Forever & Always Bundle

Hi again my friends,

Here’s a lovely bright and vibrant birthday card using the Forever & Always stamp set (#154343) for the flowers.

The flowers were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109132) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). These were stamped on Pacific Point card (#116202), Poppy Parade card (#154958) and Rich Razzleberry card (#119981). They were then cut with the Always Dies (#154307).

The leaf is from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (#152493). This is gold on one side and white on the reverse. I coloured the white side by daubering with Pear Pizzaz ink (#147104). I dry embossed the Basic White (#159228) card front with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder (#151775). The edge of the card front was daubered with Poppy Parade ink (#147050). The leaf was attached to the card front with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The Gold Trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (#152475) was attached to the card and the flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) and stamped with Poppy Parade ink, then cut with a Stitched So Sweetly Die (#151690). The Gilded Gems (#152478) were added to the card.

I hope your day has been a fantastic one.

Wildly Happy

Hello friends,

I have a box of unused stamped images and bits & pieces which are left overs from various projects, so they come in very handy when I need a quick & easy card like this one.

I attached the pre-cut Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (#152493) to the Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) which I cut the same size. This was then matted with the Basic Black card (#121688) and then attached to the Basic White card (#159228).

The elephants are from Wildly Happy stamp set (#149408) and the sentiment is from the Borders Abound stamp set (#152627). Both were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I fussy cut the elephants and cut the sentiment with a Tasteful Labels Die (#152886). I daubered the sentiment with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). I added a small amount of colour to the elephants with the Smokey Slate Stampin’ Blends (#154904), then added glimmer with the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897).

Both the sentiment and elephants were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The leaf was cut with a Forever Flourishing Die (#152714) from Pear Pizzaz card (#131290). This was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Have a great day!!

Gold Cards & Envelopes

Hello & welcome friends,

When you want a card for a special occasion look no further than these beautiful Gold Cards & Envelopes (#153532). These Very Vanilla cards have a beautiful gold border so you can decorate it as you wish. They come with metallic gold envelopes.

I cut the Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) with a die from the Nature’s Thoughts Dies (#153586). I wrapped the Snowflake Splendor 1/4” Ribbon (#153548) around the Soft Sea Foam card. “Celebrate” from the Many Mates stamp set (#c152633) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was then cut with an Ornate Frames Die (#150664) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

I attached the Gold Hoop Embellishment (#152474) using Mini Glue Dots (#103683) where they will be covered with the flower. I also added a couple of dots of the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309) under the hoop at the top. The leaves are from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (#152493) and attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots.

The Daisy from Daisy Lane stamp set (#c149325) was also Gold heat embossed. I stamped 2 flowers and when assembling I offset the petals. These were attached with Mini Glue Dots, then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

The gold Wonderful Gems (#153536) were added to the card and flower centre.

I hope you are having a great weekend.

Designer Series Paper

Welcome friends,

We all love our designer series paper, so till the end of October there are a variety of designer papers on sale so a great opportunity to stock up. Check them out here.

One of the packs is the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper (#152495) which I have used on the background of this card. I love the vibrant colours on one side and the softer colours on the reverse of this pack.

The DSP was attached to the Whisper White base card (#106549). I attached the beautiful gold foil pre-cut card front from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (#152493) to the DSP. I find the easiest way to attach this gold foil is to add tape where it will be hidden under the sentiment and stamped image. 

The elephants are from the Wildly Happy stamp set (#149408) and I stamped these with the Gray Granite ink (#147118). I added some extra colour to the elephants with the Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#154882) and Light Granny Apple Green (#154885) for the grass. A die from the Tasteful Labels Dies (#152886) was used to cut the stamped image. “Happy Birthday” from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (#146667) was stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) and punched with the Classic Label punch (#141491). The sentiment and elephants were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The weekend is here once again, so hope you can have a crafty one!!

I stamped the birds from the Free As A Bird stamp set (#c149468) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and fussy cut the image.

“Congratulations” from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

I cut a piece of Whisper White card (#106549) with a die from the Ornate Layers Dies (#152726) and this was attached to the Balmy Blue card base (#147007). The birds and sentiment were attached to the laser-cut gold card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I then attached this to the Whisper White card using tape under the sentiment and birds so it wasn’t visible. The red sequins from the Sequins For Everything (#153556) were glued the the card using the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309).

Have a great day.

Boho Indigo Product Medley

Hello friends,

At first glance at the Boho Indigo Product Medley (#153132), you probably wouldn’t expect a card which doesn’t have any blue in it. However there are dry embossed Very Vanilla card, gold die cut flowers and green & gold leaves included in this set and I have used some for today’s card.

The base card is Very Vanilla (#106550), then the next layer is Garden Green (#108605). The dry embossed card is the top layer. I stamped the sentiment from the Very Versailles stamp set (#149275) using Garden Green ink (#147089), onto the label from the product medley. The Gold Trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (#152475) was wrapped around the card front. I attached the gold foil flower with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The green & gold leaves were glued to the card with the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). The gold laser-cut leaves are from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (#152493) and also glued. Gold Glitter Enamel Dots (#152155) were added to the card, flower and sentiment.

This is an easy card to make as all the pieces are cut ready to assemble.

Have a crafty day!!

Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper

Hello and welcome,

The Flowers For Every Season 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#152486) have a range of beautiful flowers for each of the 4 seasons as well as small patterns on the reverse, giving you a wide variety of choice. The colours are in the new 2020-2022 In colors  which are Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Misty Moonlight, Bumble Bee as well as Poppy Parade and Whisper White.

I cut the designer paper with a die from the Tasteful Labels (#152886) and rounded the corners with the Detailed Trio Punch (#146320). “Birthday Wishes” is from the Butterfly Wishes stamp set (#149346) and stamped with Bumble Bee ink (#153116). The leaves from the Tasteful Touches stamp set (#c152562) were stamped with Pear Pizzaz ink (#147104). I attached Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to the back of the Designer Paper and attached this to the Whisper White card (#106549). The flower is also from the Tasteful Touches stamp set. This was stamped with Bumble Bee ink and then re-stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109130) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I fussy cut the flower and attached it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The die cut leaves are actually from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (#152493). I used the white side and daubered it with Pear Pizzaz ink and I glued these to the card with the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). I find the easiest way to add glue to these fine die cuts is to add some glue to a Silicon Craft Sheet (#127853), then dab a sponge into the glue, then sponge lightly onto the cutouts. The ribbon and gold trim are from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (#152475).

Enjoy your day!!

Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper

Hello again,

Here’s another card using some of the gorgeous new products in the new annual catalogue which is available from 3rd June.

The base card & card front are Whisper White (#106549) and I embossed the card front with the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder (#152320). I cut a strip of Garden Green card (#108605) and used a die from the Stitched Nested Labels Dies (#149638) for the stitched look. I then attached a piece of the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper (#152492) to the Garden Green strip and attached this to the card. The Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (#152493) is where you will find this beautiful detailed cutout, along with a great variety of other cutouts. The sentiment is from the Forever Fern stamp set (#152559) and I stamped this with Garden Green ink (#147089). I cut this out with a die from the Stitched Nested Labels. As there isn’t a die this exact size, I repositioned the die to cut it to the size I wanted. This was then attached to the Gold cutout with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Gold Glitter Enamel Dots (#152155) were added to the bottom of the card.

Enjoy your day and keep crafting!!

Tasteful Textures

Hi,

As I said yesterday, I would show you a sneak peek of some of the gorgeous new products from the Annual Catalogue which goes live on 3rd June, so not much longer to wait to get these great products.

The stamped images are all from the Tasteful Touches stamp set (#152562). I have used Very Vanilla card (#106550) and Mango Melody card (#147013). The flower and the sentiment were both stamped with Mango Melody ink (#147093) and I fussy cut the flower. I used Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) for the leaves and Crumb Cake ink (#147116) for the squares. The gold leaves are from the gorgeous Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (#152493) and the wooden leaves are from the In Good Taste Elements (#152476). I lightly sponged the edges of these leaves with Mango Melody ink. The Granny Apple Green leaves (#147014) were cut with a die from the Forever Flourishing Dies (#152714). I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the gold leaves, wooden leaves and the die cut leaves to the card. Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the flower. The Gold Glitter Enamel Dots (#152155) were added to the card and I also used the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897) to add some sparkle to the flower.

If you live in Australia (and don’t have a demonstrator) and  would like a new catalogue, please contact me so I can send you one.

Stay safe and keep crafting!!
