Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper

Hi again friends,

This beautiful Thoughtful Journey 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#163303) is not retiring, so will be still available in the next annual catalogue.

I matted the DSP with Mossy Meadow card (#133683) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The sentiment & the frame outline are from the Labelled With Love stamp set (#163564). I stamped the outline with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092) and the sentiment with Petunia Pop ink (#163811). This was cut with the co-ordinating Labelled With Love die (#163570). This stamp set and dies are retiring.

The leaf was cut with a Flowers Of Beauty die (#163375) and I used Wild Wheat card (#161734) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). This die set and the Wild Wheat card are also retiring. The leaf was attached to the card front and the sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The birds are from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds (#162743). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the die cut leaves.

There are still many of the Last Chance products (or retiring products) still available so check them out at stampin up.com.au

Flowers Of Beauty

Hello friends,

A simple but pretty card using the Flowers Of Beauty dies (#163375). I think this would also be a lovely card for a Sympathy card.

I dry embossed a piece of Basic White card (#159228) with the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder (#165559) and attached this to the Basic White card front. This was then matted with the Bubble Bath card (#161727).

I used a die from the Flowers Of Beauty dies to cut the leafy image from the Gold Foil Sheets (#132622). This was glued to the card with the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

The flowers were cut from Bubble Bath card and Fresh Freesia card (#155614), also using the Flowers Of Beauty dies. The flowers were attached together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. These were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I added White Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics (#156310) in the centre of the flowers.

“Thinking Of You” from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set (#163490) was stamped with Petunia Pop ink (#163811). I used the smallest die from the Everyday Arches dies (#164629) to cut the sentiment. I also re-positioned the die to cut the left end off to make it shorter. The Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins (from Sale-a-bration, so now retired) were added to the card.

Paper Weaving

Hello & welcome,

Today’s inspiration was from page 110 in the Annual Catalogue using the paper weaving technique. It’s an easy but effective technique.

I made cuts in the Basic White card front (#159228) 1cm apart and 1cm from the top & bottom of the card. I cut 1cm pieces from the 3 colours from the Textured Metallic 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#163772). These strips were woven through the card front, then this was matted with the Basic Black card (#121688). The base card is Basic White.

I cut the leaf with the Flowers Of Beauty dies (#163375) from the white patterned vellum from the Graceful Greenery Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164118). I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach this to the card.

The sentiment is from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Copper from the Metallic Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678) and this was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). A Greetings Of The Season Die (#164112) was used to cut the sentiment. The sentiment was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The small flowers were cut with a die from the Flowers Of Beauty dies also using the Textured Metallic Paper and attached them to the card with Mini Glue Dots. The retired Festive Pearls were added to the centre of the flowers.

Flowers Of Beauty Dies

Hi everyone,

If you are unsure what colours work together, you can check out the Color Theory information on pages 132 & 133 in the Annual Catalogue. For this card I have chosen Monochromatic colours, which are colours next to each other. The colours I used are Shaded Spruce and Shy Shamrock.

The leaves were cut with Flowers Of Beauty dies (#163375), using Shaded Spruce card (#147006) and Shy Shamrock card (#163796). I andhered Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to the back of the cardstock before cutting with the dies.

The Basic White base card (#159228) was dry embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder (#163791) and matted with the Shaded Spruce card. I wrapped the Shy Shamrock Bordered Ribbon (#163787) around the card front. This was then attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) was stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088). I used the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch (#162888) to cut the sentiment and the Shaded Spruce card under the sentiment. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The dragonflies from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds (#162743) were added to the card.
