Beautiful World Masculine Card

Hi again,

When a new catalogue arrives with lots of new products, it’s sometimes easy to forget about some of the “old” stamp sets, so I have combined “old” & new stamp sets in this masculine card. These “old” sets are still of course available in the current catalogue.

I stamped the frame from the Swirly Frames stamp set (#p146519) with Misty Moonlight ink (#153118). The Scripty verse is from the Very Versailles stamp set (#c149275) and stamped with Smokey Slate ink (#147113). I cut this Whisper White card with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820). Both the world map and the sentiment are from the Beautiful World stamp set (#c152994) and I used Misty Moonlight ink to stamp them. These were then cut with one of the Layering Circles Dies (#151770). The Bronze card from the Brushed Metallic 12”x12” cardstock was dry embossed with the Old World Paper 3D embossing Folder (#152725). The Brushed Metallic card pack includes Bronze, Copper & Gold and all have a beautiful brushed finish.

Have a crafty day!!

Butterfly Beauty Dies

Hi everyone,

I was reminded recently of this technique using ink refills and Water Painters (#512298).

Using a variety of ink refills and a Water Painter, I randomly coloured a piece of the Shimmery White card (#121717) as shown above. (This photo is another piece I coloured as I didn’t photograph the piece before I cut it). Shimmery White card is perfect for watercolouring, so great for this technique. You can get more subtle colours by using more water when colouring. You can allow this to air dry or use the Heat Tool (#129056) for a quicker result. Once dried I cut the coloured card using the Butterfly Beauty base Die (#151819). Then the Brass Foil Sheet (#153057) was cut with the “outline” die from the same set. I had used the Adhesive Sheets (#152334) on the back of the foil sheets before cutting, which makes it so easy to adhere this more detailed die-cut piece. The Whisper White card front (#106549) was embossed with the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder (#153200). The butterflies were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The sentiment is from the Blossoms In Bloom stamp set (#p152684) and stamped with Highland Heather ink (#147103). The die to cut the sentiment is one of the Stitched Rectangles Dies (#152323). This was attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The beautiful Gilded Gems (#152478) were added to finish the card.

Enjoy your day & keep crafting!!
