New Horizons Designer Series Ppaer

Hi & welcome everyone,

I love how easy it is to make a beautiful scene with the New Horizons Designer Series Paper (#157768). This pack is 6”x6” and has a lovely range of designs.

I matted the DSP with the Basic Black card (#121688) then attached it to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550).

I cut the tree using a Beautiful Trees Die (#155840) from Copper Foil Sheet (#142020). This was backed with Adhesive Sheets (#152334) which makes it easy to adhere the tree to the card.

I attached Very Vanilla card to a piece of Foam Adhesive Sheets (#152815) before cutting the fence with the Horizon Dies (#157778). The Foam Adhesive sheets are double sided foam sheets which is great to give dimension to the card.

I have used Basic Black card for the birds. The birds sitting in the tree are cut with the Beautiful Trees Dies and the flying birds are cut with the Waves Dies (#158840). The birds in the tree were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and the others had Adhesive Sheet attached to the back of the card.

TIP: Sometimes I don't attach a sentiment to the card till I know who I am giving it to, as it may be the wrong sentiment. It’s easy just to add the sentiment later for the appropriate occasion.

Gentle Waves

Hi again,

As soon as I saw the Gentle Waves stamp (#157868) I knew it would be able to be used with many other products like the Sailing Home stamp set (#149457) as I have used on this card.

I stamped the Gentle Waves onto Basic White card (#159228) using Balmy Blue ink (#147105). I matted this with Balmy Blue card (#147007). The base card is Basic White.

The lighthouse and boats are from the Sailing Home stamp set. The boats were stamped with Bumblebee ink (#153116) and Misty Moonlight ink (#153118). The lighthouse was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The boats & lighthouse were all cut with the Smooth Sailing Dies (#149576). The Horizon Dies (#157778) were used to cut the grass & hills in the foreground with Old Olive card (#106576).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Calming Camellia stamp set (#158117). This was stamped with Misty Moonlight ink then cut with a die from the Pretty Pillow Boxes Dies (#156321). The lighthouse, yellow boat, sentiment and grass were all attached using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

TIP: The Calming Camellia stamp set is a free host set from Sale-a-bration with an order of $500 (in Australia).

The Pretty Pillow Boxes Dies are continuing from the previous mini catalogue.

Horizon Dies

Hi everyone,

Here’s a fairly simple card using mostly dies. It’s great when you can use different sets to achieve a great card.

The tree and birds were cut with the Beautiful Trees Dies (#155840). I used the Beauty Of The Earth Designer Series Paper (#155841) for the tree and Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) for the birds. To make it easy to adhere the tree I used the Adhesive Sheets (#152334) on the back of DSP before cutting. The tree was adhered to another piece of the Beauty Of The Earth DSP. I had stamped the birds from the On The Horizon stamp set (#157770) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto the green DSP.

The fence and grass were cut with Horizon Dies (157778). I used Very Vanilla card (#106550) for the fence and Mossy Meadow card (#133683) for the grass. The fence, grass and birds were all attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I also cut the grass so it wasn’t the full length so it fitted on the card the way I wanted it.

“Happy Birthday” from Blossoms In Bloom stamp set (#158283) was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083). I cut this with a die from the Bouquet Of Love (#157641). These dies are part of the Bouquet Of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder.  Stampin Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the sentiment to the card. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used on the birds for a bit of sparkle.

TIP: When using Dimensionals on both the fence and the grass, ensure you only put Dimensionals on the grass where the pieces don’t overlap.

Home & Garden Bundle

Hello & welcome,

I hope you are having a good start to the New Year. What better way to start is with the new Mini catalogue and Sale-a-bration available from today. One of the bundles in the mini catalogue is the Home & Garden bundle (#157919) which is fantastic for those men in your life.

The bundle consists of the Home & Garden stamp set (#157910) and the Garden Dies (#157918). All the stamped images including the sentiment, and the die cuts (except the grass) are from this bundle. I stamped the ladder with Soft Suede ink (#147115) on Crumb Cake card (#121685). The rake was stamped with Garden Green ink (#147089) on Basic White card (#159228). The shovel was stamped with Sahara Sand ink (#147117) on Sahara Sand card (#121695). The small spade was stamped with Early Espresso ink (#147114) on Soft Suede card (#119982). The head of the shovel & spade were cut from (retired) Silver Foil. The “grass” is cut with a die from the Horizon Dies (#157778) using Garden Green card (#108605). The Garden Green card had Adhesive Sheets (#152334) adhered to the back before cutting with the dies.

The “timber” under the sentiment and for hanging the tools is Soft Suede card. The “hangers” are Basic Black card (#121688). The card front is from the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper (#157928). This was attached to the Garden Green base card.

The sentiment, ladder, rake, spade & shovel were all attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

TIP: There is a great range of bundles available in the annual catalogue and mini catalogue and when you purchase a bundle you save 10%.
