Memorable Blooms

 Hello again friends,

As I write this, the wind is starting to build as the cyclone comes closer to the Queensland coast and is expected to cross the coast tomorrow night. My craft room is the most exposed so we have boarded the windows and doors, just to be on the safe side. It is very rare for a cyclone to come this far south, so we are hoping it isn't too vicious. I hope everyone in the affected areas will be safe.

I have used the Baby Wipes technique again on today’s card. Check yesterdays blog for all the details on this technique. I usually stamp a variety of images when I use this technique so I don't waste the ink I have used to create the “ink pad”.

I stamped the image from the Memorable Blooms stamp set (#164816) onto Basic White card (#159228). This was cut with a Textured Notes Die (#165555).

The Real Red card (#106578) was dry embossed with the Modern Herringbone Embossing Folder (#164908) and attached to the Basic White base card. The stamped image was attached to the Real Red card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Congratulations” from the Translucent Florals stamp set (#162243) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). The sentiment and the Azure Afternoon card (#161728) were also cut with Textured Notes dies. These were taped to the card. The Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels (#158987) were added to the card.

Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper

 Hi again,

This bunch of flowers are from the die cuts from the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164591), making this another quick & easy card.

The base card is Basic White (#159228). I scored the front of the card in half and folded the card as you can see above.

I attached a piece of the Wildflower Birthday Specialty DSP on the inside of the card. I dry embossed a piece of Pretty In Pink card (#163794) with the Modern Herringbone Embossing Folder (#164908) and attached this to the front of the card.

The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). “Happy Birthday” is from the Translucent Florals stamp set (#162243). This was stamped with Pretty In Pink ink (#163807) and the 2 circles were cut with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183). I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the circles.

 The embellishments are the Adhesive-Backed Dapple Dots (#163353). I added glimmer with to the flowers with Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

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.

Magnolia Mood

 Hi friends,

I think Gold & Very Vanilla (or white) is great for a special card and of course the sentiment can be changed for any special occasion.

The flower from the Magnolia Mood stamp set (#163502) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). A Magnolia Mood Die (#163506) was used to cut the flower.

I dry embossed the Very Vanilla card front (#106550) with the Modern Herringbone Embossing Folder (#164908). The Season Of Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164324) was attached to the card front. I then gold embossed the edges. To do this I wiped the VersaMark pad along the edge and added the embossing powder. I found doing one edge at a time and setting it was much easier.

The sentiment from the Magnolia Mood stamp set was also gold heat embossed. A die from Peaceful Season dies (#164020) was used to cut this. I cut the sentiment twice as I wanted it a bit shorter. To do this I cut closer to the left for the first cut, then re-positioned the die to cut closer to the right. The retired ribbon was threaded through the sentiment and wrapped around the card front. I attached the sentiment and the flower with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The card front was attached to the Very Vanilla base card. The Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) were added to the card.
