Designer Tags Dies

Hello again friends,

I have used the Designer Tags Dies (#159165) for today’s card to cut the tag, floral image & butterfly.

I cut the tag from Blackberry Bliss card (#133682) then I cut the floral image on the tag. I then put a small piece of the White Glimmer Paper from the Berry Burst, Old Olive & White 12”x12” Glimmer Specialty Paper (#163769) behind the tag so you can see the lovely glitter through the cut out image. This glimmer paper is available from the Online Exclusives. I also cut the butterfly from this paper.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#162189), then matted with Blackberry Bliss card.

I threaded the Silver & White 1/2” Sheer Ribbon (#162149) through the top & bottom of the tag and wrapped it around the card front. The tag was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment is from Thoughtful Expressions Stamp set (#162815) and stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092). I used a die from the Happy Little Things dies (#163709). There are 2 banner dies in this set so is ideal for sentiments. The sentiment and butterfly were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and I finished the card with the Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels (#158987).

Scrapbook page

Hello friends,

I love scrapbooking and I actually started scrapbooking before card making, but unfortunately get very little time these days. I am a very simple scrapbooker as I like the page to highlight the photos not the embellishments.

The background page and the strip along the bottom of the page are from the Delightful Floral 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#162356). The photos were matted with Azure Afternoon card (#161728) and Basic Back card (#121688). Notice I didn't fully matt the photos with the Azure Afternoon card for a different look.

The butterflies and tags are cut with the Designer Tags dies (#159165) and attached to the page with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The other die cuts are cut with a die from the Earthen Textures dies (#161513) and the Azure Afternoon card for these were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

I will add the journaling to the tag to finish the page. The tags were attached together with a black brad from the Round & Square Brads (#155570).

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.

Designer Tags dies

Hi stamping friends,

The Designer Tags Dies (#159165) have been used today on this card. This is another of the retiring products from the Annual catalogue.

These dies were used to cut the floral image on the Basic White card (#159228), the 2 labels and the butterfly. I cut the floral image again with Pear Pizzaz card (#131290) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). I attached the Basic White card front to the Merry Merlot card (#147005). Then I added the pieces of the leaves into the corresponding cut outs.

The sentiment from the Peaceful Moment stamp set (#151595) was stamped with Merry Merlot ink (#147112). I used the Brushed Metallic Card stock (#153524) for the detailed die cut label and butterfly. The labels were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the butterfly with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) were added to the card. The Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was threaded through the labels.

Designer Tags Dies

Hi crafty friends,

2 of the Designer Tags Dies (#159165) have been used on this card today.

I cut the Orchid Oasis from the 2022-2024 In-Color Designer Series Paper (#159253) with a die from the Designer Tags. I stamped “Thank You” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) with Orchid Oasis ink (#159214) on Basic White card (#159228). This was cut with another Designer Tags Die.

The base card is Basic White. I dry embossed the Basic White card front with the Quaterfoil Tile Embossing Folder (#158655) then matted it with Orchid Oasis card (#159265). I threaded the Orchid Oasis Metallic Woven Ribbon (#159199) through the label, then I attached the label to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The butterfly was cut using a die from the Brilliant Wings Dies (#155523) from the Brushed Metallic Cardstock (#153524). This was attached using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the body of the butterfly. This allows you to bend the wings up.
