Spring Corners dies

Hi & welcome,

I have used the Spring Corners dies (#164742) for the detailed die cuts on today’s card.

There are two identical dies so you can cut 2 at a time which I did to cut the 4 corners of the Basic White card (#159228). I then cut the Berry Burst for the tiny flowers from the Berry Burst, Old Olive & White 12”x12” Glimmer Specialty Paper (#163769) using another die. I had this backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) making it easy to attach to the card.

The card front was matted with Shaded Spruce card (#147006), then attached it to the Basic White base card.

“Happy Birthday” from the Translucent Florals stamp set (#162243) was stamped with Berry Burst ink (#147143). I cut the 2 squares using the Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183) from Basic White card. I taped the larger one to the card front and the one with the sentiment with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The die cut flowers were attached to the card.

I coloured the Clear Dots from the Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots (#164204) with Berry Burst Stampin’ Blends (#161681) before attaching to the centre of the flowers.

I coloured this with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675), Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885) and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883). I cut this image and the leaves with the co-ordinating dies. I used Granny Apple Green card (#147014) backed with Adhesive sheet (#152334) for the leaves.

I cut the Berry Burst glimmer paper tag from the Berry Burst, Old Olive & White Glimmer Specialty Paper (#163769) using a Greetings Of The Season die (#164112).

I dry embossed the Bubble Bath card (#161727) with one of the Basics Embossing Folders (#161598) then matted this with the Berry Burst glimmer paper.

The sentiment from the Regal Flora stamp set (#164157) was stamped with Berry Burst ink (#147143) and cut with a Changing Leaves die (#164138).

I taped the tag to the card front. The flowers and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The detailed leaves were attached to the card. The Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) added glimmer to the flowers.

Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack

Hello friends,

The Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack (#163762) contains a range of die-cut flowers & leaves, which can be used for a quick & easy card or jazzed up with something extra. The floral image I used here was in black & white so I coloured it with Stampin’ Blends.

The flowers were coloured with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675). I used Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends (#154902) and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894) for the leaves. I used Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) on the “twigs”. I add the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) for the sparkle on the flowers & leaves.

The background was cut with a Citrus Blooms die 163294) using Pretty In Pink from the 2024-2026 In Color 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#163777) and Pretty In Pink card (#163794). I cut the Pretty In Pink card in half diagonally and attached it to the DSP for an offset matt. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The floral image was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I cut the leaves from the Citrus Blooms dies using the white paper from the Berry Burst, Old Olive & White Glimmer Paper (#163769). These were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Let’s Celebrate” from the Sentimental Park stamp set (#160561) was stamped with Pretty In Pink ink (#163807), then cut with a Something Fancy die (#160424). The pretty Iridescent Faceted Gems (#163368) were added for a bit more sparkle.

Designer Tags Dies

Hello again friends,

I have used the Designer Tags Dies (#159165) for today’s card to cut the tag, floral image & butterfly.

I cut the tag from Blackberry Bliss card (#133682) then I cut the floral image on the tag. I then put a small piece of the White Glimmer Paper from the Berry Burst, Old Olive & White 12”x12” Glimmer Specialty Paper (#163769) behind the tag so you can see the lovely glitter through the cut out image. This glimmer paper is available from the Online Exclusives. I also cut the butterfly from this paper.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#162189), then matted with Blackberry Bliss card.

I threaded the Silver & White 1/2” Sheer Ribbon (#162149) through the top & bottom of the tag and wrapped it around the card front. The tag was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment is from Thoughtful Expressions Stamp set (#162815) and stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092). I used a die from the Happy Little Things dies (#163709). There are 2 banner dies in this set so is ideal for sentiments. The sentiment and butterfly were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and I finished the card with the Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels (#158987).
