Blessings Of Home

Hello stamping friends,

The Blessings Of Home Bundle (#157939) which consists of the Blessings Of Home stamp set (#157930) and the Flowers Of Home Dies (#157938) is another of the retiring products.

I stamped the floral image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Basic White card (#159228). I used a variety of Stampin’ Blends to colour this - Polished Pink (#155520), Fresh Freesia (#155518), Soft Succulent (#155521), Balmy Blue (#154830), Highland Heather (#154887), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Pale Papaya (#155519), Pool Party (#154894), Flirty Flamingo (#154884) & Old Olive (#154892). The Old Olive was used on the larger leaves but I wasn’t happy with the colour against the other colours so I recoloured them with Soft Succulent and I liked the result. I then added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the flowers & leaves. This was cut with the Flowers Of Home Dies.

Ther card front was dry embossed with one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders (#161598) and the edges were daubered with Highland Heather ink (#147103) then attached to the Basic White base card.

The Fresh Freesia Fine Shimmer Paper (#160428) was cut with dies from the Desert Details dies (#160531). This was backed with Adhesive sheet (#152334) so it was easy to attach it to the card front.

The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The gold Fine Shimmer Paper also had Adhesive Sheet on the back and the dies from the Flowers Of Home dies were used to cut the leaves.

The sentiment is also from the Blessings Of Home stamp set and stamped with Highland Heather ink. A Sending Die (#159271) was used to cut the sentiment and this was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are the Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems (#160412).

The retiring products are the Blessings Of Home stamp set, Flowers Of Home dies, Desert Details dies, Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends, Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends, Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends, Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems and Fine Shimmer Paper Pack.

Hi everyone,

It’s very unusual for me to do a card with “simple stamping”. I think you know I like to use dies, punches, embossing folders, embossing powders etc. However if you are just starting card making, want something simple or are in a rush to make a card you can still achieve lovely results with basic supplies.

I coloured the Basic White card (#159228) for the background using Blending Brushes (#153611) with Orchid Oasis Ink (#159214), Polished Pink ink (#155712), Tahitian Tide ink (#159210) and Parakeet Party ink (#159208).

Next I stamped the beautiful floral image from the Blessings Of Home stamp set (#157930) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was also stamped with this ink. The card front was attached to the Basic White base card. 

How simple is that!!

TIP: If you have trouble getting your sentiment straight on your card, stamp it on an angle, as I have done here, and it will look great.

Hello stamping friends,

A pretty card using the beautiful floral image from the Blessings Of Home stamp set (#157930). 

I stamped this image with Tuxedo Black memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). The Stampin’ Blends to colour this are Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Pale Papaya (#155519), Balmy Blue (#154830), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Fresh Freesia (#155518) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). This was then cut with a die from the Flowers Of Home (#157938).

The background is the Blushing Bride from the Brushstrokes 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#159250). I used the Stitched Greenery Die (#155451) for the stitched effect. This paper was matted with Basic Black card (#121688), then attached to the beautiful Iridescent Foil from the Rose Gold 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#159139). This foil picks up all the colours of the rainbow which makes it hard to photograph. The base card is Basic White.

The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The leaves were cut from the same Rose Gold Foil which had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) attached to the back and I used the Flowers Of Home dies.

The sentiment, also from the Blessings Of Home stamp set was stamped with Tuxedo Black memento ink and cut with a Sending Die (#159271). The embellishments are from the Fine Sparkle Adhesive-backed Gems (#159967).

TIP: If you don’t want to “waste” your specialty paper when using them to matt the card, as I have done on this card, you can cut a piece out of the centre which can’t  be seen once the other card is attached.

Blessings Of Home stamp set

Hello friends,

The beautiful floral image from the Blessings Of Home stamp set (#157930) has been gold embossed onto Designer Paper for this lovely subtle card.

I stamped the flowers with VersaMark (#102283) onto the Design A Daydream Designer Series Paper (#159161). This DSP is a host set and great value with 48 sheets in the pack. I used Gold Stampin’ Embossing Powder (#155555) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) was also gold embossed.

The hexagons were cut with Beautiful Shapes Dies (#158046). The gold paper is the Distressed Gold 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#159237). The Gold Foil (#132622) banner was cut with a Stylish Shapes Die (#159183). The hexagons were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I backed a piece of Petal Pink card (#147009) with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting with a Flowers Of Home Die (#157938) for the 2 floral stems. Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#158130) were added to finish the card.

Blessings Of Home stamp set

Hello,

I do seem to gravitate towards any floral image and I do love this one from the Blessings Of Home stamp set (#157930).

I stamped the image on Very Vanilla card (#106550) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The image was coloured with the following Stampin’ Blends - Pale Papaya (#155519), Petal Pink (#154893), Pumpkin Pie (#154897), Daffodil Delight (#154883) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). The Designer Series Paper is Heart & Home (#157928) and attached to the card front. This was then matted with the darker foil from the Brushed Metallics cardstock (#153524) and attached to the Very Vanilla base card. 

“Happy Birthday” from the Celebrating You stamp set (#158028) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and cut with a Beautiful Shapes Die (#158046). This die cuts and dry embosses at the same time. The label was daubered with Cinnamon Cider ink (#153114). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach this to the card. The cute little bees are the Bumble Bee Trinkets (#155568) and attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

TIP: Memento ink is great when colouring images with Stampin’ Blends and can be used as a general purpose ink.

Expressions In Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello lovely friends,

There are so many beautiful Stampin’ Up! Designer Papers, it makes it very easy to make an easy but beautiful card like this one.

Both pieces of Designer Paper are from the Expressions In Ink 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#155464). This was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The sentiment from Blessings Of Home stamp set (#157930) was stamped with Magenta Madness ink (#153117), then cut with the label die from the Bloom Dies (#155989). The fine Gold die cut piece around the sentiment and the “leaves” are from the Expressions In Ink Ephemera Pack (#155465). These were attached to the card with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). The Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#158130) were added to the sentiment.

As I said, a very easy but beautiful card.

TIP: Most of the designer papers are double sided which gives you great variety of designs. This pack has beautiful gold foiling on one side of each sheet.

Blessings Of Home Bundle

Hello,

I find colouring is very relaxing, so I love colouring this beautiful floral image from the Blessings Of Home stamp set (#157930) with Stampin’ Blends.

The Stampin’ Blends used are Balmy Blue (#154830), Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Pale Papaya (#155519), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Fresh Freesia (#155518), Granny Apple Green (#154885) and Poppy Parade (#154958). A die from the Flowers Of Home Dies (#157938) was used to cut the image.

The foliage was also cut with the Flowers Of Home Dies and I used Gold Foil Sheets (#132622) which had been backed with Adhesive sheet (#152334).

One of the designs from the Abstract Beauty 4”x6” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#158039) was used for the background. I used the Detailed Trio Punch (#146320) to punch the top left corner. This was then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). The flowers were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430)

The sentiment is also from the Blessings Of Home stamp set and stamped with Night Of Navy ink (#147110). This was cut with the Messages Die (#154422) and taped on the flowers.

Symbols Of Fortune Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello,

The Symbols Of Fortune 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#157652) has a beautiful range of designs including Gold foil. I have used 2 of the designs on this card.

I cut the designer paper with the crane using a hexagon die from the Beautiful Shapes Dies (#158046). Then I cut the Evening Evergreen card (#155575) with the larger hexagon and used this to matt the DSP. This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to the Gold/gray DSP which was cut with a die from the Nature’s Thoughts (#153586). I used Soft Succulent card (#155777) and Evening Evergreen card on the Basic White base card (#159228).

The small Evening Evergreen hexagons were cut with dies also from the Beautiful Shapes Dies. The sentiment is from the Blessings Of Home stamp set (#157930) and stamped with Evening Evergreen ink (#155576). I used the Messages die (#154422) to cut the sentiment, then attached it to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108)

TIP: The Messages die co-ordinates with 2 stamp sets - Many Happenings (#155001) and Many Messages (#154510). Both these sets have a great range of sentiments. However you can also use sentiments from other stamp sets (which I have done on this card), and find the perfect cut out to suit that particular sentiment, so it’s a very versatile die.

Bouquet Of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder

Hi my friends,

The Bouquet Of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder (#157641) will emboss and cut at the same time. You can use the embossing folder alone or if you add the heart die to the folder, it will cut the heart at the same time.

Here’s a very easy card for a special occasion.

I embossed the beautiful Mother Of Pearl 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#157666). This was attached to the Real Red card (#106578). The heart was attached with a double layer of Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The card front was attached to the Shimmery White Base card (#121717).

The sentiment is from the Blessings Of Home stamp set (#157930) and stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) onto Shimmery White card. I cut this with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820) and attached it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The small hearts were cut with a die from the Sweet Hearts Dies (#157623) using the Red Glitter paper from the Ombre Specialty Paper (#155784) and attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

TIP: The beautiful shine on the Mother Of Pearl paper makes it ideal for a special occasion card and this would be great for a wedding card.

After setting the floral image on the Basic White card (#159228) I dry embossed this with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406). I attached the card front to the piece of Gold Foil sheet (#132622) then this was attached to the Basic White base card.

Blessings Of Home stamp set

Hello my crafty friends,

Being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator has many advantages and one is being able to get new products early. The Blessings Of Home stamp set (#157930) will be available from 4th January 2022 but as a demonstrator I have been able to purchase it early and I love it.

I stamped the smaller floral image for this card and it was cut with the Flowers Of Home Dies (#157938). I stamped this with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and coloured it with Stampin’ Blends. The colours used are Daffodil Delight (#154883), Fresh Freesia (#155518), Flirty Flamingo (#154884) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add shimmer to the coloured image.

The Gold Foil from the Brushed Metallics 12”x12” cardstock (#153524) was cut with a Hippo & Friends Die (#153585). This gold pack includes 3 colours of gold - light, medium and dark. I have used the medium colour here.

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406), then daubered the edges with Daffoldil Delight ink (#147094). The Pattern Party 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#155426) was attached to the card front. The gold foil was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment from the Elegantly Said stamp set (#155095) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was also cut with the Hippo & Friends dies and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I made a bow using the Gold Shimmer Ribbon (#152156) and used a Mini Glue Dot (#103683) to attach it to the card. The cute little bee from the Bumblebee Trinkets (#155568) was also attached with a Mini Glue Dot.

 If you would like to find out some of the perks of being a demonstrator please contact me. lesley.j.jendra@gmail.com I would love to hear from you.

Blessings Of Home

Hello friends,

I have just enjoyed 3 days of fun with the Stampin’ Up community (online) and having the chance of playing with new products which will be available in the January-June Mini catalogue. One of the bundles which will be available is the Blessings Of Home (#157939) and I love this gorgeous set. Here is the first of many cards using this product.

There are 2 floral images in the Blessings Of Home stamp set (#157930) and I stamped the smaller one onto Shimmery White card stock (#121717) which is used for the card front. I stamped the larger one on another piece of Shimmery White card and this was cut with a die from the Flowers Of Home Dies (#157938). Both images were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708).

I used a variety of Stampin’ Blends to colour the images including Granny Apple Green (#154885), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Petal Pink (#154893), Pool Party (#154894), Fresh Freesia (#155518), Pale Papaya (#155519), Ivory (#154922) & Pumpkin Pie (#154897). 

After colouring the flowers on the card front, I dry embossed the card with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (#156505). I daubered the edges with Daffodil Delight ink.

I attached some Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to Granny Apple Green card (#147014) before cutting the small leaves from the Flowers Of Home Dies. I attached the  leaves and Gold Trim from the Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) the the card, then attached the large die cut floral image with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). As usual I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the flowers, but it never seems to show in the photo.

“Thinking Of You” from the Blossoms In Bloom stamp set (#158283) was stamped with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094), then cut with a die from the Ornate Frames (#150664). The Gold Trim was threaded through the tag and attached with Mini Dimensionals (#144108). The Genial Gems (#155500) finishes off this beautiful card.
