The Highland Heather card front (#147010) was dry embossed with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder (#167097). I matted this with the Gorgeous Grape card (#147011).

Th 2 fancy pieces in the top corners were cut with a Beautifully Celebrated die (#166974) using Gorgeous Grape card backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). These were attached to the card.

The 2 long “labels” were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I cut the row of flowers in half & attached them with Mini Glue Dots.

“Sending Love” from the Friendly Foliage stamp set (#167021) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and cut with a die from the soon to be released Paradise Garden dies (#167120).

Beautifully Adorned Ephemera pack

Hello friends,

I’m back in the craft room for a short time again today after another morning of cleaning. You know those jobs that keep getting put off, but can’t put them off any longer.

Here is a pretty card using a variety of products and no stamping at all. I also choose not to add a sentiment for now.

The Very Vanilla card front (#166785) was dry embossed with the Beautiful Pattern 3D Embossing Folder (#167097). The edges were daubered with Garden Green ink (#147089) then attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

The gold frame is from the Beautifully Adorned Ephemera Pack (#166980). This was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The bird is from the Softest Spring Mix & Match Puffy Stickers (#166986). This is adhesive backed. The leaves & flowers are from the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape (#165269) and the Greenery Lane Washi Tape (#166880). The Extraordinary Flora Die (#165244) and the Greenery Lane dies (#166876) were used to cut the images. These were then attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots.

Before die cutting the Washi tape, they were attached to Basic White card (#166781) and Window Sheet (#142314).

The retired Earth Tones Shimmer Gems were added to finish the card.

Branching Out dies

Hello again,

Before I put everything away from yesterday’s card I thought I would make another one with a variation.

The flower, leaves and gold corner pieces are from the Beautifully Adorned Ephemera Pack (#166980). The flower has an outline in gold so I coloured the back with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675).

The card front is from the Whispers Of Texture Specialty Paper (#167106) and this was matted with Bubble Bath card (#161727), then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I cut the “frame” with 2 of the Branching Out dies (#165775), then dry embossed it with the Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder (#165170). This was attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Congratulations” is from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) and stamped with VersaMark (#102283), then I added the Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing powders (#165678). The Heat Tool (#129056) was used to set the powder. This was punched with the Three Banner punch (#167050).

The flower was attached with a Stampin’ Dimensional, and Mini Glue Dots (#103683) were used for the leaves & gold corners. The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals and a Mini Glue Dot. The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to finish the card.

Beautifully Adorned Ephemera Pack

Hi again,

Another sneak peek today, this time using the Beautifully Adorned Ephemera Pack (#166980) from the upcoming mini catalogue available from 6th January. There are 6 vellum sheets, 2 each of 3 designs of pre-cut images with gold. Gold & white always looks so elegant.

For the background I used the Whispers Of Texture Specialty Paper (#167106) and added subtle colour using a Blending Brush (#153611) with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) to the middle of the card.

I dry embossed a piece of Basic White card (#166781) with the Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder (#165170), then punched this several times with the Three Banner Punch (#167050). These were taped to the card front. I matted this with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

“Celebrate” is from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) and I stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing powders (#165678). The Heat Tool (#129056) was used to set the powder. This was also punched with the Three Banner punch.

The flower was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and the leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to the card.
