Fragrant Layers

Hi everyone,

I have used the flowers from the Fragrant Layers stamp set (#167150) on this card.

The flowers were stamped with Basic Black Hybrid Stampin’ Pad (#166648) onto Basic White card (#166781). These were coloured with the following Stampin’ Blends - Lemon Lolly (#161673), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Darling Duckling (#165288), Golden Glow (#167682) and Shaded Spruce (#154903). This card and the Basic Black card (#121688) were cut with the Everyday Arches dies (#164629). They were taped together then attached to the Daffodil Delight base card (#121680).

“Thinking Of You” is from the Phrases & Frames stamp set (#167581) and stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088). The frame around the sentiment is from the Exciting Times stamp set (#167875) and stamped with the Basic Black Hybrid Stampin’ Pad. The co-ordinating Rounded Rectangle Punch (#167880) was used to punch the sentiment.

The butterfly is from the Extraordinary Life stamp set (#167713), stamped with Basic Black and coloured with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. An Extraordinary Life die (#167718) cut the butterfly. The sentiment & butterfly were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The retired Traditional Sparkling Sequins were added to the card.

Ferns & Flora Bundle

Hi again friends,

A pretty card today using the Ferns & Flora Bundle (#167745), which consists of the Ferns & Flora stamp set (#167739) and Ferns & Flora dies (#168991).

I stamped 2 images of the floral stamp with Smokey Slate ink (#131291) onto Basic White card (#166781). These were coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Bubble Bath (#161675), Berry Burst (#161681) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). I used the dies to cut the stamped images as well as the leaves. The leaves were cut from Granny Apple Green card (#147014) and Nature Walk Designer Series Paper (#166912).

The white card front was dry embossed with the beautiful Floral Spray Embossing Folder (#167946).

I stamped the butterflies from the Bordered In Beauty stamp set (#167555) with Berry Burst ink (#147143) onto Bubble Bath card (#161727). The white embossed card was taped to the Bubble Bath card, then this was attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment is from the Exciting Times stamp set (#167875) and this was stamped with Berry Burst ink. The stamped “frame” is also from the same set and stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was punched with the Rounded Rectangle Punch (#167880).

The stamped floral images and sentiment were attached with Stampin Dimensionals (#104430). The leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#144108). The embellishments are the Dreamy Flowers (#167916).

Botanical Expressions die

Hello again my friends,

The Botanical Expressions die (#168152) has been used to cut the leaves on this card.

I placed the die on an angle to cut these leaves from Basic White card (#166781). I then dry embossed the card with the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder (#167179). As I didn't want the leaves embossed I just put the white card in the folder so it embossed the top area, then repeated on the bottom area. This was then matted with Pretty Peacock card (#150886) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The frame for the sentiment and the 2 sentiments are from the Exciting Times stamp set (#167875). The frame was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was punched with the co-ordinating Rounded Rectangle Punch (#167880).

“Happy Birthday” and “Let’s Celebrate” were stamped with Pretty Peacock ink. “Let’s celebrate” was cut with a Nested Essentials die (#161597). The edges of the sentiments were daubered with Pretty Peacock ink, then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The birds are from the retired Adhesive Backed Dragonflies & Birds.

Exciting Times Bundle

Hi again everyone,

Butterflies & purple are 2 of my favourite things so have used them on this card.

The card front is from the Splash Of Sparkles Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167200) and matted with Gorgeous Grape card (#147011). The basecard is Basic White (#166781).

The leaves were cut with the Delicate Whispers dies (#167505) from Gorgeous Grape card and Silver Foil Sheet (#163387). Both these cards were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), so easily attached to the card front.

I stamped the frame from the Exciting Times stamp set (#167875) using VersaMark (#102283) and I added the Silver powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The inside was punched with the co-ordinating Rounded Rectangle punch (#167880). The sentiment from the Exciting Times stamp set was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099). The frame was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and the sentiment was taped.

The butterflies are from the All Aflutter stamp set (#167564). I stamped the background of the butterflies with Highland Heather ink (#147103), then silver embossed the detailed butterflies. These were punched with the co-ordinating All Aflutter Punch (#167569). The butterflies were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
