Sentimental Framing dies

Hello again friends,

The Sentimental Framing dies (#165476) have been used to cut these 2 beautiful detailed frames.

The larger frame was cut with Pool Party card (#124391) and the smaller one with Daffodil Delight card (#121680). These were taped to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“Happy Birthday” from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) was stamped with Crushed Curry ink (#147087) and I used the small Sentimental Framing die to cut this, and only using the small “inside” piece which fits into the Daffodil Delight frame. This was taped to the card.

The floral image from the Charming Day stamp set (#166126) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends to colour this are Pool Party (#154894), Lemon Lolly (#161673) and Daffodil Delight (#154883). I then added glimmer using the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

The stamped image and the die cut leaves were cut with the Charming Day dies (#166135). These dies & stamp set are also available in the Charming Day Bundle (#166136). The leaves were cut from Pool Party card & Gold Foil Sheet (#132622).

I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the flower and Mini Glue Dots (#103683) for the leaves. The embellishments are from the Traditional Sparkling Sequins(#165875).

Sentimental Framing dies

Hello again everyone,

A pretty card (and I like pretty cards!!) using the Sentimental Framing dies (#165476).

I used a piece of Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) and one of the Sentimental Framing dies for the design along the bottom of the card. I then cut the frame with another of the dies with the Highland Heather card (#147010).

The Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393) was attached to the Gorgeous Grape card, and this was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099). This was also cut with the die I used for the frame but I only needed the inside piece which fits inside the frame.

The flowers are from the Charming Day stamp set (#166126). These were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and coloured with the following Stampin’ Blends - Bubble Bath (#161675), Fresh Freesia (#155518), Highland Heather (#154887), Soft Sea Foam (#154902), Granny Apple Green (#154885) and Daffodil Delight (#154883).

The stamped flowers and die cut flowers and leaves were cut with the Charming Days dies (#166135).

The frame was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The sentiment was taped. The stamped flowers were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots (#103683), and the die cut flowers & leaves were attached with Mini Gue Dots.

To finish the card I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add glimmer to the flowers & leaves, then added the Frosted Iridescent Dots (#165766).

Iridescent Treat Bags

Hello friends,

The 2 photos below are of the same card. I attached the Iridescent Treat Bag (#166204) to a piece of Daffodil Delight card (#121680) and depending on the light, the colour will change.

Before attaching the Iridescent Treat bag, I stamped the grass from the Prairie Grass stamp set (#166168) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I cut the treat bag and taped 1 layer of the bag to the card.

The frame was cut with a Sentimental Framing die (#165476) using Secret Sea card (#165296). This was attached to the stamped image with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The base card is Basic Beige (#164512).

The sentiment from Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) was stamped with Secret Sea ink (#165285) and cut with the More Messages die (#165472). This was attached with a Stampin’ Dimensional and Mini Glue Dot (#103683). The bird is from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds (#162743).

Sentimental Framing

Hi friends,

The Sentimental Framing dies (#165476) have been used for the beautiful frame for these photos.

The base page is from the Wildflower Celebrations Scrapbooking Workshop Kit (#166623). I have matted the smaller Blueberry Bushel card (#146991) with Silver Foil Sheet (#163387) and another piece of Blueberry Bushel card.

I cut the frames from Silver Foil Sheet. I also cut the photos with the same die, to cut the photo so it fitted into the frame. The frames & photos were taped to the page.

I stamped the floral image from the Charming Day stamp set (#166126) with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Silver powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The stamped image and the detailed Silver Foil image were cut with the Charming Day dies (#166135). These were attached to the page with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). Another die from the Sentimental Framing dies was used to cut the pieces for the names.

Sentimental Framing Die

Hello friends,

I am back home after a short time away and straight into card classes, so here is a quick & easy card using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper (#165196).

I cut the frame using a Sentimental Framing Die (#165476). I used the Secret Sea card (#165296) for this. I taped the DSP to the Basic Beige base card (#164512) and attached the frame with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment is from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set (#165198) and stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083). I used a die from the Beautiful Butterflies (#164614) to cut the sentiment. This was taped to the frame.

Gallery Blooms bundle

Hello again friends,

Well, the new Annual Catalogue is here and there are also new products available from the Online Exclusives, so I have used some new products on today’s card.

The floral images are from the Gallery Blooms stamp set (#165211) and cut with the co-ordinating Gallery Blooms dies (#165212). These are available in the Gallery Blooms bundle (#165213), so bundles give you 10% discount. These were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#166781). Real Red Stampin’ Blends (#154899) and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885) were used to colour the images.

The frame was cut with a Sentimental Framing die (#165476) using (retired) Silver Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper.

I dry embossed the Basic White card front with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder (#164695) and matted it with Real Red card (#106578). The silver frame was attached to the card front.

“Thinking of you” is from the Blooming Phrases stamp set (#165523) and stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). I used the same die used to cut the silver frame as this gave me the inside piece to fit inside the frame. This was taped to the card.

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the flowers.

Sentimental Framing dies

Hello crafty friends,

Today I have a sneak peek of some new products available from the 6th May both from the Online Exclusives and the new 2025/26 Catalogue.

I cut the frame from the gorgeous Sentimental Framing dies (#165476) using Secret Sea card (#165296). This is one of the new 2025-2027 In Colors.

The leaf was cut using a Beautiful Motifs die (#165205). This was cut from the Beautiful Gallery 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#165196). The colour of this side of the DSP is Cloud Cover, another new in-color.

I glued the die cut frame to the Basic White card base (#159228) with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). I also attached the inside piece, that cuts out with the frame, to the card as I wanted the darker colour showing under the leaves. I then attached the die cut leaves.

“ Thinking Of You” is from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set (#165198) and this was stamped with the Secret Sea ink (#165285). I used the More Messages die (#165472) to cut the sentiment. This is one die which cuts out 19 different labels and co-ordinates with the More Messages stamp (#165471) which has 19 different sentiments. So versatile. The sentiment was attached with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals (#150893).

The embellishments are from the 2025-2027 In Colours Flat Pearls (#165192)
