Friendly Hello & Honeybee Home

Hello friends,

I have combined the Friendly Hello stamp set (#159990) with the Honeybee Home stamp set (#157943) for this card.

I stamped the leaves from the Friendly Hello stamp set onto Basic White card (#159228) using Just Jade ink (#153115). Then I dry embossed this with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (#152718). This was matted with Pale Papaya card (#155669) then attached to the Basic White base card.

The 2 larger flowers from the Friendly Hello stamp set and the smaller flowers from the Honeybee Home stamp set were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The 2 larger flowers were fussy cut and the small flowers were cut with the Honeybee Blooms Dies (#157951). All the flowers were coloured with Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends (#155519) and the leaves with Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends (#155521). 

The Gold trim from the Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was attached to the card front and the flowers were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The sentiment is also from the Friendly Hello stamp set and stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, then cut with a die from the Ornate Frames (#150664). This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Adhesive Backed Hexagons (#158148) were added to the card. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used on all the flowers to add that bit of sparkle.

TIP: When stamping and dry embossing on the same piece of card, it is usually best to stamp first, then emboss. If you emboss first you won’t get the best stamping image. However I have very occasionally embossed first for a different effect, depending on the stamp. It’s always worth experimenting.

Butterflies & Flowers Layering Masks

Hello & welcome,

I have used the background mask from the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Masks (#158142) using Blending Brushes (#153611) to achieve the “rainbow” effect. I think these are one of my favourite products from the mini catalogue, but I will probably say that about a lot of the products!! So many great ones.

The inks I used with the mask are Mint Macaron (#147106), So Saffron (#147109), Pool Party (#147107), Fresh Freesia (#155611) and Misty Moonlight (#153118). The Denim Ribbon (#149590) was wrapped around the card front, then the card front was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The bird and flowers from the Friendly Hello stamp set (#159990) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). This stamp set is a Sale-a-bration product. The bird was coloured with Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894), the flowers with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883), the leaves with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885), Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends (#154958) for the flower centres and the branch with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#154882). I cut this with a die from the Layering Circles Dies (#151770). I attached the circle to the Heart & Home Doilies (#157956) with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment, also from the Friendly Hello stamp set, was stamped with Misty Moonlight ink (#153118), then cut with a Sweet Hearts Die (#157623). Stampin’ Dimensionals were also used to attach this to the card. Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) was my choice of embellishments.

TIP: When using Blending Brushes you can achieve various depths of colours depending on how dark or light the ink is, and also how hard you press when using the brushes. I find it best to start light and slowly add extra colour till you get the desired results. Also after inking the brush, wipe some excess off onto a piece of scrap paper so you don’t have an unwanted dark area which can’t be fixed.

Friendly Hello Stamp Set & Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

The Friendly Hello stamp set and Designer Series Paper (#159990) is a free product from Sale-a-bration with a $180 order in Australia. These co-ordinate beautifully together. Some of the stamp images match with the images on the designer paper so a very versatile set.

I stamped the flowers with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto the Petal Pink DSP. I cut the other piece of DSP with the bird and the Basic Black card (#121688) with the Stitched So sweetly Dies (#151690). These were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The base card is Basic White (#159228).

The sentiment is from the Friendly Hello stamp set and stamped with Petal Pink ink (#147108) and cut with an Ornate Frames Die (#159664). The edges of the sentiment were daubered with Petal Pink ink and then I added the Clear diamond shapes from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials (#155567) to finish the card.

Another easy card so great when you don’t have a lot of time.

TIP: Sale-a-bration continues till 28th February and there is a range of free products to choose from with every $90 or $180 order of Stampin’ Up! products from the new mini catalogue and/or the Annual catalogue.

Friendly Hello Sale-a-bration

Hello my dear friends,

As mentioned yesterday, Sale-a-bration starts on 4th January, which means you get free products with a qualifying order (each $90 in Australia). Today I have used the Friendly Hello stamp set and Designer Series Paper (#159990) bundle which is free with a $180 order. I love how these co-ordinate so nicely.

The flowers from the stamp set fit perfectly on the flowers of the DSP, so I stamped the flowers with VersaMark (#102283) onto the DSP then heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I cut the DSP with a Nature’s Thoughts Die (#153586), then matted this with Basic Black Card (#121688).

The gold and white stripe DSP is from the Abstract Beauty 4”x6” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#158039). This is a new size in Designer Series Paper and great for card fronts. I wrapped the Gold Shimmer Ribbon (#152156) around the card front then attached this to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The sentiment is from the Friendly Hello stamp set and stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The die from the Pretty Pillow Box dies (#156321) was used to cut the sentiment. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach this to the card.

The Genial Gems (#155500) were attached to the sentiment and flower centres.
