Calm & Quiet stamp set

Hello again friends,

The Calm & Quiet stamp set (#161611) is a hostess set and also retiring. Here is an easy card using one of the images from this set.

I stamped the image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). I coloured this with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885), Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) and Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends (#154830). I used a Blending Brush (#153611) with Balmy Blue ink (#147105) and very lightly added the colour to the sky.

The stamped image and the Night Of Navy card (#106577) were both cut with the Deckled Circles Dies (#162286) and these were taped together.

The DSP from the Let’s Go Fishing12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#161534) was matted with Night Of Navy card and attached to the Basic White base card.

“Happy Birthday” was cut with the Wanted To Say dies (#161594) using Basic White card & Night Of Navy card. I adhered Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to the back of the white card before cutting with the die.

The sentiment & circles were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The retiring products are the Calm & Quiet stamp set and the Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper.

I have used the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set (#157983) on this easy & cute card. This is another retiring product.

The hedgehog was stamped with Crumb Cake ink (#147116) and the butterfly with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094). Both these were fussy cut and attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The Real Red card (#106578) was dry embossed with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406) and attached to the Basic White base card. The letters were cut with the Mini Alphabet dies (#162934) using Basic Black card (#121688) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

Artistic dies

Hi friends,

The die for this beautiful floral image is from the Artistic Dies (#155371).

I used Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) which was backed with Adhesive Sheets (#152334). The Orchid Oasis card front (#159265) was dry embossed with one of the Basics Embossing Folder (#161598). I wrapped the Orchid Oasis Metallic Woven Ribbon (#159199) around the card front, then attached this to the Basic White base card (#159228).

I cut a piece of Basic White card with the same floral die and just attach the piece that fitted in with the flower.

“Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Orchid Oasis ink (#159214). This was cut with an Enduring Beauty Die (#162672). Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the sentiment to the card.

Petal Park

Hello everyone,

At this time of the year when there are products retiring from both the Annual and Mini catalogues, I like to highlight some of these products which I have probably ignored for a while. So I have used a variety of retiring products on this card.

The flowers are from the Petal Park stamp set (#160571). I stamped these using Sweet Sorbet ink (#159216), Orchid Oasis ink (#159214) and Daffodil Delight ink (#147094). I stamped the outline with the inks as normal, then for the “inside” colour, I inked the stamp, stamped it off onto a scrap of paper to achieve a lighter colour then stamped the flower. These flowers were punched with the co-ordinating Petal Park Builder Punch (#160576).

I stamped the leafy image from the Dainty Delight stamp set (#161078) using Parakeet Party ink (#159208) onto the Basic White card front (#159228). I then dry embossed this card with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317). The white card was double matted with Sweet Sorbet card (#159266) and Orchid Oasis card (#159265) then attached to the Basic White base card.

I attached the flowers to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430), Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Best Wishes” from Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) was stamped with Orchid Oasis ink then cut with an All That die (#159078) and attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The retiring products are the Petal Park stamp set, Petal Park Builder punch, Dainty Delight stamp set, Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder, Artistically Inked stamp set, All That dies, Sweet Sorbet ink & card, Orchid Oasis ink & card and Parakeet Party ink.

Designer Tags dies

Hi stamping friends,

The Designer Tags Dies (#159165) have been used today on this card. This is another of the retiring products from the Annual catalogue.

These dies were used to cut the floral image on the Basic White card (#159228), the 2 labels and the butterfly. I cut the floral image again with Pear Pizzaz card (#131290) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). I attached the Basic White card front to the Merry Merlot card (#147005). Then I added the pieces of the leaves into the corresponding cut outs.

The sentiment from the Peaceful Moment stamp set (#151595) was stamped with Merry Merlot ink (#147112). I used the Brushed Metallic Card stock (#153524) for the detailed die cut label and butterfly. The labels were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the butterfly with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) were added to the card. The Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was threaded through the labels.

The retiring products are the Designer Tags Dies, Peaceful Moments stamp set, Merry Merlot card & ink & Pear Pizzaz card.

Positive Thoughts stamp set

Hello stamping friends,

The retiring list for the soon to be retired Annual Catalogue is now available and you can find all the retiring products on the link below-

You will find some great bargains, but don't delay as they are available while stocks last.

Today’s card is using some retiring products.

I stamped the fern from Positive Thoughts stamp set (#151490) with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) onto Very Vanilla card (#106550). The words are also from this stamp set and stamped 3 times with Crumb Cake ink (#147116). I then cut the rectangle using a die from Natures Thoughts Dies (#153586).

I attached the outside “frame” to a piece of Mango Melody card (#147013). Then I attached the inside rectangle with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). This allows you to see a small amount of the Mango Melody card underneath. The card front was attached to the Pear Pizzaz base card (#131290).

The butterfly is stamped with Mango Melody ink (#147093) then cut with the co-ordinating Natures Thoughts Die. A Stampin’ Dimensional was used in the centre of the butterfly to attach this to the card.

The feathers are cut with another of the Natures Thoughts dies using the 3 gold colours from the Brushed Metallic 12”x12” Cardstock (#153524) and attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The embellishments are from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#150457).

The retiring products used here are the Positive Thoughts stamp set, Natures Thoughts Dies and the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Sea Of Textures

Hi friends,

Today’s card is another highlighting some retiring products.

The base card is Merry Merlot (#147005) and the cardfront is Very Vanilla (#106550). I stamped the cardfront with 2 images from the Sea Of Textures stamp set (#c151267) using Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) and Crumb Cake (#121685). I embossed the Very Vanilla card with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder (#151775). The octopus was stamped with Merry Merlot ink (#147112). The dies from the Under The Sea (#146334) cut the octopus, net and seaweed. I used the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper (#151252) for the net and seaweed. Both these papers have a fine pattern which I thought looked great for these. The Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309) was used to attach the net and seaweed, and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) for the octopus. The sentiment is from the Stitched All Around stamp set (#151287), stamped with Merry Merlot ink and I used the die from the Merry Christmas Dies (#147912) to cut it.

The retiring products are Sea Of Textures stamp set, Under the Sea dies, Tropical Oasis DSP, Stitched All Around stamp set, Merry Christmas Dies.

Stay safe and Keep crafting!!

Shimmer Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper

Hello everyone,

With the lead up to the new catalogue in June, I have started to sort out some of my retiring products, so over the next couple of weeks I will try to use some of these products.

I chose two of the beautiful laser cut designs from the Shimmer Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (#149611). One is a border design and the other is the size of the card. These were glued with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). The sentiment from the Painted Glass stamp set (#c148220) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with the Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129), which is set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I used the Pretty Label Punch (#143715) to punch the sentiment, then I sponged the edges with Crumb Cake ink (#147116). The fine leaves are cut from Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) with a Birthday Die (#152590) and attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The retiring products used here are the Laser -Cut Specialty Paper, Pretty Label punch, Painted Glass stamp set and Birthday Dies.
