Slim Card Dies

Welcome everyone,

I love making slimline cards and I have used the Slim Card dies (#157965) for the scalloped edge on this card.

I cut the Evening Evergreen card (#155575) and the Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper (retired) with the scalloped die. I matted the top & bottom of the DSP with the Evening Evergreen card and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The birds from Free As A Bird stamp set (#149468) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends to colour this image are Daffodil Delight (#154883), Soft Succulent (#155521) and Crumb Cake (#154882). I added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to give some sparkle to the birds. This was then cut with an Ornate Layers Die (#152726) and attached to a slightly larger piece of Evening Evergreen card.

The sentiment is from the Expressions Of Friendship stamp set (#158460) and stamped with Soft Succulent ink (#155778). The die to cut this is from the Tasteful Labels dies (#152886) and the Evening Evergreen card under the sentiment was cut with a Layering Circles Die (#151770). The flower was cut with the Summer Shadows Dies (#156618) using Daffodil Delight card (#121680) and Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). The gold foil was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) so it was easy to attach to the base flower. The sentiment and flower were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I cut the 3 leaves from Evening Evergreen card, backed with Adhesive Sheet, with a die from the Eden Dies (#157831). The (retired) Garden Gems were added to the card for some bling.

TIP: The Summer Shadows Dies were available during a previous Sale-a-bration so you may already have these,  but if not there is great news, they will be available again in the next Annual catalogue. They also co-ordinate with the Shaded Summer stamp set (#155783).

Mother Of Pearl Specialty Paper

Hi crafty friends,

I wanted to stamp an image on the gorgeous Mother Of Pearl Specialty Paper (#157666) so I used the StazOn Jet Black ink (#101406). This is a permanent ink for non porous surfaces so works perfectly on this paper.

I used the birds from Free As A Bird stamp set (#149468) and cut it with a die from the Hippo & Friends Dies (#153585). I then used the same die to cut a piece of Pacific Point card (#116202). I cut this in half horizontally and attached it the the back of the birds. 

Happy Birthday from the Art Gallery stamp set (#158201) was stamped with Pacific Point ink (#147098). I cut the sentiment and the Pacific Point card under the sentiment with a die from the Tasteful Labels Dies (#152886).

I dry embossed the Silver Foil from the Blue Foils Specialty Paper (#159983) with the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder (#152725) and matted this with the Pacific Point card. I coloured the White Glittered Organdy Ribbon (#156408) using a Blending Brush (#153611) and Pacific Point ink. This was wrapped around the card front before it was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). The embellishments are the Elegant Faceted Gems (#152464).

The retiring products on this card are the Free As A Bird stamp set, Ornate Floral Embossing Folder, Tasteful Labels Dies and the Hippo & Friends Dies.

Free As A Bird stamp set

Hello stamping friends,

These birds from the Free As A Bird stamp set (#149468) are still one of my favourite images and can be used for a variety of cards.

The stitching on the Pale Papaya card (#155669) was achieved with the Stitched Greenery Die (#155451). This was matted with Pumpkin Pie card (#108601), then attached to the Basic White base card.

I cut the triangles with a Stitched Triangles Die (#152710) and attached these to the card front. “Best Wishes” from the Art Gallery stamp set (#158201) was stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink (#147086) and cut with a Tasteful Labels Die (#152886). The birds and sentiment were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The Clear shapes from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials (#155567) were added to 4 of the triangles.

Free As a Bird stamp set

Hi & welcome again,

These cute little birds and the sentiment are from the Free As A Bird stamp set (#148468).

The cardstock is Very Vanilla (#106550) and Be Dazzling Specialty Paper which was one of the Sale-a-bration products. I dry embossed the card front with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317) and daubered the edges with Real Red ink (#147084). The Be Dazzling Specialty Paper and the Very Vanilla on top were cut with dies from the Scalloped Contours (#155560).

I stamped the birds with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends to colour this image are Granny Apple Green (#154885), Crumb Cake (#154882), Poppy Parade (#154958), Pool Party (#154894), Pale Papaya (#155519), Fresh Freesia (#155518) and Daffodil Delight (#154883). 

I wrapped the Real Red Double-Stitched Satin Ribbon (#151155) around the card front then I attached the stamped card to the Be Dazzling Paper with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The sentiment was stamped with Real Red ink and cut with a die from the Seasonal Labels (#156299). The Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#146924) were added to finish the card.

Cork Specialty Paper

Hi everyone,

Today I wanted to see if I could stamp on the new Cork 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#156393).

I thought the image from Free As A Bird stamp set (#149468) would look great on this cork paper. I stamped it with the Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and it worked beautifully. I did use the Stamparatus (#148187) so I could stamp a second time due to the slight unevenness of this cork paper. I mounted this onto a piece of Mossy Meadow card (#133683).

The base card and card front are Very Vanilla (#106550). I dry embossed the card front with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder (#152725). The Mossy Meadow DSP from the Neutrals 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#155226) was attached to the cardfront.

“Happy Birthday” from Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111), then cut with the banner die from the Bloom Dies (#155989). The sentiment and birds were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Free As A Bird

Hi & welcome friends,

Today’s card is a variation from yesterday’s card. I used the Very Vanilla card (#106550) that was left after cutting the oval for the sentiment for that card. This oval was cut with a Layering Ovals Die #(151771).

I stamped part of the image from the Beauty Abounds Stamp set (#148726) around the edges of the card. This was stamped with Soft Suede ink (#147115). I blended the Crumb Cake ink (#147116) and Soft Suede ink using a Blending Brush (#153611) around the Very Vanilla card.

On another piece of Very Vanilla card I stamped the birds from Free As A Bird stamp set  (#149468) using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (#132708). To colour this I used the following Stampin’ Blends - Seaside Spray (#154901), Petal Pink (#154893), So Saffron (#154905), Purple Posy (#154896), Pumpkin Pie (#154897), Granny Apple Green (#154885) and Crumb Cake (#154882)

Using 2 of the Layering Ovals Dies I cut the scalloped oval from the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) and attached this over the cut out oval of the Very Vanilla card. I attached this card onto a piece of Gold Foil with the middle removed. I attached the card front to the card with the birds using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430), then attached the whole piece to the Very Vanilla base card.

Happy Birthday is from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (#151331) and stamped with Soft Suede ink. An Ornate Frames die (#150664) was used to cut the sentiment and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A retired piece of gold trim was attached to the label.

Enjoy your day!!

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.

Stitched All Around

Hi friends,

The Stitched All Around stamp set (#c151287) and the co-ordinating Stitched Labels Dies (#146828) are retiring, so are used on this card featuring more retiring products.

The Whisper White card (#106549) is 10.5cm x 24cm and scored at 14.9cm on the long side, so the front of the card is shorter than the back of the card. I stamped the piece of Whisper White for the inside using a sentiment from the Stitched All Around stamp set. I used Bermuda Bay ink (#147096). The crosses on the bottom of the inside card and the card front are cut with a die from the Stitched Labels Dies. I stamped the birds and the individual flowers from Free As A Bird stamp set (#149468) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The flowers were fussy cut and the birds cut with another die from the Stitched Labels Dies. The images were coloured with the following Stampin’ Blends - Highland Heather Combo (#147276), Balmy Blue Combo (#148544), Calypso Coral Combo (#144045), Light Bermuda Bay (#144580), Light Real Red (#147933), Light Soft Suede (#146874) and Dark Mango Melody (#147944). I also coloured the Pearl Basic Jewels (#144220) with the Dark Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends. The Designer Series Paper is from Birthday Bonanza (#151313) and the detailed label was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals(#104430).

I love when I sit down to make a card and have no idea what I am going to do and suddenly end up with a gorgeous card like this one. It does help when Stampin’ Up! have such beautiful products to use.

The card base is Seaside Spray (#150889). The next layer is also Seaside Spray which I embossed with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder (#149634). Then I sponged this with Seaside Spray ink (#150085) to highlight the embossing. The birds from Free As A Bird stamp set (#149468) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Whisper White card (#106549). I coloured the image with Stampin’ Blends.

I cut this with the Ornate Layers Dies (#152726). I wrapped the Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon (#150446) around the card, then attached the White card using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). “Sent with Love” is from the Itty Bitty Greetings (#151331), then cut with an Ornate Frames Die (#150664).

Free As A Bird

Hello again,

As you know, I love to use embossing folders, embossing powders and dies on most of my cards, so today I challenged myself not to use any of these with this simple stamping card.

I brayered on WhisperWhite card (#106549) using Seaside Spray ink (#150085), Grapefruit Grove ink (#147142), So Saffron ink (#147109) and Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). The bird image from Free As A Bird stamp set (#c149468) and “Happy Birthday” from Perennial Birthday stamp set (#151240) were both stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The card front was attached to Basic Black card (#121688) then onto Grapefruit Grove card base (#146995). I couldn’t resist adding some Iridescent Sequins (#144212) to the card.

Today’s job in self isolation was to clean out and de clutter some cupboards as well as sorting out the freezer. Another productive day.

Stay safe and keep crafting!

Lasting Elegance Dies

Welcome Ladies & Guys,

The Lasting Elegance Dies (#151475) were used to cut the detailed floral at the bottom of the card as well as the border at the top and sides. I love the elegance of these dies.

After the Whisper White card (106549) was cut with the dies, it was attached to the Blueberry Bushel base card (#146991). I stamped the birds from Free As A Bird stamp set (#c149468) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). This was fussy cut and then coloured with Stampin’ Blends. The colours I used are Dark Crumb Cake (#144581), Old Olive Combo (#144597), Mango Melody combo (#147945), Mint Macaron Combo (#147283), Seaside Spray Combo (#149569), Calypso Coral Combo (#144045) and Purple Posy Combo (#149566). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The sentiment is from Painted Glass stamp set (#148220) and stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138). This and the Blueberry Bushel card underneath were cut with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (#151690). The Rhinestones are from the Noble Peacock Rhinestones (#149494).

Have a great day.

Free As A Bird

Hello again,

The beautiful birds from the Free As A Bird stamp set (#c149468) was another image I had amongst a lot of other unused stamped images which I came across in my clean up the other day.

The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Whisper White card (#106549). The Stampin’ Blends used to colour this image are Balmy Blue Combo (#148544), Daffodil Delight Combo (#144603), Flirty Flamingo combo (#147278), Purple Posy combo (#149566), Light Old Olive (#144574), Dark Real Red (#147934) and Light Crumb Cake (#144582). This image was fussy cut and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Whisper White cardfront was stamped with the Birch Background stamp (#c149256) using Crumb Cake ink (#121685). “Birthday” is from the Perennial Birthday stamp set (#c151240) and stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). This image is actually “happy birthday” but I wasn’t wanting to stamp that, so when I inked the stamp I covered the word happy to avoid getting ink on it. I removed the paper before stamping and was able to stamp Birthday without a problem. A post it note is great for doing this. “Happy” is cut with a die from the Merry Christmas To All Dies (#147912) from the Real Red Glimmer Paper (#150427) and glued to the card with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). The base card is Real Red (#106578). 

Have a great day.
