Party Banners dies

Hello again friends,

I have layered 2 of the banners from the Party Banners dies (#165264) for today’s card. There are 14 banner dies in this set so a great range of sizes for your projects.

The banners were cut from Summer Splash card (#163798) and Fresh Freesia card (#155614). I dry embossed the Fresh freesia card with the now retired Mini Corrugated embossing folder. The banners were taped together.

“Birthday” from the Blooming Phrases stamp set (#165523) was stamped with Summer Splash ink (#163809) onto the Basic White card front (#166781). This was matted with Summer Splash card and attached to the Basic White base card.

I stamped the floral images with the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). These were cut with the co-ordinating Extraordinary Flora die (#165244). The Stampin’ Blends to colour these are Fresh Freesia (#155518), Highland Heather (#154887), Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Summer Splash (#163826), Pool Party (#154894) and Shy Shamrock (#163825). These were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Happy” was cut with a die from Words For The Season (#165797) using Summer Splash card backed with Adhesive Sheet (#153334) making it easy to attach to the card.

The embellishments are the Frosted Iridescent Dots (#165766). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was added to the flowers to give some sparkle.

Along These Lines stamp set

Hi again,

Along These Lines stamp set (#165352) has a variety of line images. I have used the cake for this card.

I stamped the cake with Calypso Coral ink (#147101) onto Very Vanilla card (#166785). I used the Party Banners dies (#165264) to cut the stamped image as well as the Calypso Coral card (#124392) and the Old Olive card (#106576), then these were taped together.

The Very Vanilla card front was dry embossed with the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder (#164049) and matted with Calypso Coral card. The Base card is Very Vanilla. The DSP is from the Timeless Plaid 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164678).

“Celebrate” is from the Blooming Phrases stamp set (#16552) and stamped with Calypso Coral ink and cut with a Textured Notes Die (#165555).

The sentiment & banners were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add some glimmer to the cake.

Blooming Phrases stamp set

Hello friends,

All the stamped images on today’s card are from the Blooming Phrases stamp set (#165523). There are 8 sentiments with a “tail” at the end. I used the tail for the stems of the flowers then stamped the flowers and leaves.

I cut the Basic White card (#166781) and Blueberry Bushel card (#146991) with the Party Banners dies (#165264).

The “Thinking Of You” stamp has the “Thinking of” on the top line and “you” underneath. I just inked the “thinking of” and stamped it along the top of the banner, then inked “you” and stamped it vertically for something different. I used Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138).

For the flowers I used Daffodil Delight ink (#147094), Peach Pie ink (#163810) and Bubble Bath ink (#161664). The stems & leaves were stamped with Pool Party ink (#147107).

I taped the 2 banners together then attached them to the Floral & Gingham Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164713). This was attached to the Basic White base card. The embellishments are the Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs (161954) and are currently still available on the Last Chance Products, while stocks last.

Framed Scenes

Hi friends,

A great masculine card today using the Framed Scenes Bundle (#165397). The bundle consists of the Framed Scenes stamp set (#165395) and the Framed Scenes dies (#165396).

I stamped the lighthouse image with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Silver from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I cut this with the rectangular die from the Framed Scenes dies. I also cut a piece of Secret Sea card (#165296) with the same die for the frame.

The Cloud Cover card (#165293) was dry embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder 163791), then matted with the Secret Sea card. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“Just Because” from the Blooming Phrases stamp set (#165523) was stamped with Secret Sea ink (#165285) and cut with a die from the Beautiful Butterflies dies (#16614). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The Secret Sea & Cloud Cover are 2 of the new 2025-2027 In-Colors.

Along These Lines stamp set

Hello friends,

This cute puppy & heart are from the Along These Lines stamp set (#165352). I thought it co-ordinated well with the sentiment from the Blooming Phrases stamp set (#165523) with the line art. These are in the upcoming catalogue and Online Exclusives available from the 6th May.

I stamped the puppy & heart with VersaMark (#102283) onto a piece of Shaded Hues 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#166260). This DSP is retiring. I added the Copper powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678) and set this with the Heat Tool (#129056). This DSP was then dry embossed with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317).

The frames are cut with a die from the Gallery Blooms dies (#165212). This die cuts 2 sized frames at the same time. So I cut the Bright Copper from the Metallics 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#163772) and used the larger frame, then the Coastal Cabana card (#131302) for the smaller frame. I then stamped the sentiment from the Blooming Phases stamp set and this was also heat embossed with Copper.

I attached the frames to the stamped DSP, then attached them to the Very Vanilla card base (#106550). I added the Sunny Day Iridescent Dots (#164696) to the card
