Biggest Wishes

Hello,

The Stamparatus (#148187) is the perfect tool to stamp “Happy” & “Birthday” on this card. These stamps are from the Biggest Wish stamp set (#155052).

I stamped “happy” with Starry Sky ink (#159212), Crushed Curry ink (#147087), Shaded Spruce (#147088) and Merry Merlot ink (#147112). I used Real Red ink for “birthday”. “Happy” was set up on the Stamparatus and I moved the plate one notch at a time for each of the words. This Basic White card (#159228) was matted with Real Red card (#106578). The Real Red Ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack (#160386) was wrapped around the card front, then attached to the Basic White base card.

The guitar from the Enjoy The Rhythm stamp set (#160361) was stamped with Real Red ink, and this was cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820). I then dry embossed this with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Fresh Cut Flowers

Hello stamping Friends.

How often do we use the main image in a stamp set and not use the smaller images. On this card I have used 2 of the smaller images of the Cut Fresh Flowers stamp set (#159018).

The Stamparatus (#148187) is the perfect tool to position multiple images perfectly on the card. I have drawn a 10cm square & diamond onto the grid paper on the Stamparatus as shown below. The diamond wasn’t used for this card.

I positioned and stamped the image onto the card which was placed on the square. This was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708).

I turned the card and re-stamped on the card

Continue stamping the 4 images and repeat with the 2nd image, which I stamped with Bermuda Bay ink (#147096).

I coloured the flowers & leaves with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends (#155518), Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends (#155519), Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends (#154889) and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894).

Happy Birthday from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) was stamped with Fresh Freesia ink (#155611). This and the Fresh Freesia card (#155614) were cut with Stylish Shapes dies (#159183).

I used the Stitched Greenery die (#155451) on the Fresh Freesia card for the background. This was attached to the Basic White base card. The base card is 13cmx13cm. The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I added Fresh Freesia Sequins from the Adhesive Backed Sequins & Gems (#159972) to the centre of the flowers & the sentiment.

Eden’s Garden

Hi friends,

I am using the Eden’s Garden stamp set #157823) and the Ever Eden Designer Series Paper (#159996) again today. I love this set.

I stamped the leaves using the Stamparatus (#148187) so the images are stamped around the card perfectly. I stamped one image with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The photos below are stamped with ink instead of VersaMark so it is easier for you to see how it is done.

This is the template I used to stamp these images. I used a 9cmx9cm Basic White card (#159228) and placed it on the square.

I placed the stamp on the card as shown.

After stamping the first image, I turned the card and re-stamped and repeated till all 4 images were stamped. 

I then positioned the next stamp in between the stamped leaves and using the same method, stamped these with Soft Succulent ink (#155778).

“Sending Hugs” was also stamped with Soft Succulent ink and this was cut with a Tasteful Labels die (#152886) then attached in the centre of the stamped images with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). This square card was matted with Gold Foil from the Brushed Metallic 12”x12” cardstock (#153524). 

I cut the gold foil border with one of the Eden Dies (#157831) and attached this to the Ever Eden DSP. This was attached to the Basic White base card. The square card was attached on top. The Garden Gems (#159277) were added to the card. There are 2 different shapes and colours in this pack.

Don’t forget that this designer paper & the gems are only available for a limited time (till 3rd January or while stocks last).

Gorgeous Leaves stamp set

Hi everyone,

These leaves are from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set (#153365) and stamped using the “hinged method” with the Stamparatus (#148187).

I stamped the leaves with Crushed Curry ink (#147087), then inked the edges of the leaves with different inks using a dauber and re-stamped. From left to right the inks used were Cajun Craze (#147085), Soft Suede (#119982), Cherry Cobbler (#147083), Pumpkin Pie (#147086) and Old Olive (#147090). I did one leaf at a time before moving the plate one “hinge” each time.

The Crushed Curry card (#131288) was dry embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (#156505) and attached to the Very Vanilla card front (#106550). I also attached a small strip of the Gold from the Gold & Rose Gold 6”x6” Metallic Specialty Paper (#156844) to the card front.

The sentiment is from the Biggest Wish stamp set (#155052). “Birthday” was stamped with Crushed Curry ink and “happy” with Cherry Cobbler ink. This was then cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Delicate Dahlias

Hi again my friends,

I love the large dahlia in the Delicate Dahlias stamp set (#156601) but I also love the small flower in this Sale-a-bration set. I have made 3 variations of this card today using the small flower and leaves.

I stamped the flowers and leaves using the Stamparatus (#148187) as shown below. I marked out a 9.5cm square and diamond on a piece of grid paper and used  a piece of Basic White card (#159228) 9.5cm x 9.5cm.

I placed the card onto the square with the grid paper on the Stamparatus and stamped the first flower with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099).

I turned the paper as shown below and stamped the 2nd flower. I repeated this till I stamped 4 flowers.

I then placed the card on the diamond to stamp the leaves with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095), moving the card after each leaf was stamped.

On the 2nd card at the top, I moved the leaves slightly away from the edge of the card. I also masked the flowers to avoid the leaves overlapping the flowers. On the first card I also stamped the flowers with Polished Pink ink (#155712), using both the outline stamp and the fill colour, then I fussy cut these flowers. 

I used the Detailed Trio Punch (#146320) to round the corners of the Basic White card and the Gorgeous Grape card (#147011). The “Hugs Prayers Love” is from the Positive Thoughts stamp set (#151490) and the other 2 sentiments are from the Encircled In Friendship stamp set (#155408). All the sentiments were stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink. The dies to cut the sentiments are from the Layering Circles (#151770) and Hippo & Friends (#153585). 

Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to add the sentiments and the Polished Pink flowers to the card. I added the silver Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) to the 2nd card. I added the Loose Flower Flourishes (#155808) to the centre of the flowers on the first card. I did colour the purple flowers embellishments with the Dark Highland Heather Stampin’ Blend (#154887) to make them darker before adding them to the card with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309).

I embossed the cards under the Gorgeous grape card with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406), the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (#156505) and the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder (#156392).

The finished size of the card is 13cm x13cm.

Tree Angle stamp set

Hi everyone,

I have used the small poinsettias from the Tree Angle stamp set (#153442) to make the wreath for this card.

I used a piece of  9.5 x 9.5cm Whisper White card (#106549) to stamp the wreath, using the Stamparatus (#148187). I have a piece of grid paper marked with a 9.5 x 9.5cm square and diamond as shown below.

I then placed the stamp on the White card on the square and stamped the image with Real Red Ink (#147084).

Next, I turned the White card as shown below and re-stamped it. I continued till the card was stamped all around.

I dry embossed another piece of Whisper White card (which will be attached to the base card) using one of the Meadow Moments Embossing Folders (#153126). These are the smaller embossing folders so I embossed each end of the card separately. I wrapped the Shaded Spruce Ribbon from the Wonder Of The Season Ribbon Combo Pack (#153537) around the card, then attached the square card.

The sentiment from the Wrapped In Christmas stamp set (#153481) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I used a Layering Circles Die (#151770) to cut the sentiment and a die from the Warm Wraps Dies (#153521) to cut the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I adhered Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to the Shaded Spruce card (#147006) before cutting the leaves from the Celebration Labels Dies (#153570), then attached these to the card.

There are a variety of stamps that you can use this technique with, so why not try it with some stamps you have. You will need to use smaller images.

Enjoy your day.

Boho Indigo

Hello friends,

I love the subtle colours on this card, using the stamp set from the Boho Indigo Product Medley (#153132).

I cut a piece of Whisper White card (#106549) 10x10cm. Using the Stamparatus (#148187) I stamped the leaves by turning the card to stamp each image and then repeating for the flowers. The leaves were stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) and the flowers with Petal Pink ink (#147108). This was attached to the Petal Pink card (#147009) cut at 10.5x10.5cm. The designer series paper is Soft Sea Foam from the 6”x6” Subtles (#153072) and this was cut at 12x12cm. The Whisper White base card is 13x13cm, so cut at 13x26cm and scored at 13cm.

I wrapped the sparkly Snowflake Splendor 1/4” Ribbon (#153548) around the cardfront. I stamped “Happy Birthday” from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (#151331) with Petal Pink ink and cut the 2 squares with the Stitched Shapes Dies (#152323). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the sentiment to the card. I added Elegant Faceted Gems (#152464) to each of the flowers and to the sentiment. I made a bow from the ribbon and attached it to the card with a Mini Glue Dot (#103683). Some sparkle was added to the flowers with the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897).

Enjoy your day!

Perennial Birthday

Hello,

Today’s card is very simple with just stamping which is a bit unusual for me, oh! and a bit of fussy cutting.

I stamped  “Happy Birthday” from the Perennial Birthday stamp set (#c151240) with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099). Using the Stamparatus (#148187), I stamped the first image, then each image with out re-inking, moving the plate down one hinge at a time. I stamped the flowers & leaves with Pear Pizzaz ink (#147104) and Gorgeous Grape ink. I fussy cut the Gorgeous Grape flowers and all of the Pear Pizzaz Flowers & leaves images, then glued the Gorgeous Grape flowers onto the Pear Pizzaz flowers. I attached one flower with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and glued the others with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). I added the Gorgeous Grape rhinestones from the Noble Peacock Rhinestones (#149494) to the centre of each flower. The base card is Gorgeous Grape (#147011) and the cardfront is Very Vanilla (#106550). The flowers were also stamped onto Very Vanilla card.

Have a great weekend.
