Peaceful Season bundle

Hello friends,

“Merry Christmas” is from the Peaceful Season Bundle (#164021). This bundle consists of the Peaceful Season stamp set (#164145) and the Peaceful Season dies (#164020.

I stamped “Merry” with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083) and cut it with one of the dies. “Christmas” was cut from Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) and Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) for ease of attaching to the background.

I cut a piece of Basic White card (#159228) with an Elegant Borders die (#161593), then dry embossed it with the So Swirly Embossing Folder (#163791).

I taped the piece of Regals Distressed Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164037) to a piece of Cherry Cobbler card, then attached the white piece.

I cut the leaves from the Graceful Greenery Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164118) with the co-ordinating Golden Greenery die (#164116). Another die from this set was used to cut the bells from the Season Of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164324).

I attached the leaves and one bell with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The other bell was attached with a Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430). “Merry Christmas” was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are from the Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-Backed Berries (#164119).

Unbounded Love

Hi again friends,

The Unbounded Love Bundle (#163384) has a great variety of sentiments and dies which work well together. There are also some extra leaves which I have also used on today’s card.

The leaves with the outline for the sentiment was cut from Pretty Peacock card (#150886) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). For the other leaves around the flowers I used Lost Lagoon card (#133686) as well as Pretty Peacock card. These dies are from the Unbounded Love dies (#163383).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) and stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052). This was also cut with the die but I only used the inside of the cut out with the stamped sentiment.

The flowers are from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (#161140) and stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink. The Irresistible Blooms dies (#161149) cut the flowers.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was cut along the bottom with a die from the Elegant Borders (#161593), then I dry embossed the card with the So Swirly Embossing folder (#163791). I attached a strip of Flirty Flamingo card to the bottom and attached the card front to the Basic White base card.

The leaves & sentiment were attached to the card. The small flower was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) & Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) for the larger flower.

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the flowers. The Iridescent Faceted Gems (#163368) were added to the card.

Irresistible Blooms

Hello friends,

I needed a special card and always love purple & gold together. It is a larger size using a full sheet of Basic White card (#159228) and scoring in half along the longer side.

I stamped the flowers from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (#161140) using VersaMark (#102283) and adding Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I used Highland Heather card (#147010) and Fresh Freesia Card (#155614) for the flowers.

The “wreath” was cut with an Irresistible Blooms die (#161149) from Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). “Best Wishes” from Layering Leaves stamp set (#161277) was also Gold embossed. I cut this with the same die as the wreath but only used the inside part which fitted into the gold wreath. The leaves are also cut with the Irresistible Blooms dies with Gold Foil sheets.

I cut the bottom edge of the Basic White card with an Elegant Border die (#161593), then I dry embossed the card with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (#161600). I matted this with the Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) then attached it to the base card.

The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#1044430). The sentiment was taped to the card and the wreath & leaves were attached having the adhesive sheet adhered to the back. The Gorgeous Grape embellishments are from the Glossy Dots Assortment (#158827).

The flowers were stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink (#159216) and Crushed Curry ink (#147087).

The leaves from the same stamp set were stamped with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111). The flowers & leaves were cut with the Two-Tone Flora Dies (#159181).

I cut a piece of Basic White card (#159228) with one of the Elegant Borders Dies (#161593), then dry embossed it with the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder (#158655).

I attached a piece of the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237) to the Basic White base card then attached the die cut & embossed card on top.

Nature’s Prints

Hello again stamping friends,

For this card I have used the Nature’s Prints stamp set (#158793) for the leaves and the sentiment. When I started this card I had imagined a totally different card but am really happy with how the final card looks.

I used Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) for the sentiment and the smaller leaves at the back. The fern leaves were stamped with Lost Lagoon ink (#161678). The leaves and sentiment were cut with the co-ordinating Natural Prints dies (#158800).

I cut the border of the Basic White base card (#159228) with an Elegant Borders die (#161593). I dry embossed a piece of Basic White card with one of the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folders (#157980) and attached it to the card.

The smaller leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the fern & sentiment.

The Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper (#161139) was attached to the base card.

I have cut the Basic White card (#159228) with the die. The sentiment from the Dainty Delight stamp set (#161078) was stamped with Orchid Oasis ink (#159214).
