Botanical Glow Sympathy card

 Hi everyone,

I am in need of some Sympathy cards so couldn't go past the Botanical Glow Hot Foil Dies Bundle (#170057). I have also used some retired products.

I used the Botanical Glow Hot Foil Dies (#170056) with Gold Foil (#170066) on Basic White card (#166781). I then stamped the leaves from the Botanical Glow stamp set (#170054) with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102).

The doves are cut from the retired Peace On Earth dies using (retired) Brushed Metallic Cardstock.

The card front was matted with the Gold card and attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment from the (retired) So Sincere stamp set was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment and the gold card were cut with a Nested Essentials die (#161597). The sentiment and doves were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

This is a larger card, using A4 card folded in half.

Swirls Of Magic Embossing Folder

 Welcome everyone,

There is a great range of new products now available from the Online exclusives, including this beautiful Swirls Of Magic Embossing Folder (#168179), which will be suitable for all types of celebrations.

I cut 4 different colours of card 4cm x 11cm and cut diagonally from top left to bottom right. Another piece (cut the same size) was cut into a triangle, from the top left and top right, to the midpoint (2cm) at the bottom. This piece fitted in the middle. The card used is Crushed Curry (#131288), Daffodil Delight (#121680), Darling Duckling (#165294) and Lemon Lolly (#161729).

I dry embossed these pieces of card with the embossing folder then taped them to a piece of Very Vanilla card (#166785) - 9cm x 13.4cm. I then cut the excess DSP off around the card. This was matted with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). I wrapped the Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essentials Pack (#155475) around the card front, then attached it to the Very Vanilla base card.

The balloons are from the Addressed To You stamp set (#167010) and the sentiment is from the Exciting Times stamp set (#167875). These were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Heat Embossed with Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The balloons were cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183) and the sentiment with a Nested Essentials die (#161597). These were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).  The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to the card.

Greenery Lane Bundle

 Hi again friends,

I have used the same template on this card as I did on the card on 8th January. For that one I used the Fragrant Layers stamp set for the flowers and today I have used the Greenery Lane Bundle (#166877) for all the leaves for a more masculine card. However it would also be suitable for a female card.

For the card front, and the three rectangular pieces cut with the Nested Essentials dies (#161597),  I have used the Pastel Shimmer Specialty paper (#167198). I dry embossed the card front with the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder 164069) and matted it with the Basic Black card (#121688), then attached it to the Basic White base card (#166781). I taped the 3 rectangles to the card front.

The leaves from the Greenery Lane stamp set (#166870) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends used to colour the leaves are Lost Lagoon (#161680), Pool Party (#154894), Summer Splash (#163826) and Daffodil Delight (#154883).

The leaves were cut with the Greenery Lane dies (#166876) and they were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The sentiment from the (retired) So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). I daubered the edges with Pool Party ink (#147107).  Stampin’ Dimensionals (#10430) were used to attach this to the card. Antique Pearls (#164679) were added to finish the card.

Fragrant Layers

 Hello again everyone,

This floral image is from the Fragrant Layers stamp set (#167150). This is a Two-Step set where you can stamp the outline image, then colour the inside with another stamp. However I have chosen to colour the image with Stampin’ Blends. It’s great to have options.

The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#166781). The flowers were coloured with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675), the leaves with Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894) and the flower centres with Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends (#161673). I chose these colours as they are the colours in the Pastels Shimmer Specialty Paper (#167198) which I have used on this card. The floral image was fussy cut.

The Bubble Bath card front from this specialty paper was dry embossed with the Beautiful Pattern 3D Embossing Folder (#167097) and matted with Basic Black card (#121688). The Lemon Lolly and Pool Party shimmer papers were cut with a die from the Nested Essentials dies (#161597). These were taped to the card.

“With Love” from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and cut with a Beautiful Butterflies dies (#164614).

The floral image and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I cut some leaves using dies from the Fragrant Layers Dies (#167154) using Pool Party card (#124391). I added some extra colour to the leaves with a Sponge Dauber (#133773) & Pool Party ink (#147107). These were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the floral image. The Pearlised Faceted Circles (#166978) were the embellishments added to the card.

Trucking Along

 Hello friends,

A masculine card today using the Trucking Along stamp set (#162299).

I stamped the blue for the truck with Night Of Navy ink (#147110) using the stamping off method. To do this, ink your stamp, stamp it on scrap paper then stamp onto your card. This gives a lighter image. I then stamped the outline image of the truck with VersaMark (#102283) and sprinkled it with Silver from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The Trucking Along Builder Punch (#162305) was used to punch the truck.

I cut the Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) and the Silver Foil Sheet (#163387) with Nested Essentials dies (#161597). The sentiment is from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) and was stamped with Night Of Navy ink. This was also cut with a Nested Essentials die.

The card front is from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393). I stamped the timber grain from the Textured Timber Stamp set (#163656) with VersaMark & Silver embossing powder onto the left side of the DSP. The card front was matted with Cherry Cobbler card and attached to the Basic White base card.

The truck was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).
