Elegantly Said stamp set

Hello & welcome again,

Today I am using a retiring stamp set - the Elegantly Said stamp set (#155095).

I stamped the beautiful flourish image several times on the Basic White card (#159228). I used VersaMark (#102283) and sprinkled this White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I then lightly coloured the card using Blending Brushes (#153611) with Polished Pink ink (#155712), Fresh Freesia ink (#155611), Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) and Coastal Cabana ink (#147097).

I attached the white card to a piece of the Brushed Metallic 12”x12” cardstock (#153524). The Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon (#155615) was wrapped around the card front before attaching this to the Basic White base card.

The flower and the sentiment are both from the Elegantly Said stamp set and stamped with Fresh Freesia ink. I stamped the flower using the Stamparatus (#148187). Once I stamped with the ink, I then re-stamped it with VersaMark and used Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) and set with the Heat Tool. This gives the shiny embossed look with the colour of ink used.

The flower was cut with a Painted Labels Die (#151605) and the sentiment and the gold were cut with the Hippo & Friends Dies (#153585). The flower & sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Pastel Pearls (#154571) were added to the card.

Good Morning Magnolia

Hello & welcome again,

Again I am using some retiring products on this card. The stamp set is Good Morning Magnolia (#149298).

The 3 flowers were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Basic White card (#159228), then cut with a Magnolia Memory Die (#149578). The flowers were coloured with Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends (#154893) and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends (#154902).

The stitching on the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (#152483) was created with the Stitched With Whimsy Dies (#155314). This was then matted with Basic Black card (#121688) and attached to the Basic White base card.

A die from the Painted Labels (#151605) cut the “circle”.  Two magnolias were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I attached the Gold Trim (already retired) with Mini Glue Dots (#103683), then added the sentiment with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The sentiment is from the Borders Abound stamp set (#152627) and stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. A Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820) was used to cut the sentiment. The Gold Glitter Enamel Dots (#152155) were added to the card.

Fanciful Fragrance

Hello,

The Fanciful Fragrance stamp set (#c149281) which is where you will find these stamped flowers, is another of the retiring products.

I stamped the floral image 3 times using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708), then fussy cut them. I coloured them with Stampin’ Blends using Light Real Red (#147933), Light Shaded Spruce (#147936) and Light Mango Melody (#147943). The base card is Real Red (#106578) and Whisper White card (#106549) has been used for the card front. The white card was embossed with the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder (#151503) and I wrapped the Real Red 3/8” Double-Stitched Satin Ribbon (#151155) around this. The Silver Foil Sheet (#132178) was cut with a die from the Painted Labels Dies (#151605) and this was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The floral images were also attached with Dimensionals. “Thank You For Caring” is from the Label Me Pretty stamp set (#c151220) and stamped with Real Red ink (#106578) and punched with the 1-3/8” Scallop Circle (#146139). The trio of Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#146924) were added to the top right of the card and I also added some to the flower centres.

Positive Thoughts & Nature’s Thought Dies

Hello,

I was so pleased when the Nature’s Thoughts Dies (#153586) became available to co-ordinate with the Positive Thoughts stamp set (#c151490). This card is 21x15cm, so A4 cardstock folded in half.

I used Whisper White card (#106549) and Gorgeous Grape card (#147011). I stamped the ferns from the Positive Thoughts stamp set with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Shimmer White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#149511). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The Silver Glimmer Paper (#146960) was cut with a die from the Painted Labels Dies (#151605) and attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The flowers and butterfly from Positive Thoughts stamp set were stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099), using the stamping off method for the flowers. I stamped the butterfly onto Vellum (#106584) and attached this to a butterfly cut out from Gorgeous Grape card. The Gorgeous Grape leaves were cut with a die from the Natures Thoughts Dies, and the Silver Foil (#132178) was cut with a die from the Birthday Dies (#153590). The detailed border piece was cut with a die also from Natures Thoughts. The sentiment is also from the Positive Thoughts stamp set and cut with a Layering Circles Die (#141705).

Painted Poppies Bundle

Hi & Welcome,

Yes, I do love the poppies in the 2020 Mini catalogue. There are 2 bundles with poppies, designer series paper and lots more. Here I have used the Painted Poppies Bundle (#c153827).

I used Whisper White card (#106549) for the base and the card front. For the background I sprinkled the Granny Apple Green Pigment Sprinkles (#149663) onto the card, then normally I would spritz with water, but this time I spritz it with Frosted White Shimmer Paint (#147046) which gives a lovely shine to the card, as well as activating the sprinkles. I used the Heat Tool (#129056) to dry the card. Remember, you only need a small amount if pigment sprinkles - a little goes a long way. The Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper (#151324) was attached to the card front as well as the Real Red 3/8” Double-Stitched Satin Ribbon (#151155). The poppies from the Painted Poppies stamp set (#151599) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Real Red card (#106578). The leaves were stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) onto Granny Apple Green card (#147014). The poppies and leaves were cut with the Painted Labels Dies (#151605). I added some glitter to the centre of the poppies with the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897). The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) and stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) and cut with another of the Painted Labels Dies. The sentiment and the 2 small poppies were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I hope you are enjoying all the new products in the Mini Catalogue as well as Sale-a-bration like I am.

Have a great day.
