Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper

Welcome,

I have used the Flowers & Frames 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#163765) for the leaves on this card. This pack includes full sheets of patterned DSP, card fronts and die-cut designs. The leaves are from the die-cuts.

I also die cut 2 leaves using the Delicate Forest dies (#162679) and Flirty Flamingo card (#141421) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

For the card front I attached a piece of the vellum from the Graceful Greenery Vellum 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164118) to the same size Soft Sea Foam card (#147012), then matted it with the Flirty Flamingo card. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set (#161277) was stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088). The sentiment and Shaded Spruce card (#147006) for the circle were cut with Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183). The leaves in the background were taped to the card. The sentiment and the other 3 leaves were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The card was finished by adding the Iridescent Foil Gems (#162842).

Gold Foiled Flowers Cards & Envelopes

Hi friends,

The Gold Foiled Flowers Cards & Envelopes (#162589) are so elegant and great for any special occasion. The cards have a design on the back & front of the base card, so what I have done with this is cut it in half and used it for 2 different cards. I will show you the 2nd card in the next post. Look at the beautiful envelope too with the detailed die cuts on the flap.

After cutting the card in half I matted it with Gorgeous Grape card (#147011). I added some colour to the centre of the Gold & Vanilla Satin Edged ribbon (#159555) with Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends (#154887) then wrapped this around the card front. I then attached this to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550).

“Best Wishes” from the Layering Leaves stamp set (#161277) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) onto Very Vanilla card. This and the Gold Foil (#132622) were cut with the Thoughtful Expressions Dies (#162821). I attached the sentiment to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Such an easy card but elegant don't you think.

All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello everyone,

I am making masculine cards this week (as I need to build up my stock). However this card could be for either male or female which is great.

I have used the All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162178) for the card front, then I matted this with Pretty Peacock card (#150886). This was attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550). The strip of Pretty Peacock card was dry embossed with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder which is included in the Softly Sophisticated Bundle (#162947), a Sale-a-bration product.

“Best Wishes” from the Layering Leaves stamp set (#161277) was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083). This was cut with 2 of the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183) and attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The trio of embellishments are from the Blooming Pearls (#162238).

An easy card which you can change the DSP for a variety of looks. I am sure you have excess of DSP which you can use.

Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks

Hello & Welcome again,

I have been playing with the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks (#162331) again today.

Using Blending Brushes (#153611) I added the colour to the 3 flowers. I used Daffodil Delight ink (#147094), Crushed Curry ink (#147087) and Pumpkin Pie ink (#147086). I then applied the Shimmery White Embossing Paste (#145645) using a Palette Knife (#142808) with the mask still in place. I put this aside till the paste was dry, then fussy cut the flowers.

Meantime I stamped the leaves. I stamped 2 leaves on the Basic White card front (#159228). The leaf from Nature’s Prints stamp set (#158793) was stamped with Daffodil Delight ink. The leaf from the Inked & Tiled stamp set (#161158) was stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). The other leaves are from the Layering Leaves stamp set (#161277) and stamped with Lost Lagoon ink (#161678) and Pumpkin Pie ink. These are punched with the co-ordinating Bough Punch (#157711).

I used a die from the Earthen Textures dies (#161513) for the “embossing” at the bottom of the card front under the sentiment. The sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink and cut with a Cracker & Treat Box Die (#159182). This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I layered the flowers using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and attached the flower to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The punched leaves were also attached with Mini Glue Dots.

The Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) were added to the card.

Layering Leaves

Hello friends,

I have used 2 of the specialty papers on this card. They are the Soft Shimmer Paper Combo Pack (#161750) and the White Centre Specialty Paper (#161748).

The card front is the Bubble Bath from the White Centre Paper. I dry embossed this with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (#161600) then sanded it with fine sand paper. This was attached to the Basic White Base Card (#159228).

I cut the Bubble Bath Soft Shimmer paper with a Sentimental Park Die (#160566). I stamped “Sending Hugs” from the Layering Leaves stamp set (#161277) using Moody Mauve ink (#161649). This was cut with another Sentimental Park Die.

The leaves from the Layering Leaves stamp set (#161277) were stamped with Moody Mauve ink, Bubble Bath ink (#161664) and Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). These were cut with the Bough Punch (#157711) and attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Timeless Arrangements

Hi everyone,

I have done layers & layers of leaves on this card using the Timeless Arrangements Bundle (#161526) and the Layering Leaves stamp set (#161277).

I stamped the 3 leaves from the Layering Leaves stamp set using Pool Party ink (#147107), Lost Lagoon ink (#161678) and Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) on Basic White card (#159228). These were punched with the Bough Punch (#157711).

The flowers & berries were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I coloured the flowers with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675) & Lost Lagoon (#161680) for the leaves on the flowers. Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends (#161673) were used for the berries.

I stamped the leaves from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set with Lost Lagoon ink on Lost lagoon card (#133686). These leaves, the flowers, berries and all the other leaves were cut with dies from Timeless Arrangements. The card stock used is Lemon Lolly (#161729), Flirty Flamingo 141421), Pool Party (#124391) & Pecan Pie (#161726).

Some of the die cut leaves have 2 leaves attached to a strip so I cut these leaves from the strip to make it easier to place them on the card. They were all attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Best Wishes” from the Layering Leaves stamp set was stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052) and cut with a die from All That (#159078).

I stamped onto the Basic White card front with the bunch of small circles from the Timeless Arrangement stamp set using Soft Sea Foam ink. This was then dry embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (#161600) and matted with Flirty Flamingo card. After attaching all the leaves to the card I attached the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I also added some Gold Trim from the Silver & Gold Trim Combo (#161633) and the Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls (#160449).

The stamped leaves and the sentiment here are from the Layering Leaves stamp set (#161277).

The leaves were stamped with Pool Party ink (#147107), Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) and Lost Lagoon ink (#161678). The co-ordinating Bough Punch (#157711) was used to punch the leaves.

The Vellum Basics Specialty Designer Series Paper (#160839) was matted with the Pretty Peacock card (#150886) then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

I used 2 designs of the Earthen Elegance DSP (#161503). The Pretty Peacock piece was dry embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (#161600). I wrapped the Natural Wavy Trim (#161517) around the DSP and attached this to the card front.

“Best Wishes” was stamped with Pecan Pie ink (#161665) and cut with a die from the All That Dies (#159078). The stamped leaves were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#152334) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used for the sentiment.
