Everyday Details

Hi everyone,

I have used the Everyday Details stamp set (#162861) and the Everyday Details dies (#162864) on this card today.

I stamped the teacup image from the Everyday Details stamp set with Tuxedo Black memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). This was coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Boho Blue (#161659), Lost Lagoon (#161680) and Poppy Parade (#154958). The sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Poppy Parade ink (#147050).

I used the Everyday Details dies to cut the 2 stamped images. The Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper (#161467) was matted with the Poppy Parade card (#121694), then attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment & teacup were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). That was an easy card!!

Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper

Hi stamping friends,

On page 22 of the Annual catalogue, you will find a range of card templates if you are wanting some inspiration for a card. I have used one of these templates for today’s card. You can copy the template exactly or make changes, there are no rules.

The 2 pieces of DSP are from the Unbounded Beauty 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#163378). The strips of DSP for the background measure 12.5cm x 2.5cm. These were taped to the Basic White card front (#159228). I cut the Basic White and DSP rectangles with dies from the Everyday Details Dies (#162864) and attached them to the card front.

I stamped the flowers from the Flowers Of Beauty stamp set (#163374) onto Petunia Pop card (#163802). I used VersaMark (#102283) and White Wow! Embossing Powder (#165679), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The leaves from the same stamp set were stamped with Summer Splash ink (#163809). The flowers & leaves were cut with the Flowers Of Beauty dies (#163375).

“Happy Birthday” from Translucent Florals stamp set (#162243) was stamped with Petunia Pop ink (#163811) and the circles were cut with the Everyday Details Dies.

The flowers & sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The gems are from the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems (#163781). I added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the flowers.

Unbounded Love dies

Hi stamping friends,

I have used 3 of my favourite things on this card - butterflies, purple & gold.

The Nature’s Sweetness 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162616) was matted with Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) and attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). An Everyday Details die (#162864) was used to create the design in the strip of Gorgeous Grape card then this was attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

An Unbounded Love die (#163383) was used to cut the Gold Foil (#132622). This was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). The sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099). This was also cut with the same die and placed inside the gold die cut.

The butterfly is from the Paper Butterfly Accents (#162612). I coloured this with Highland Heather ink (#147103) and Gorgeous Grape ink, using Blending Brushes (#153611). I added some glimmer using the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897). The butterfly was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are the Iridescent Foil Gems (#162842).

Notes Of Nature

Hello,

It is always disappointing when a favourite product is retiring like the Notes Of Nature Bundle (#162640), but we can also look forward to more exciting products in the upcoming Annual catalogue which is available from 1st May.

I stamped the leaves from the Notes Of Nature stamp set (#162630) using Old Olive ink (#147090). The Notes Of Nature dies (#163203) were used to cut these leaves as well as the leaves from the Gold Foil (#132622) and the Old Olive card (#106576). I used Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of the Gold Foil & Old Olive card.

I stamped the leafy image from the stamp set onto the Basic White (#159228) background using Crumb Cake ink (#147116) but stamping off each time for a lighter colour. This was matted with Old Olive card and attached to the Basic White Base Card.

I cut the gold & white floral DSP from the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162616) using an Everyday Details die (#162864) this was taped to the card.

“Happy Birthday” from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set (#161450) was stamped with Old Olive ink. The circles were cut with the Everyday Details dies.

The Old Olive circle and stamped leaves were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The other die cut leaves were attached to the card. I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the stamped leaves. The embellishments are the Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) and Gold Festive Pearls (#159963).

Paper Butterfly Accents

Hi crafty friends,

These beautiful butterflies are from the Paper Butterfly Accents (#162612). The pack contains 40 butterflies, 8 each of 5 sizes. I have used 2 of the sizes on this card. These die-cut butterflies are white so it’s easy to colour them in your choice of colours.

Using Blending Brushes (#153611) I added the Bubble Bath ink (#161664) to the centre of the butterfly. Then I added Boho Blue ink (#161650) and Orchid Oasis ink (#1592140) to the outside. On the smaller butterfly I used a dauber to add the Orchid Oasis to the edges as I only wanted a fine edge of colour. I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add glimmer to the butterflies.

The pattern of dots along the bottom of the Basic White card (#159228) was created with a die from the Everyday Details dies (#162864). I added a piece of the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162616) to the card front and matted this with Orchid Oasis card (#159265).

Using a Blending Brush with Orchid Oasis ink I coloured the Boho Blue Textured Ribbon (#161631). This is an easy way to get the coloured ribbon you want. The ribbon was wrapped around the matted card then attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment from the Wild Ferns stamp set (#162648) was stamped with Orchid Oasis ink and cut with an Everyday Details die. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The larger butterfly was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) along the body. The smaller butterfly was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments added to the body of the butterfly are from the Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs (#161954) and the gold butterflies are from the Brushed Brass Butterflies (#151136).

Inspirational Sketches

Hello everyone,

I just love the bird from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set (#162684) which I have used for this card. Actually I love all 3 images in the set. I’m still making cards for males, however this one again could be for anyone.

The bird was stamped with Orchid Oasis ink (#159214) on Basic White card (#159228), then fussy cut. The DSP from the Softly Stippled 12”x12” Designer Seres Paper (#162975) was cut with an Everyday Details Die (#162864). The DSP is a Sale-a-bration product and co-ordinates with the Stippled Roses Bundle from the new Mini Catalogue.

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with another Sale-a-bration product - the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder which is part of the Softly Sophisticated bundle (#162947) which also includes a stamp set. I matted the card front with Coastal Cabana card (#131302) then attached it to the Basic White base card.

“Happy Birthday” from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Orchid Oasis ink and cut with a Sending die (#159271). The sentiment & bird were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I applied Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the bird to add some glimmer.
