Blessings Of Home

Hello stamping friends,

The Blessings Of Home Bundle (#157939) which consists of the Blessings Of Home stamp set (#157930) and the Flowers Of Home Dies (#157938) is another of the retiring products.

I stamped the floral image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Basic White card (#159228). I used a variety of Stampin’ Blends to colour this - Polished Pink (#155520), Fresh Freesia (#155518), Soft Succulent (#155521), Balmy Blue (#154830), Highland Heather (#154887), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Pale Papaya (#155519), Pool Party (#154894), Flirty Flamingo (#154884) & Old Olive (#154892). The Old Olive was used on the larger leaves but I wasn’t happy with the colour against the other colours so I recoloured them with Soft Succulent and I liked the result. I then added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the flowers & leaves. This was cut with the Flowers Of Home Dies.

Ther card front was dry embossed with one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders (#161598) and the edges were daubered with Highland Heather ink (#147103) then attached to the Basic White base card.

The Fresh Freesia Fine Shimmer Paper (#160428) was cut with dies from the Desert Details dies (#160531). This was backed with Adhesive sheet (#152334) so it was easy to attach it to the card front.

The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The gold Fine Shimmer Paper also had Adhesive Sheet on the back and the dies from the Flowers Of Home dies were used to cut the leaves.

The sentiment is also from the Blessings Of Home stamp set and stamped with Highland Heather ink. A Sending Die (#159271) was used to cut the sentiment and this was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are the Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems (#160412).

The retiring products are the Blessings Of Home stamp set, Flowers Of Home dies, Desert Details dies, Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends, Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends, Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends, Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems and Fine Shimmer Paper Pack.

In The Moment

Welcome everyone,

At this time of the year when the Annual catalogue is coming to an end soon (on 1st May), I tend to look at some stamp sets that I haven’t used in a while and may or may not retire. So today I have used the In The Moment stamp set (#157987).

The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). The Stampin’ Blends to colour this are Bermuda Bay (#154878), Crumb Cake (#154882), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Ivory (#154922), Sweet Sorbet (#159224), 500 from the Medium Natural Tones (#159462) and 1000 from the Light Natural Tones (#159465).

I used a Small Blending Brush (#160518) to apply the Balmy Blue ink (#147105) to the background.

I made the frame using 2 of the dies from the Desert Details Dies (#160531) and I used one of the 3 silvers from the Silver Foil Specialty Pack (#156457). I attached the frame to the  stamped image. The Bermuda Bay card (#131286) was dry embossed with one of the Basics Embossing Folders (#161598) and attached to the Basic White base card. The frame with the stamped image was attached using Foam Adhesive Strips (#141825).

The embellishments are the Adhesive Backed Studs (#160767). The Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used on the clothing & cup for that bit of shimmer.

By The Bay

Hello stamping friends,

This is a very shimmery card using the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack (#160428) and the By The Bay Specialty Designer Series Paper (#160434).

I cut the By The Bay Specialty Designer Series Paper with one of the dies from the Desert Details Dies (#160531). The green paper from the Fine Shimmer 

12”x12” Paper Pack was cut with another of the dies. This was then attached to the Gold from the Fine Shimmer Paper then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The small shells from the Seaside Bay stamp set (#160436) were stamped with Crumb Cake ink (#147116) and cut with a die from the Seaside Bay Dies (#160444). These were attached to the sides of the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The “seaweed” and shells were also cut with Seaside Bay dies. I used the Distressed Gold 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#159237) for these shells, and the shells & seaweed were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

“Best Wishes” is from the Art Gallery stamp set (#158201) and stamped with Soft Succulent ink (#155778). I cut this with a Sending Die (#159271). This die is longer than I wanted so I cut it close to the “B”, then re-positioned the die to cut off the excess on the other end. The sentiment was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Cottage Rose Bundle

Hello friends,

I am certainly no gardener but I do love flowers which seem to dominate many of my cards. This flower on todays card is from the Cottage Rose stamp set (#159040).

I stamped the flower with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Very Vanilla card (#106550). This image was coloured with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883), Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends (#154878) and Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends (#155519). The co-ordinating die from the Cottage Flowers Dies (#159047) was used to cut the image.

“Best Wishes” is from the same stamp set and stamped with Bermuda Bay ink (#147096). A Pretty Pillowbox Die (#156321) was used to cut the sentiment.

I cut the 3 border pieces using the Desert Details Dies (#160531) from the Green Fine Shimmer Paper Pack (#160428). The Very Vanilla card front was dry embossed with one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders (#161598). There are 3 different embossing folders in this set. The borders were taped to the card front, then this card was then matted with the green Fine Shimmer Paper and attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

The floral image and sentiment were both attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) gives the shimmer to the flower & leaves.  The embellishments (sorry I can’t remember where they are from but possibly from a kit) were attached to the card to add an extra sparkle.

Desert Details Dies

Hello stamping friends,

Here is an easy fancy fold card - the Double Z fancy fold card. I have used the Desert Details Dies (#160531) for the fancy frames on the front of the card. This was very hard to photograph so looks so much better in real life.

The base card is Tahitian Tide card (#159262). I cut the piece of A4 card in half (10.5cm) and used the full length of the card. This was scored on the long side at 7.5cm & 14.9cm. Another piece of Tahitian Tide card was cut at 8cm x 26cm. This was scored at 11cm & 18.5cm.

The DSP is from the Dry Brushed Metallic 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#160837). The piece attached to the left side of the card is 9.5cm x 6.5cm. The piece on the right side is 14cm x 9.5cm. The 2 pieces of Basic White card (#159228) are 7cm x 7.5cm.

I cut the Rose Gold Specialty Paper (#159139) for the “frame” with a Desert Details Die (#160531) and another die was used to cut the Dry Brushed Metallic Paper which was attached on top of the frame. This was attached to the smaller Z fold Tahitian Tide card for the card front. This Z fold was then attached to the larger Z fold by using adhesive only on the back of the left side of the “frame” and under the right side of the Z fold to attach it to the card.

The birds from the Pretty Birds stamp set (#158845) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). Then I stamped the colour for the birds with Tahitian Tide ink (#159210). This is a Two-step stamp set, so easy to stamp the 2 images.

“Thinking Of You” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, then cut with a Tailor Made Tag Die (#155563). The sentiment and birds were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I coloured the Pearl Basic Jewels (#144219) with the Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends (#159221) and attached them to the card.
