Friendly Foliage Bundle

 Hello friends,

I thought I would start the day with cleaning my craft table (it always needs tidying), but didn't get far when I came across some left over products from previous projects and thought they would make a lovely card, so here is the card. By the way, the table still isn't tidied, but I was happy with the card.

I stamped the leafy image from the Friendly Foliage stamp set (#167021) with VersaMark (#102283) onto Very Vanilla card (#166785). I added the Copper powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with dies from the Friendly Foliage dies (#167023).

The Crumb Cake card (#121685) was cut with a Textured Notes die (#165555). I attached the leafy image to this with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The Very Vanilla card front was dry embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing folder (#161600), then matted it with Coastal Cabana card (#131302) and attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

The flower is from the stamp set from the 2026 Virtual Card Making Retreat (#170026). This was fussy cut from the larger image. This was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and coloured with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675) and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883). A Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430) was used to attach the flower to the card. The leaves were cut with a die from the Fragrant Layers dies (#167154) using the Pastel Shimmer Specialty Paper (#167198). These were attached with Mini Glue Dots.

“It’s Your Day” is from the Fragrant Layers stamp set (#167150) and this was also heat embossed with Copper powder. A Textured Notes die was used to cut the sentiment. A die from the Fragrant Layers dies was used to cut the Pastel Shimmer Specialty Paper for the banner behind the sentiment. Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to attach this to the card.

The Textured Notes dies are retiring but are still available at a reduced price (in Australia), and while stocks last.

Greenery Lane Washi Tape

Hi friends,

With the busy time over the next couple of weeks with Christmas, I am going to have some time off, but hopefully will get some blogs posted, it just won’t be every day. 

I am giving you another sneak peek today of some products available from 6th January in the upcoming Mini catalogue. The Greenery Lane Washi Tape (#166880) can be cut with the Greenery Lane dies (#166876). There are also stamps in the Greenery Lane stamp set (#166870) that co-ordinate with these dies.

I dry embossed the Vellum Specialty Paper (#167099) with the Lovely Stripes 3D Embossing Folder (#167179). 

“Wishing You Well” from the Greenery Lane stamp set was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Copper powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are from the Low Profile Sparkle Dots (#166157).

The vellum card front was matted with Pretty Peacock card (#150886). When attaching Vellum I add adhesive only where it can’t be seen through the vellum. The bases card is Basic White (#166781).

Etched Autumn stamp

 Hello again friends,

I was in need of a masculine card for an avid gardener so thought the Etched Autumn stamp (#166082) would be suitable to use for the background.

I stamped the background with VeraMark (#102283) onto Very Vanilla card (#166785), then added the Copper powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I then added colour with Blending Brushes (#153611) and Granny Apple Green ink (#147095), Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083), Crushed Curry ink (#147087) and Cajun Craze ink (#147085).

The card front was matted with the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772). “Happy Birthday” from the With You In Mind stamp set (#164747) was also heat embossed with the Copper powder. The sentiment and foil underneath were cut with the Branching Out dies (#165775), these were attached together and I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach it to the card.

The leaves were cut using a retired die from the Happy Hibiscus dies. I used Granny Apple Green card (#147014), Cherry Cobbler card (#121681), Crushed Curry card (#131288) and Cajun Craze card (#121683). I added shimmer to the leaves with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897). These were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The embellishments are retired Earth Tones Shimmer Gems.

Gears & Textures

 Hello again my friends,

I am having a break from Christmas cards today and I have a sneak peek of the Gears & Textures Bundle (#166854), which is great for masculine cards. This bundle will be available in the next mini catalogue from the 6th January.

The White card front is from the Whispers Of Texture Specialty Paper (#167106), which by its name has a fine texture. Using a Blending Brush (#153611) I added the Cloud Cover ink in the middle of the card. The card was then matted with Basic Gray card (#121689) and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I randomly stamped several blotches from the Gears & Textures stamp set (#166851) with VersaMark (#102283) onto a piece of Basic Gray card and added the Copper powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I then cut out different gears from the Gears & Textures dies (#166853). I used another die from this set to cut the Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper (#165545) and these were glued to the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

I attached some of the gears with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and others with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Addressed To You stamp set (#167010) - also available in January. This was stamped with Basic Gray ink (#149165) and punched with the Three Banner Punch (#167050). This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The 2 pieces of Copper Foil from the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772) were cut with dies also from the Gears & Textures. I had backed this foil with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), making it easy to attach these fine cut outs to the card.

Changing Leaves

 Welcome again,

I have used the Changing Leaves stamp set (#164351) to emboss the leaves on this card.

I stamped the 3 leaves onto the Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper (#162735) with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Copper from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I matted the DSP with Copper Clay card (#161730) and attached it to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550).

I cut the detailed leaves using the dies which are part of the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder (#164138). For these leaves I used the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772). I attached these to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was also Copper embossed, then cut with a die from the Changing Leaves. I attached the sentiment to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Trucking Along

 Hello friends,

As tomorrow is Father’s Day in Australia, I thought I would make a Father’s Day card for hubby. He loves his cars, and when we first met he owned a ute, so decided the truck from the Trucking Along stamp set (#162299) would be great for him.

I stamped the truck with VersaMark (#102283) onto one of the designs of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393). This gives a bit of an old rusty look. I used the Copper from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The Trucking Along Builder Punch (#162305) was used to punch the truck.

I dry embossed the Basic White card (#159228) with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder  (#154317). I then added some colour with a Blending Brush (#153611) and Pecan Pie ink (#161665), just behind where I was attaching the truck. This card and the DSP also from the Country Woods DSP, was partly matted with Pecan Pie card (#161726). These were taped to the Basic White base card.

“Happiest Father’s Day” is from the Adventurous Sky stamp set (#163439) and also Copper embossed. A Something Fancy die (#160424) was used to cut the sentiment. I used a Stylish Shapes die (#159183) to cut the Pecan Pie card which I attached to the sentiment. The sentiment and the truck were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The retired Adhesive-Backed Cork Rounds were added to the card.

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads!!

Splendid Thoughts Bundle

Hello everyone,

Products from the new Mini catalogue and Sale-a-bration  are now available. Some of the Sale-a-bration products co-ordinate with products from the mini catalogue including the Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam Cards & Envelopes (#159940) and the Splendid Day Suite (#159681) which I have used for this card today. The card bases are in the 2 colours with co-ordinating envelopes as shown below. The envelopes have a beautiful design on the flap as well as the insert.

On the green card I stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) and I used Balmy Blue ink (#147105) on the blue card. For the stamped leaf I stamped on Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) and Balmy Blue card (#147007).

I stamped the stem of leaves onto the Pearlescent Specialty Paper (#154291) with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Copper Stampin’ Emboss powder (#155555). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). All the stamped images are from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set (#159668) and cut with the Splendid Stems Dies (#159676). For the fine die cuts I used the Rose Gold 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#159139). There are 3 gorgeous foils in this pack with iridescent, matte & metallic finishes. I also cut one of the leaves with Vellum (#106584). All the papers for the fine die cuts were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting.

“Let’s celebrate” is also from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set and copper embossed. The die to cut this is from the Splendid Stems dies. The banner under the sentiment was cut with a die from the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183) and I used the gorgeous Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159666). The Brushed Metallic Dots (#156506) were added to the card Soft Sea Foam Card and the retired Polished Dots for the blue card.

Botanical Bliss with Hold Onto Hope

Hello Ladies & Guys,

I’m disappointed that the beautiful Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder (#151503) is retiring so I am using it as much as I can. However there are some new exciting folders in the next catalogue which I will be looking forward to using.

All the cardstock is Very Vanilla (#106550). After embossing the card front I lightly dragged the VersaMark ink pad (#102283) over the card, then sprinkled it with the Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#141636). I didn't want an even cover, so if there were areas with too much powder, I used a small brush to remove some powder before setting it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The edges were sponged with Poppy Parade ink (#147050). The 1/4” Copper Trim (#144179) is a loose weave trim which allows you to pull it to open it out to a wider ribbon, which is what I have done here before attaching it to the card. The leaves from Hold Onto Hope stamp set (#145780) were stamped with Call Me Clover ink (#147139) and cut with the co-ordinating die from the Cross Of Hope Dies (#145654). The flowers are from the Botanical Bliss stamp set (#146612) and I stamped these with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) then fussy cut them. I coloured the flowers with Stampin’ Blends - Poppy Parade Combo (#147275), Mango Melody Combo (#147945) and Light Shaded Spruce (#147936). The sentiment is from the Botanical Bliss stamp set and stamped with Poppy Parade ink. I used a die from the Stitched Labels Dies (#146828) to cut the sentiment. The leaves, yellow flower and sentiment were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and the embellishments are the Gilded Gems (#152478). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897) to add a little sparkle to parts of the flowers.

The retiring products here are Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder, Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder, Hold Onto Hope stamp set, Cross Of Hope Dies, Botanical Bliss stamp set, Stitched Labels Dies, Call Me Clover ink and the 1/4” Copper Trim.

You may have noticed in the retiring list that the Stampin’ Blends are included, but don’t stress they aren’t retiring. Currently they can be purchased separately but in future will only be sold in a combo with the light and dark, so the product numbers will be different.

Stay safe & keep crafting!!
