stamped flower is from the Petal Park stamp set (#160571). This was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I added some Gorgeous Grape from the Assortment 2 Watercolor Pencils (#149014). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to spread some colour toward the tips of the petals. This was punched with the Petal Park Builder Punch (#160576).

All the card for the leaves had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) attached to the back before cutting, to make them easy to attach to the card. The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The layers of the mauve & gold flowers were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The sentiment is from the Framed Florets stamp set (#161815) and stamped with Highland Heather ink (#147103). This and the mauve card were cut with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183).

Design A Daydream Designer Series Paper

HI again,

I needed a card for a cyclist so this DSP with the bikes from the Design A Daydream 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#159161) is perfect. This pack of DSP is a Host product and is great value with 48 sheets with a great range of designs and colours.

I cut the scalloped edge of the DSP and the Coastal Cabana card (#131302) with a die from the Around The Bend Dies (#160649). The Pool Party card (#124391) was cut with a die from the Artisan Additions (#159172).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) and stamped with Pool Party ink (#147107). I used the Stitched With Whimsy Dies (#155314) for the stitching around the sentiment and on the DSP. The sentiment was matted with Coastal Cabana card. The corners were punched with the Detailed Trio Punch.

The DSP was matted with the Coastal Cabana scallops, then attached to the Pool Party card front. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Glossy Dots Assortment embellishments (#158827) were added to the card.

Two-Tone Flora

Hi & Welcome,

I hope you are all having a great weekend and getting time to craft.

I have used a variety of products on todays card with the flowers from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set (#160844). This is a Two-step stamp set but I have decided just to stamp the “line” image and not stamp the second image on top to colour the background of the flower.

I stamped 3 flowers with VersaMark (#102283) onto Basic White card (#159228) and added the Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The flowers were then cut with the co-ordinating die from the Two-Tone Flora Dies (#159181). I then daubered the edges of the flowers with Balmy Blue ink (#147105) which gives some depth to the flower.

The Basic White card front was cut with one of the Split Card Textures Dies (#159163) then matted with Balmy Blue card (#147007).

The sentiment is from the (retired) Special Moments stamp set and stamped with Balmy Blue ink. I used a die from the Waves Dies (#158840) to cut the sentiment. The ribbon (also retired) was threaded through the label and wrapped around the card front. I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) under the sentiment.The card front was then attached to the Basic White base card.

The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The leaves are cut from the Silver from the Silver Foil Specialty Pack (#156457) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). The dies for the leaves are from Brushed Bouquet Dies (#160473), the Irresistible Blooms Dies (#161149) and the Around The Bend Dies (#160649).

The embellishments are from another retired product - Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels.

Two-Tone Flora

Hello friends,

I like to use subtle colours for Sympathy cards which I have done on this card.

The flowers from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set (#160844) have been stamped with Pale Papaya ink (#155670). This is a Two Step stamp, so I stamped the finer lines first, then stamped the whole flower. To get the lighter colour for the whole flower I inked the stamp, stamped off, then stamped the flower. I find it easier to stamp the darker colour first so it’s easier to line up the second image. These flowers were cut with a Two-Tone Flora die (#159181).

I adhered Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to the back of the Basic White card (#159228) before cutting the card front with another die from the same set. This was attached to the Basic White base card.

Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) was used for the leaves and these were cut with dies from the Around The Bend dies (#160649). These were also backed with

Adhesive Sheet.

I attached the retired Soft Sea Foam ribbon to the card then attached the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683). Then the leaves were adhered to the card.

“Heartfelt Sympathy” is from the Seaside Bay stamp set (#160436) and stamped with Pale Papaya ink. A die from the Pretty Pillowbox (#156321) was used to cut the sentiment and this was also attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Fine Sparkle Adhesive Backed Gems (now retired) were added to the card, and I used the White Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics (#156310) on the stamins of the flowers.

Around The Bend

The base card is Very Vanilla (#106550). The Soft Succulent paper was cut with a die from the Around The Bend Dies (#160649) and attached to the base card. The flowers & leaves were also cut with the Around The Bend dies. With 3 of the flowers I added extra colour using a Dauber (#133773) with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099). The 2 lighter coloured flowers were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the 3 darker ones were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The gold leaves were also attached with Mini Glue Dots. The flower centres were glued with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

“Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings Stamp set (#158763) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was stamped on the Pearlescent Specialty Paper (#154291). The sentiment and Gold paper were cut with Stitched Rectangles Dies (#151820), then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The embellishments are the Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls (#160449).
