Winterly Tree Tops

Hello again friends,

I haven't been in the craft room for 4 days as I have been unwell. Still not 100% but thought some craft time might be just what I need, so here is today’s card.

I stamped the bird from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set (#164184) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I coloured this with Stampin’ Blends - Pool Party (#154894), Lemon Lolly (#161673), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Poppy Parade (#154958) and Crumb Cake (#154882). A die from the co-ordinating Winterly Tree Tops dies (#164065) was used to cut out the bird.

I attached a strip of the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162616) to the Basic White base card (#159228). I then used a new embossing folder, from the Glass & Gardens Embossing Folders (#165597), available in May from the Online Exclusives. There are 2 folders in this set and fit the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Embossed Machine (#150673).

The Basic White card front was then matted with Real Red card (#106578) and attached to the Basic White base card.

“Birthday Wishes” from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added the Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This is set with the Heat Tool (#129056). A Labelled With Love die (#163570) was used to cut the sentiment.

The bird & the sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Otterly Adorable Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

A super easy & super cute card today. I have just finished my last class for the year and I’m in the middle of packing up my craft room so I don't have all my supplies available. I am getting new carpet and a bit of a revamp of the craft room. So this will be the last post for the next week or so. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and I will be back very soon.

I cut 3 images from the Otterly Adorable Designer Series Paper (#164936) using the Labelled With Love dies (#163570).

I attached another piece of the DSP to the Pecan Pie card (#161726). I dry embossed these together with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder (#164695), and attached the card front to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The 3 die cut otters were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I haven't added a sentiment yet (my inks & stamps are packed) but may just stamp the sentiment inside at a later time.

Merry Christmas and thanks for your continued support.

Labelled With Love Dies

Hello & welcome,

The Labelled With Love dies (#163570) has a set of 3 dies exactly the same, making it easy to cut multiple pieces. If you prefer a punch, the Labelled With Love punch (#163569) is exactly the same size & shape as the dies. It’s great to have a choice.

I used the dies to cut the Splendid Autumn 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164173). “Happy Birthday” from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and cut with a Greetings Of The Season die (#164112). The silver from the Gold & Silver Trim Combo Pack (#161633) was threaded through the hole in the sentiment.

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Modern Herringbone Embossing Folder (#164908). This folder will be available online in November. I matted this with Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

The butterfly is from the Paper Butterfly Accents (#162612). I added Gorgeous Grape ink to colour the butterfly with a Sponge Dauber (#133773). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add glimmer to the butterfly.

The die cuts, sentiment & butterfly were all attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The Riverside Irregular Pearls (#164937) were added to the body of the butterfly.

Nests Of Winter Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

In the current catalogues you can find some inspiration with the card templates. I have used one of the templates from the Annual catalogue on page 22, with a slight variation. You can follow the template exactly or put your spin on it.

The DSP for the birds & the green & white stripes is from the Nests Of Winter 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#164183). I cut the birds with the Labelled With Love dies (#163570).

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Birch Embossing Folder (#164069), then matted with Copper Clay card (#161730) and Garden Green card (#108605). This was then taped to the Basic White base card.

The green & white striped DSP was taped to the card front. The die cut birds were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) was stamped with Copper Clay ink (#161647) and cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are the Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots (#164204).

Sketched Butterflies

Hello stamping friends,

I often use a touch of black to make a colour pop, like on this card with the Petunia Pop colours.

I stamped the butterflies from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set (#163490), using VersaMark (#102283) with Black embossing powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The co-ordinating Sketched Butterflies die (#163491) was used to cut the butterflies.

The Petunia Pop DSP from the 2024-2026 In Color 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#163777) was matted with Basic Black card (#121688) and Petunia Pop card (#163802). I wrapped the Petunia Pop Bordered Ribbon (#163785) around the card front then attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The Labelled With Love dies (#163570) were used to cut the 3 Basic White labels. The sentiment from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set was stamped with Petunia Pop ink (#163811). These were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The butterflies were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add glimmer to the butterflies.

Labelled With Love Dies

Hi Stamping friends,

I have used the Labelled with Love dies (#163570) for the cutouts on the card front.

After cutting the Soft Sea Foam card front (#147012) with the dies, I dry embossed it with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406). This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to a piece of the Season Of Green & Gold 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164324). I matted this with Gold Foil Sheets (#132622) and attached it to the Very Vanilla card base (#106550).

The flower is from the Spotlight On Nature stamp set (#163579). I stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I fussy cut the floral image.

The sentiment was also Gold heat embossed. I used a die from the Greetings Of The Season die (#164112). The floral image and sentiment were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I threaded the Gold from the Gold & Silver 1/8” Trim Combo Pack (#161633) through the label for the sentiment. The Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) were added to the card.

Changing Leaves bundle

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

A new bundle available from the Online Exclusives is the Changing Leaves Bundle (#164139). The bundle consists of the Changing Leaves stamp set (#164351) and the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder (#164138) which also includes the dies. The embossing folder and dies can be used separately or together.

I have dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the Embossing Folder, then matted this with the Pretty Peacock card (#150886). This was attached to the Basic White base card.

The large leaf from the stamp set was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083). I cut and dry embossed this with the embossing folder and the die together. The “maple” leaf was cut at the same time, then I lightly added some colour with a Blending Brush (#153611) with Lost Lagoon ink (#161678). The detailed leaf was cut with another die from the set using Lost Lagoon card (#133686), backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped onto a piece of Winter Meadow 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#162133). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added White powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165679). The Heat Tool (#129056) was used to set the powder. This was then cut with a Labelled With Love die (#163570). There are 3 identical dies in this set. However if you prefer a punch rather than a die, there is a punch exactly the same - the Labelled with Love Punch (#163569).

The large leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the maple leaf & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are from the Blooming Pearls (#162238).
