Lovely Doilies

Hello again friends,

Another sneak peek today are the Lovely Doilies (#167104) which will be available next week from the Online Exclusives. There are 2 sizes of doilies and I have used the smaller size. They are in Real Red and Bubble Bath with White on the back and I have used the white side. The coloured side has a printed design on it.

The size of the finished card is 12.5cm x 12.5cm. The Fresh Freesia card front (#155614) was dry embossed with the Beautiful Patterns Embossing Folder (#167097), then matted with Petunia Pop card (#163802). This was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I stamped the floral image from the Christmas Greenery stamp set (#165870) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The flowers and ribbon were coloured with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends (#155518) and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends (#163828). I used Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885) to colour the leaves. The co-ordinating Christmas Greenery die (#165872) was used to cut this image.

I added the doily to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) then attached the Gold Striped Mesh ribbon (#165599). The floral image was attached on top with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Congratulations” from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) was stamped with Petunia Pop ink (#163811) and punched with the Three Banner punch (#167050) and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The embellishments are the (retired) Iridescent Faceted Gems.

Christmas Greenery

Hello friends,

The Christmas Greenery Bundle (#165865) is probably my favourite Christmas sets, but I think this floral image is suitable for other occasions, making it extra versatile.

I stamped the image from the Traditional Labels stamp set (#165854) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#166781). This was coloured with Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends (#161673), Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894). A Traditional Labels die (#165864) was used to cut this.

The 2 label dies from the Peace On Earth dies (#165924) were used to cut the Vellum Specialty Paper (#167099) and the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper (#165929). I dry embossed the Vellum with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder (#167097). This was attached to the glimmer paper with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The DSP is from the retired Otterly Adorable Designer Series Paper. I also dry embossed this with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder. I double matted this with Daffodil Delight card (#121680) and Secret Sea card (#165296) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

“Celebrate” from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set (#165198) was stamped with Secret Sea ink (#165285) and this was punched with the Banner Punch (#167050).

I taped the labels to the card front and I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the flowers and sentiment. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was added to the floral image and the embellishments are the retired Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

The Vellum Specialty paper, Three Banner Punch and Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder will be available from the Online Exclusives from November along with a whole lot more new products.

Christmas Greenery Bundle

Hello friends,

The Christmas Greenery bundle (#165873) is a favourite with the beautiful floral images. Even though it is a Christmas set, I feel the floral image I have used on today’s card can be used for any occasion.

I stamped the image from the Christmas Greenery stamp set (#165870) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#166781). The Stampin’ Blends to colour the image are Fresh Freesia (#155518), Petunia Pop (#163828) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). I cut this image and the leaves with the Christmas Greenery dies (#165872). For the leaves I used Granny Apple Green card (#147014).

I cut the arches with the Everyday Arches dies (#164629) using Basic White card & Petunia Pop card (#163802). I added some colour on the Basic White arch using a Blending Brush (#153611) and Petunia Pop ink (#163811).

The card front was dry embossed with the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder (#165928). The edges were daubered with Petunia Pop ink, then attached to the Basic White base card. The arches were taped together and attached to the card. The green leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the coloured floral images.

“Celebrate” from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) was stamped with Petunia Pop ink and cut with the More Messages die (#165472). Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to attach the sentiment.

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the flowers. The embellishments are from the Iridescent Faceted Gems (#163368).

Christmas Greenery bundle

Hi friends,

One of my favourite Christmas products in the new catalogue is the Traditions Of Christmas Suite Collection (#165877). This includes 2 bundles, embossing folder, designer paper, embellishments & ribbon. For this card I have used the Christmas Greenery Bundle (#165873).

I stamped the floral image from the Christmas Greenery stamp set (#165870) twice, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#166785). The Stampin’ Blends to colour these images are Daffodil Delight (#154883), Real Red (#154899), Bubble Bath (#161675), Lost Lagoon (#161680), Cherry Cobbler (#154880) and Pretty Peacock (#161676). These images were then cut with the a Christmas Greenery dies (#165872). I then cut the images in half and cut some of the leaves off separately.

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder (#163789). This was matted with Real Red card (#106578) and attached to the Basic White base card.

I cut the circle from the Pretty Peacock card (#150886) with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). This was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The floral images & leaves were arranged around the circle. These were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Merry Christmas” was cut using the Words For The Season dies (#165797). I used Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). The embellishments are Flower Accents (#165171).

Christmas Greenery Bundle

Hello everyone,

Here is a sneak peek of some new products which will be available from the 3rd September. The floral image is from the Christmas Greenery stamp set (#165870), but I decided to use the image for a non Christmas card.

I stamped the image with VersaMark (#102283) and added Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was coloured with Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends (#147052) and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends (#163826). The co-ordinating Christmas Greenery die (#165872) was used to cut this.

The Flirty Flamingo card front (#141421) was dry embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder (#163791), then attached to the Basic White card base (#166781).

The white frame was cut with the Branching Out dies (#165775). This was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Love” is from the Peace On Earth stamp set (#165918) and this was stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052) then cut with the More Messages die (#165472).

The floral image and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The gold Flower Accents (#165171) were added to finish the card.
