Positive Thoughts

Hello,

These 2 colours - Rich Razzleberry and Granny Apple Green compliment each other to make a beautiful card.

The Whisper White card front (#106549) was dry embossed with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder (#149634) and matted with the Rich Razzleberry card (#119981), then attached to the Whisper White base card. A piece of the Granny Apple Green from the Brights 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#152487) was attached to the bottom of the card. I stamped the sentiment and the butterfly from the Positive Thoughts stamp set (#c151490) using Rich Razzleberry ink (#147091). The leaves from the same stamp set were stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). The lighter leaves were stamped using the stamping off method. The butterfly and leaves were cut with the Natures Thoughts Dies (#153586). I sprayed the leaves and butterfly with the Frost White Shimmer Paint (#147046). 

The wreath was cut with a Birds & More Die (#152721) and a Layering Circles Die (#151770) from Granny Apple Green card (#147014), which had the Adhesive Sheet (#152334) adhered to the back. The sentiment was also cut with the same Layering Circle Die. The wreath was attached to the white circle, then this was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are retired but were perfect for this card.

Have a great day!!

Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper

Welcome everyone,

I am loving all the Christmas products in the new August-December 2020 Mini Catalogue. One of my favourite suites is the Poinsettia Place suite and today I am using the beautiful designer paper.

I attached the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper (#153487) to the Very Vanilla Card front (#106550). I cut the leafy border using a die from the Birds & More dies (#152721) using the Gold Brushed Metallic 12”x12” Cardstock (#153524). This was glued to the card with the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). I daubered the edges of the cardfront with Garden Green ink (#147089) before attaching it to the Very Vanilla base card. I stamped the sentiment which can be found in the Wrapped In Christmas stamp set (#c153481) with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Gold Stampin’ emboss Powder (#109129) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was then cut with a Tasteful Labels Die (#1528860). (I matted this with Garden Green card which I cut with an electronic cutter). The bow from the Gift Wrapped stamp set (#153432) was also Gold heat embossed and fussy cut. I coloured the bow with So Saffron Stampin’ Blends (#154905), then added sparkle using the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897). The sentiment and the bow were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I added the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#150457) to the sentiment to finish the card.

I hope your weekend has been a relaxing one.

Poinsettia Dies

Hi ladies & guys,

Here’s another Christmas card using the Poinsettia dies (#153522).

I have cut 3 layers of petals for the poinsettia from Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) using the Poinsettia Dies. There are dies which emboss the petals and also dies that cut and they can be embossed and cut at the same time. I added some glitter to the petals with the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) and assembled the flower using Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The centre of the flower is Gold Foil sheet (#132622). The Very Vanilla card front (#106550) was dry embossed with the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#151801) and attached to the Cherry Cobbler base card. I cut the “wreath” from the Birds & More Dies (#152721), then cut it using a Layering Circles Die (#151770). This was attached to the card by using the Adhesive Sheets (#152334) on the back of the Gold Foil Sheet. I cut the “berries” from Mossy Meadow card (#133683) and added the Shimmery Crystal Effects (#150892) to the “berries”. These were then attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots. The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set (#150513) and stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083). I used an Ornate Frames Die (#150664) to cut the sentiment and Stamnpin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach this to the card. The embellishments are from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#150457).

Have a great day!!

Birds & More Dies

Hi & welcome friends,

I have used The Birds & More dies (#152721) on today’s card. These also co-ordinate with the Birds & Branches stamp set (#p152570), however I have only used the dies here.

I cut the bottom edge of the Very Vanilla card (#106550) with a one of the dies. Then I dry embossed this card with one of the Meadow Moments Embossing Folders (#153126). There are 2 smaller folders in this set with different embossed images. I adhered the Adhesive Sheets (#152334) to some Mint Macaron card (#138344), then cut the branches with the Birds & More Dies and attached the branches to the card front. The birds are also cut with the same set of dies. I used the beautiful Rainbow Glimmer Paper (#153056) for these cute birds. Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the birds & sentiment. “Celebrate” is from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (#c151331) and I used an Ornate Frames Die (#150664) to cut this. The Gold Trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (#152475) was attached to the label. The embellishments are from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#150457). The card front was attached to Mint Macron card, then this was attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

Hope you can have a crafty day!!

Birds & Branches

Hi everyone,

If you love cute little birds you will love this Birds & Branches Bundle (#154107).

The Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) was cut with 2 dies from the Birds & More Dies (#152721), then embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (#152718). The branch, flowers and bird were also all cut with these dies. I used Garden Green card (#108605) for the branch and Poppy Parade card (#121694) for the bird. I stamped the flowers from the Birds & Branches stamp set (#152570) using Bumble Bee ink (#153116) and added the Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) to the flower centres. I used the Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of the Garden Green card before cutting the branch. I am so pleased to see the return of adhesive sheets as it makes it so easy to attach more detailed die cuts to your project. “Happy Birthday” is from the Many Mates stamp set (#c152633) and stamped with Poppy Parade ink (#147050), then cut with a Stitched So Sweetly Die (#151690). The sentiment, bird and flowers were all attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I couldn’t resist adding sparkle to the bird and flowers using the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897).

Have a great day.
