Dainty Delight

Hello friends,

All these flowers are from the Dainty Delight stamp set (#161078) and Dainty Delight dies (#160674).

I stamped 2 of the images with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). These were coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Daffodil Delight (#154883), Highland Heather (#154887), Bubble Bath (#161675), Lost Lagoon (#161680), Sweet Sorbet (#159224) & Azure Afternoon (#161672).

The card front is from the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper (#161157). I stamped on this DSP with another image from the stamp set using Lost Lagoon ink (#161678). I cut a piece of the Vellum Basics Specialty Designer Series Paper (#160839) with a circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183) and attached it to the card. The card front was matted with Lost Lagoon card (#133686) and attached to the Basic White base card.

I used Lost Lagoon card, Daffodil Delight card (#121680) and Flirty Flamingo card (#141421) for the die cut flowers & leaves.

“Just A Note” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Lost Lagoon ink then cut with a Tailor Made Tags die (#155563). I threaded the Gold from the Silver & Gold Trim Combo Pack (#161633) through the hole in the tag. I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108), Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to attach all the elements.

I used the Copper from the Metallic Enamel Effects Basics (#161610) for the centre of the 2 yellow flowers. I used some retired embellishments to finish the card.

Decorative Masks

Hi stamping friends,

I have used 2 of the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks (#159178) for the background on todays card. These 2 masks work together or they can be used individually.

Firstly I used Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) and a Blending Brush (#153611) with the first mask then lined up the second mask and used Old Olive ink (#147090). Next time I will use the darker ink first as it will be easier to line up the images.

I used a piece of the Vellum Basics Specialty Designer Series Paper (#160839) on top of the card front as I only wanted a subtle look.

I cut a label from the Designer Tags dies (#159165) from Basic White card (#159228) then dry embossed this with the Timber Embossing Folder (#156406). I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283), (which will be available in the next Mini Catalogue from 6th September), with Old Olive ink. This was taped to the label.

The leaves were cut with a Dainty Delight die (#160674), using Pecan Pie card (#161726) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) and attached to the card.

The corners of the card front were punched with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878), then this was attached to the Pecan Pie card. The base card is Basic White.

This was attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550). The shimmery green leaves and the shimmery purple flowers & square are also from the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack.

This was punched with the Petal Park Builder Punch (#160576).

All the card for the leaves had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) attached to the back before cutting, to make them easy to attach to the card. The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The layers of the mauve & gold flowers were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Nested Friends

Hello friends,

Another bundle which is new in the mini catalogue is the Nested Friends Bundle (#160489). I love that Stampin’ Up! have now named the stamp sets, dies and bundle all the same, so the Nested Friends Bundle includes the Nested Friends stamp set (#160322) and the Nested Friends Dies (#160488). This will make it so much easier to remember the names of the co-ordinating products.

The bird and sentiment are from this stamp set. The bird was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and the sentiment with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094). I coloured the bird with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends (#154958) for the beak.

The bird and nest were cut with the Nested Friends Dies. I used Crumb Cake card (#121685) and Soft Suede card (#119982) for the nest. The green leaves were cut with a die from the Dainty Delight Dies (#160674) using Old Olive card (#106576) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

I dry embossed the Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406). This card and the Old Olive card had the corners punched with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878). This was then attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550).

The sentiment & nest were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).
