Double scrapbook layout

Hello friends,

I have made a double scrapbook layout with photos from a recent short holiday. I like to include lots of photos and limit the embellishments for simple pages on my scrapbooking.

The base pages are from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393). I dry embossed the Cajun Craze card (#121683) with the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder (#164069). This was attached to the base pages.

The other DSP is from the Memories In Bloom Scrapbooking Workshop kit (#166713).

I matted the photos with Basic Black card (#121688), and some of the photos were double matted with Granny Apple Green card (#147014).

The leaves were cut with an Autumn Leaves die (#162185). These are retiring and are on the Last Chance products, while stocks last. I used Cherry Cobbler card (#121681), Daffodil Delight card (#121680) and Crumb Cake card (#121685) for the leaves.

Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack

Hello again,

Another quick & easy cards today using 2 Ephemera Packs.

The flower is from the Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack (#163762). I coloured this with Clear Wink Of Stella 141897). I mentioned a few weeks ago ago that I used 2 almost empty Wink Of Stellas and added some Isocol to them, then added a drop of Granny Apple Green Ink refill (#147163) to one and Daffodil Delight Ink Refill (#119672) to the other. So I used these to add very subtle colour to the flower & leaves and this applies the glimmer at the same time.

“Congratulations” is from the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (#164862).

The Crushed Curry card (#131288) was dry embossed with the Birch Wood Embossing Folder (#164069) before matting with Basic Black card (#121688). This was then attached to the Basic White Base card (#166781).

The sentiment and flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The hearts on this card are cut with the Adoring Hearts dies (#162569), another retiring product.

The hearts were cut from Basic White card (#166781), then dry embossed with the Birch Wood Embossing Folder (#164069).

I fussy cut the birds from the Nests Of Winter Designer Series Paper (#164183) and the DSP for the card front is from the same pack. This was matted with Shaded Spruce card (#147006) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The card with the cut out hearts was taped to the card front. The birds were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Congratulations” from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set (#162617) was stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088) and cut with a Beautiful Butterflies die (#164614). This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Flowers Of Beauty

Hello again friends,

Again I am using retiring products - Flowers Of Beauty Bundle (#163376) and the Linked Together dies (#164808).

Check all the retiring products in the Last Chance products - https://www.stampinup.com.au with some great discounts on many of the products. Just a little tip, sometimes it may be better value to buy a stamp set & die separately rather than the bundle in the Last Chance Products.

The card front was dry embossed with the Birch Wood Embossing Folder (#164069) and matted with Flirty Flamingo card (#141421), then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I stamped the flowers from the Flowers Of Beauty stamp set (#163374) with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052) and the leaves were stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). The flowers, stamped leaves and the Lemon Lime Twist (#144250) leaves were cut with the Flowers Of Beauty dies (#163375).

A die from Linked Together was used to cut the Silver Foil (#163387). This was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). After cutting with the die, just peel off the backing and attach it to the card.

The die cut leaves and flowers were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the stamped leaves with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Happy Birthday” from Simply Said stamp set (#163756) was stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink and cut with a Delicate Forest die (#162679). This die set is also retiring. The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are from the Adhesive-Backed Pearl Trio (#163319). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the flowers.

Linked Together Dies

Hello again friends,

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas. I enjoyed this very special time with family.

I’m back after a very busy week leading up to Christmas and all the Christmas festivities. I have almost completed my craft room, just waiting on some more shelving to have everything organised. It is looking great. I was really eager to get back to crafting so here is my card today using the Linked Together dies (#164808). These will be available in the new Mini Catalogue from the 7th January 2025.

The lattice, leaves, flowers & oval are all cut from these dies. The small diamonds are pieces that came out of the lattice. I used Pretty Peacock card (#150886) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to cut the lattice. The lattice & diamonds was attached to the Very Vanilla card (#106550) which was dry embossed with the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder (#164069). I matted this with Pretty Peacock card and attached it to the Very Vanilla base card.

“Happy Birthday” from Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) and cut with the oval die. The leaves were cut from Lost Lagoon card (#133686) also backed with Adhesive Sheet. I used Peach Pie card (#163800) for the flowers. I attached 2 flowers together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

The sentiment was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The flowers were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The Low Profile Dots (#164658) were added to the centre of the flowers.
