Artistic Dies

Hello my friends,

Here’s another card using the beautiful Artistic Dies (#155371). I had cut the image from the Silver Foil 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#156457) for another card but I wasn’t happy with the colour combination so used another colour for that card, so had to make another card with the Silver. Much happier with this one. The finished size of the card is 14cm x 14cm.

The base card is Smokey Slate (#131291), followed by Merry Merlot card (#147005) then Smokey Slate from the Neutrals 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#155226). I wrapped the Metallic Mesh Ribbon (#153550) around the card front.

The Silver Foil Specialty Paper had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) adhered to the back before cutting with the Artistic die. This was attached to the card with ease.

“Happy Anniversary” from the Always In My Heart stamp set (#158183) was stamped with Merry Merlot ink (#147112) using the Stamparatus (#148187). I then re stamped it with VersaMark (#102283) and sprinkled it with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was then cut with a die from the Floral Hearts Dies (#154306). This banner was then attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Just a note regarding the sentiment. With narrow and longer photopolymer stamps, you can easily make them curve which is what I have done with this stamp, so that it suited the curve on the banner. Just curve it as you are applying it to the clear acrylic block.

The Silver Foil is from the Mini Catalogue which you can order from on 3rd August. This pack has 3 different finishes - Brushed, Matte and Mirror Foil finish. I used the Matte finish on this card.

Stay safe & keep crafting!!

Cork Specialty Paper

Hi everyone,

Today I wanted to see if I could stamp on the new Cork 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#156393).

I thought the image from Free As A Bird stamp set (#149468) would look great on this cork paper. I stamped it with the Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and it worked beautifully. I did use the Stamparatus (#148187) so I could stamp a second time due to the slight unevenness of this cork paper. I mounted this onto a piece of Mossy Meadow card (#133683).

The base card and card front are Very Vanilla (#106550). I dry embossed the card front with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder (#152725). The Mossy Meadow DSP from the Neutrals 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#155226) was attached to the cardfront.

“Happy Birthday” from Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111), then cut with the banner die from the Bloom Dies (#155989). The sentiment and birds were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Encircled In Beauty Dies

Welcome Ladies & Guys,

I used the Encircled In Beauty Dies (#155546) to cut the designer paper and gold foil.

The Designer Series Paper is the 6”x6” Neutrals and I used the Merry Merlot colour. After cutting with the Encircled In Beauty Die I attached it to the same size piece of Basic White card (#159228). This was then attached to the Brushed Metallic cardstock (#153524). The Gold Shimmer Ribbon (#156470) was wrapped around the cardfront before attaching this to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment from Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) was stamped with Merry Merlot ink (#147112) and cut with an Ornate Frames die (#150664) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I cut a piece of Merry Merlot card (#147005) with a Layering Circles die (#151770) and attached this in the middle of the circle which was cut out by the detailed die. The next layer was also cut with another of these dies with the Brushed Metallic cardstock. This was attached on top of the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut the Merry Merlot heart with a die from Warm Wraps (#153521), then added a retired heart embellishment which worked perfectly for this card.
