Serene Love Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

After fussy cutting the flowers from the Serene Love Designer Series Paper (#166261) for the scrapbook page yesterday, I have used one of the single floral images on today’s card.

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the Plaster Painting Embossing Folder (#164656) and matted this with the Pretty Peacock card (#150886). This was attached to the Basic White base card. A piece of the Serene Love DSP was attached to the card front

I used the Country Corners dies (#161471) to cut the Pretty Peacock card and Silver foil (#163387) and these were taped to the card.

The leaves were cut with a Happy Hibiscus die (#164879) from Lost Lagoon card (#133686). These were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are from the Blooming Pearls (#162238). I added some glimmer to the flowers using the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

Eyelet embossing folder

Hi friends,

Today’s card is a variation of yesterday’s card. Instead of adding black ink to the embossing, I sanded the higher areas of the embossing to show the white through.

I dry embossed the Basic White card ($159228) with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder (#163414). Then I coloured this using Blending Brushes (#153611) with the following inks - Crushed Curry (#147087), Gorgeous Grape (#147099), Summer Splash (#163809), Petunia Pop (#163811), Lemon Lime Twist (#147145) and Azure Afternoon (#161663).

Then using fine sand paper, I gently sanded this card so the white is exposed. I splattered the card with Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add some glimmer.

I cut the Basic Black card (#121688), Lemon Lime Twist card (#144250) and Basic White card with the Countryside Corners Dies (#161471). The Basic White card & Lemon Lime Twist card were dry embossed with one of the Basics Embossing Folders (#161598).

“Happy Birthday” is cut with the Wanted To Say dies (#161594) using Basic Black and Lemon Lime Twist card. The Lemon Lime Twist card was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). The sentiment was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The silver Adhesive -Backed Sparkle Gems (#161288) were added to the card.

Another strip of the DSP was attached across the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430), then the sentiment was taped on top.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Garden Meadow stamp set (#162736) and stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083). This was also cut with a Countryside Corners die.

Welcome everyone,

The stamp set used for the flowers and stamped leaves are from the Petal Park stamp set (#160571).

There are 3 flowers on one stamp so I stamped this with 3 different inks as I wanted 3 colours of flowers - Real Red (#147084), Blueberry Bushel (#147138) and Tahitian Tide (#159210). These flowers were punched with the Petal Park Builder Punch (#160576).

I stamped the leaves on the Vellum Basics Designer Series Paper (#160839). There are 3 different designs in this pack and I have used the leaf design. I stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056).

I attached this to the vellum with Mini Glue Dots (#152334) and the vellum was attached to the Coastal Cabana card (#131302). When attaching vellum I use adhesive behind elements so it is hidden. The card front was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).
