Dragonfly Garden

Hi & welcome,

I am so pleased that the Dragonfly Garden stamp set (#154411) that is currently in the January-June mini catalogue will be available in the next annual catalogue. This set is great for both male & female cards so very versatile.

The stitching on The Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper (#154558) was achieved with a die from the Stitched With Whimsy Die (#155314). I stamped the floral image and the dragonfly from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) as well as the sentiment from Many Mates stamp set (#152633). Very Vanilla card (#106550) was used for the base card and to stamp the sentiment & dragonfly.

The DSP was then attached to the Basic Black card (#121688) and the Glittered Organdy Ribbon (#147897) was wrapped around the card front. The sentiment was cut with a Tasteful Labels Die (#152886) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The dragonfly was punched with the Dragonfly punch (#154240) and this was also attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) was used to add some glimmer to the dragonfly wings. The Matte Black Dots (#154284) were added to the card.

The only retiring product used on todays card is Many Mates stamp set.

Have a great day.

Art Gallery Bundle

Hi my friends,

I like fancy fold cards and especially easy ones as this one is.

The card is a normal size card then I scored and folded the card front in half, bending it back towards the “spine”. I cut 2 pieces of Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper (#154558) and placed them on the card as shown above. A piece of Blushing Bride card (#131287) was attached to the other side of the card.

I cut the Basic White card (#159228) and Silver Foil sheet (#132178) with the same Ornate Layers Die (#152726). The flower from the Art Gallery stamp set (#154421) was stamped with Blushing Bride ink (#147100) and Poppy Parade ink (#147050) onto the Basic White card. I attached the white card to the Blushing Bride card. Then with the front of the card folded, I placed the Silver Foil cut out in place, directly over the white card, making sure you only have adhesive on the left side of the cut out.

The flower and leaves on the front of the card are also from the Art Gallery stamp set using Blushing Bride ink & Poppy Parade ink for the flower and Mossy Meadow ink (#147111) for the leaves. The flower and leaves were cut with the Floral Gallery Dies (#154316). Happy Birthday is also from the Art Gallery stamp set using Poppy parade ink. I used a Stitched Rectangles die (#151820) to cut the sentiment. The sentiment was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and the flower with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Have a fantastic day!!

Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper

Hello and welcome,

I love the bright colours on the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper (#154558). As usual there are more subtle colours and designs on the reverse but I have chosen to use the beautiful red design for this card.

This designer paper co-ordinates with the Art Gallery stamp set (#154421), so I have added some gold to 2 of the flowers using the Gilded Leafing (#154560). I stamped the part flower image from the Art Gallery Stamp set onto the flowers and some circles from the Comfort & Hope Stamp set (#152509) randomly on the DSP. These were stamped with VersaMark (#102283), then the Heat and Stick Powder (#156110) is sprinkled over the stamped images. Remove the excess powder, then heat with the Heat Tool (#129056). This doesn’t take long. Once it becomes shiny it is ready and it will stay sticky. Gently place the Gilded Leafing over the top and press firmly. Using a firm brush or sponge remove the excess gilded leaf and this can be returned to the remainder of the leaf so it’s not wasted.

I cut “happy birthday” using the Well Written Dies (#151816). These were cut from the Foam Adhesive Sheets (#152815). As these have adhesive on both sides. I attached the words to the card, then after removing the release paper from the top I added the Gilded Leafing on top. I pressed the gilded leafing firmly onto the foam adhesive then using a firm brush removed the excess.

The DSP was attached to the Poppy Parade card (#121694), then to the Whisper White Base card.

Stay safe, stay home & keep crafting!!
