Biggest Wish stamp set

Hi again friends,

Again I am highlighting some more retiring products. Don’t forget to check out the Last Chance list https://www.stampinup.com.au to see what’s still available. There are many at reduced prices.

The words are from the Biggest Wish stamp set (#155052). I stamped “happy” onto Country Lace Designer Series Paper (#163415) using Night Of Navy ink (#147110). I then re-stamped it with VersaMark (#102283) and added Clear from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This is easy to double stamp with the photopolymer stamps. For “birthday” I heat embossed with White Embossing powder, also from the Basics Embossing Powders onto Night Of Navy card (#106577).

“Happy” was cut with a die from Something Fancy dies (#160424) and “birthday” with an Enduring Beauty die (#162672).

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#166781) with the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder (#164069) and matted it with Night Of Navy card. This was attached to the Basic White base card.

The planes from the Adventurous Sky stamp set (#163439) were stamped with Night Of Navy ink and cut with the co-ordinating Adventurous Sky die (#163446).

The words were taped to the card and I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the planes.

The retiring products are Biggest Wishes stamp set, Adventurous Sky stamp set & dies, Enduring Beauty dies & Something Fancy dies.

Enduring Beauty

Hello stamping friends,

Co-ordinating with the Enduring Beauty stamp set (#162670) is the Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks (#162673), making colouring of this floral image very easy.

I stamped the image onto Basic White card (#159228) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The first layer of the flowers were coloured with Bubble Bath ink (#161664) using a Blending Brush (#153611). For the darker layer I used Petunia Pop ink (#163811). You can achieve various shades of ink just by applying the ink lightly or adding more ink for a much darker colour.

The leaves were coloured with Shy Shamrock ink (#163808). The image was then cut with the Enduring Beauty Dies (#162672).

The 2024-2026 In Color 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#163777) was attached to the Basic White base card. A Wildflower Designs Die (#163333) was used to cut the Petunia Pop card (#163802) for the “frame”. This was taped to the card front. The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I cut the small detailed leaves using the dies from the Enduring Beauty dies, with Pool Party card (#124391). These were attched with Mini Glue dots (#103683).

“Congratulations” from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) was stamped with Petunia Pop ink, then cut with a Changing Leaves die (#164138) and attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots. The embellishments are Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins (#164970), a Sale-a-bration product.

Enduring Beauty

Hello again my friends,

I have used the Enduring Beauty stamp set (#162670), the Enduring Beauty dies (#162672) and the Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks (#162673) for this very pretty card.

I stamped the floral image with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I then coloured the image using the Decorative Masks. For the flowers I used Pretty In Pink ink (#163807) and I used Summer Splash ink (#163809) for the leaves with Blending Brushes (#153611). As I only wanted very soft colours, I very gently added the colour. You can always add more colour but you can’t take it away if you start too dark. When I used the second mask for the flowers & leaves I added slightly more ink for the slightly darker colour but still used the same inks.

I cut this floral image & the Gold Foil (#132622) for the leaves with the Enduring Beauty dies. The Gold Foil was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

I attached a piece of the Pretty In Pink from the 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper Assortments (#163777) to a piece of Basic White card (#159228), then cut this with the die from the Citrus Blooms (#163294). This was dry embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder (#163791). I also cut a piece of Pretty In Pink card (#163794) with the same die. I cut this in half to allow me to matt the top & bottom of the white card. This was taped to the Basic White base card.

The floral image was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves were attached easily with the Adhesive Sheet on the back.

The sentiment from the Regal Flora stamp set (#164157) was stamped with Summer Splash ink. A die from the Delicate Forest Dies (#162679) was used to cut the sentiment. This was taped to the flowers. The embellishments are the Iridescent Foil Gems (#162842). I added Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the flowers for the shimmer.

Enduring Beauty

Hello friends,

This floral image is from the Enduring Beauty stamp set (#162670). Also co-ordinating with this are the Enduring Beauty dies (#162672) and the Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks (#162673).

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Cute Crochet 3D Embossing Folder (#163792) and matted with the Basic Black card (#121688), then attached to the Basic White base card.

I stamped the floral image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). The flowers were coloured using Peach Pie ink (#163810) and the leaves with Summer Splash ink (#163809). I used the Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes (#160519) to colour the image. This image & the leaves from the Summer Splash card 163798) were cut with the Enduring Beauty dies.

I cut the bottom part off the floral image and taped it to the top of the card front. I then attached the rest of the floral image with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The die-cut leaves were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), making it easy to attach to the card.

The strip of DSP from the 2024-2026 In Color 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#163777) was also attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set (#163490) was stamped with Peach Pie ink. This was punched with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch (#162888). I also punch a piece of Basic Black card with the same punch, cut it in half and attached it to the sentiment. This was attached to the card with tape & Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the flowers. The embellishments are from the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems (#163781).

Enduring Beauty stamp set

Welcome friends,

I stamped this image from The Enduring Beauty Stamp set (#162670) and coloured it with Stampin’ Blends. There is a set of Masks - the Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks (#162673) which can be used to colour this image but today I have chosen to use Stampin’ Blends. The masks do however make it quicker to colour.

I used Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) for the outline. The Stampin’ Blends are Bubble Bath (#161675), Berry Burst (#161681), Lemon Lime Twist (#161682) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). This was then cut with an Enduring Beauty Die (#162672).

For the die-cut leaves I used Lemon Lime Twist card (#144250) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). I added some Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) to the tips of the leaves using a Sponge Dauber (#133773).

The Basic White card front (#159228) was embossed with a Fun Patterns Embossing Folder (#163790). There are 2 folders in this pack and will be available online early March. The card front was matted with Berry Burst card (#144249) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The floral image was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430), then the die -cut leaves were attached.

“Thinking Of You” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Berry Burst ink (#147143) and cut with a Happy Little Things die (#163709). This will also be available online in March. Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the sentiment.

The embellishments are the Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs (#161954).

Check out all the current Online products here - https://www.stampinup.com.au . New online products will be added on 5th March.

Enduring Beauty

Hello stamping friends,

Another beautiful product in the Mini catalogue is the Enduring Beauty stamp set (#162670) with the Enduring Beauty dies (#162672) and used on this card.

I stamped the floral image with VersaMark (#102283) onto Gorgeous Grape card (#147011). Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) was added to the card and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was then cut with the co-ordinating die from the Enduring Beauty dies.

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (#161600). The edges were daubered with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) before attaching it to the Basic White base card.

The leaves were also cut with the dies. I used Silver foil from the Silver Foil Specialty Pack (#156457) and I attached these to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The floral image was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink and cut with a Stylish Shapes dies (#159183).
