Perfectly Detailed

Hello friends,

I have used the Perfectly Detailed Background stamp (#160748) on this card for another easy card.

This was stamped onto the Fine Shimmer Paper (#160428) using VersaMark (#102283), then I added the White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) and set this with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was then matted with Highland Heather card (#147010) and attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The sentiment from the Flowering Tulips stamp set (#157672) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099). I cut this and the pieces of Highland Heather card under the sentiment with dies from the Seasonal Labels dies (#156299). The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The Highland Heather card on either end of the sentiment was cut with the same die as the sentiment. I cut this in half and attached it to matt either end of the sentiment. The other piece of Highland Heather card under the sentiment was cut with another die.

Enchanting Details Dies

Hello friends,

On this card the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237) had been cut with an Enchanting Details Die (#159166).

As usual I had the Gold paper backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting with the die. I used this adhesive for detailed die cuts for ease of  adhering to the card. This was attached to the Very Vanilla card (#106550). This was then matted with the Orchid Oasis card (#159265). I wrapped the Orchid Oasis Metallic Woven Ribbon (#159199) around the card, then attached this to the Very Vanilla base card.

“Thinking Of You” is from my favourite sentiment stamp set - Go To Greetings (#158763). A Seasonal Labels Die (#156299) was used to cut the sentiment. Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach this to the card.

The butterflies from the Brilliant Wings dies (#155523) were cut from Orchid Oasis card and attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). If the Dimensionals are too large, just cut them. I find the edges of the Dimensionals are great to cut thin strips just perfect for the centre of the butterfly.

The Opal Rounds (#154289) were attached to the butterflies and label.

Split Card Textures dies

Hello and welcome again,

Firstly, my apologies for being absent for so long. In my last post I said I would be having a break for about 10 days but didn't expect it to be this long. I was going on a short holiday but after 5 days was tested positive for Covid. I still thought I would only be feeling unwell for perhaps a week, but it is now 15 days and still not over it. However today is the first day I have felt like doing anything in the craft room.

I have used one of the 2 dies from the Split Card Textures Dies (#159162) to cut the Basic White card (#159228).

This was attached to the Sweet Sorbet base card (#159266). The leaves from the Forever Fern stamp set (#152559) were stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) for the larger leaves, and Parakeet Party ink (#159208) for the smaller leaves. The Forever Flourishing Dies (#152714) were used to cut the stamped leaves and the Gold Foil (#132622) leaves. The Gold Foil was backed with the Adhesive Sheets (#152334). The larger leaves were attached using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Thinking Of You is from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) and stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink (#159216). I used a Seasonal Labels Die (#156299) to cut the sentiment. This was also attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I hope you are all keeping well.

Festive Foliage

Hi everyone,

I love when you can use a stamp or other product for a variety of occasions. The Festive Foliage stamp set (#155634) is basically a Christmas stamp, I guess mainly because it has holly leaves but it also has a lovely range of leaves. So I have made 2 cards today, one for Christmas and the other a birthday card using this background stamp. On the birthday card I covered the holly leaves with flowers so there is nothing on there to indicate Christmas, so it’s now a stamp you can use all year round so don’t you love that!!

I stamped the first card with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I used Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) for the birthday card. I coloured the leaves with a variety of green Stampin’ Blends - Granny Apple Green (#154885), Soft Succulent (#155521), Soft Sea Foam (#154902), Old Olive (#154892), Mossy Meadow (#154890) and Just Jade (#153107). I used the Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends (#154958) to add some colour to the dots on the Birthday card.

For the Christmas card, I gold embossed the sentiment from the Christmas To Remember stamp set (#156300). The labels from the Seasonal Labels Dies (#156299) were used the cut the sentiment as well as the Gold Foil (#132622) and the Just Jade card (#153084) under the sentiment. The gold label was cut in half and attached to the sentiment showing more of the label on each side than if it was 1 piece. The labels were then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The beautiful Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots (#156506) adds some bling to the card.

For the Birthday card I stamped the flowers from Timeless Tropical stamp set (#151497) using Daffodil Delight ink (#147094), then cut these with the In The Tropics Dies (#151495). Happy Birthday from Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) was stamped with VersaMark onto Daffodil Delight card (#121680) and heat embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554). The die from the Seasonal Labels was used to cut the sentiment. 2 of the flowers and the sentiment were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). These were arranged to cover the holly leaves. The Cherry Cobbler gems from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#150457) were used for the bling on this card.

I hope this has given you an idea on how to get more use from some of your stamps.

Christmas Season

Hello again,

The Christmas Season stamp set (#156293) consists of a variety of leaves and pinecones, some of which have been used on this card.

The Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper (#156292) was matted with Evening Evergreen card (#155575), then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The Soft Succulent card (#155777) was cut with a Scalloped Contours Die (#155560). I cut a piece of the Soft Succulent from the 2021-2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum (#155616) and attached it to the Soft Succulent scalloped card.

The leaves were stamped with Evening Evergreen ink (#155576) and the pinecones with Crumb Cake ink (#147116) and Early Espresso ink (#147114). These were cut with the co-ordinating dies from the Seasonal Labels Dies (#156299).

I attached the Gold Fine Art Ribbon (#154561) to the card, then attached the leaves and pinecones with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

“Season’s Greetings” is in the Christmas To Remember stamp set (#156300) and stamped with Soft Succulent ink (#155778). This was cut with a Bloom die (#155989) and also attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The embellishment below the sentiment is from the Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots (#156506). I also added shimmer to the pinecones and leaves using the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897)

Beauty Of Tomorrow

Hello friends,

Here’s another card using the Beauty Of Tomorrow Bundle (#156819) and very different to yesterday’s card using this bundle. I love this set.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406) and I daubered the edges with Evening Evergreen ink (#155576). This was attached to the Basic White base card. The labels are cut with dies from the Seasonal Labels Dies (#156299). I used Evening Evergreen card (#155575) and Blackberry Bliss card (#133682). I stamped “Happy Birthday” from the Blossoms In Bloom stamp set (#158283) with Evening Evergreen ink.

The flowers and leaves were stamped with Evening Evergreen & Blackberry Bliss (#147092) inks and cut with the Beautiful Leaves Dies (#156468). I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the Blackberry Bliss images, the middle Green image and the sentiment to the card.
