Encircled In Nature dies

Hi & welcome,

I needed a card for a special birthday so this is what I made.

I used an Encircled In Nature die (#163628) to cut the wreath from the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder from the Softly Sophisticated Bundle (#162947). This is a Sale-a-bration product and this ends on 29th February. The card front was matted with the Highland Heather from the 3 Colour Glimmer Specialty Pack (#162813). I also used this paper for the flowers and small banner behind the sentiment. I used a die from the Dainty Delight dies (#160674) for the flowers.

“Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment and the Highland Heather banner were cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183).

After attaching the wreath to the card I added the flowers with Mini Glue Dots (#152334). The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Inspirational Sketches stamp set

Hi & welcome again,

I love these birds from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set (#162684).

The birds were stamped with Berry Burst ink (#147143) and Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138), then they were fussy cut.

I applied the Shimmery White Embossing Paste (#145645) to the Basic White card front (#159228) using a Palette Knife (#142808) and a mask from the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks (#159178). This was matted with Pretty Peacock card (#150886) and attached to the Basic White base card.

I adhered Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to the back of the Lost Lagoon card from the Soft Shimmer Paper Combo Pack (#161750), then used a die from the Encircled In Nature dies (#163628). These dies will be available from the Online Exclusives from 5th March.

Once the paste was dry, which doesn't take long, I attached the wreath to the card. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the birds.

“Congratulations” from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set (#162617) was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) and cut with a Sending Die (#159271). Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the sentiment to the card. The embellishments are from the Blooming Pearls (#162238).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the birds.

Encircled In Nature Dies

Hi everyone,

I have been playing with the Encircled In Nature dies (#163628) again today for this gorgeous wreath and leaves.

For the wreath I used the Rose Gold Specialty Paper (#159139). This is the iridescent sheet and picks up all the colours depending on the light. The leaves are cut from Garden Green card (#108605) which was backed with Adhesive Sheets (#152334).

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder from the Softly Sophisticated Bundle (#162947). This is a Sale-a-bration product. The edges were daubered with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138). The wreath was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

I fussy cut the birds from the Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper (#162977), also from Sale-a-bration. These were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Best Wishes” from the Sentimental Park stamp set (#160561) was stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink and cut with a Cracker & Treat Box die (#159182) and also attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The embellishments are from the Tinsel Gems Four-Pack (#161623).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the birds.

Sale-a-bration finishes on 29th February so time is running out to get some of these beautiful products with a qualifying order. Check out all the products here - https://www.stampinup.com.au
