Poinsettia Petals

Hi again friends,

I have used the traditional red & green for this Christmas card using the beautiful poinsettia.

I used the Stitched Greenery Die (#155451) for the “stitching” on the Basic White card front (#159228). I attached the Real Red card (#106578) to the back of the cardfront. I wrapped the Metallic Mesh Ribbon (#153550) around the card front, then attached this to the Basic White base card.

The poinsettias from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set (#158251) were stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) and cut with the Poinsettia Dies (#153522). The leaves and flower centre were cut and embossed also with these dies using Garden Green card (#108605) and Real Red card. The flower was assembled with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I taped the leaves to the flowers and also used Dimensionals to attach the whole flower to the card.

The sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set was stamped with Real Red ink and a die from the Potted Succulents (#154330) was used to cut the sentiment. This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Some sparkle was added to the poinsettia using the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897).

Stitched Snowflakes Dies

Hi again,

It isn’t hard to make a pretty card with some dies and an embossing folder.

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the snowflakes images from the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder (#155433). This was matted with Balmy Blue card (#147007). The Metallic Mesh Ribbon (#153550) was wrapped around the card front, then attached to the Basic White base card.

The snowflakes are cut with the Stitched Snowflakes Dies (#156455) using Silver Foil Specialty Paper (#156457). These were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) were coloured with the Dark Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends (#154830) before attaching to the snowflakes and card.

“Joy” is from the Bright Baubles stamp set (#156350) and stamped with Balmy Blue ink (#147105). The circle is from Textures & Frames stamp set which was from Sale-a-bration, and also stamped with Balmy Blue ink. This was cut with the Picture This Die (#155559) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Peony Garden Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

If you love Designer Series Paper you will love that a variety of packs are on sale with 15% off for the month of October, so why not stock up and save now. Check them out here.

I love how most of the papers have a more patterned and vibrant colour on one side and more subtle on the reverse, which allows for so much variety when making cards or using on a scrapbook page. I have chosen the more subtle designs from the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (#152483) on this card today.

I matted the smaller piece of DSP with Balmy Blue card (#147007), then attached this to another piece of DSP. I wrapped a piece of the 1-1/2” Metallic Mesh Ribbon (#153550) around the card front then attached this to the Whisper White card base (#106549). I stamped the images from the Garden Shed stamp set (#c149247) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). These were the coloured with the following Stampin’ Blends - Balmy Blue (#154830), Smokey Slate (#154904), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Crumb Cake (#154882), Soft Suede (#154906), Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Highland Heather (#154887) Purple Posy (#154896) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). These images were punched with the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch (#152709). The sentiment from the Borders Abound stamp set (#152627) was stamped with Balmy Blue ink (#147105) and cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820). I attached the sentiment and punched images with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) then added the Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) to finish the card.

Have a great weekend!!
