Forever Fern

Hello my friends,

I love the subtle colours on this card which could be used for a variety of occasions - sympathy, wedding, anniversary or birthdays.

The base card and card front are Basic White (#159228). I dry embossed the card front with the Dainty Diamonds 3D embossing Folder (#152702) and daubered the edges with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102).

I stamped a variety of the leaves from the Forever Fern stamp set (#152559). I stamped each leaf twice. One image was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109131) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). Another was stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink using the Stamparatus (#148187). After cleaning the stamp I re-stamped this with VersaMark and added Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109130) and heat set this. Another leaf was stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109132). I then sponged these leaves with  Soft Sea Foam ink using a Blending Brush (#153611). All these stamped images were cut with the Forever Flourishing Dies (#152714). I also cut extra leaves from Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) and Silver Foil Sheet (#132178).

I then attached the leaves with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I attached a piece of the Metallic Mesh Ribbon (#153550) and the sentiment was placed on top. “Thinking Of You” is from the Happy Thoughts stamp set (#154507). This was heat embossed with Silver Embossing powder, then cut with a die from the Ornate Frames (#150664). A Rhinestone Basic Jewel (#144220) was attached to the sentiment.

Have a great weekend, and hopefully a crafty one!!

Butterfly Gala

Hi & welcome everyone,

Most people know that I love butterflies, so thought I would use some on todays card.

The Whisper White cardfront (#106549) was dry embossed with the beautiful Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (#152702), then attached to Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). To conserve specialty papers like this Gold Foil you can cut a piece from the middle for later use, as you are only needing to see the outside part once the cardfront is attached. This was then attached to the Whisper White base card. Using the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch (#152709), I punched the Crushed Curry card (#131288), Calypso Coral card (#124392), Coastal Cabana card (#131302) and Purple Posy card (#150887). I stamped 3 Butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set (#148580). The large and small butterflies are stamped as1 image but when punched with the Butterfly Duet Punch (#148523) the 2 different shapes punch separately. The butterflies were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). “Happy Birthday” is from the Many Mates stamp set (#152633) and also gold embossed. I cut this with one of the Stitched Rectangles dies (#151820). The die was too long so after cutting once, I re-positioned the die to cut it for a shorter length. The butterflies and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The small butterflies were coloured with So Saffron Stampin Blends (#154905), Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends (#154881) and Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends (#154889), and these were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). A small Gilded Gem (#152478) was attached to each butterfly.

Hope you can have a crafty day.

Stitched Triangles Dies

Hi and welcome friends,

I have used the Stitched Triangles Dies (#152710) to cut all the triangles on this card. An easy card when you have the right tools.

Firstly I dry embossed the Whisper White card (#106549) with the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (#152702), then attached this to the Calypso Coral card (#124392), which was attached to the Whisper White base card. I cut 3 different size triangles from Whisper White card and 2 sizes from the Playing With Patterns 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#152490). I glued the DSP to the white triangles with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755) and these triangles were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The small white triangles were glued to the card. The sentiment is from the Comfort & Hope stamp set (#152509) and stamped with Calypso Coral ink (#147101).

Enjoy your day.

Celebration Labels Dies

Hello and welcome everyone,

The Celebration Labels Dies (#153570) have been used on this card today.

Firstly, I embossed the Whisper White base card (#106549) with the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (#152702). I cut a piece of Whisper White card with a Celebration Labels Die, then embossed this with the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder (#153576). I then daubered the trees with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). The “frame” was made by cutting the Seaside Spray card (#150889) with 2 of the Celebration Labels Dies and this was attached to the White card. This was then attached to the base card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I stamped the dove from the Dove Of Hope stamp set (#153406) using VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with the Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109131) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with the co-ordinating Detailed Dove Dies (#153526) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) to add Glitter to the dove. The sentiment, also from the Dove Of Hope stamp set was stamped with Seaside Spray ink (#150085) and cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820). I added the Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) to the sentiment and added the sentiment to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

These dies are also great for making bag toppers. After cutting, just fold in half at the notches and attach to the top of the bag. There are 5 different sizes of these dies, so you can use them for large or small bags and you can use the longer side or shorter side, as well as layering the different sizes. So many options!!

Enjoy whatever it is you are doing today.

I chose to use white and silver and some of my favourite products. I embossed the Whisper White card front (#106549) with the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (#152702). I cut the Silver Foil Sheet (#132178) with the beautiful Ornate Layers die (#152726). After attaching this silver card to the embossed card I wrapped the Silver 3/8” Metallic Edge Ribbon (#144213) around the card front, then attached this to the Whisper White base card. I stamped the leaves from the Forever Fern stamp set (#152559) onto Vellum card (#106584). I used VersaMark (#102283) and White Stampin’ Emboss powder (#109132) for the leaves and Silver Emboss Powder (#109131) for the berries. These were all cut with the co-ordinating Forever Flourishing dies (#152714). I attached them with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). “Celebrate” from the Many Mates stamp set (#c152633) was also silver embossed, then cut with an Ornate Frames Die (#150664) and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Poinsettia Petals Bundle

Hello friends,

I am enjoying playing with the beautiful Poinsettia Petals Bundle (#p155148) which is now available from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalogue.

I have used Very Vanilla card (#106550) for the base and card front. I dry embossed the card front with the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (#152702) which is currently my favourite embossing folder. I sponged the edges with Real Red ink (#106578). I cut the Red Velvet Paper (#153490) with a Stitched Nested Labels Die (#149638) and attached this to the card. I wrapped the Real Red 3/8” Sheer Ribbon (#153535) around the card. Before cutting the Poinsettias I sprayed the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint (#147044) on some Very Vanilla card. I cut 3 layers of the petals to make up the Poinsettia using the Poinsettia Dies (#153522). I used Just Jade card (#153084) for the leaves. I sponged the edges of the flower with Real Red ink and Just Jade ink (#153115) for the leaves. I also used the Red Velvet Paper for the flower centre. I assembled the flower with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and attached the flower to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). “Happy Christmas” is from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set (#c150513) and stamped with Just Jade ink and cut with a Stitched Nested Labels die and attached with Dimensionals.

There are so many exciting new products in the new mini catalogue. If you live in Australia and would like one please contact me.

I always say that you can make a quick and easy card when you have beautiful designer paper like the Flowers For Every Season 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper (#152486).

Many Layered Blossoms Dies

Hello everyone,

As I said a couple of days ago, I love the variety that can be achieved with the Blossoms In Bloom Bundle (#p154123). I have only used the dies on this card from this bundle but it looks so effective in gold & black, and even better in real life.

I dry embossed a piece of Very Vanilla card (#106550) with the beautiful Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (#152702) and attached this to the Very Vanilla base card. I used the Many Layered Dies (#152684) to cut the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) and the Basic Black card (#121688). I had adhered the Adhesive Sheets (#152334) to the back of both these papers before cutting. The black card was attached to the gold foil, then this was attached to the card front. “Thinking Of You” is from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set (#c149298) and stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). A die from the Tasteful Labels Dies (#152886) cut the sentiment and this was attached to the Basic Black circle which was cut with a Layering Circles Die (#151770) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

Enjoy whatever you are doing today, hopefully something crafty!!

The next layer is Whisper White which was cut with the Ornate Layers Dies (#152726). On top of this is a piece of Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) which was cut with a Stitched Rectangles die (#151820). This is a perfect fit for the Ornate Layers cut out. I then embossed this with the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (#152702).
