Around It All dies

Hello friends,

The Around It All dies (#164725) includes 12 irregular circles in a variety of sizes. I have used 3 of them on this card.

I stamped the text image from the Elements Of Text stamp set (#164774) with Crumb Cake ink (#147116). The sentiment from So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink (#147086). The sentiment, stamped text and the Pumpkin Pie card (#108601) were all cut with the dies.

I stamped the splotches, also from the Elements Of Text stamp set, using Peach Pie ink (#163810) onto the Basic White card front (#159228). I cut a piece of the 2024-2026 In Colour Designer Series Paper (#163777) with the Take A Bow die (#164102) and attached it to the card front. The card front was matted with Pumpkin Pie card.

The Pumpkin Pie circle and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The butterflies are from the Paper Butterfly Accents (#162612) and coloured with Pumpkin Pie ink & Peach pie ink using Sponge Daubers (#133773). The smaller butterfly was attached to the larger butterfly with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the larger butterfly was attached to the card also with Mini Glue Dots. I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on both butterflies.

The embellishments used are the Antique Pearls (#164679).

Labelled With Love Dies

Hello & welcome,

The Labelled With Love dies (#163570) has a set of 3 dies exactly the same, making it easy to cut multiple pieces. If you prefer a punch, the Labelled With Love punch (#163569) is exactly the same size & shape as the dies. It’s great to have a choice.

I used the dies to cut the Splendid Autumn 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164173). “Happy Birthday” from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and cut with a Greetings Of The Season die (#164112). The silver from the Gold & Silver Trim Combo Pack (#161633) was threaded through the hole in the sentiment.

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Modern Herringbone Embossing Folder (#164908). This folder will be available online in November. I matted this with Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

The butterfly is from the Paper Butterfly Accents (#162612). I added Gorgeous Grape ink to colour the butterfly with a Sponge Dauber (#133773). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add glimmer to the butterfly.

The die cuts, sentiment & butterfly were all attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The Riverside Irregular Pearls (#164937) were added to the body of the butterfly.

Round We Go Dies

Hi again friends,

This is an easy fancy fold card and I have made the rosette using the Round We Go dies (#163729).

I cut 3 pieces with the die for the rosette from the Peach Pie from the 2042-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper Assortments pack (#163777). These were folded & attached together to make the rosette. I punch a circle and glued it to the back of the rosette to keep it in place. I then cut a circle with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183) from Peach Pie card (#163800) and glued that to the front. The glue used is the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

The butterfly from the Paper Butterfly Accents (#162612) was coloured with Peach Pie ink (#163810) and I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add glimmer to the butterfly. The embellishments are from the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems (#163781) and attached to the centre of the butterfly. The butterfly was attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The Basic White card (#159228) was cut with a Spotlight On Nature die (#163580) for the larger circle and the rosette was glued to this.

The base card is 13cm square and I scored the front for the fancy fold. I cut the triangles for the card front from Peach Pie card and Nature’s Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162616).

When attaching the circle to the card front only attach half the circle so it is only attached to the bottom triangle.

“Happy Birthday” from the Translucent Florals stamp set (#162243) was stamped with Peach Pie ink and cut with a Spotlight On Nature die. This was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I stamped a butterfly from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set (#163490) inside the card.

The Nature’s Sweetness 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162616) was matted with Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) and attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). An Everyday Details die (#162864) was used to create the design in the strip of Gorgeous Grape card then this was attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

An Unbounded Love die (#163383) was used to cut the Gold Foil (#132622). This was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). The sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099). This was also cut with the same die and placed inside the gold die cut.

The butterfly is from the Paper Butterfly Accents (#162612). I coloured this with Highland Heather ink (#147103) and Gorgeous Grape ink, using Blending Brushes (#153611). I added some glimmer using the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897). The butterfly was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are the Iridescent Foil Gems (#162842).

Enduring Beauty stamp set

Hello friends,

I guess this card is a variation from yesterday’s card but a totally different look. I used Designer Paper yesterday so with today’s card I have stamped the image in the 2 corners. I used a butterfly on both cards.

I stamped part of the image from the Enduring Beauty stamp set (#162670) on the 2 corners, onto Basic White card (#159228) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends to colour the image are Daffodil Delight (#154883), Bubble Bath (#161675), Fresh Freesia (#155518) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). I added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the flowers.

I punched the corners of the card with the Very Best Trio punch (#159878). The card front was matted with Basic Black card (#121688) and Crushed Curry card (#131288) and attached to the Basic White base card.

I coloured the Butterfly from the Paper Butterfly Accents (#162612) using Blending Brushes (#153611) with Lemon Lolly ink (#161666), Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) and Crushed Curry ink (#147087). I used the Basic Black Stampin’ Blends (#154843) for the feelers. The butterfly was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I cut very fine pieces to fit under the body. The gold gems from the Blooming Pearls (#162238) were added to the butterflies body. The yellow gems are from the Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems (#161300).

“Best Wishes” from Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) was stamped with Crushed Curry ink and cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

The Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper (#162133) is a carryover product from the last mini catalogue, so yes, it is still available. I have used it here for the card front.

I punched the corner of the DSP and the Moody Mauve card (#161732) with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878) then attached these to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The butterfly is from the Paper Butterfly Accents (#162612). I coloured the body with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#154882) and the feelers with Basic Black Stampin’ Blends (#154843). The next colour is Moody Mauve and I used a Blending Brush (#153611) with Mood Mauve ink (#161649). Then I applied Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138) with a Blending Brush. For the edges of the wings I used Misty Moonlight ink (#153118), this time using a Sponge Dauber (#133773). I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) for the sparkle on the butterfly.

I used a thin strip of Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) under the body of the butterfly to attach it to the card. “Just A Note” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Moody Mauve ink and cut with an All That die (#159078). This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The 3 small butterflies are from the Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136).

Paper Butterfly Accents

Hi crafty friends,

These beautiful butterflies are from the Paper Butterfly Accents (#162612). The pack contains 40 butterflies, 8 each of 5 sizes. I have used 2 of the sizes on this card. These die-cut butterflies are white so it’s easy to colour them in your choice of colours.

Using Blending Brushes (#153611) I added the Bubble Bath ink (#161664) to the centre of the butterfly. Then I added Boho Blue ink (#161650) and Orchid Oasis ink (#1592140) to the outside. On the smaller butterfly I used a dauber to add the Orchid Oasis to the edges as I only wanted a fine edge of colour. I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add glimmer to the butterflies.

The pattern of dots along the bottom of the Basic White card (#159228) was created with a die from the Everyday Details dies (#162864). I added a piece of the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162616) to the card front and matted this with Orchid Oasis card (#159265).

Using a Blending Brush with Orchid Oasis ink I coloured the Boho Blue Textured Ribbon (#161631). This is an easy way to get the coloured ribbon you want. The ribbon was wrapped around the matted card then attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment from the Wild Ferns stamp set (#162648) was stamped with Orchid Oasis ink and cut with an Everyday Details die. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The larger butterfly was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) along the body. The smaller butterfly was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments added to the body of the butterfly are from the Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs (#161954) and the gold butterflies are from the Brushed Brass Butterflies (#151136).

Perennial Lavender

Hello everyone,

Another beautiful suite in the mini catalogue is the Perennial Lavender Suite (#162613). This suite includes 2 bundles, butterfly accents, designer paper and embellishments. As usual you can buy them separately or as a bundle or suite. I love butterflies and purple colours so just couldn't resist this suite.

I punched the corners of the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (#162593) and the Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) with the Very Best Trio punch (#159878) then attached them to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The label was cut with a die from the Thoughtful Expressions Dies (#162821). The sentiment was stamped with Highland Heather ink (#147103) and taped to the card front.

I coloured the butterfly from the Paper Butterfly Accents (#162612) using a Blending Brush (#153611) with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147011 and Fresh Freesia ink (#155611). There are 40 butterflies in this pack - 8 each of 5 sizes and designs.

The stems of flowers and leaves were cut with the Painted Lavender dies (#162596). I used Highland Heather card (#147010) and Lost Lagoon card (#133686). For the Lost Lagoon leaves I had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of the card. The flowers were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The butterfly was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Purple Fine Shimmer Gems (#162611) were added to the centre of the butterfly and sentiment.
