Easy Scrapbooking

Hi again everyone,

Another quick & easy scrapbook page. I print my own photos so I can get different size photos allowing me to have more photos on a page and for variety.

For the background I used Very Vanilla 12”x12” card (#144239). I cut the Shaded Spruce card (#147006) for the serrated edging with the die from the Round We Go Dies (#1637290. This is the die to make the rosette. This was taped to the Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper (#164944), then attached to the background. I used the retired Stitched Greenery die on the DSP for the stitched leaves.

I matted some of the photos with Shaded Spruce card and taped them to the page. The leaves are cut with the Autumn Leaves dies (#162185) using Crumb Cake card (#121685) & Pecan Pie card (#161726). These were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The birds are from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds (#162743).

Biggest Wish

Hi friends,

I thought this would be a great masculine card using the Biggest Wish stamp set (#155052) for the words,

I stamped “Happy” with Crumb Cake ink (#147116), Pecan Pie ink (#161665) and Copper Clay ink (#161647) onto Very Vanilla card (#106550). “Birthday” was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083). The woodgrain (under the leaves) is from the Textured Timber stamp set (#163656) and stamped with Basic Beige ink (#164512). This is a new basic coloured ink.

The leaves are cut with the Autumn Leaves dies (#162185). I used Oxidised Copper Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162190) and Rose Gold Specialty Paper (#159139). The rows of “stitching” is also from the Autumn Leaves dies.

The leaves were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The card front was matted with Pretty Peacock card (#150886) then attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

The retiring product used on this card is the Biggest Wish stamp set.

Layered Florals Embossing Folder

Hello again friends,

Don’t you love the detail in this Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder (#162935).

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the embossing folder. I then coloured one flower with Stampin’ Blends. I was going to do more flowers but once I did this one decided I liked it with just the one coloured. I used Lemon Lolly (#161673), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Petal Pink (#154893) and Soft Sea Foam (#154902) Stampin’ Blends. I matted the card with Daffodil Delight card (#121680).

As I didn't have any Daffodil Delight Ribbon I coloured the Lemon Lolly from the Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack (#161635) using a dauber with Daffodil Delight ink (#161635). This was then wrapped around the card. The base card is also Basic White.

“Thinking Of You” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094), then cut with an Autumn Leaves die (#162185). The sentiment was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I added Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the flower and the embellishments are the Iridescent Foil Gems (#162842).

Autumn Leaves

Hello friends,

These leaves are cut with the Autumn Leaves dies (#162185).

I coloured some (retired) Shimmery White card with Pumpkin Pie ink (#147086), Daffodil Delight ink (#147094), Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) and Crumb Cake ink (#147116). I added the inks with a Water Painter (#151298) then sprayed it lightly with water to allow the colours to blend. Once this was dry I cut the leaves with the Autumn Leaves dies. The veins of the larger leaf was cut from Rose Gold Specialty Paper (#159139) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) and attached to the leaf.

Another Autumn Leaves die was used for the rows of dots on the Very Vanilla card front (#106550). I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the leaves to the card.

“Happy Birthday” was cut with a die from the Wanted To Say dies (#161594), also from the Adhesive Backed Rose Gold Specialty Paper.

I daubered the edges of the card front with Pumpkin Pie ink, then this was attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

Countryside Corner Dies

Hi my stamping friends,

I really do love dies whether they co-ordinate with a stamp set or are stand alone ones, so I have used a variety on this card.

The Base card and card front are Very Vanilla (#106550). The next 3 layers are cut with the Countryside Corners dies (#161471). The back layer is from the All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162178). The next layer is Pretty Peacock card (#150886) which I dry embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#162189). Then using 2 of the dies I cut a “frame” from the Oxidized Copper Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162190).

I stamped the flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (#161140) with VersaMark (#102283) and used Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) which I set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with the Irresistible Blooms die (#161149).

The Rose Gold Specialty Paper (#159139) was used for the die cut leaves. The dies are from the Cheerful Daisies dies (#161296) and the Timeless Arrangements dies (#161525).

I stamped the leaves are from the Autumn Leaves stamp set (#162179) with Lost Lagoon ink (#161678). These leaves and the other green leaves were cut with the Autumn Leaves dies (#162185). For the green leaves I used the Lost Lagoon from the Soft Shimmer Paper Combo Pack (#161750).

The flower was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves were all attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks

Hello friends,

Have you seen the new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks (#162331) from the Mini Catalogue? I have had fun playing with them for this card.

For the background I used the mask with all the small leaves. I added colour using Blending Brushes (#153611) with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094), Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052), Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) and Crumb Cake ink (#147116). Then without moving the mask I applied the Shimmery White Embossing Paste (#145645) then put this aside to dry (which doesn't take long).

I then used the mask with the 3 flowers and added Flirty Flamingo ink on the petals, then Berry Burst ink (#147143) towards the centre of the petals. Another mask was used with Melon Mambo ink (#147051) to add the colour to the centre of the flower. These masks are easy to match the images as there is a notch in the mask to line up each mask for perfect positioning.

I fussy cut these flowers and attached them to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The leaves are cut with Autumn Leaves dies (#162185) using the Granny Apple Green from the Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green Foil Sheets (#161953) and attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I added shimmer to the flowers using Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

The sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set (#161290) was stamped with Berry Burst ink and cut with a die from Autumn Leaves. This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The card front was matted with Flirty Flamingo card (#141421) then attached to the Basic White Base card (#159228).

All About Autumn

Hello again,

The All About Autumn 6”x6” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162178) is stunning with the copper foil designs and a beautiful range of autumn images. This is the DSP used on this card.

I attached the DSP to a piece of Very Vanilla card (#106550) and wrapped the Copper Clay Textured Ribbon (#161629) around the card front. This was attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550).

The leaves were cut with the Autumn Leaves dies (#162185). I used the Gold & Champagne from the More Dazzle 6”x6” Specialty Paper (#161749) and the iridescent from the Rose Gold 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#159139).

The sentiment from the Go To Greetings Stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Copper Clay ink (#161647). This was cut with Deckled Rectangles dies (#159173). Another Autumn Leaves die was used for the rows of “stitching”.

The sentiment and rose gold leaves were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The other leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). Copper Clay Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems (#161300) were added to finish the card.
