Rays Of Light & Night Divine

Hello everyone,

Another beautiful Christmas card which I offered at my full day Christmas card class, using the Rays Of Light background stamp (#158925).

I stamped the Rays Of Light on the Basic White card (#159228) with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Silver Stamping Emboss Powder (#155555). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was matted with Starry Sky card (#159264) then attached this to the Basic White base card.

The “nativity scene” was cut with the Night Divine dies (#161996) using the Holographic Trio Specialty Paper (#161744). This was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The stars were cut using the Stars At Night dies (#162006) and also using the Holographic Specialty Paper. The sentiment is from the Merriest Trees stamp set (#162043) and this was stamped with Starry Sky ink (#159212). Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to attach this to the card.

Sparkling Snowflakes

Hi Stamping friends,

I think the silver & white on this Christmas card looks very elegant. What do you think?

I used the Silver from the Silver Foil Specialty Pack (#156457). If you are wanting to use the foil efficiently you can cut the foil the size for the matting of the white card. Then you can cut the square and banner from the centre of the foil. Once the white card front is placed on the foil you can’t see where the pieces are cut from. The squares & banner were cut with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183).

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (#162026) and attached to the silver foil.

I stamped the snowflake from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set (#159542) was also silver embossed. This was cut with a die from the Sending dies (#159271). The silver foil pieces and sentiment were all taped to the card.

Radiating Stitches Dies

Hi again,

I have been playing with the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set (#155092) again before it retires.

I coloured the Basic White card (#159228) with Blending Brushes (#153611) and a variety of inks - Tahitian Tide (#159210), Pale Papaya (#155670, Flirty Flamingo (#147052) and Daffodil Delight (#147094). The butterfly was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I embossed this with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555). The Brilliant Wings die (#155523) was used to cut the butterfly.

I used 3 of the dies from the Radiating Stitches Dies (#161595) to cut 2 of the Silver Foils from the Silver Foil Specialty Pack (#156457) and the top layer from the Naturally Gilded Specialty Designer Series Paper (#161639). These were taped together then attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment from Nested Friends stamp set (#160322) was stamped with Balmy Blue ink (#147105) then cut with another die from the Radiating Stitches Dies. The sentiment & butterfly were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are from the Festive Pearls (#159963).

The retiring products used on this card are the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set, the Brilliant Wings dies and the Nested Friends stamp set.

Shaded Summer stamp set

Hi friend,

The stamp set used on this card is the Shaded Summer stamp set (#155783). You may have been lucky enough to get the matching dies in a previous Sale-a-bration. However I have chosen not to use them on this card.

I stamped the floral image with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed this with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129156). The flowers were coloured with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) and Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends (#154884). I used Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends (#154889) for the leaves. I cut this image and the Daffodil Delight card (#121680) with the Layering Diorama Dies (#155565).

I stamped the smaller floral image from the Shaded Summer stamp set on the Basic White card front (#159228) with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). I then coloured the background with a Blending Brush (#153611) and Daffodil Delight ink (#147094). I dry embossed the card front with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (#152718).

I cut the greenery using the Flowers Of Home dies (#157938). The Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting with the dies. These were attached to the card and the Silver trim is from the Simply Elegant Trim (#155766). The matted card was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Best Wishes” is from the Art Gallery stamp set (#158201) and stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052). The Messages Die (#154422) was used to cut the sentiment and attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The beautiful Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#158130) were added to the card.

Festive Foliage

Hello friends,

The background stamp used here is the Festive Foliage stamp (#155634) and of course great for Christmas cards. However I have previously used it for a birthday card by covering the holly leaves with flowers, which means it can be used all year round which I love.

I stamped the image with VersaMark (#102283) onto the Night Of Navy card (#106577). This was heat embossed with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The scallops were cut with a die from the Penned Flowers dies (#155557) and attached to a piece of Night Of Navy from the Neutrals 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#155226). This was attached to the card front. The base card is Basic White card (159228).

“Merry Christmas” from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set (#149418) was stamped with Night Of Navy ink (#147110), then cut with an Ornate Frames Die (#150664). The poinsettia was cut with a Poinsettia Die (#153522) from Basic White card. I daubered the edges with Night Of Navy ink before assembling the flower with a Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430). I attached it to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals then the card was finished by adding the Night Of Navy Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#150457).

Angels Of Peace

Hello,

It’s amazing were inspiration comes from sometimes. Yesterday I said it was very difficult to photograph the card as the silver DSP was picking up other colours, so that gave me idea to colour it using ink & the Blending Brushes (#153611). The inks colour the white areas and the silver resists the colour, but again on the photo it shows other colours. I hope you get the idea though.

I coloured the DSP from the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper (#156329) using Balmy Blue ink (#147105), Granny Apple Green ink (#147095), Polished Pink ink (#155712), Fresh Freesia ink (#155611) and Pale Papaya ink (#155670).

The Metallic Mesh Ribbon (#153550) was wrapped around the card front, then I attached this to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The Angel from the Angels Of Peace stamp set (#156365) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I used an Ornate Layers Die (#152726) to cut the angel. This die cuts a longer rectangle so after cutting the angel, I repositioned the die to cut the bottom and make the rectangle cut out a bit smaller.

“Joy” is from the Merriest Moments stamp set (#156353) and also Silver Embossed. This was cut with an Ornate Frames Die (#150664). The angel and sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The gems are from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials (#155567).

Angels Of Peace

Hi friends,

Here’s a sparkly Christmas card using silver & white and the cute little angel from the Angels Of Peace stamp set (#156392).

I positioned one of the Plenty Of Patterns Decorative Masks (#155553) on a piece of Basic White card (#159228), then VeraMarked (#102283) over the entire area. I removed the mask and sprinkled the card with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555). This was set using the Heat Tool (#129056). I matted this with Silver Foil from the Silver Foil 12”x12” Specialty Pack (#156457). The Metallic Mesh Ribbon (#153550) was wrapped around the card front, then attached this to the Basic White base card.

The Angel was also silver embossed, then I cut this with one of the Delicate Baubles Dies (#156383). I dry embossed the bauble using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (#152718) and attached it the the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The bow was cut with another Delicate Baubles die from the Silver Foil.

“Joy” is also from the Angels Of Peace stamp set and silver embossed, then cut with an Ornate Frames Die (#150664). I added the Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) to the card for some extra sparkle.

Daisy Lane

Hi,

I love the simplicity of the silver and white on this card.

The cardstock I have used is Whisper White (#106549) and Silver Foil Sheets (#132178). I dry embossed the Whisper White cardfront with one of the Wrapped In Texture Embossing Folders (#153574). This was attached to a piece of Silver Foil Sheet. I attached a smaller piece of Silver Foil to the cardfront, then wrapped the 1/2” Metallic Mesh Ribbon (#153550) around this, then attached the whole piece to the Whisper White base card.

I stamped 2 of each of the large and small daisies from the Daisy Lane stamp set (#c149325). These were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109131) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The large daisies were punched with the Daisy Punch (#143713) and the smaller daisies with the Medium Daisy Punch (#149517). These were all assembled using Mini Glue Dots (#103683) then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I adhered the Adhesive Sheets (#152334) to the back of the Silver Foil Sheet and cut the leaves and flourishes with dies from the Butterfly Beauty Dies (#151819) and adhered these to the card. “Happy Anniversary” from the Many Mates stamp set (#c152633) was also silver embossed and was cut with a Stitched So Sweetly Die (#151690) and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Clear embellishments from the Frosted & Clear Epoxy Droplets (#147801) were added to the flower, sentiment and card to finish the card.

Have a great day, hopefully with some crafting time.

Tasteful Touches stamp set

Hi Ladies & Guys,

I seem to be attracted to the feather from the Tasteful Touches stamp set (#c152562) as I have used it on many of my cards recently, and yes I am using it again.

The feathers, flower and sentiment are all from this same stamp set. I stamped the feathers and flower using VersaMark (#102283) and sprinkled them with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109131) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). These were then fussy cut. The In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (#152494) was attached to Rococo Rose card (#150888), then I wrapped the Rococo Rose 1/2” Scalloped Linen Ribbon (#149704) around the cardfront. This was then attached to the Whisper White base card (#106549). The sentiment was stamped with Rococo Rose ink (#150080) and this was cut with a Tasteful Labels Die (#152886). The sentiment, flower and one feather were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) were added to the sentiment.

Have a great day & keep crafting!!

Timeless Tropical

Hi everyone,

I’m using the gorgeous Timeless Tropical stamp set (#151497) again today.

I stamped the Hibiscus and leaves with VersaMark (#102283) and Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109131), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). These were then cut with the In The Tropics Dies (#151495). The Coastal Cabana (#131302) leaves are cut with a die from the Nature’s Thoughts Dies (#153586) and the Silver Foil Sheet (#132178) buds were cut with a Happy Birthday Die (#153590). I sponged the edges of the Coastal Cabana leaves with Bermuda Bay ink (#147096) as well as the inner part of the flower. The flowers and leaves were layered onto a piece of Bermuda Bay card (#131286) which was cut with the rectangular die from Nature’s Thoughts dies, then embossed with the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder (#151503). Happy Birthday from Music From The Heart stamp set (#p151674) was stamped with Bermuda Bay ink on Whisper White card (#106549). This card was sponged around the edges with Bermuda Bay ink, then attached to the Whisper White base card. I finished the card by adding a Rhinestone Basic Jewel (#144220) to the centre of the Hibiscus.

Enjoy your weekend.
