Bordered In Beauty

Hi & welcome,

I have used dies from both the Bordered In Beauty dies (#167556) and the Extraordinary Life dies (#167718). You might look at these dies and think they are more suited to memory keeping but they can definitely be used for cards as well.

I used 2 of the dies from Bordered In Beauty dies to cut the top & bottom of the Basic White card front (#166781). I then dry embossed this with the Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder (#167744).

The DSP is from the Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper (#167553). I cut the “page” using an Extraordinary Life die and this was attched to the white card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The leaves are from the Floral Flight Accents (#167558) and attached to the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). The butterfly is from the Gilded Wings Accents (#169953) and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

“Best Wishes” is from the July Product Of The Month - Begonia Belle stamp sets (#168592) and stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052) and cut with a Bordered In Beauty Die. This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are the Pearlised Faceted Circles (#166978).

Gilded Wings Accents

Hello again everyone,

A quick and easy card using 3 of my favourite things - butterflies, purple & gold.

I cut the 4 pieces of card to give an Ombre look using Bubble Bath card (#161727), Fresh Freesia card (#155614), Highland Heather card (#147010) and Gorgeous Grape card (#147011). The sizes are 9cm x 2.5cm, 9cm x 3cm, 9cm x 3.5cm and 9cm x 4cm.

I dry embossed the coloured card with the Joined Together Embossing Folder (#165170). This is still available from the Last Chance products.

These were taped to a piece of Basic White card (#166781) - 9.5cm x 13.9cm, then attached to the Basic White base card.

The butterflies are from the Gilded Wings Accents (#169953) which will be available in the July On Line Exclusives.

The retired Strawberry Slush & Pretty In Pink Gems were added to the card. I chose not to add a sentiment to the card.

Botanical Expressions die

Welcome everyone,

I have a sneak peek of 2 new products which will be available in the July Online Exclusives. The die to cut these leaves is the Botanical Expressions die (#168152).

These were cut on the Coastal Cabana card (#131302). I then dry embossed the lower part with the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder (#167179). This was taped to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The butterfly is the other sneak peek and is in the Gilded Wings Accents (#169953). There is a full 12”x12” page of die cut butterflies of all sizes in gold, ready to attach to any project. I attached this with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Happy Birthday” from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set (#167639) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). A die from the Nested Essentials (#161597) was used to cut the sentiment, then I attached it with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The embellishments are the retired Tinsel Gems.

Velvet Meadow Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

Beautiful designer paper can make quick & easy cards, like this design from the Velvet Meadow Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167904). This paper has velvet texture on each floral design.

The DSP was matted with Berry Burst card (#144249).

The sentiment from the All Aflutter stamp set (#167564) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) onto Berry Burst card. I added White powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with a die from the Fragrant Layers Dies (#167154). The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The white twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack (#155475) was threaded through the sentiment and wrapped around the card front. This was then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I added some small butterflies from the Gilded Wings Accents (#169953) which will be available in July from the online exclusives. The Antique Pearls (#164679) were added to the card & butterflies.
