Cheerful Daisies

Hello friends,

The Cheerful Daisies Bundle (#161296) has been used for the flower & leaves on this card.

The flower is a Two-Step stamp. I stamped the outside with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) and the inside the petals with Lemon Lolly ink (#161666). The flower centre was also stamped with Daffodil Delight. The flower and the leaves were cut with the Cheerful Daisies dies (#161296). I used Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) making these fine leaves easy to attach to the card.

I coloured a piece of Vellum (#106584) using Blending Brushes (#153611) with Lemon Lolly ink, Bubble Bath ink (#161664), Balmy Blue ink (#147105) and Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). I then dry embossed the vellum with one of the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folders (#159170). I attached this to a piece of  Basic White card, then to Daffodil Delight card (#121680), then to the Basic White base card. The reason I attached the vellum to the white card was to see the colours better.

“Thinking Of You” from The Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Daffodil Delight ink and cut with a Something Fancy Die (#160424). The sentiment & flower were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I added the Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels (#158987) to the card and used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add the shimmer to the flower.

TIP: When I attach the vellum to the card I always ensure I use adhesive only under areas which can’t be seen as it will show through the vellum. I used tape under the flower & sentiment and Mini Glue Dots (#103683) under the embellishments.

Framed Florets

Hello again,

The new early release Fitting Florets Collection (#163129) will be available from the 1st November. This includes stamp sets, dies, Designer Series Paper and embellishments. Some products will be available for a limited time and others will continue to be available in the Mini catalogue in January. More on this to come.

The Framed Florets Dies (#160623) were used to cut the oval of hearts and to cut the inside oval from the Basic White card front (#159228). I dry embossed the Sweet Sorbet card (#159266) with one of the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folder (#159170). This was used to matt the card front and the attached to the Basic White base card.

I stamped the flowers & leaves from the Framed Florets stamp set (#161815) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The flowers were coloured with Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends (#159224) and the leaves with Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends (#155521). 

I cut the coloured flowers & leaves and the detailed leaves with the Framed Florets dies. I used Soft Succulent card (#155777) which was backed with Adhesive Sheets (#152334) for the detailed cut leaves.

“Celebrate” is also from this stamp set and stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink (#159216). A Seasonal Labels Die (#156299) was used to cut the sentiment. The flowers & sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The silver Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was added.

I am looking forward to playing more with this bundle.

Cottage Rose

Hello stamping friends,

Again I have used the gorgeous flower from the Cottage Rose stamp set (#159040). As I said previously, this is my favourite stamp set from this current catalogue.

The floral image and the extra leaves were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Basic White card (#159228). The flower was coloured with Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends (#159224) for the darker areas, then I lightly coloured it with a Blending Brush (#153611) and Sweet Sorbet ink (#159216). The leaves were coloured with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885). I used Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) for the tiny flowers. These were cut with the Cottage Flowers dies (#159047).

I backed the Gold paper from the Gold & Rose Gold Metallic Specialty Paper (#156844) with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), then cut this with the die from the Organic Beauty Dies (#158983). I used the diamonds from this instead of the outline of the “trellis”. To place these diamonds, I placed the outline onto the white card with out it sticking to the card, and adhered the diamonds in place, so they were all attached uniformly.

The top of the card front was dry embossed with one of the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folders (#159170). The floral image was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) & Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The small gold die-cut leaves & flowers are cut with dies from the Cottage Flowers dies and the piece under the sentiment is cut with a Painted Labels Die (#151605). I also used the Gold Metallic Specialty Paper for these. The sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink and cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to attach this to the card.
