Brushed With Beauty

Hi friends,

I have used the Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper (#167082) for the strip with the floral images and to stamp the sentiment on to.

The gold & white card front is from the Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164037). This was matted with Calypso Coral card (#124392) and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“Happy Birthday” from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) was stamped with Calypso Coral ink (#147101). The 2 circles were cut with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183).

The flowers from the Petals Of Beauty stamp set (#167093) were stamped with Calypso Coral ink. I stamped the darker colour with the ink as normal and for the lighter ink I “stamped off” which gives the lighter colour.

These flowers and the leaves were cut with the Petals Of Beauty dies (#167095). For the leaves I used Mossy Meadow card (#133683) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). The leaves were attached to the card, for the circles I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and for the flowers I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals & Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The embellishments are the Antique Pearls (#164679). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the flowers.

The card front is from the Irresistible Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165305). Using a Blending Brush (#153611) with Summer Splash ink (#163809), I blended some colour on the background. This was matted with Summer Splash card (#163798) then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The Summer Splash Circles were cut with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183). The flowers were attached to the circles with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Happy Birthday” from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) was stamped with Summer Splash ink, then punched with the Three Banner Punch (#167050).

Charming Day Bundle

Hello stamping friends,

I am using the Charming Day Bundle (#166136) again for the floral image on today’s card. Yes it is currently one of my favourites.

I used Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) to stamp the floral image from the Charming Day stamp set (#166126). I coloured it with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883), Azure Afternoon Stampin’ Blends (#161672), Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends (#154830) and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends (#154902). I added some Glimmer with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897). A die from the Charming Day Bundle dies (#166135) was used to cut the image.

“Happy Birthday” from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) was stamped with Azure Afternoon ink (#161663). I cut the circles for the sentiment and the Azure Afternoon card with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183). I used the silver Metallic Rub-Ons (#165270) on the Azure Afternoon circle and sentiment.

The card front is one of the designs from the Irresistible Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165305). This was lightly coloured with Azure Afternoon ink and a Blending Brush (#153611) which brings out the design on the card. The card front was matted with Azure Afternoon card and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“80” was cut using the Alphabet A La Mode dies (#160750) and I used the blue from the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper (#165929) which I had backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), and makes it easy to attach the fine numbers to the card.

The 2 circles were taped to the card and the floral image was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Traditional Sparkling Sequins (#165875) were added.

Spring Corners dies

Hi & welcome,

I have used the Spring Corners dies (#164742) for the detailed die cuts on today’s card.

There are two identical dies so you can cut 2 at a time which I did to cut the 4 corners of the Basic White card (#159228). I then cut the Berry Burst for the tiny flowers from the Berry Burst, Old Olive & White 12”x12” Glimmer Specialty Paper (#163769) using another die. I had this backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) making it easy to attach to the card.

The card front was matted with Shaded Spruce card (#147006), then attached it to the Basic White base card.

“Happy Birthday” from the Translucent Florals stamp set (#162243) was stamped with Berry Burst ink (#147143). I cut the 2 squares using the Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183) from Basic White card. I taped the larger one to the card front and the one with the sentiment with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The die cut flowers were attached to the card.

I coloured the Clear Dots from the Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots (#164204) with Berry Burst Stampin’ Blends (#161681) before attaching to the centre of the flowers.

Ready To Ride Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello again my crafty friends,

These gorgeous flowers are from the Ready To Ride Specialty Designer Series Paper (#160752). This DSP is basically masculine designs as it co-ordinates with the Legendary Ride bundle (#160763) but who says that only men ride bikes, and some of the designs can be used for female cards.

I fussy cut the flowers. The DSP for the background is from the Like An Animal Specialty Designer Series Paper (#160841) and matted with Crushed Curry card (#131288). The base card is Basic White (#159228).

The Crushed Curry circle was cut with a die from the Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183) and attached to the card. The flowers on top were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Happy Birthday” is from my favourite stamp set - Go To Greetings (#158763) and stamped with Crushed Curry ink (#147087). I used a Potted Succulent die (#154330) to cut the sentiment. This was also attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A really easy card, just a bit of fussy cutting and I know not everyone likes fussy cutting. I think we have all been spoilt with all the co-ordinating dies.
