Countryside Corner Dies

Hi my stamping friends,

I really do love dies whether they co-ordinate with a stamp set or are stand alone ones, so I have used a variety on this card.

The Base card and card front are Very Vanilla (#106550). The next 3 layers are cut with the Countryside Corners dies (#161471). The back layer is from the All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162178). The next layer is Pretty Peacock card (#150886) which I dry embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#162189). Then using 2 of the dies I cut a “frame” from the Oxidized Copper Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162190).

I stamped the flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (#161140) with VersaMark (#102283) and used Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) which I set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with the Irresistible Blooms die (#161149).

The Rose Gold Specialty Paper (#159139) was used for the die cut leaves. The dies are from the Cheerful Daisies dies (#161296) and the Timeless Arrangements dies (#161525).

I stamped the leaves are from the Autumn Leaves stamp set (#162179) with Lost Lagoon ink (#161678). These leaves and the other green leaves were cut with the Autumn Leaves dies (#162185). For the green leaves I used the Lost Lagoon from the Soft Shimmer Paper Combo Pack (#161750).

The flower was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves were all attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Irresistible Blooms

Hi my friends,

The flowers & leaves on this card are from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (#161140).

When stamping the flower I used the Stamparatus as I wanted to use ink as well as Clear embossing powder. I stamped the flower with Berry Burst ink (#147143). I cleaned the stamp without moving it then re-stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The leaves were stamped with Coastal Cabana ink (#147097). The flower and leaves were cut with the Irresistible Blooms dies (#161149).

The Gold paper from the Joyful 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#161980) was also cut with an Irresistible Blooms die. This was attached to the Coastal Cabana card (#131302) which was dry embossed with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406). I attached the card front to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The flower was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) for the leaves.

“Celebrate” was cut with a Wanted To Say die (#161594). I used a Coastal Cabana card which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). I love using this adhesive for the finer detailed die-cuts as it makes it easy to attach them to the card. The embellishments are from the Tinsel Gems Three-Pack (#161624).

Delightful Doily Hybrid Dies & Embossing Folder

Hi everyone,

I have used the Delightful Doily Hybrid dies (#161286) which includes an embossing folder for the background and the cut out doily.

I used the embossing folder to dry emboss the Fresh Freesia card from the White Centre Specialty Paper (#161748). I then used the die and embossing folder to cut and emboss the Basic White card (#159228) for the doily. This was attached to the card front with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Celebrate” was cut with a Wanted To Say Die (#161594). I used Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) and adhered it the card.

The flowers and stamped leaves are from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (#161140). These were stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099), Highland Heather ink (#147103) and Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). These were cut with the co-ordinating Irresistible Blooms Dies (#161149). The die cut leaves were cut with Timeless Arrangements dies (#161525) and I used Parakeet Party card (#159260).

The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the stamped leaves with Mini Glue Dots. The die cut leaves had Adhesive Sheet on the back. The embellishments are the Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins (#160387).

I stamped the Countryside Corners stamp (#161468) onto Basic White card and cut this with one of the Countryside Corners dies (#161471). I used a smaller die to cut another piece of Basic White card, embossed this with the same Basic 3D Embossing Folder and taped it to the stamped card.

“Best Wishes” is from Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) and I used Poppy Parade ink. This was cut with a Stylish Shapes Die (#159183).

Easy Fun Fold Card

Hello again my friends,

This is a really simple fun fold card (not sure what it’s called) and I have added a belly band which I have attached the sentiment and flower.

The Real Red card (#106578) was cut 25.3cm x 15cm. I scored on each end of the longer side at 5.1cm & 8.8cm. The DSP is from the Ready To Ride Specialty Designer. Series Paper (#160752) and these were cut 4.6 x 14.5cm.

The flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (#161140) was stamped on the Basic White card (#159228) with Real Red ink (#147084) and this was attached inside the card.

I used the larger flower from the same set to stamp on Real Red card. This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The co-ordinating Irresistible Blooms die (#161149) was used to cut the flower. The sentiment also from this stamp set was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and cut with a Stylish Shapes Die (#159183).

To make the belly band I cut a piece of Real Red card 22.5cm x 4.5cm. I scored each end at 6cm, folded the ends and taped where they overlap to make the band. I dry embossed the belly band with the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder (#158655).

The sentiment was taped to the belly band and the flower was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The belly band is now ready to slide over the card.

6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#161139).

Hello, Irresistible

Hello my friends,

I have had a very busy few weeks and my craft table & room needed a huge clean up, so did that today in between appointments which took up most of my day. During my clean up I found a heap of bits & pieces which I have stamped & cut over the weeks but haven’t used, so this card is made with some of these pieces I found. Just what I needed when I had very little time to make a card.

I cut the White Textured Shimmer Paper (#160838) with a die from the Irresistible Blooms Dies (#161149). This was attached to the Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper (#161139), then matted with Flirty Flamingo card (#141421).

“With Sympathy” is from the retired stamp set Special Moments. This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). A die from the Meadow Dies (#155852) was used to cut the sentiment. I threaded the ribbon through the label and wrapped it around the card front and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (#161140) was stamped with VersaMark and embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) on Flirty Flamingo card. The flower & leaves were cut with the Irresistible Blooms dies. I used the Gold Fine Shimmer Paper (#160428) for they leaves and these were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The flower & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls (#160449) were added to finish the card.

Now it’s back to more cleaning up but would prefer to be making cards.

Irrresistible Blooms Bundle

Hi & welcome,

I am using the soon to be released Irresistible Blooms Bundle (#161150) on todays card. This is available from 1st March, however demonstrators can purchase these products earlier (which I love).

The flowers from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (#161140) were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) onto Tahitian Tide card (#159262) and embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554). The Heat Tool (#129056) was used to set the powder. The flowers were then cut with the Irresistible Blooms dies (#161149).

I had backed a piece of the Gold from the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack (#160428) with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting the leaves using the Irresistible Blooms dies. The Basic White card (#159228) also had Adhesive Sheet attached before cutting with another die. I attached this to the Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper (#160837) and trimmed the die-cut level with the DSP. The DSP was then matted with Tahitian Tide card and attached to the Basic White base card.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set(#158203) and stamped with Tahitian Tide ink (#159210). A die from the Meadow dies (#155852) was used to cut the sentiment.

The flowers and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The Dragonfly Trinket (#160520) is actually silver but because there is gold on the card I decided to colour it with the Bronze Stampin’ Blend (#154922) which gives it the gold look. The other embellishment are the Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels (#158987).
