Party Alphabet dies

Hi friends,

I had a lovely relaxing day today with fellow demonstrators at a “Craft & Connect” gathering. It is always so much fun connecting with other demonstrators,

This card is one of the cards we made today.

The J & Y were cut with the Party Alphabet dies (#165263) from Real Red card (#106578).

I punched 5 circles from the Modern Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165990) using the 2” Circle Punch (#133782). I also punched one from Real Red card. I folded each of the circles from the DSP in half then joined them together, then attached them to the Real Red circle.

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder (#164695) and matted with Real Red card. I wrapped the retired Open Weave Trim around the card front.

I attached the letters with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and taped the circles. I chose the Traditional Sparkling Sequins (#165875) for the embellishments.

Metallic Textures Rub-Ons

HI everyone,

I have used the Metallic Textures Rub-Ons (#165270) for the stars & the wreath on this card. In the pack of Rub-Ons, there are both Silver & Gold in a variety of designs. I have used the silver Rub-Ons.

This card was a bit hard to photograph with all the silver.

With the rub-ons, cut the design you want from the sheet, remove the back sheet, place the design onto the card, and rub over the image with your fingers or a Bone Folder (#102300). Lift the top layer and you will be left with the design on the card. I used Night Of Navy card (#106577) and cut the circles with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183).

The sentiment from the Joyful Tidings stamp set (#165944) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added the Silver Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The dove is cut using a Peace On Earth die (#165924) from the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper (#165929).

I dry embossed the Basic White Card front (#166781) with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder (#164695), then matted it with the Night Of Navy card and attached it to the Basic White base card.

The dove & largest circle were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I taped the smaller circles. The Faceted Snowflakes (#166077) were added to finish the card.

Artistic Leaves

Hello again friends,

I am using another piece from the One Sheet Wonder (see yesterday’s post).

I dry embossed the Darling Duckling card (#165294) with the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder (#164695) then attached the Kintsugi Inspiration Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165159). The card front was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The leaves are from the Artistic Leaves stamp set (#166162). I stamped one with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083) and Darling Duckling ink (#165277), and the other with Crushed Curry ink (#147087) and Crumb Cake ink (#147116). The leaves were fussy cut.

The sentiment is from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378), stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink and cut with a Mixed Labels die (#164652).

I taped the yellow leaf to the card and I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the Cherry Cobbler card and sentiment. The Flower Accents (#165171) were attached to finish the card.

The Pretty Peacock card (#150886) was dry embossed with the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder (#164695). The DSP was attached to this card, then attached to the Basic White Base card (#166781).

Sunrise Sailing Bundle

Hi & welcome,

A masculine card today using the Sunrise Sailing Bundle (#165497). This bundle consists of the Sunrise Sailing stamp set (#165491) and the Sunrise Sailing dies (#165496).

I stamped the yacht with VersaMark (#102283) and added the silver powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). I then stamped Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138) to the sails, using the stamping off method to achieve a lighter colour. A Sunrise Sailing die was used to cut the yacht.

The DSP is from the Splendid Autumn 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164173). The strips were attached to a piece of Silver Foil Sheet (#163387). This was attached to the Blueberry Bushel card (#146991) that was dry embossed with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder (#164695) and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“Best Wishes” is also from the stamp set and I used a die from the Textured Notes (#1655555) to cut the sentiment. The yacht and sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The birds were cut with a die from the Sunrise Sailing dies using Silver Foil backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

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.

Labelled With Love

Hello again friends,

I am using mostly retiring products on this card today. The flowers & sentiment are from the Labelled With Love stamp set (#163564) which is retiring.

I stamped the leaves with Wild Wheat ink (#161651), then stamped the flowers with Moody Mauve ink (#161649). These are 2 of the 5 In Colors that are retiring.

I cut a triangle piece of Moody Mauve card (#161732) - (retiring) and dry embossed this with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder (#164695), then attached it to the Basic White card front (#159228). The edges were daubered with Moody Mauve ink then I taped it to the Basic White base card.

I stamped the outline for the sentiment with Wild Wheat ink and “Happy Birthday” was stamped with Moody Mauve ink. I cut this with a Labelled with Love die (#163570). This die is retiring but there is a Labelled With Love punch (#163559) which is exactly the same and will be still available.

I cut the detailed leaf with a retiring Cheerful Daisies Die (#161296) using Wild Wheat card (#161734) - (retiring), backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). This was attached to the card and the sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The trio of embellishments are from the Blooming Pearls (#162238) and these are also retiring.

The Basic White cardstock is still available but with a new code number - #166781, so from now on I will be using this number as there is no stock available using the original number.

Perennial Postage dies

Hi friends,

I used the Perennial Postage dies (#162607) to cut the sentiment and the coloured card.

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder (#164695) and matted it with Basic Black card (#121688). This was attached to the Basic White base card.

The coloured cards are Daffodil Delight (#121680), Pumpkin Pie (#108601), Azure Afternoon (#161728) and Real Red (#106578).

The flowers from the Year Of Flowers stamp set (#165367) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). These were cut with the co-ordinating Year Of Flowers dies (#165374). When the flowers are stamped it includes a different month of the year for each flower. This is actually cut off when using the dies. A great tip when matching the dies with the stamp is the dies have a number on it corresponding to the month, i.e. January has number 1, February has number 2 etc.

I glued the flowers to the coloured card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

The sentiment is from the same stamp set. This was also cut with a Perennial Postage die. However there isn't one the size I wanted, so I cut it as shown below by cutting 3 sides, then repositioning the die to cut the other side.

I matted the sentiment with Basic Black card. This and the coloured cards were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The retired Dragonfly Trinkets were added to complete the card.

Enduring Beauty Stamp Set

Hello again friends,

The Enduring Beauty Stamp set (#162670) is easily coloured using the co-ordinating Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks (#162673).

I stamped the image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White base card (#159228). The inks to colour this are Fresh Freesia (#155611), Highland Heather (#147103), Gorgeous Grape (#147099), Granny Apple Green (#147095) and Lemon Lime Twist (#147145).

I used one of the Everyday Arches dies (#164629) to cut an area from the stamped image. I then cut 6 pieces of Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) with the same die. I glued these all together including the stamped image, using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

After cutting out the arch, I dry embossed the Basic White card with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder (#164695) and attached this to a piece of Gorgeous Grape card (#147011). I glued the arches where I had cut out the original arch. With the layers of card glued together, you can see the Gorgeous Grape edges. Not sure how much you can see this on the photo below.

The sentiment from So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink and cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems (#162611).

Thoughtful Wishes

Hello friends,

Another Sympathy card today. I like simple but elegant cards for sympathy cards like this one using the Thoughtful Wishes dies (#163313).

I cut the leafy image from the Gold from the Silver & Gold 12”x12” Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper (#162288). This was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228) which was dry embossed with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder (#164695). I matted this with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment is from the retired Painted Glass stamp set. I love the elegance of this script. This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added the Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678). The Heat Tool (#129056) was used to set the powder. I cut the sentiment with a Labelled With Love die (#163570). I daubered the edges with Wild Wheat ink (#161651) and attached the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The cross was cut with the retired Cross Of Hope dies, also using the Gold Glimmer Paper. The embellishments are the Low-Profile Dots (#164658).
