Mini Alphabet Dies

Hello Stamping friends,

I have just had a fabulous couple of days at Stampin’ Up! On Stage I’m Melbourne. There are lots of new products coming soon in the next Annual catalogue and here is a sneak peek of the cover (can’t show you inside yet).

Now to today’s card. I have used the Mini Alphabet Dies (#162934) for “Thanks”. These were cut from Pretty Peacock card (#150886) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The 2 designs of DSP is from the Forever Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162573). I cut a piece from the right side of the Very Vanilla Base card (#106550). I matted the DSP for the front of the card with Gold Foil sheet (#132622) and attached it to the card. I added a strip of DSP on the right side of the “inside” of the base card. Then I attached the letters to this DSP.

I stamped the flower from the Lifetime Of Love stamp set (#162574) with VersaMark (#102283) and added Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I used a die from All That Dies (#159078) to cut this and attached it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Forever Love Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

This beautiful flower has been fussy cut from the Forever Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162573).

I cut another piece of the DSP with a die from the Designer Tags dies (#159165). The Very Vanilla card front (#1106550) was dry embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (#161600) and matted with Pretty Peacock card (#150886). The base card is also Very Vanilla.

I daubered the edges of the die-cut tag with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) and taped it to the card. The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment is from the Everyday Details stamp set (#162861) and stamped with Pretty Peacock ink. I cut this with a Deckled Circles die (#162286) and this was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are from the Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems (#162587). The ribbon is from the Silver & Gold Trim Combo (#161633).

I will be away for a few days, so will be back soon with some more fun cards.

Forever Love Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello again my friends,

The Forever Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162573) is another beautiful DSP and I have used it for the flowers, leaves and the background behind the flowers.

The flowers were fussy cut and the leaves were cut with a Lifetime Of Love die (#162583). There are also other designs in the DSP that can be cut with the dies.

The sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083). This and the other piece of DSP were cut with Everyday Details dies (#162864) and I matted these with Pretty Peacock card (#150886).

The Very Vanilla card front (#106550) was dry embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#162189) and also matted with Pretty Peacock card, then attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

I taped the larger die-cut rectangle to the card front. The flowers and sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The Pretty Peacock embellishments are from the Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems (#162587).

Lifetime Of Love Bundle

Hi my friends,

Today you can buy from the new Mini Catalogue and get some free products from Sale-a-bration. There are so many gorgeous products in both these catalogues. For this card I have used the Lifetime Of Love Bundle (#162584) and the Forever Love 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162573).

The Pretty Peacock & Gold flowers are from the DSP and cut with a co-ordinating die from the Lifetime Of Love Dies (#162583). I love when the dies co-ordinate with images in the DSP.

I stamped the same floral image from the Lifetime Of Love stamp set (#162574) onto Very Vanilla card (#106650) with Lost Lagoon ink (#161678). I then dry embossed this card with one of the Basics Embossing Folders (#161598). I matted this with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) and Pretty Peacock card (#150886). I punched the corners with the Very Best Trio punch (#159878). The base card is also Very Vanilla.

I cut the fine leaf wreath and the 3 leaves using dies from the Lifetime Of Love dies. This Lost Lagoon card (#133686) was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting with the die. These were attached to the card front. The die cut flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I cut “Celebrate” using dies from the Wanted To Say dies (#161594) with Pretty Peacock Card and Gold Foil sheet. The gold Foil was also backed with Adhesive Sheet. I use adhesive sheet when cutting any fine detailed pieces as it is so much easier to attach them to the card. The small gold flowers are also cut with the Lifetime Of Love dies.

Lifetime Of Love Bundle

Hi friends,

I am highlighting more of the new products from the upcoming Mini catalogue and Sale-a-bration. I was given a beautiful card recently from a friend (thanks Judy) using this fancy fold so just had to make one.

The card base is the normal size - 21cm x 14.9cm. This was scored along the long side - 6.5cm from the left and 4 cm from the right. The Designer Series Paper is from the gorgeous Forever Love 12”X12” Specialty DSP (#162573) and attached to the front flaps.

I cut the Pretty Peacock card (#150886) and Very Vanilla card (#106550) with Scalloped Contours dies (#155560). I dry embossed the Very Vanilla card with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder (#162947). This is part of the Softly Sophisticated bundle which also includes a stamp set and a free Sale-a-bration product.

I stamped the floral images from the Lifetime Of Love stamp set (#162574) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). These were coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Lost Lagoon (#161680), Daffodil Delight (#154883) and Ivory (#154922).

The flowers and leaves were cut with the Lifetime Of Love dies (#162583). I used Lost Lagoon card (#133686) for the leaves.

“Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052), then cut with a retired Pretty Pillowbox die.

The sentiment & flowers were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the flowers.
