Chantilly Lace stamp set

 Welcome everyone,

I have stamped the background of the Basic White card front (#159228) with the beautiful Chantilly Lace stamp (#163683) using Peach Pie ink (#163810).

I dry embossed this with a retired embossing folder (Softly Sophisticated), then matted it with Basic Black card (#121688) and Peach Pie card (#163800). This was attached to the Basic White base card.

I stamped the butterfly from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set (#163490) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Peach Pie card. All the butterflies were cut with the Sketched Butterflies dies (#163491). The 3 smaller butterflies were cut from the Peach Pie from the 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Paper (#163771).

The Basic White and Peach Pie rectangles were cut with the Deckled Rectangles dies (#159173). I cut the Basic Black card slightly larger than the white rectangle and attached these together and taped them to the card.

The sentiment from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and also cut with a Deckled Rectangles die.

The butterflies & sentiment were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add the glimmer to the stamped butterfly. The Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems (#161288) were added to the butterflies.

Hi,

Even though we don't have winter here in Australia at Christmas time, I do love this Winter Meadow 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#162133) which I have used for the background of this card.

Brushed Gold Cards & Envelopes

Hello stamping friends,

How elegant are these Brushed Gold Cards & Envelopes (#162177). They would be ideal for any special occasion.

I stamped the candle image from the Radiant Light stamp set (#162111) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Basic White card (#159228). I used the following Stampin’ Blends to colour the image - Daffodil Delight (#154883), Granny Apple Green (#154885), Shaded Spruce (#154903) & Real Red (#154899). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the candles & flame to add some sparkle.

I used the Deckled Circles dies (#162286) to cut the stamped image and the Gold Foil (#132622). These were taped together then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Love & Joy” from the Merriest Trees stamp set (#162043) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) which I set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with Deckled Rectangles dies (#159173) - (see note below) and the edges were daubered with Wild Wheat ink (#161651). I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the sentiment. The embellishments are Gold Blooming Pearls (#162238).

Note: I didn’t have a die the size I wanted for the sentiment so this was cut in 2 steps. I cut the left side and bottom of the sentiment with a larger die, then re-positioned it to cut the right side and top as shown below.

Fun On Wheels

Hello friends,

I have been asked for some masculine cards so here is one using the Fun On Wheels Bundle (#161216).

The bike from the Fun On Wheels stamp set (#161210) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The co-ordinating die from the Fun On Wheels dies (#161216) cut out the bike.

A piece of the Go To Fishing Designer Series Paper (#161534) was attached to the side of the Basic White base card (#159228). I cut another piece of the same DSP and the Basic Black card (#121688) with the Deckled Rectangles Dies (#159173). The bike was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763). This was also heat embossed and cut with Deckled Rectangles dies. There wasn't the correct size die so I used 2 dies to cut the sentiment to the size I wanted as shown below.

The edges of the sentiment were daubered with Misty Moonlight ink (#153118) then attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Quiet Meadow

Hi friends,

I stamped these flowers from the Quiet Meadow stamp set (#155082) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708).

Before stamping the flower, I added some colour to the Basic White card (#159228). I used Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102), a Blending Brush (#153611) and an Artistic Mix Decorative Mask (#159178). After stamping the flower I coloured it with Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends (#154884) and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885).

This Basic White card, the Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper (#161139) and Flirty Flamingo card (#141421) were all cut with the Deckled Rectangles Dies (#159173) and layered onto the Basic White base card.

“Happy Birthday” was cut with the Wanted To Say Dies (#161594) using Flirty Flamingo card & Basic White card. The Basic White card was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) making it easy to attach it to the Flirty Flamingo card.

I added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the flowers & white Happy Birthday. The Brush Brass Butterflies (#158136) were added to the card.

Perfectly Pencilled Designer Series Paper

Hello,

The Perfectly Pencilled Designer Series Paper (#159244) is a great pack for colouring which I have done here with Stampin’ Blends.

I coloured this DSP with the following Stampin’ Blends - Sweet Sorbet (#159224), Granny Apple Green (#154885), Highland Heather (#154887), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Soft Succulent (#155521), Tahitian Tide (#159221), Pumpkin Pie (#154897), Polished Pink (#155520),  Balmy Blue (#154830) & Flirty Flamingo (#154884).

I cut the layers of DSP and the Basic Black card (#121688) with the Deckled Rectangles Dies (#159173). The 3 pieces of DSP are cut from the one piece. These were taped to the Basic Black card and I attached the black layers with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) and stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink (#159216). This was also cut with a Deckled Rectangles die.

The embellishments are the Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#146924).

A really easy card and if you have limited time you could use DSP that doesn't require colouring.

The retiring products used on todays card are the Perfectly Pencilled DSP, Peaceful Moments stamp set, Polished Pink & Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends and the Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Two-Tone Flora Bundle

Hello again,

I have been playing with the Two-Tone Flora stamp set #160844) again which is where you will find these flowers.

I stamped the flowers on Basic White card (#159228) with Pale Papaya ink (#155670), Fresh Freesia ink (#155611) and So Saffron ink (#147109). The flowers were cut with the Two-Tone Flora Dies (#159181) then I daubered the edges with the same inks.

I stamped the Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) for the background with the Stacked Stone Background stamp (#152556) using VersaMark (#102283) and added the Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This gave the subtle but shiny look to the background which is just what I wanted to achieve. This card and the gold from the Fine Shimmer 12”x12” Paper Pack (#160428) were cut with the Deckled Rectangles dies (#159173) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The leaves are also cut from the Gold Fine Shimmer Paper. The dies to cut the leaves are from the Around The Bend dies (#160649) and the Irresistible Blooms Dies (#161149). The Gold paper was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting with the dies.

“Best Wishes” is from the Cottage Rose stamp set (#159040) and stamped with VersaMark with Gold Stampin’Emboss Powder (#155555). This was cut with another Deckled Rectangles die.

The flowers & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). A Brushed Brass Butterfly (#158136) and 3 small (retired) gold pearls were attached to the card.

I added small drops of the White Pearlised Enamel Effects (#156310) to the stamens of the flowers. Just ensure you leave this to dry as it doesn't dry instantly. I usually add this at the end and put aside for an hour or so.

Rings Of Love Designer Series Paper

Hi my stamping friends,

Another sale-a-bration product is the Rings Of Love 12”X12” Designer Series Paper (#159939) and that is where you will find these cute little birds.

This DSP and the Crushed Curry card (#131288) were cut with the Deckled Rectangles dies (#159173). I used the Night Of Navy from the Brushstoke 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#159250) for the card front. I wrapped the Metallic Mesh Ribbon (#153550) around the card front, then attached it to the Basic White card base (#159228).

“Hello” is from the Biggest Wish stamp set (#155052) and stamped with Night Of Navy ink (#147110). This was also cut with a Deckled Rectangle die. The die I used was too long for this sentiment so when I cut the sentiment, I repositioned the die to cut it shorter as shown.

I often do this when the die is larger than I need.

The sentiment was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and a retired embellishment from the Holiday Rhinestones was added.

Wild & Sweet stamp set

Hi & welcome my friends,

We have the occasional koala on our property (not as many as we used to have visit us) so was very excited to see this cute koala image as part of the Wild & Sweet stamp set (#158775).

I stamped the koala with Smokey Slate ink (#147113) onto Basic White card (#159228). I used Ivory Stampin’ Blend (#154922) to colour the koala, Soft Sea Foam (#154902) & Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#154882) for the tree branches and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885) for the leaves. I also added some glitter to the koala with the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897). I lightly blended the background with Balmy Blue ink (#147105) and a Blending Brush (#153611).

The stamped image & Old Olive card (#106576) were cut with the Deckled Rectangles Dies (#159173). I dry embossed the Old Olive card with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406). I gold embossed the edges of the Old Olive card and the stamped image with VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Stampin’

Emboss Powder (#155555) and set this with the Heat Tool (#129056). See tip below.

I backed a piece of Old Olive card with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting the leaves from the Delicate Edges dies (#159180), then attached this to the base card.

The base card is Very Vanilla (#106550). The designer paper is from the Design A Daydream Designer Series Paper (#159161). This is a Host product so can be used with Stampin’ rewards with a qualifying order. There are 48 sheets in this pack so is great value.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) and also Gold Embossed. A Stylish Shapes Die (#159183) was used for the sentiment. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the sentiment and the Koala to the card.

TIP: To gold emboss the edges of the rectangles, I wiped the edges of the card onto the VersaMark pad, added the Gold embossing powder then set it. If you find that there is too much powder, I used a small brush to wipe off the excess before setting it. If you feel there isn't enough powder, set it first then re-apply the VersaMark & powder and heat set it again.

Vintage Tools with Split Card Textures Dies

Welcome stamping friends,

I have made another masculine card with the Vintage Tools stamp set (#159098).

The base card is Smokey Slate (#131291). I cut the silver foil from the Silver Foil 12”x12” Specialty Pack (#156457) with a die from the Split Card Textures Dies (#159162) and attached it to the base card.

I stamped the images from the Vintage Tools stamp set with Smokey Slate ink (#147113) on Basic White card (#159228). I cut this and the Basic Black card (#121688) with the Decked Rectangles Dies (#159173). The black card was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The planer was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was fussy cut before attaching to the card.

“Happy Birthday” from the Art Gallery stamp set (#158201) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708), then cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820). This was also attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Nature’s Prints Bundle

Hello crafty friends,

I love the subtle colours used on this card using the Nature’s Prints Bundle (#158801).

The leaves from the Nature’s Prints stamp set (#158793) were stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102), Pear Pizzaz ink (#147104) and Old Olive ink (#147090). I used the dies from the Natural Prints Dies (#158800) to cut the stamped leaves as well as the die cut leaves using the Mother Of Pearl Specialty Paper (#157666). The Mother Of Pearl was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting.

The card stock used is Basic White (#159228) and Soft Sea Foam card (#147012). I cut the smaller rectangle of Basic White card & the Soft Sea Foam card with the Deckled Rectangles dies (#159173). I used the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (#156505) to dry emboss the card front and the Fern 3D Embossing Folder (#158804) for the smaller piece of embossed card.

The sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) was stamped with Pear Pizzaz ink then cut with a Beautiful Shapes Die (#158046).  The beautiful Sprig Trinket (#159188) was attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I used Stampin Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the sentiment & larger stamped leaf. The embellishments are Elegant Faceted Gems (#152464).
