Elegantly Said stamp set

Hello & welcome again,

Today I am using a retiring stamp set - the Elegantly Said stamp set (#155095).

I stamped the beautiful flourish image several times on the Basic White card (#159228). I used VersaMark (#102283) and sprinkled this White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I then lightly coloured the card using Blending Brushes (#153611) with Polished Pink ink (#155712), Fresh Freesia ink (#155611), Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) and Coastal Cabana ink (#147097).

I attached the white card to a piece of the Brushed Metallic 12”x12” cardstock (#153524). The Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon (#155615) was wrapped around the card front before attaching this to the Basic White base card.

The flower and the sentiment are both from the Elegantly Said stamp set and stamped with Fresh Freesia ink. I stamped the flower using the Stamparatus (#148187). Once I stamped with the ink, I then re-stamped it with VersaMark and used Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) and set with the Heat Tool. This gives the shiny embossed look with the colour of ink used.

The flower was cut with a Painted Labels Die (#151605) and the sentiment and the gold were cut with the Hippo & Friends Dies (#153585). The flower & sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Pastel Pearls (#154571) were added to the card.

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.

Symbols Of Fortune Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello crafty friends,

I just adore this beautiful designer paper from the Symbols Of Fortune 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#157652).

I have used Gold Foil Sheets (#132622) to matt the DSP  which co-ordinate with the gold foil accents on one side of this DSP. I cut the DSP with the crane with a die from the Hippo & Friends Dies (#153585). This was attached to the Gold Foil Sheet that I cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820). I also matted the larger piece of DSP with Gold Foil and attached this to the Basic White base card (#159228). 

The sentiment is from the Soaring Swallows stamp set (#157804). I stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555). This needs to be set with the Heat Tool (#129056). A die from the Ornate Frames (#150664) was used to cut the sentiment.

The gold foil behind the crane and the sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Metallic Pearls (#146282) were added to finish the card.

A simple but elegant card.

Beauty Of Tomorrow

Hello again,

The Beauty Of Tomorrow Bundle (#156819) consists of the Beauty Of Tomorrow stamp set (#156459) and the Beautiful Leaves Dies (#156468).

I used one of the Basic Patterns Decorative Masks (#150697) and the Shimmery White Embossing Paste (#145645) on the Basic White card front (#159228). This adds a beautiful sparkle and texture. This doesn’t take long to dry, but you can use the Heat Tool (#129056) if desired. I find doing this first, it is dry by the time you stamp and cut everything.

The leaves and the birds are all from the Beauty Of Tomorrow stamp set. The inks used are Bumble Bee (#153116), Soft Succulent (#155778) and Calypso Coral (#147101). These were cut with the Beautiful Leaves dies.

I attached the green leaves with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the yellow leaves and birds with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment from Shaded Summer stamp set (#155783) was stamped with Calypso Coral ink and I used the Hippo & Friends Dies (#153585) to cut the Basic White label & Calypso Coral (#124392) label. The card front was attached to the Calypso Coral card, then I wrapped the White Glittered Organdy Ribbon (#156408) around the card. The silver circles from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials (#155567) were added to the sentiment.

Don’t forget to check out the retiring products here - lesleyjendra.stampinup.net and includes this bundle. There are some great bargains and who doesn’t love a bargain.

Happy Holly-Days

Hi crafty friends,

I love when you can use a stamp set for more than one occasion. The Happy Holly-Days stamp set (156342) is actually a Christmas set but I have used the bird from this set for a range of occasions.

I punched the corners of the Harvest Meadow 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#156494) with the Detailed Trio Punch (#146320). I added small pieces of  Gold Foil (#132622) behind these cut outs, then I attached the card front to the Basic White base card (#159228).

I used a Seasonal Labels Die (#156299) to cut the Gold Foil label. “Hugs, Prayers & Love” from the Positive Thoughts stamp set (#151490) was stamped with Soft Succulent ink (#155778). The Hippo & Friends Dies (#153585) were used to cut the sentiment and the piece under the sentiment. I dry embossed the larger piece with the Gingham Embossing Folder (157627) - a sneak peek from the next mini catalogue.

The bird was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555). After heat setting this with the Heat Tool (#129056),  I fussy cut the bird and attached it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Blessings Of Home stamp set

Hello my crafty friends,

Being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator has many advantages and one is being able to get new products early. The Blessings Of Home stamp set (#157930) will be available from 4th January 2022 but as a demonstrator I have been able to purchase it early and I love it.

I stamped the smaller floral image for this card and it was cut with the Flowers Of Home Dies (#157938). I stamped this with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and coloured it with Stampin’ Blends. The colours used are Daffodil Delight (#154883), Fresh Freesia (#155518), Flirty Flamingo (#154884) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add shimmer to the coloured image.

The Gold Foil from the Brushed Metallics 12”x12” cardstock (#153524) was cut with a Hippo & Friends Die (#153585). This gold pack includes 3 colours of gold - light, medium and dark. I have used the medium colour here.

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406), then daubered the edges with Daffoldil Delight ink (#147094). The Pattern Party 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#155426) was attached to the card front. The gold foil was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment from the Elegantly Said stamp set (#155095) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was also cut with the Hippo & Friends dies and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I made a bow using the Gold Shimmer Ribbon (#152156) and used a Mini Glue Dot (#103683) to attach it to the card. The cute little bee from the Bumblebee Trinkets (#155568) was also attached with a Mini Glue Dot.

 If you would like to find out some of the perks of being a demonstrator please contact me. lesley.j.jendra@gmail.com I would love to hear from you.

Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

I have made a Christmas card using the beautiful new Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159996) which is available till 3rd January or while stocks last.

I attached the DSP to a piece of the gold paper from the Gold & Rose Gold 6”x6” Metallic Specialty Paper (#156844). I cut a piece of Basic White card (#159228) with a Hippo & Friends Die (#153585) and attached this to the DSP.

The flowers from the Merriest Moments stamp set (#156353) were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056), then cut with the Merriest Moments dies which are part of the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder (#156385). The flowers were assembled using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430)

The Gold Metallic Specialty Paper was backed with Adhesive Sheets (#152334) then gold leaves were cut with dies from the Eden Dies (#157831).

“Merry Christmas” from the Peaceful Deer stamp set (#156891) was stamped with Soft Succulent ink (#155778) and cut with a Stitched Rectangles die (#151820). This was attached to the label cut from Soft Succulent card (#155777) using another die from the Eden dies. Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to attach this to the card.

Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

Here is a beautiful verse for a card to send to someone for no real reason, and isn’t it nice to receive an unexpected card.

I added texture to the Basic White card front (#159228) using a Basic Patterns Decorative Mask (#150697) and the Shimmery White Embossing Paste (#145645) and applied it with a Palette Knife (#142808). This embossing paste dries quickly so ensure you wash the mask and palette knife immediately you are finished using them.

I cut the scallops with a die from the Penned Flowers Dies (#155557) from Misty Moonlight card (#153086). This was attached to the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper (#156494), then attached to the embossed card front.

The sentiment is from the Encircled In Friendship stamp set (#155408) and stamped with Misty Moonlight ink (#153118). This and the Misty Moonlight card under the sentiment were cut with Hippo & Friends Dies (#153585). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). A clear Elegant Faceted Gem (#152464) was attached to the sentiment.

Sailing Home stamp set

Hello again,

It’s nice to revisit some of the products from the Annual catalogue which we can sometimes forget when another catalogue arrives, so I have chosen the Sailing Home stamp set (#149457) which makes a great masculine card.

I have dry embossed the Pacific Point card (#116202) using the Seabed 3D Embossing Folder (#152700), then attached this to the Basic White base card (#159228). Happy Birthday is from the Many Mates stamp set (#152633) and stamped with Pacific Point ink (#147098) on Basic White card. This and the Poppy Parade card (#121694) were cut with the Hippo & Friends Dies (#153585).

The lighthouse is from the Sailing Home stamp set and also stamped with Pacific Point ink. The shells are fussy cut from the Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper (#154288). Even though these shells are smaller than the shells in the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder (#154309), I was very pleased how well it embossed these shells. I find they just look so much better with the embossing then when flat.

The lighthouse and the red & blue shells were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and as usual couldn’t resist using the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add that touch of glimmer to the shells & lighthouse. Pity it doesn’t show in the photo but looks great in reality.

Have a great weekend.

Flower & Field Designer Series Paper

Welcome my friends,

Sale-a-bration is coming to an end on 28th February so if you are placing an order you will receive a free product with each $90 you spend. The designer series paper on today’s card is from Sale-a-bration. It is the Flower & Fields DSP (#155223). I love the lovely range of vibrant colours and designs in this pack.

I have been trying to make some cards recently that could be used for men or women and I think this would work for either.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with one of the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder (#153126) before attaching it to the Granny Apple Green card (#147014). The DSP was also attached to the card front, then the Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon (#147897) was wrapped around the card.

The sentiment from the Many Mates stamp set (#152633) was stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). This and the Granny Apple Green Card were cut with Hippo & Friends Dies (#153585). These were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I stamped the dragonfly from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set (#154411) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Dragonflies punch (#154240) was used to punch the dragonfly and this was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) was used to added some glimmer to the dragonfly, although this doesn’t show in the photo. The Matte Black Dots (#154284) were added to the sentiment.

Have a great day!!

The Stampin’ Blends used are Purple Posy (#154896), Highland Heather (#154887), Rococo Rose (#154900), Blackberry Bliss (#154877), Rich Razzleberry (#154898), Petal Pink (#154893), So Saffron (#154905), Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Crumb Cake (#154882) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). This was attached to the Basic White card (#159228) which I had dry embossed with a Meadow Moments Embossing Folder (#153126).

The edges of the card front was sponged with Rich Razzleberry ink (#147091) and then attached to the Basic White base card.

“Happy Birthday” from the Happy Thoughts stamp set (#154507) was stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink. I used the Hippo & Friends Dies (#153585) to cut the sentiment and the Rich Razzleberry card under the sentiment. The Gold Trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo pack (#152475) was attached under the sentiment, and the sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Enjoy your day!

Art Gallery Bundle

Hello everyone,

Today’s card shows 2 stamp sets which will be available in January - the Art Gallery stamp set (#154421) and the Many Messages stamp set (#154510).

Firstly I created the background on the Very Vanilla card (#106550) using Shimmery White Embossing Paste (#145645) and adding a drop (a little goes a long way) of So Saffron re-inker (#154905). I mixed the ink with the paste then using one of the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks (#150697), placed the mask on top of the card then I applied the paste over the top. I didn't want a perfect finish so just randomly spread the paste using a Palette Knife (#142808). This embossing paste sets quickly, so wash the mask and palette knife as soon as possible. I usually always have some extra paste so I apply it to extra card to use at a later date so as not to waste it. If it’s not coloured it can be returned to the tub.

I attached this card and a piece of the So Saffron Designer Paper from the Subtles 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#153072) to Crushed Curry card (#131288). I wrapped the Gold 3/8” Metallic-Edge Ribbon (#144146) around the card front before attaching the card to the Very Vanilla base card.

The top flower was stamped with So Saffron ink (#147109) for the base image followed by Crushed Curry ink (#147087) for smaller images of the flower. The flower below the sentiment was stamped with Crushed Curry ink. Both flowers were cut with the co-ordinating dies from the Floral Gallery Dies (#154316). The leaves cut from the Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) were cut with a Curvy Die (#154319). These were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The sentiment is from the Many Messages stamp set and cut with a Hippo & Friends Die (#153585). The Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) was also cut with one of these dies. The sentiment and flowers were all attached using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). A Gold Glitter Enamel Dot (#152155) was attached to the lower corner of the card.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
