Decorative Masks

Hi stamping friends,

I have used 2 of the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks (#159178) for the background on todays card. These 2 masks work together or they can be used individually.

Firstly I used Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) and a Blending Brush (#153611) with the first mask then lined up the second mask and used Old Olive ink (#147090). Next time I will use the darker ink first as it will be easier to line up the images.

I used a piece of the Vellum Basics Specialty Designer Series Paper (#160839) on top of the card front as I only wanted a subtle look.

I cut a label from the Designer Tags dies (#159165) from Basic White card (#159228) then dry embossed this with the Timber Embossing Folder (#156406). I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283), (which will be available in the next Mini Catalogue from 6th September), with Old Olive ink. This was taped to the label.

The leaves were cut with a Dainty Delight die (#160674), using Pecan Pie card (#161726) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) and attached to the card.

The corners of the card front were punched with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878), then this was attached to the Pecan Pie card. The base card is Basic White.

Translucent Florals

Hello stamping friends,

I have stamped the flowers & leaves from the Translucent Florals stamp set (#162243) onto Vellum (#106584). This stamp set & dies will be available from 6th September in the upcoming Mini catalogue.

The inks used are Berry Burst (#147143), Orchid Oasis (#159214) and Garden Green (#147089). When stamping on the vellum, the ink takes a bit longer to dry. You can use the Heat Tool (#129056) to ensure the ink is dry. The flowers & leaves were cut with the Translucent Florals Dies (#162252). I also cut a piece of the Orchid Oasis card (#159265) and Berry Burst card (#144249) with the flower die and attached the vellum flowers on top but slightly offset. These were attached together with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

I dry embossed the lower part of the Basic White card (#159228) with one of the Geometric Patterns Embossing Folder (#161599). Using a Palette Knife (#142808) and an Artistic Mix Decorative Mask (#159178) I applied the Shimmery White Embossing Paste (#145645) to the top part of the White card. This was matted with the Orchid Oasis card (#159265). The White Glittered Organdy Ribbon (#156408) was wrapped around the cardfront then this was attached to the Basic White base card.

The Orchid Oasis flower and the leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots and the Berry Burst flower with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The sentiment is from the Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) and stamped with Orchid Oasis ink. A Nested Essentials die (#161597) was used to cut the sentiment. The Flat adhesive-Backed Pearls (#160449) were added to the card.

Artistic Dies

Hello friends,

This beautiful floral image is cut with an Artistic Die (#155371) and using the Soft Shimmer Paper Combo Pack (#161750).

I coloured the Basic White card front (#159228) using Fresh Freesia ink (#155611), a Blending Brush (#153611) and an Artistic Mix Decorative Mask (#159178). I daubered the edges with Berry Burst ink (#147143) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

I cut the Berry Burst Paper from the Soft Shimmer Paper Combo pack. This was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) and attached to the card front. I then cut the Bubble Bath from the same paper pack and using the same die and used the “inside pieces” of the flower and placed these into the flower.

“Congrats” is from the Phrases For All stamp set (#161403). I stamped this with Berry Burst ink, then re-stamped it with VersaMark (#102283) and added Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I then cut this with a Labels Aglow die (#159551). This die is much longer than the sentiment so I cut the sentiment a second time to cut the label shorter. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Berry Burst Gems from the Tinsel Gems Four-Pack (#161623) were added to the card.

Quiet Meadow

Hi friends,

I stamped these flowers from the Quiet Meadow stamp set (#155082) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708).

Before stamping the flower, I added some colour to the Basic White card (#159228). I used Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102), a Blending Brush (#153611) and an Artistic Mix Decorative Mask (#159178). After stamping the flower I coloured it with Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends (#154884) and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885).

This Basic White card, the Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper (#161139) and Flirty Flamingo card (#141421) were all cut with the Deckled Rectangles Dies (#159173) and layered onto the Basic White base card.

“Happy Birthday” was cut with the Wanted To Say Dies (#161594) using Flirty Flamingo card & Basic White card. The Basic White card was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) making it easy to attach it to the Flirty Flamingo card.

I added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the flowers & white Happy Birthday. The Brush Brass Butterflies (#158136) were added to the card.

The 3 flowers and leaves all cut out with one die from the Cheerful Daisies Dies (#161296). I cut one from Lemon Lolly card (#161729) and the other from Basic White card (#159228). I stamped each flower with the matching images from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set (#161290) on the white cut out flowers with Lemon Lolly ink (#161666). The flower centres were coloured with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) using a Sponge Dauber (#133773) and I added Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) lightly to the leaves.

I used a Blending Brush (#153611) with Lemon Lolly ink and an Artistic Mix Decorative Mask (#159178) on a piece of Basic White card for a very subtle background. This was then cut with a Darling Details Die (#161370). This was attached to the Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) which I dry embossed with one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders (161598). The base card is Basic White.

I attached the 2 layers of flowers with Mini Glue Dots (#103683), offsetting the flowers slightly. The sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Daffodil Delight ink, then cut with a die from the Cracker & Treat Box dies (#159182). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach this to the card.
