Friendly Foliage Bundle

Hi again,

I am loving the variety of all the leafy stamps and dies from Stampin’ Up! Here I have used the Friendly Foliage Bundle (#167308).

I stamped the leaves from the Friendly Foliage stamp set (#167021) using VersaMark (#102283) and added the Copper powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056) before cutting it with the dies from the Friendly Foliage dies (#167023).

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder (#167097), then matted with the retired Rose Gold Specialty Paper, then attached to the Basic White base card.

The DSP on the left side of the card is from the Delicate Designs Specialty Paper (#167509). I embossed another piece of Basic White card with the Beautiful Patterns Embossing Folder, then I wiped the Crumb Cake ink pad (#166787) lightly over the embossed card, picking up the colour on the embossed areas.

I cut the Delicate Dreams Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167498) with a retired Textured Notes die and attached the stamped leaves to this with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The detailed die cut leaves were cut with the Friendly Foliage dies using the Earthen Tones Metallic Specialty Paper (#165901). This was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

“Wishing You All The Best” is from the Friendly Foliage stamp set and this was also heat embossed with Copper and cut with a Textured Notes die.

The “embellishments” in the top corner are the inside pieces from the die cut leaves.

Simply Beautiful bundle

Hello again friends,

This large flower is from the Simply Beautiful dies (#166964).

I cut the solid background of the flower from the Beautiful Bokeh 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164607). The next 2 layers were cut from Basic White card (#166781) then the stamens from Crumb Cake card (#121685).

I added some colour to the centres of the white petals with a Blending Brush (#153611) and Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) and a Sponge Dauber (#133773) was used to colour the tips of the petals. The white petals and stamen were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683), then attached to the solid flower with a Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The leaves were cut with a die from the Natures Symphony dies (#166925). I used Nature Walk Designer Series Paper (#166912) and this gave a subtle variation to the leaves. I then cut this leaf into 3 pieces to place it where I wanted it around the flower. The leaves were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots.

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (#161600) and matted with Lost Lagoon card (#133686). The base card is also Basic White.

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) added glimmer to the flower, then I finished the card with the Low-Profile Sparkle Dots (#166157).
