Product Of The Month

Hi everyone,

Each month there is a new Product Of The Month which can be purchased at a reduced price with a qualifying order (in Australia it is $9 with a $125 order). These products are available while stocks last and will carry over if they are still in stock. This month’s Product of the Month is the Notes Of Spring stamp set (#167979).

I thought these cute little animals from this stamp set would make a great baby card.

The outline of the rabbit, duck & deer were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) which were set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

I stamped the inside area of the rabbit with Bubble Bath ink (#161664), Lemon Lolly ink (#161666) for the duck and Crumb Cake ink (#147116) for the deer.

The circles were cut with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183). The stamped images were attached to the coloured card - Bubble Bath (#161727), Lemon Lolly (#161729) and Crumb Cake (#121685) using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The card front is from the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper (#167977) which is also a Product Of The Month. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The circles were taped to the card. “Congratulations” is from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) and also Gold Embossed. Another die from the Stylish Shapes dies was used to cut the sentiment. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was added to each of the stamped images.

The embellishments are from the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots (#162758). The dot under the deer was coloured with a Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend (#154882).

Scalloped Wishes

Hi friends,

How cute are these dragonflies from the Scalloped Wishes Bundle (#167447). Do you find you use the larger images in a set and forget about the smaller ones? I do, so thought I would use the dragonflies without all the other images from this bundle.

The curved card and DSP were cut with a die from the Paradise Garden dies (#167120). The DSP is from the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper (#167977) and the coloured card is Secret Sea (#165296). After cutting the Secret Sea card with the die, I cut it in half (longways) and attached this to the DSP & sentiment.

“Happy Birthday” is from the stamp set from the Virtual Card Retreat (#170026) and stamped with Secret Sea ink (#165285).

These die cut pieces were attached to the Basic White card front (#166781) which was dry embossed with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder (#161600). This was matted with Secret Sea card.

The die cut dragonflies were cut with dies from the Scalloped Wishes dies (#167452) using the Tungsten from the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772). These were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The small stamped dragonflies are from the Scalloped Wishes stamp set (#167447) and stamped with Secret Sea ink and cut with a Scalloped Wishes die. I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach these to the card.

Product Of The Month

Hello again,

Each month there is a new Product Of The Month which in Australia you can get for $9 with a $125 order. February’s product of the month is the beautiful Painted Illusions 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#167977), which I have used on the background on this card.

The strips of DSP were attached to the Pretty Peacock card (#150886), then this was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I stamped the vases from the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set (#165161) with VersaMark (#102283) onto Pretty Peacock card and Lost Lagoon card (#133686). I added the white powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). An Inspiring Imperfections die (#165166) was used to cut the vases.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756). I stamped the words separately by covering the other word with a post it note when inking the stamp, so I could punch each word separately using the Three Banner Punch (#167050). Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) was used to stamp the sentiment.

The vase on the right was taped to the card and I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the other vase & sentiment. The embellishments are from the Low Profile Sparkle Dots (#166157).
