Prairie Grass stamp set

Hello everyone,

I love the grass in the Prairie Grass stamp set (#166168) and have used it on this card.

I stamped onto the Thoughtful Journey 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#163303) using VersaMark (#102283). I added the Silver powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I re-stamped again, and slightly offsetting it, and this time adding Black from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679). This was heat set.

I then used 2 of the dies from the Textured Notes dies (#165555) to cut the rectangles from the DSP. I taped the outside piece of DSP to Shaded Spruce card (#147006). I used Foam Adhesive Sheets (#152815) cut into thin strips to attach the next piece so it was raised up. I taped the inside piece.

“With Love” is from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) and stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088). A Beautiful Butterflies die (#164614) was used to cut the sentiment. This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The retired Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems were added to the card.

Nests Of Winter Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

The beautiful Nests Of Winter Designer Series Paper (#164183) is where you will find these birds on the branches.

I cut the birds with the now retired Winterly Tree Tops dies. If you don’t have these, this image is easy to fussy cut. The leaves are cut with the Charming Day dies (#166135) using Shaded Spruce card (#147006) and Summer Splash card (#163798). Both these cards were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The Daffodil Delight Card (#121680) was dry embossed with the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder (#164069) and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I cut a piece of Basic White card and Bright Copper from the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772) with a die from the Impressions Abloom dies (#165610). I stamped the grass from the Prairie Grass stamp set (#166168) with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) onto the white card. This card was taped to the card front and the Copper frame was glued with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

The birds were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments from the Low Profile Sparkle Dots (#166157).

Double scrapbook layout

Hello friends,

My husband took photos of yesterday’s sunrise so had to scrapbook them.

The photos are matted with Basic Black card (#121688) and Peach Pie card (#163880). The base pages are from retired Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper. (If we keep it long enough it will come in handy!!)

I stamped the grasses from the Prairie Grass stamp set (#166168) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708).

I cut the “diamonds” using dies from the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183), using Basic Black card, Peach Pie card and Azure Afternoon card (#161728).

The letters for “Sunrise” were cut with the Mini Alphabet Dies (#162934), using Basic Black card backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). When I cut these letters, I always have many of the letters left over so put them away for another project. I had all these letters put aside which was very handy.

The lines for the note paper are from the Just A Note stamp set (#166098). This was stamped onto Very Vanilla card (#166785) with Basic Gray ink (#121689), then cut with the Just A Note die (#166101). The bulldog clip was also cut with one of these dies using Basic Black card. The Just A Note stamp set and dies are also available in the Just A Note Bundle (#166102). As usual you save 10% on all bundles.

Prairie Grass stamp set

Hello friends,

I am loving the grass images from the Prairie Grass stamp set (#166168). Here’s another easy but elegant card using this stamp set.

I cut the 4 different designs from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393). These measure 3cms x 9cms. I placed them onto the grid paper with the spaces between them. Then I stamped the image with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Black powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The DSP was then taped to the Basic Black card (#121688), then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“Thinking Of You” from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set (#165198) was also heat embossed with Black powder. I used the More Messages die (#165472) to cut the sentiment. The Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems (#161288) were added to the card. These are on the Last Chance list, so available while stocks last.

Prairie Grass

Hi again everyone,

A lovely card using the grass from the Prairie Grass stamp set (#166168).

I stamped the grass with VersaMark (#102283) onto the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (#163303). I added the Copper powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The Pretty Peacock card (#150886) was dry embossed with the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder (#164695). The DSP was attached to this card, then attached to the Basic White Base card (#166781).

The sentiment is also from the Prairie Grass stamp set and heat embossed with Copper. This was cut with a Happy Hibiscus die (#164879). I added a bit of colour to part of the sentiment using a Blending Brush (#153611) with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the sentiment to the card.
