Virtual Card Making Retreat stamp set

 Hi everyone,

This floral image is from one of the stamp sets from the Virtual Card Making Retreat (#170026). I had some leftover die cut pieces for this image, so stamped the image on that.

This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). The Heat Tool (#129056) was used to set the powder.

The flowers were coloured with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675), Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends (#155518) and Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends (#154887). For the leaves I used Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894) and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends (#163826). Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) was used in the centre of the flowers.

I used Summer Splash card (#163798) for the green leaves and gold from the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (3163772) for the smaller leaves. For the green die cut leaves, I cut this in half so I could tuck it under the floral image in 2 places.

I dry embossed the Highland Heather card front (#147010) with the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder (#167179). The Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper (#164607) was taped to the card front and this was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The stamped flowers were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The leaves were attached with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

The embellishments are the Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) and Two-Tone Sparkle Gems (#164633). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the flowers.

Fragrant Layers Dies

 Hi & welcome again,

I like to try to use products in more than one way, so on today’s card I have used a die from the Fragrant Layers dies (#167154) for the background. This die would usually be used for sentiments. Also, this die cuts the outside “frame” and the inside solid piece with the one die.

Using this die I cut several pieces from Basic White card (#166781), then I used the Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper (#164607) for the inside pieces. I now have leftover white card from the inside & the DSP from the outside to use on another project. I glued these to the Basic White card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). I attached the piece with “Happy Birthday” with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). “Happy Birthday” is from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756) and stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with the Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The flowers and leaves were also cut with the dies from the Fragrant Layers dies. The card used for these are Daffodil Delight (#121680), Balmy Blue (#147007), Fresh Freesia (#155614), Lemon Lime Twist (#144250) and Granny Apple Green (#147014). The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the leaves with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The gold sequins are from the retired Traditional Sparkling Sequins.

Beautiful Butterflies

 Hi friends,

A beautiful butterfly card using the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle (#164615). Included in this bundle is the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set (#164608) and the Hybrid Embossing Folder (#164614). This hybrid folder consists of the Embossing Folder and dies which work together or separately, giving lots of  choices.

The largest of the butterfly dies is used to create a butterfly shaped card front. I cut the Blueberry Bushel card (#146991) 13.5cm x 18cm and scored along the longer side at 9cm. The die was placed on top of this card, lining the top straight piece of the die with the score line. This was then run through the Stampin’ Cut & Embossed machine (#149653). 

Once it is cut just trim the 2 sides at the score lines to remove the unwanted area around the butterfly.

I stamped the details of the wings from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set onto this butterfly using VersaMark (#102283) giving a slightly darker tone to the card.

I then stamped the whole butterfly with VersaMark onto Azure Afternoon card (#161728) and added Black from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165679) and set this with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with the co-ordinating die. This butterfly was attached to the butterfly card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430), just in the centre of the butterfly so you can lift the wings up. I added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) for some glimmer to the top butterfly.

I matted a piece of Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper (#164607) with Basic Black card (#121688) and attached it to the inside of the Blueberry Bushel card. “Celebrate” is cut with a Wanted To Say die (#161594) with Blueberry Bushel card backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) and this was attached to the DSP under the butterfly.

You could use this card as is, however I decided to add it to a Basic White card base (#159228) so I had more area for writing inside. The embellishments are from the Tinsel Gems Three-Pack (#161624).

Beautiful Butterflies

 Hello & welcome again,

I love butterflies (as you probably know) and can’t resist anything with them, so I love this Beautiful Butterflies bundle (#164615). The bundle consists of the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set (#164608) and the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder (#164614).

The Hybrid embossing folder includes the embossing folder as well as the set of dies. The large butterfly can be cut and embossed by placing the die into the embossing folder and it do both at the same time. Both the folder and die can be used as normal as well, making them very versatile.

I cut the Daffodil Delight card (#121680) for the background butterfly using both the die & folder. The Basic Black card (#121688) was cut with another die and this was attached to the yellow butterfly with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) on the body part only.

I dry embossed the Beautiful Bokeh 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164607) with the embossing folder and matted it with Daffodil Delight card. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the butterfly to the card front. Again I only attached it under the body part so you can lift the wings up from the card.

“Happy Birthday” from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Crushed Curry ink (#147087) and cut with a Changing Leaves die (#164138). I attached this with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Take A Bow die

 Hello friends,

A quick and easy card today, using a spare stamped & coloured image from a previous project. These leftover pieces are great when time is short (like today).

I stamped the image from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set (#164184) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I coloured it with Stampin’ Blends - Balmy Blue (#154830), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Cherry Cobbler (#154880), Pumpkin Pie (#154897) and Pecan Pie (#161674). The co-ordinating die from the Winterly Tree Tops die (#164065) was used to cut the image. 

I cut the pieces of Beautiful Bokeh 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164607) with the Take A Bow die (#164102) and attached them to the Basic White base card (#159228). I matted this with Blueberry Bushel card (#146991) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

“Best Wishes” from the Layering Leaves stamp set (#161277) was stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138) and I used a Nested Essentials Die (#161597) to cut it.

The birds & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are from the Tinsel Gems Four-Pack (#161623). Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the bird.
