Mediterranean Blooms

Hi everyone,

A quick & easy card using the Mediterranean Blooms 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#163284) and the co-ordinating Citrus Blooms dies (#163294).

I cut the image from the DSP with the die. I cut the leaves from Garden Green card (#108605) with dies from the same set.

I used the Take A Bow die (#164102) to cut the Basic White card, then dry embossed these 3 pieces with the Plaster Painting Embossing Folder (#164656) these were taped to the Basic White card front and matted with Garden Green card. The base card is also Basic White.

The oranges die cut was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The die cut leaves were attached using Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

I added some glimmer to the oranges with Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) and added the Clear Dots from the Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots (#164204).

I decided not to add a sentiment at this time, so no stamping on this card.

Hello everyone,

The Memorable Blooms Bundle (#164826) consists of the Memorable Blooms stamp set (#164816) and the Memorable Blooms dies (#164825) and has been used for the flowers & leaves on todays card.

I stamped the flowers & leaves with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). These were coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Petunia Pop (#163828), Summer Splash (#163826) and Shy Shamrock (#163825). The Memorable Blooms dies were used to cut these stamped images as well as the leaves from the Summer Splash card (#163798). This card was backed with Adhesive Sheets (#152334).

I cut the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper (#163372) and the Petunia Pop card (#163802) with a die from the Citrus Blooms dies (#163294) for the card front. I cut the two ends of the Petunia Pop card and attached it to the DSP. This was attached to the Basic White base card.

I attached a strip of the DSP to the card front. “Happy Birthday” is from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set (#164608) and this was stamped with Petunia Pop ink (#163811). I used a Delicate Forest die (#162679) to cut the sentiment and taped this to the card.

The stamped leaves and 1 of the floral images were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The other floral image was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (144108). The embellishments are from the Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins (#164970).

Enduring Beauty

Hello again my friends,

I have used the Enduring Beauty stamp set (#162670), the Enduring Beauty dies (#162672) and the Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks (#162673) for this very pretty card.

I stamped the floral image with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I then coloured the image using the Decorative Masks. For the flowers I used Pretty In Pink ink (#163807) and I used Summer Splash ink (#163809) for the leaves with Blending Brushes (#153611). As I only wanted very soft colours, I very gently added the colour. You can always add more colour but you can’t take it away if you start too dark. When I used the second mask for the flowers & leaves I added slightly more ink for the slightly darker colour but still used the same inks.

I cut this floral image & the Gold Foil (#132622) for the leaves with the Enduring Beauty dies. The Gold Foil was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

I attached a piece of the Pretty In Pink from the 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper Assortments (#163777) to a piece of Basic White card (#159228), then cut this with the die from the Citrus Blooms (#163294). This was dry embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder (#163791). I also cut a piece of Pretty In Pink card (#163794) with the same die. I cut this in half to allow me to matt the top & bottom of the white card. This was taped to the Basic White base card.

The floral image was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves were attached easily with the Adhesive Sheet on the back.

The sentiment from the Regal Flora stamp set (#164157) was stamped with Summer Splash ink. A die from the Delicate Forest Dies (#162679) was used to cut the sentiment. This was taped to the flowers. The embellishments are the Iridescent Foil Gems (#162842). I added Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the flowers for the shimmer.

The Nests Of Winter Designer Series Paper (#164183) is where you will find these birds. There is a co-ordinating die in the Winterly Tree Tops dies (#164065) which I used to cut them.

I cut the detailed leafy frame with dies from the Citrus Blooms dies (#163294) using Garden Green card (#108605) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). I also cut the Nests Of Winter Designer Series Paper for the background with the die and attached the leaves to it. This was then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The sentiment from the Christmas Labels stamp set (#164296) was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083). A Christmas Labels dies (#164100) was used to cut the sentiment.

The birds & sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the birds.

Hello friends,

The Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack (#163762) contains a range of die-cut flowers & leaves, which can be used for a quick & easy card or jazzed up with something extra. The floral image I used here was in black & white so I coloured it with Stampin’ Blends.

The flowers were coloured with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675). I used Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends (#154902) and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894) for the leaves. I used Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) on the “twigs”. I add the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) for the sparkle on the flowers & leaves.

The background was cut with a Citrus Blooms die 163294) using Pretty In Pink from the 2024-2026 In Color 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#163777) and Pretty In Pink card (#163794). I cut the Pretty In Pink card in half diagonally and attached it to the DSP for an offset matt. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The floral image was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I cut the leaves from the Citrus Blooms dies using the white paper from the Berry Burst, Old Olive & White Glimmer Paper (#163769). These were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Hello stamping friends,

This beautiful leafy frame is cut with dies from the Citrus Blooms dies (#163294).

I used Basic White card (#159228) for the leafy frame and the DSP behind that is from the Mediterranean Blooms 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#163284). These were both cut with the Citrus Blooms dies. I backed the Basic White card with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting with the dies, and attached it to the DSP.

The bird from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set (#162684) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). This was fussy cut and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Citrus Blooms

Hello everyone,

I love when the dies will cut images from the Designer paper as well as the stamp set. The Citrus Blooms dies (#163294) cuts some of the images from the co-ordinating Mediterranean Blooms 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#163284).

These oranges from the DSP were cut with the dies. The beautiful leafy frame was cut with 2 of the dies. They can be cut at the same time or separately. I used Lemon Lolly card (#161729) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). I also cut a piece of Very Vanilla Card (#106550) just with the outline die and dry embossed this with one of the Basics Embossing Folders (#161598). I then attached the Lemon Lolly die cut to the Very Vanilla piece. This was then attached to the Very Vanilla Base card.

“Just For You” from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Garden Green ink (#147089). I used a die from the Round We Go Dies (#163729). This just cut the holes around the sentiment. I then cut this with a die from the Unbounded Love dies (#163383) as well as the Garden Green card (#108605) under the sentiment with the slightly larger die.

The oranges and sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I used the Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add some glimmer to the oranges. The embellishments are from the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots (#162758).
