Inspirational Sketches

Hi my friends,

Here I have used the Everyday Details dies (#162864) together with the Inspirational Sketches stamp set (#162684).

I stamped the flowers from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set with Fresh Freesia ink (#155611) on Very Vanilla card (#106550). All the circles are cut with the Everyday Details dies. The coloured card used is Fresh Freesia (#155614), Bubble Bath (#161727) and Highland Heather (#147010).

The Very Vanilla card front was dry embossed with the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder (#158655) and matted with Fresh Freesia card, then attached to the Very Vanilla base card. The larger circle was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I used Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) to cut “Hello”. This was cut and embossed with the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder (#162927). Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683) were used to attach the sentiment. The Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls (#160449) were added to the card.

Adoring Hearts

Hi friends,

A pretty card today using subtle colours and the Adoring Hearts Bundle (#162570). This bundle includes the Adoring Bundle stamp set (#162563) and the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder (#162569). This embossing folder includes dies which can be used separately or the dies fit into the embossing folder and will cut and emboss all at one time. The embossing folder can also be used separately like any other embossing folder.

I stamped the heart from the stamp set with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). I cut this Basic White card (#159228) and the Bubble Bath card (#161727) with a die from the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183).

I cut and embossed the Bubble Bath heart with the Hybrid Embossing Folder and attached it over the stamped image with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I cut the banner for the sentiment with one of the dies from the same set and stamped the sentiment with Berry Burst ink (#147143).

I cut the edge of the Basic White card front with a Darling Details Die (#161370), then I dry embossed the card with the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder (#158655). This was matted with Bubble Bath card. I wrapped the retired Iridescent Ribbon around the card front then attached this to the Basic White base card.

The Bubble Bath square was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the white square was taped on top and offset. The sentiment was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The card was finished by adding the Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs (#161954).

Hello again my stamping friends,

The Two-Tone Flora stamp set (#160844) is a Two-step stamp set which allows you to create beautiful images in 2 simple steps.

The flowers were stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink (#159216) and Crushed Curry ink (#147087). I stamped the outline, then using the stamping off method to get a lighter colour I stamped the second image to give you the 2 tones of colour. The leaves from the same stamp set were stamped with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111). The flowers & leaves were cut with the Two-Tone Flora Dies (#159181).

I cut a piece of Basic White card (#159228) with one of the Elegant Borders Dies (#161593), then dry embossed it with the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder (#158655).

I attached a piece of the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237) to the Basic White base card then attached the die cut & embossed card on top.

“Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink and cut with a Tailor Made Tags die (#155563). I attached the sentiment, flowers and leaves with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add sparkle to the flowers and the Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) were added to the card.

Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi my friends,

I am always trying to use my bits and pieces of Designer Series Paper so here I have used some Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper (#158808) and the beautiful Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237).

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder (#158655). I decided to use the back or de-embossed side, and attached this to the Basic White card base.

I attached the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper and Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper to the card. A die from the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183) was used to cut the circle. This DSP is also from the Texture Chic.

I stamped the tea cup from the Cup Of Tea stamp set (#158661) using VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Stampin’Emboss Powder (#155555) and set this with the Heat Tool (#129056). A co-ordinating die from the Teacup Dies (#160186) cut the cup. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach this to the card.

“Thinking Of You” is from the Season Of Chic stamp set (#158810) and this was also gold embossed. The sentiment & the Gold Foil (#132622) under the sentiment were cut with Stylish Shapes Dies.

TIP: Some of the embossing folders are suitable to use the front or the back, so just look at both sides to see which one you like.
