Beautifully Adorned Ephemera Pack

Hello & welcome,

You can’t go past gold for an elegant card. I have used the Beautifully Adorned Ephemera Pack (#166980) for the flower, leaves & oval frames.

I dry embossed the Very Vanilla card front (#166785) with the Joined Together Embossing Folder (#165170). Then I heat embossed the edges with the Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). To embossed the edges I wiped the VersaMark pad (#102283) along one edge, added the embossing powder, then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I did each side this way.

The card front was taped to the Very Vanilla base card.

The sentiment from the Greenery Lane stamp set (#166870) was also Gold Heat embossed. This was cut with a retired oval die and I attached these together with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). This was then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The outside frame was also attached with Mini Glue Dots. The flower & leaves were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to the card.

Inspiring Imperfections Bundle

Hi friends,

The Inspiring Imperfections Bundle (#165167) has been used on today’s card along with other products included in the Kintsugi Inspirations Suite Collection (#165172).

I dry embossed the Misty Moonlight Two-Tone cardstock (#166686) with the Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder (#165170). I then tore the edge to show the white core. I attached the lighter side to the Basic White base card (#166781), then attached the darker side showing the white torn edge. A piece of the Kintsugi Inspirations Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165159) was attached to the card.

I stamped the vases from the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set (#165161) using Misty Moonlight ink (#153118) onto the Misty Moonlight Two-Tone cardstock and Basic White card. These were cut with an Inspiring Imperfections die (#165166). The 2 floral pieces were also cut with the dies using Gold Foil (#132622).

“Just A Note” from the Fragrant Layers stamp set (#167150) was stamped with Misty Moonlight ink and punched with the Three Banner Punch (#167050).

The blue vase was taped to the card and the white vase was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The gold foil flowers were glued with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). The sentiment was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The embellishments are the Flower Accents (#165171).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the vases.

Fragrant Layers Bundle

Hi friends,

These flowers & leaves are from the Fragrant Layers Bundle (#167155). The dies don’t actually cut these flowers so I have fussy cut them. There are a variety of dies which cut different parts of the flowers.

The flowers from the Fragrant Layers stamp set (#167150) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (#132708) onto Very Vanilla card (#166785). The Stampin’ Blends to colour the image are Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Pretty In Pink (#163824), Bubble Bath (#161675), Strawberry Slush (#165290), Daffodil Delight (#154883) and Lemon Lime Twist (#161682).

The Very Vanilla card front was dry embossed with the Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder (#165170), the matted with Mossy Meadow card (#133683). The card base is Very Vanilla.

The detailed die cut leaves were cut with the Fragrant Layers dies (#167154) using Mossy Meadow card and Old Olive card (#106576). The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Branching Out dies

Hello again,

Before I put everything away from yesterday’s card I thought I would make another one with a variation.

The flower, leaves and gold corner pieces are from the Beautifully Adorned Ephemera Pack (#166980). The flower has an outline in gold so I coloured the back with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675).

The card front is from the Whispers Of Texture Specialty Paper (#167106) and this was matted with Bubble Bath card (#161727), then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I cut the “frame” with 2 of the Branching Out dies (#165775), then dry embossed it with the Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder (#165170). This was attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Congratulations” is from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) and stamped with VersaMark (#102283), then I added the Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing powders (#165678). The Heat Tool (#129056) was used to set the powder. This was punched with the Three Banner punch (#167050).

The flower was attached with a Stampin’ Dimensional, and Mini Glue Dots (#103683) were used for the leaves & gold corners. The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals and a Mini Glue Dot. The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to finish the card.

One Sheet Wonder

Hello stamping friends,

Have you heard of a One Sheet Wonder? This is when you use one sheet of Designer Paper, cut it into various sizes and use each piece on a different card. I am using the gold & white design from the Kintsugi Inspirations 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165159). Below are the sizes I cut for this page.

I have used one of the pieces cut 13.4cm x 9cm, and this was matted with Gorgeous Grape card (#147011), then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781)

The vases from the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set (#165161) were stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and Highland Heather ink (#147103). These were cut with the Inspiring Imperfections dies (#165166). This stamp set & die is also available in the Inspiring Imperfections Bundle (#165167), which gives you a 10% saving.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Year Of Flowers stamp set (#165367). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added the Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). I used the More Messages die (#165472) to cut the sentiment.

The gold rectangle is the middle of the smaller frame from the Sentimental Framing dies (#165476). I dry embossed this with the Joined Together Embossing Folder (#165170). The gold is from the Textured Metallic 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#163772).

I taped this gold and the Highland Heather vase to the card. The Gorgeous Grape vase & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I will show more cards from this One Sheet Wonder in the coming weeks.
