Delicate Framing dies

Hello again friends,

I have had a very busy few days, (sorry for my absence), then yesterday we had a vicious storm which has left us and many others without power. Luckily we didn't have any damage, just a part of a tree down and lots of debris. So now I am back in the craft room.

I have used the Delicate Framing Dies (#167026) on this card. There are 11 dies in this set as shown below.

I used Basic Black card (#121688) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) for these die cuts. I like to use this for all the finer die cuts making it easy to attach to the card. They were attached to the Crushed Curry card (#131288). The card front was attached to the Basic Black base card.

The sentiment is from the Peace On Earth stamp set (#165918) and stamped with Crushed Curry ink (#147087). I cut this with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183), then matted it with Basic Black card. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The flower is from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) and stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I coloured it with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends (#163826). Mini Glue Dots (#103683) were used to attach the flower

With You In Mind

Hello friends,

The With You In Mind stamp set (#164747) has 4 larger sentiments - Happy Birthday, Best Wishes, Thank You and Thinking Of You, which are sentiments I use regularly so a very handy stamp set.

I stamped the sentiment with VersaMark (#102283) and used the Copper Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). A Stylish Shapes die (#159183) was used to cut the circle.

The card front from the Gathering Together 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165969) was attached to the Shade Spruce card (#147006) and only showing 2 sides. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I stamped the floral & leaf images from the Extraordinary Flora Stamp set (#165243) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card. This was cut with the co-ordinating Extraordinary Flora die (#165244). The leaves were coloured with Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends (#154903). For the flowers I used Blackberry Bliss (#154877) and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883).

The leaves were cut with a variety of dies - the larger leaves from Thankful Garden (#165533), and the small ones from the Year Of Flowers (#165374). The cardstock used for the leaves is Shaded Spruce, Shy Shamrock (#163796), Daffodil Delight (#121680) and Pecan Pie (#161726).

The larger leaves were attached using Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the smaller leaves were backed with Adhesive Sheets (#152334). The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the stamped & coloured flowers & leaves were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and Mini Glue Dots. The embellishments are from the retired Tinsel Gems Three pack.

Beautiful Motifs dies

Hi again friends,

Some of the dies in the Beautiful Motifs dies (#165205) only partially cut out an image like these leaves, which I cut on Thoughtful Journey 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#163303).

The stamped flowers & leaves are from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) and I stamped these with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). They were coloured with Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends (#161680) and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883). The Extraordinary Flora die (#165244) was used to cut the images.

I used Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) to stamp “Happy Birthday” from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283). This was cut with a Beautiful Butterflies die (#164614).

The Pretty Peacock card (#150886) was dry embossed with the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder (#165559), then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781). The DSP with the die cut leaves was taped to the card. The flowers & leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the die cut leaves. The dragonflies are from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds (#162743).

Extraordinary Flora Bundle

Hi everyone,

A fantastic new product in the Annual Catalogue (pages 84 & 85) is the Extraordinary Flora Bundle (#165245) along with the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape. This Washi Tape is 8.3cm wide (3-1/4”) with florals that can be cut out with the Extraordinary die (#165244). The patterns on the tape alternate between pink & purple. This tape is so versatile. You could use it for a background, attach it to cardstock or window sheets and cut it out with the die.

I attached the Washi Tape to Basic White card (#166781) with both the pink & purple flowers. This was then cut with the die.

I dry embossed the Basic White card front with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder (#161600) and matted it with the Coastal Cabana card (#131302). This was attached to the Basic White base card. The DSP from the Woven Textures 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#165560) was attached to the card front.

I arranged a range of the cut Washi Tape flowers & leaves to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) & Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“With Love” from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) was stamped with Coastal Cabana ink (#147097) and cut with the More Messages die (#165472) and attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The embellishments are (retired) 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems.

The Extraordinary Flora stamp set has the floral images to same as the Washi tape, then you can stamp & colour them as you wish, or even use them as a background.
