Dandy Laser Cut Paper

Hello,

The beautiful background is from the Dandy Laser-Cut Paper (#154300) and I have coloured it using the Blending Brushes (#153611).

The inks used to colour the background are Bumble Bee (#153116), Balmy Blue (#147105), Old Olive (#147090) and Pumpkin Pie (#147086). I punched the circle with the 2” Circle Punch (#133782) from So Saffron card (#108611). One of the Meadow Moments Embossing Folders (#153126) was used to dry emboss the circle.

The dragonfly from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set (#154411) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and punched with the Dragonflies Punch (#154240). I coloured the wings of the dragonfly with So Saffron Stampin’ Blends (#154905) and Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends (#154888), then added glitter using the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897). I attached the dragonfly to the circle with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The Glittered Organdy Ribbon (#147897) was wrapped around the laser-cut paper. “Happy Birthday” from the Art Gallery stamp set (#154421) was stamped with Memento ink and cut with a Floral Gallery Die (#154316), then attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The laser-cut background was glued with the Fine Tip Glue Pen (#138309) on the corners and under the circle and sentiment.

Have a great day!!

Dragonfly Garden

Hello again friends,

I have another sneak peek today, using 2 products from the Dandy Garden Suite (#155981). I chose this set today as I was looking out my window this morning and I couldn’t believe the number of dragonflies flying around the garden.

I stamped the flowers from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set (#c154411) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). This was stamped onto a card front from the Dandy Laser-Cut Paper (#154300). I coloured the image with Stampin’ Blends - Highland Heather (#154887), Granny Apple Green (#154885), Daffodil Delight (#154883) and Poppy Parade (#154958). The cardfront was attached to the Highland Heather card (# 147010), then I wrapped the 3/8” Tricolor Ribbon (#149708) around these 2  cards. This was attached to the Whisper White base card (#106549). The sentiment is also from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and stamped with Highland Heather ink (#147103). I cut this with the Messages die (#154422). This is a large die with various shaped cutouts. There is also a co-ordinating stamp set for this die, but I find that many sentiments can be cut with this die. I used the Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the sentiment to the card.

The dragonfly is also from the Dandy Laser-Cut Paper. I daubered Smokey Slate ink (#147113) on the wings and Black Memento ink on the body, then added glitter using the Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897). This was glued to the card with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). The Pastel Pearls (#154571) were added to the card.

I am going to have a week or so off as it’s a busy time of the year with getting together with (some) family & friends.  So I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and I should be back before the New Year.

Stay safe, relax and hopefully you can catch up with family & friends too.

Dandy Laser-Cut Paper

Hello again,

Things have been a bit busy the last few weeks with Christmas just around the corner, but hopefully things will start to settle down in the next week and I can get back into the craft room again.

Today’s card is another very easy card as again I have limited time.

I have used the Bermuda Bay from the Oh So Ombre 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#155225). I have glued the Dandy Laser Cut Paper (#154300) to the DSP. I glued this using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755) and sponged it over the back of the laser-cut paper. The Coastal Cabana ribbon from the Playing with Patterns Ribbon Combo Pack (#152468) was wrapped around the card front before attaching it to the Whisper White base card (#106549).

I stamped the dragonfly from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set (#c154411) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). This was punched with the co-ordinating Dragonflies punch (#154240). The wings were coloured with the Light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blend (#154904), then using the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897) to add glitter to the wings. 

The sentiment from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set was stamped with Bermuda Bay ink (#147096) and cut with a Stitched So Sweetly Die (#151690). The sentiment and dragonfly were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Now some information about Whisper White cardstock from Stampin’ Up!

Whisper White has been a Stampin’ Up! staple for so long. We love it and we know you love it, too. We are sad to announce that the supplier’s mill producing our Whisper White cardstock has permanently closed due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, we weren’t given much notice on this closure. This means that the technology unique to this particular supplier is now unavailable to us and we can no longer offer our Whisper White cardstock and related products, such as Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes. Please note that this won’t affect any of our other cardstocks, this only affects Whisper White.

We know Whisper White has a huge fan base; we’re big fans, too! And we are crushed that it’s going away. Even though this decision was out of our hands, rest assured that we jumped right into action to find the best replacement paper possible. We have dedicated many hours to source and test alternative cardstock options from several suppliers to find the perfect fit that still maintains the Stampin’ Up! quality you know and trust. We are happy to share that we have found a winner for our new cardstock, Basic White! 

The quality of our new Basic White was thoroughly tested by our quality assurance and product teams. It also tested very well with demonstrators and concept artists who gave it a huge thumbs up. We believe in the quality of the new Basic White cardstock and we know it will become your new crafting staple!

Whisper White card will be available while stocks last and Basic White will be available as soon as it is in stock and not too far away. I am looking forward to using this new card.

Have a great day.

“Love what you do and share what you love”.
