Slim Card Dies

Welcome everyone,

I love making slimline cards and I have used the Slim Card dies (#157965) for the scalloped edge on this card.

I cut the Evening Evergreen card (#155575) and the Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper (retired) with the scalloped die. I matted the top & bottom of the DSP with the Evening Evergreen card and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The birds from Free As A Bird stamp set (#149468) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends to colour this image are Daffodil Delight (#154883), Soft Succulent (#155521) and Crumb Cake (#154882). I added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to give some sparkle to the birds. This was then cut with an Ornate Layers Die (#152726) and attached to a slightly larger piece of Evening Evergreen card.

The sentiment is from the Expressions Of Friendship stamp set (#158460) and stamped with Soft Succulent ink (#155778). The die to cut this is from the Tasteful Labels dies (#152886) and the Evening Evergreen card under the sentiment was cut with a Layering Circles Die (#151770). The flower was cut with the Summer Shadows Dies (#156618) using Daffodil Delight card (#121680) and Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). The gold foil was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) so it was easy to attach to the base flower. The sentiment and flower were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I cut the 3 leaves from Evening Evergreen card, backed with Adhesive Sheet, with a die from the Eden Dies (#157831). The (retired) Garden Gems were added to the card for some bling.

TIP: The Summer Shadows Dies were available during a previous Sale-a-bration so you may already have these,  but if not there is great news, they will be available again in the next Annual catalogue. They also co-ordinate with the Shaded Summer stamp set (#155783).

Eden’s Garden stamp set

Hello everyone,

All the stamped images here are from the Eden’s Garden stamp set (#157823).

I stamped the leaves on the Vellum cardstock (#106584) using VersaMark (#102283), then used the White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I attached the Ever Eden 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159996) to the vellum and then attached the vellum to a piece of Basic White card (#159228) of the same size. I wrapped the Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon (#155780) around the card front.

The leafy image and sentiment were stamped with Soft Succulent ink (#155778). The circles were cut with the Layering Circles dies (#151770) and I used Soft Succulent card (#155777) under the stamped images. The larger circles were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The card front was attached to the Basic White base card. 

The Garden Gems (#159277) were added to finish the card.

The Ever Eden DSP and the Garden Gems are available till 3rd January or while stocks last.

I am taking a couple of weeks off so I will be back with my blog after Christmas. I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year.

Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

The Eden’s Garden Bundle (#157832) will be available in the next Mini catalogue from 4th January. The gorgeous Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159996) and the Garden Gems (#159277) work beautifully with this set, however the DSP & gems are only available till 3rd January, so won’t be in the catalogue. I am sure you won’t want to miss out on these.

I attached one piece of the Designer Series Paper to the Gold foil from the Brushed Metallic 12”x12”cardstock (#153524), then attached this to another piece of DSP. The base card is Basic White (#159228).

I stamped the leafy image from the Eden’s Garden stamp set (#157823) with Soft Succulent ink (#155778). I used a Hippo & Friends Die (#153585) to cut this then dry embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (#156505). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach this to the card.

The sentiment from Eden’s Garden stamp set was also stamped with Soft Succulent ink and I cut this with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820). I cut the gold foil leaves and the label under the sentiment with Eden dies. I had Adhesive sheets (#152334) attached to the back of the foil before cutting the leaves.

The Garden Gems were added to the card.

Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

I have made a Christmas card using the beautiful new Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159996) which is available till 3rd January or while stocks last.

I attached the DSP to a piece of the gold paper from the Gold & Rose Gold 6”x6” Metallic Specialty Paper (#156844). I cut a piece of Basic White card (#159228) with a Hippo & Friends Die (#153585) and attached this to the DSP.

The flowers from the Merriest Moments stamp set (#156353) were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056), then cut with the Merriest Moments dies which are part of the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder (#156385). The flowers were assembled using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430)

The Gold Metallic Specialty Paper was backed with Adhesive Sheets (#152334) then gold leaves were cut with dies from the Eden Dies (#157831).

“Merry Christmas” from the Peaceful Deer stamp set (#156891) was stamped with Soft Succulent ink (#155778) and cut with a Stitched Rectangles die (#151820). This was attached to the label cut from Soft Succulent card (#155777) using another die from the Eden dies. Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to attach this to the card. The embellishments are from the Garden Gems (#159277) which are also available for a limited time.

Don’t delay ordering the Designer Series Paper and Gems as you wouldn’t want to miss out on these gorgeous products.

Eden’s Garden Collection

Hi my crafty friends,

From 2nd November, Stampin’ Up! have an early release of the Eden’s Garden Collection (#160849). This includes a stamp set, dies, Specialty Designer Series Paper, Cotton Paper and Gems.

I adhered Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to the back of the Gold Foil (#132622). I used the Eden Dies (#157831) to cut the 2 pieces of Gold Foil and the Evergreen Evening (#155575) and Soft Succulent (#155777) leaves. I attached the Gold border to a piece of Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159996). The DSP with the lines is the reverse side of the leafy DSP. I attached the DSP with the lines to the Basic White base card (#159228), then attached the other piece of DSP with the gold border. The beautiful Gems are from the Garden Gems (#159277).

The Eden’s Garden stamp set and the Eden Dies are included in the Eden’s Garden Bundle (#157832). These will still be available either separately or in the bundle when the Mini catalogue arrives in January. The Garden Gems, Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Ever Eden Cotton Paper (#159997) will only be available during this early release and while stocks last.

“Sending Hugs” is from the Eden’s Garden stamp set (#157823) and stamped with Evening Evergreen ink (#155576). I cut this with the same die as I used for the gold foil and using the inside of the cut out attached it to the card. This would normally be the piece that is thrown out. I have the “wreath” part to use on another card. 

I attached the leaves to the card using Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The Gold Foil wreath was was placed around the sentiment

Eden’s Garden Bundle

Hi everyone,

I am using the leaves here on this card that I had left from yesterdays card.

The leaves were cut with the Eden Dies (#157831) using the Ever Eden 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159996). The background is also from the same DSP. I stamped the leaves from the Eden’s Garden stamp set (#157823) onto this DSP with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment from the same stamp set was also silver embossed onto Basic White card (#159228). The sentiment and Evening Evergreen card (#155575) were cut with the Hippo & Friends Dies (#153585). 

The die cut leaves were attached to the DSP card front with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I threaded the Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon (#155780) through the sentiment and attached the sentiment to the Evening Evergreen label with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The ribbon was wrapped around the card, and the card front was attached to the Evening Evergreen base card.

The card was finished with the addition of the Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220).

Eden Dies

Hello friends,

Here is another card using some of the early release Eden’s Garden collection (#160849).

Using the larger die from the Eden Dies (#157831) I cut the Ever Eden 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159996). I put the leaf cut out aside for another card and used the outside of the DSP and attached it to a piece of Basic White card (#159228). I then adhered the Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to the back of the Gold paper from the Gold & Rose Gold Metallic Specialty Paper (#156844), then cut with the same die, this time using the leaf cutout. I attached this onto the white card matching it up with the DSP cut out.

“Happy” & “Birthday” are from the Biggest Wishes stamp set (#155052). “Happy” is stamped with Evening Evergreen ink (#155576) and “Birthday” is stamped with Soft Succulent ink (#155778). The Genial Gems (#155500) were added to the card. The base card is Evening Evergreen (#155575).

An easy and pretty card.
