Floral & Gingham Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

The Floral & Gingham Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164713) co-ordinates beautifully with the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper (#164700).

The floral piece from the Floral Delight DSP was taped to the Gingham Vellum.

“Happy Birthday” from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) was stamped with Crushed Curry ink (#147087) and this was cut with a Birthday Celebration die (#164598). I taped this to the vellum.

The leaves from the Memorable Blooms stamp set (#164816) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). These were coloured with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends (#154892) and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883). A Memorable Blooms die (#164825) cut the leaves.

The small flowers were cut from Daffodil Delight card (#121680) using Happy Hibiscus dies (#164879).

When I use vellum, I like to add all the elements first before attaching the vellum to the card. Then I only use the adhesive under the pieces added to the vellum so it isn't visible through the vellum. The sentiment was taped and I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the leaves & small die cut flowers. The vellum was attached to a piece of Basic White card, then matted with Daffodil Delight card.

I added glimmer to the flowers & leaves with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) and the embellishments are Antique Pearls (#164679).

Floral & Gingham Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi crafty friends,

The 2 designs of Designer Paper are from the Floral & Gingham Vellum 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164713).

I cut the DSP and Daffodil Delight card (#121680) with the Countryside Corners dies (#161471). I matted the blue gingham vellum with Pool Party card (#124391) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The flowers & leaves from the Memorable Blooms stamp set (#164816) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). These were coloured with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends (#154892). The flowers & leaves were cut with the Memorable Blooms dies (#164825).

I stamped the banner from the Mixed Labels stamp set (#164643) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. “Happy Birthday” is from the Sentimental Park stamp set (#160561) and I used Crushed Curry ink (#147087). This was cut with a Mixed Labels die (#164652).

I taped the Daffodil Delight card to the blue vellum. The floral vellum was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683), ensuring these dots would be hidden with the elements on top.

The banner, flowers and leaves were all attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was added to the flowers & leaves and the embellishments are from the Antique Pearls (#164679).

Memorable Blooms Bundle

Hi everyone,

The flowers & leaves on this card are from the Memorable Blooms Bundle (#164826). This bundle consists of the Memorable Blooms stamp set (#164816) and Memorable Blooms dies (#164825).

I stamped the leaves & flowers with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). These were coloured with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends (#163826). These stamped images and the other leaves were cut with the co-ordinating dies. I used Summer Splash card (163798) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) for the die cut leaves.

I cut the diamonds with a die from the Linked Together dies (#164808), using Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) and Basic Black card (#121688).

The Fruit Salad 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164943) from Sale-a-bration was matted with Basic Black card and attached to the Basic White base card.

The diamonds were taped together, offsetting 2 sides, and attached to the card front. The stamped flowers & leaves were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The sentiment from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) was stamped with Crushed Curry ink (#147087) and cut with a die from the Changing Leaves dies (#164138). This die is longer than the sentiment so I cut it twice by repositioning the die to get the correct size. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach this to the card.

The Antique Pearls (#164679) were added to finish the card as well as using Clear Wink of Stella (#141897) to add glimmer t the flowers.

Sympathy Card

Hi everyone,

For Sympathy cards I like to have them mostly white with a touch of colour, and on this one I have used Silver.

The finished card is 12.5cm x 12.5 cm (or 5”x5”).

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the Starstruck Embossing Folder (#164972). This is a Sale-a-bration product. The card front was attached to the Basic White base card.

I cut the hexagonals with the Meant To Bee dies (#166582), using Basic White card backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). These were attached to the card front.

The flower from the Memorable Blooms stamp set (#164816) and the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added the Silver from the Wow! Metallics Embossing Powder (#165678) then this was set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The flower was cut with the co-ordinating Memorable Blooms die (#164825) and the sentiment with an Autumn Leaves die (#162185).

The flower & sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) were added to the card and I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add glimmer to the flowers.
