Butterfly Brilliance & Brilliant Wings

Hello again,

I am using one of the butterflies left from yesterdays card and I love the lovely subtle colours on this card.

If you didn't see yesterdays card just check it so you can see how I coloured & stamped the butterflies. I had some extra card which I used to cut the leaves. The dies to cut theses leaves are from the Flowers Of Home dies (#157938).

I used Basic White card (#159228) for everything on this card. I dry embossed a piece with one of the Basic Embossing Folders (#161598). I used another piece which I backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting with an Organic Beauty Die (#158983) for the diamond design. I attached this to the dry embossed card.

The 3 circles were cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183). “Sending Hugs” from Eden’s Garden stamp set (#157823) was stamped with Pale Papaya ink (#155670). The circles & leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the butterfly was attached with Stampin Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are the Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls (#160449).

The retiring products used today are the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set, Brilliant Wings dies, Organic Beauty Dies, Flowers Of Home dies & Pale Papaya ink.

Cottage Rose

Hello stamping friends.

I have made my own mask for the background of the card front using a die from the Organic Beauty dies (#158983).

After cutting with the die, I placed the die-cut piece which I used as a mask onto the card front  (so this wasn’t actually attached to the card) and blended Orchid Oasis ink (#159214) using a Blending Brush (#153611). The card front was matted with Orchid Oasis card (#159265) then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The floral image from the Cottage Rose stamp set (#159040) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends to colour this are Balmy Blue (#154830). Orchid Oasis (#159223) and Daffodil Delight (#154883). I cut this image as well as the gold foil pieces from the Brushed Metallic card stock (#153524) with the Cottage Flowers Dies (#159047). As usual I had backed the gold foil with Adhesive Sheets (#152334) before cutting with the dies, which makes it easy to attach these fine die cuts.

“Happy Birthday” from the Cottage Rose stamp set was stamped with Orchid Oasis ink. A Stylish Shapes die (#159183) was used to cut the sentiment. The Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was attached to the card under the sentiment. The sentiment and floral image were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Don’t forget to check out the weekly specials for September and also the Perfect Partners which are only available till the end of September.

Hello Ladybug

Hi everyone,

I have used the Hello Ladybug stamp set (#157693) and the Ladybug Builder Punch (#157698) for this cute lady bug.

The body of the ladybug was punched from Basic Black card (#121688). The wings were stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) and Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (#132708). This and the Vellum (#106584) wings were punched with the Ladybug Builder punch. The wings were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The leaves from the Hello Ladybug stamp set were stamped with Pear Pizzaz ink (#147104) and then fussy cut. The flowers were stamped with Mango Melody ink (#147093) and Daffodil Delight ink (#147094), then punched with the Medium Daisy punch (#149517).

“Thinking Of You” is from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) and cut with a Seasonal Labels die (#156299).

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder (#158804). Using a Blending Brush (#153611) and Pear Pizzaz ink I lightly coloured the embossed leaves.

 I cut another piece of Basic White card backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) with a die from the Organic Beauty dies (#158983) and attached this to the dry embossed card. All the stamped images were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Glossy Dots (#158827) were added to the flower centres.

Wonderful World Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

There are so many beautiful Sale-a-bration products which are available till the 31st August with qualifying sales. The Wonderful World stamp set plus the Wonderful World Designer Series Paper (#159918) are free with a $180 purchase (in Australia).

I fussy cut 2 of the flowers from one of the sheets of DSP. I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the flowers for some glimmer.

The base card is Basic White (#159228). I adhered Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to another piece of Basic White card and cut this with the die from the Organic Beauty Dies (#158983). This was trimmed so it was slightly smaller than the frame (which was attached on top.) The die-cut was attached to the base card. The frame was cut with a Fabulous Frames Die (#159163) using Foil from the Silver Foil 12”x12” Specialty Pack (#156457). This was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). “Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink (#147091) and cut with a Frosted Flurry die (#159811) and also attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Cottage Rose

Hello stamping friends,

Again I have used the gorgeous flower from the Cottage Rose stamp set (#159040). As I said previously, this is my favourite stamp set from this current catalogue.

The floral image and the extra leaves were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Basic White card (#159228). The flower was coloured with Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends (#159224) for the darker areas, then I lightly coloured it with a Blending Brush (#153611) and Sweet Sorbet ink (#159216). The leaves were coloured with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885). I used Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) for the tiny flowers. These were cut with the Cottage Flowers dies (#159047).

I backed the Gold paper from the Gold & Rose Gold Metallic Specialty Paper (#156844) with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), then cut this with the die from the Organic Beauty Dies (#158983). I used the diamonds from this instead of the outline of the “trellis”. To place these diamonds, I placed the outline onto the white card with out it sticking to the card, and adhered the diamonds in place, so they were all attached uniformly.

The top of the card front was dry embossed with one of the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folders (#159170). The floral image was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) & Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The small gold die-cut leaves & flowers are cut with dies from the Cottage Flowers dies and the piece under the sentiment is cut with a Painted Labels Die (#151605). I also used the Gold Metallic Specialty Paper for these. The sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink and cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to attach this to the card.
