Butterfly Beauty Sampler

Welcome friends,

I have used so many of my favourite products and colours in this sampler that I have made for a friend who has just moved into her new home. I think I will have to make another one for myself. I just need to put this into a frame.

The base is from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (#152494). The other cardstock I have used is Whisper White (#106549), Gorgeous Grape (#147011), Granny Apple Green (#147014), Vellum (#106584) and Brass Foil Sheets (#153057).

The stamp sets are Very Versailles (#c149275), A Little Lace (#c149364), Forever Fern (#152559), Free As A Bird (#c149468), Daisy Lane (#c149325), Positive Thoughts (#c151490) and Quite Curvy (#154430).

The inks used are Granny Apple Green (#147095), Gorgeous Grape (#147011), Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (#132708) and VersaMark (#102283) with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109132).

The birds and floral images were coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Highland Heather (#154887), Purple Posy (#154896), Granny Apple Green (#154885), Crumb Cake (#154882) and Mango Melody (#154888).

The dies used were  Butterfly Beauty (#151819), Natures Thoughts (#153586), Forever Flourishing (#152714), Stitched Rectangles (#151820)  and Curvy Dies (#154319.

The punch for the Daisies is the Medium Daisy punch (#149517).

I used the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#151801) under the butterflies and the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder (#152725) under the birds. I used one of the Meadow Moments Embossing Folders (#153126) on the bottom left and right rectangles under the leaves.

I made the bow with the 3/8” Tricolor Ribbon (#149708) and the embellishments are the Gilded Gems (#152478). I added some sparkle using the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) to the birds and flowers.

The adhesives used were the Adhesive Sheets (#152334), Mini Glue Dots (#103683), Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I am having a crafty weekend and I hope you are too!!

Hi friends,

It is very frustrating when you have an idea for a card and it just doesn’t work the way you imagined it. However when you change your ideas and get a lovely result it is all worth the effort. That’s what happened with this card and I love the lovely subtle colours.

The leaves and “berries” are from the Forever Ferns stamp set (#152559) and stamped with Highland Heather ink (#147103) and Pool Party ink (#147107). These were cut with the co-ordinating dies from the Forever Flourishing Dies (#152714). I stamped the background with the splotches from the Forever Fern stamp set, using VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The Whisper White card (#106549) was attached to the Highland Heather card (#147010). The Snowflake Splendor 1/4” Ribbon (#153548) was wrapped around this card, before attaching it to the Whisper White base card. “Thanks” is from the Ornate Thanks stamp set (#149471) and stamped with Highland Heather ink and cut with a Celebration Labels Die (#153570). The Gold Hoop (#152474) was attached to the card front with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the leaves, berries and sentiment. The bow was attached with a Mini Glue Dot and the Gilded Gems (#152478) were attached to the base of the card.

Have a great day.

Hello & welcome,

Here’s a pretty and elegant card which could be used for any special occasion.

I chose to use white and silver and some of my favourite products. I embossed the Whisper White card front (#106549) with the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (#152702). I cut the Silver Foil Sheet (#132178) with the beautiful Ornate Layers die (#152726). After attaching this silver card to the embossed card I wrapped the Silver 3/8” Metallic Edge Ribbon (#144213) around the card front, then attached this to the Whisper White base card. I stamped the leaves from the Forever Fern stamp set (#152559) onto Vellum card (#106584). I used VersaMark (#102283) and White Stampin’ Emboss powder (#109132) for the leaves and Silver Emboss Powder (#109131) for the berries. These were all cut with the co-ordinating Forever Flourishing dies (#152714). I attached them with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). “Celebrate” from the Many Mates stamp set (#c152633) was also silver embossed, then cut with an Ornate Frames Die (#150664) and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) were added to the card.

Hope your day has been amazing!!

Forever Fern Bundle

Hello & welcome,

Instead of the traditional colours on these leaves from the Forever Ferns stamp set (#152559) I have used the blue and silver tones.

I attached the Subtles 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#153072) to the Whisper White base card (#106549). I added a small piece of the Silver Foil Sheet (#132178) to the bottom of the card. I firstly dry embossed this with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (#152718). I also dry embossed a piece of Whisper White card with one of the Meadow Moments Embossing Folders (#153126). All the stamped leaves have been heat embossed. I used Silver Emboss Powder (#109131) for 2 of the leaves. For the other leaves, I stamped each with a coloured ink - Misty Moonlight (#153118), Balmy Blue (#147105) and Seaside Spray (#150085). Then I re-stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and added Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109130) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I used the Stamparatus (#148187) for the stamping. All the stamped leaves and  3 “leaves” from Silver Foil Sheet were cut with the Forever Flourishing Dies (#152714). The sentiment is from the Many Mates stamp set (#152633) and also Silver embossed. This was cut with a die from the Ornate Frames Dies (#150664) as well as the Silver Foil under the sentiment. I added 3 Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#150457) to the card. Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the leaves and sentiment.

Enjoy your weekend!!

Tasteful Touches

Hello everyone,

Here I have combined the Tasteful Touches stamp set (#152562) with the Forever Fern Bundle (#154094).

I stamped the flowers with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099), then re-stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and added Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109130) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I then coloured the petals with Purple Posy Stamping Blends (#154896) and Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends (#154887). The flowers were fussy cut. I stamped the leaves from the Forever Fern stamp set (#152559) using Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) and Granny Apple Green (#147095). The Garden Green (#108605) leaves were cut with the Forever Flourishing dies (#152714). I used Brass Foil Sheet (#153057) for the leaves under the flowers. These were also cut with a die from the Forever Flourishing dies. “Hello” is from the Tasteful Touches stamp set and I used Highland Heather ink (#147103). This was cut with a Tasteful Touches Labels die (#152886). The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). A Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewel (#151193) was added to the sentiment. 

The base card is Purple Posy (#150887), the next layer is Gorgeous Grape (#147011), followed by Whisper White (#106549).

The coloured inks I have used are Cherry Cobbler (#147083), Garden Green (#147089), Terracotta Tile (#150086) and Mango Melody (#147093). The leaf under the sentiment cut from Silver Foil Sheet (#132178) and all the stamped leaves were cut with the Forever Flourishing Dies (#152714). I embossed a piece of Very Vanilla card (#106550) with a Greenery Embossing Folder (#152716), then daubered with the Mango Melody ink to highlight the embossing. This was attached to the cardfront which I had punched one of the corners with the Detailed Trio Punch (#146320).

I have been playing today with this fancy fold card, called a balcony fold card.

The front piece is 7”x1-1/2” and scored at 1/2”, 3-1/2” and 6-1/2”. The inside piece is 5”x2-1/2” and scored at 1/2”, 2-1/2” and 4-1/2”, then I layered the coloured card and DSP. I stamped the leaves from the Forever Fern stamp set (#152559) and they were cut with the Forever Flourishing Dies (#152714). The inks used for the leaves were Soft Sea Foam (#147102), Old Olive (#147090), Granny Apple Green (#147095) and Daffodil Delight (#147094).

Forever Fern Bundle

Hi everyone,

I think I have mentioned before that this is one of my favourite bundles, the Forever Fern Bundle (#154094). In fact the Forever Greenery suite Collection (#154143) has a combination of beautiful co-ordinating products including Designer Series paper, Gold Hoops Embellishments, Gold Laser Cut Paper and embossing folders.

I stamped the feathers from the Tasteful Touches stamp set (#c152562) using VersaMark (#102283) and White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109132). After setting with the Heat Tool (#129056) I lightly daubered over the embossed feather with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). Then I stamped the leaves on the Whisper White card front (#106549) also with Soft Sea Foam ink. All the stamped leaves and berries/flowers are from the Forever Fern stamp set (#c152559). The berries or flowers (not sure what to call them so I will call them berries) have been stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). This was done with the Stamparatus (#148187) as I also wanted to stamp it with the VersaMark and add Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109130). The other coloured leaves were coloured by daubering the ink onto the stamp. For 2 of the sets of leaves I used Cajun Craze ink (#147085) in the middle and Old Olive ink (#147090) on the outside, and for the 3rd set of leaves I used Old Olive and Crushed Curry ink (#147087). I added some glitter to these leaves using the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897). These leaves, the berries and the leaves from the Old Olive card (#106576) were all cut with the Forever Flourishing Dies (#152714). The leaves from the Old Olive card were then Spritzed with Frost White Shimmer Paint #147046). Before attaching all the leaves to the card I embossed part of the card front with one of the Greenery Embossing Folders (#152716). “Happy Birthday” from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (#c151331) was stamped with Real Red ink and cut with a Tasteful Labels Die (#152886). I added the Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#146924) to the greeting. I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the Old Olive leaves and the red berries, and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to add the other leaves to the card as well as the greeting. I sponged the edge of the cardfront with Soft Sea Foam ink.

I hope you have had a chance to do some crafting this weekend.

Forever Fern Bundle

Welcome everyone,

I have made so many projects using the Forever Fern Bundle (#c154094) so here is another card.

The Designer Series Paper is the 2020-2022 In-Color 6”x6” DSP (#153070). The strip under the sentiment is the reverse of the cardfront. The colour is Just Jade. I coloured the 2 tone leaves by daubering onto the stamp with Mint Macaron ink (#147106) and Crushed Curry ink (#147087). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) to add glitter to the leaves. The smaller leaves were stamped with Soft Suede ink (#147115). These leaves and the small leaves from the Brass Foil Sheet (#153057) were all cut with the Forever Flourishing Dies (#152714). The outline leaf is from the Forever Gold Laser Cut Specialty Paper (#152493). The sentiment is from the Forever Fern stamp set and stamped with Mint Macaron ink (I’m still waiting on my new In Color inks otherwise I would have used Just Jade). The sentiment was cut with a Tasteful Labels Die (#152886) and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Have a great day and keep crafting!!

Forever Fern Bundle with Daisy Lane

Hello friends,

I was so pleased with the finished result of this card, very subtle but gorgeous (even if I do say so myself). As usual it looks so much better in real life.

I stamped the leaf from the Forever Fern stamp set (#c152559) onto the Whisper White card front (#106549) using VersaMark (#102283). This was then embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109132) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I did the same with the feathers from the Tasteful Touches stamp set (#152562). Then I lightly daubered the leaf and feathers with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). I stamped 2 of each of the daisy images from the Daisy Lane stamp set (#c149325). Again these were stamped with VersaMark and White Emboss Powder on Whisper White card and I daubered the images with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094). The daisies were punched with the Daisy punch (#143713) for the larger daisy and the Medium Daisy Punch (#149517) for the smaller daisies. For the centre of the daisies I used a die from the Magnolia Memory Dies (#149578) and Champagne Foil Sheet (#144748). The daisy was assembled using Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the whole daisy was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I used the Forever Flourishing Dies (#152714) to cut the leaves from the Soft Sea Foam card (#147012). The Champagne Foil Sheet was embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (#152718). “You are so Special” is from the Tasteful Touches stamp set and I stamped this with Daffodil Delight ink. A die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (#151690) cut the sentiment.

Enjoy whatever you are doing today and keep crafting!!
