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!!

Sympathy card

Hello friends,

Unfortuneately I need a Sympathy card for a very special friend, so this is what I have made, and was very pleased with the finished card.

I used the Shimmery White cardstock (#121717). I used the full A4 sheet and folded it in half as I wanted a larger card. I used the Mercury Glass Designer Acetate (#150441) and attached this to the base card. I then cut another piece of Shimmery White card to create the “v” shape. I stamped the sentiments from the Hold Onto Hope stamp set (#c151243) and the Woven Heirlooms stamp set (#c149306). These were stamped with Seaside Spray ink (#150889). The leaves are from Hold Onto Hope stamp set and stamped with Silvery Shimmer Ink (#150709). These 2 pieces of card were attached to the acetate. The crosses are cut with dies from the Cross Of Hope Dies (#145654). I used Silver Foil sheet (#132178) for the background cross and Seaside Spray card (#150889) for the detailed cross. I attached the cross to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Have a great day.

Sympathy Card

Hi Ladies & guys,

I needed a Sympathy card so I have used the Cross Of Hope Dies (#145654) and the Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder (#151823), and both of these represent the person that this card is for.

I used a full sheet of the Shimmery White card (#121717) and folded it in half. I embossed a smaller piece of Shimmery White card with the Country Floral 3D embossing folder and I matted this with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). I used the Stitched Nested Labels Dies (#149638) to cut the Gold & white card for sentiment and the pieces under the cross. The cross was cut with dies from the Cross Of Hope Dies and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The sentiment is from the Painted Glass stamp set (#c151243) and stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The Shimmery White card has a lovely shimmer however I added extra shimmer to the embossed floral card using Frost White Shimmer Paint (#147046). 

Have a great day.
