You will find some great bargains, but don't delay as they are available while stocks last.

Today’s card is using some retiring products.

I stamped the fern from Positive Thoughts stamp set (#151490) with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) onto Very Vanilla card (#106550). The words are also from this stamp set and stamped 3 times with Crumb Cake ink (#147116). I then cut the rectangle using a die from Natures Thoughts Dies (#153586). 

I attached the outside “frame” to a piece of Mango Melody card (#147013). Then I attached the inside rectangle with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). This allows you to see a small amount of the Mango Melody card underneath. The card front was attached to the Pear Pizzaz base card (#131290).

The butterfly is stamped with Mango Melody ink (#147093) then cut with the co-ordinating Natures Thoughts Die. A Stampin’ Dimensional was used in the centre of the butterfly to attach this to the card.

The feathers are cut with another of the Natures Thoughts dies using the 3 gold colours from the Brushed Metallic 12”x12” Cardstock (#153524) and attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The embellishments are from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#150457).

The retiring products used here are the Positive Thoughts stamp set, Natures Thoughts Dies and the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Positive Thoughts

Hello again friends,

All the stamped images on this card are from the Positive Thoughts stamp set (#151490).

The flowers and sentiment were stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052), the leaves with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) and the feathers with Crumb Cake ink (#147116).  The flowers, leaves and feathers were cut with the Nature’s Thoughts Dies (#153586) and the sentiment with an Ornate Frames Die (#150664).

The cardstock is Basic White (#159228) and Soft Sea Foam (#147012). I used the Stitched Greenery Die (#155451) on the top layer and dry embossed the bottom layer with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (#152718).

Although there is a butterfly in the Positive Thoughts stamp set, I chose to cut a detailed butterfly using the Brilliant Wings Dies (#155523) from the Silver foil from the Silver Foil 12”x12” Specialty Paper Pack (#156457). The butterfly, one of the flowers and the sentiment were all attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) were attached to the sentiment, flower centres and the butterfly.

Shaker Christmas card

Hi & welcome again,

Here’s a Christmas shaker card and highlighting the beautiful iridescent foil Wonderful Snowflake (#156340).

The base card is Basic White (#159228). The next 2 layers are Night Of Navy card (#106577) and Peaceful Place 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#156394). I made the frame using a die from Natures Thoughts (#153586) which cut the full rectangle, then I cut the middle out using the Stitched Rectangles Dies (#151820). The frame was then dry embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (#156505).

I attached some Window Sheet (#142314) to the back of the frame, then adhered Foam Adhesive Strips (#141825). I placed some Subtles Shimmer Sequins (#156407) in the middle of the card front then attached the frame to the DSP.

The sentiment is from the Whimsical Trees stamp set (#156330) and stamped with Night Of Navy ink (#147110). I used the circle die from Picture This dies (#155559) to cut the sentiment, and added the Subtle Shimmer Sequins (#156407) using the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309).

I attached the Wonderful Snowflake with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and added another sequin to the centre.

Positive Thoughts

Hello friends,

The Dotty Hearts Embossing Folders (#155434) has 2 smaller folders which can be used with the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine (#150673).

I stamped both sentiments from the Positive Thoughts stamp set (#151490) with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052). I embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with one of the Dotty Hearts embossing folders. I cut the “Hugs Prayers Love” with a Tasteful Labels Die (#152886). I also cut a piece of Flirty Flamingo card (#141421) with the same die, then used a Layering Circles Die (#151770) which was slightly larger to cut a ring to fit around the sentiment.

The butterfly was stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink. The Gold Foil sheet (#132622) was used to cut the 2 small butterflies and feather. The butterflies & feather were cut with Nature’s Thoughts Dies (#153586). These were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I used Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of the small butterflies.

I daubered the edge of the card front with Flirty Flamingo ink and attached this to the Basic White base card.

Hello & welcome friends,

When you want a card for a special occasion look no further than these beautiful Gold Cards & Envelopes (#153532). These Very Vanilla cards have a beautiful gold border so you can decorate it as you wish. They come with metallic gold envelopes.

I cut the Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) with a die from the Nature’s Thoughts Dies (#153586). I wrapped the Snowflake Splendor 1/4” Ribbon (#153548) around the Soft Sea Foam card. “Celebrate” from the Many Mates stamp set (#c152633) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

I attached the Gold Hoop Embellishment (#152474) using Mini Glue Dots (#103683) where they will be covered with the flower. I also added a couple of dots of the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309) under the hoop at the top. The leaves are from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (#152493) and attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots.

The Daisy from Daisy Lane stamp set (#c149325) was also Gold heat embossed. I stamped 2 flowers and when assembling I offset the petals. These were attached with Mini Glue Dots, then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

The gold Wonderful Gems (#153536) were added to the card and flower centre.

I hope you are having a great weekend.

Positive Thoughts

Hello,

These 2 colours - Rich Razzleberry and Granny Apple Green compliment each other to make a beautiful card.

The Whisper White card front (#106549) was dry embossed with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder (#149634) and matted with the Rich Razzleberry card (#119981), then attached to the Whisper White base card. A piece of the Granny Apple Green from the Brights 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#152487) was attached to the bottom of the card. I stamped the sentiment and the butterfly from the Positive Thoughts stamp set (#c151490) using Rich Razzleberry ink (#147091). The leaves from the same stamp set were stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). The lighter leaves were stamped using the stamping off method. The butterfly and leaves were cut with the Natures Thoughts Dies (#153586). I sprayed the leaves and butterfly with the Frost White Shimmer Paint (#147046). 

The wreath was cut with a Birds & More Die (#152721) and a Layering Circles Die (#151770) from Granny Apple Green card (#147014), which had the Adhesive Sheet (#152334) adhered to the back. The sentiment was also cut with the same Layering Circle Die. The wreath was attached to the white circle, then this was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are retired but were perfect for this card.

Have a great day!!

Very Versailles stamp set

Hi everyone,

I have used 2 of my favourite things on this card - butterflies and purple.

I stamped the leafy branch from the Very Versailles stamp set (#149275) with Pear Pizzaz ink (#147104) onto the Designer Series Paper from In Good Taste (#152494). The DSP was matted with Highland Heather card (#147010).  I wrapped the 3/8” Tricolor Ribbon (#149708) around the card front before it was attached to the Whisper White card base (#106549). The sentiment and border image are both from Very Versailles stamp set. I used Highland Heather ink (#147103) and Smokey Slate ink (#147113). I punched this with the Posted For You punch (#152709) and then attached it to a piece of Highland Heather card. The sentiment was then attached using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The butterflies are from the Positive Thoughts stamp set (#151490) and cut with the co-ordinating die from the Nature’s Thoughts Dies (#153586). I used VersaMark (#102283) and Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109131) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I coloured the butterflies with Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends (#154887). Stampin Dimensioanls were used to attach the butterflies and I added the Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) to the butterflies and sentiment.

It’s the weekend already. Where do the weeks go?

Natures Thoughts Dies & Tasteful Labels Dies

Hi again everyone,

This card would be suitable for a masculine card.

To make the background for the card front I used the spots from the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks (#150697) and daubered VersaMark (#102283) randomly over the mask. I didn't want perfect spots. Then I sprinkled the card with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109131) and set this with the Heat Tool (#129056). The designer paper is from the World Of Good Memories & More Card Pack (#153600) and this was attached to the Real Red card (#106578). Next I attached the Basic Black card (#121688) which I cut with a Tasteful Labels Die (#152886). I wrapped the Black 3/8” Glittered Organdy Ribbon (#147897) around the card. The sentiment from the Timeless Tropical stamp set (#c151497) was also silver embossed, then cut with another Tasteful Labels Die. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The feathers and leaves are cut with the Nature’s Thoughts Dies (#153586) from Silver Foil Sheet (#132178). I daubered with Real Red ink (#147084) around the sentiment and card front and this was attached to the Whisper White base card.

Have a great day.

I love the images and sentiments in the Positive Thoughts stamp set (#151490) and now these beautiful images can be cut with the coordinating Nature’s Thoughts Dies (#153586), which will be available to order from 4th February.

I have used Whisper White card (#106549) and Granny Apple Green (#147014). I also cut Champagne Foil Sheet (#144748) with a die from the Painted Labels Dies (#151605), then I cut it in half - you can see a small amount of it under the flowers and butterfly. I stamped the fern onto the background using Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). Then I stamped another 2 images using Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) on separate card and cut them with a Nature’s Thoughts Die. The butterfly was stamped with Pacific Point ink (#147098) and the flowers with Real Red ink (#147084) and Pumpkin Pie ink (#147086). These were all cut with the Nature’s Thoughts Dies as well as the detailed border. The sentiment was stamped with Granny Apple Green ink and cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#148551). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the butterfly, flowers and sentiment. The jewels are from the Noble Peacocks Rhinestones (#149494) and Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#150457).
