Shaded Summer

Hi everyone,

I have had some work done in my craft room recently and had to move most of my “stuff” so haven’t been able to access most it, so that’s why I have been missing some days lately. Hopefully everything will be back on track soon.

The stamp set used for the flower here is the Shaded Summer stamp set (#155783).

This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with a Summer Shadows Die (#156618).

The sentiment is from the new early release Framed Florets stamp set (#161815) and stamped with Orchid Oasis ink (#159214). The Handmade Tag Punch (#159690) was used to cut the sentiment. 

I dry embossed the Orchid Oasis card (#159265) with the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder (#156505) and this was matted with the Gold Foil (#132622).

I used one of the Split Card Textures Dies (#159162) to cut the Basic White card front (#159228). Then I added some Orchid Oasis ink with a Blending Brush (#153611) and then stamped the splotches with a stamp from the Quiet Meadow stamp set (#155082) with the same ink.

The Gold Foil leaves were cut with a Forever Flourishing die (#152714). The Gold foil was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). The flowers & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I also added some of the Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766).

Slim Card Dies

Welcome everyone,

I love making slimline cards and I have used the Slim Card dies (#157965) for the scalloped edge on this card.

I cut the Evening Evergreen card (#155575) and the Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper (retired) with the scalloped die. I matted the top & bottom of the DSP with the Evening Evergreen card and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The birds from Free As A Bird stamp set (#149468) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends to colour this image are Daffodil Delight (#154883), Soft Succulent (#155521) and Crumb Cake (#154882). I added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to give some sparkle to the birds. This was then cut with an Ornate Layers Die (#152726) and attached to a slightly larger piece of Evening Evergreen card.

The sentiment is from the Expressions Of Friendship stamp set (#158460) and stamped with Soft Succulent ink (#155778). The die to cut this is from the Tasteful Labels dies (#152886) and the Evening Evergreen card under the sentiment was cut with a Layering Circles Die (#151770). The flower was cut with the Summer Shadows Dies (#156618) using Daffodil Delight card (#121680) and Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). The gold foil was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) so it was easy to attach to the base flower. The sentiment and flower were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I cut the 3 leaves from Evening Evergreen card, backed with Adhesive Sheet, with a die from the Eden Dies (#157831). The (retired) Garden Gems were added to the card for some bling.

TIP: The Summer Shadows Dies were available during a previous Sale-a-bration so you may already have these,  but if not there is great news, they will be available again in the next Annual catalogue. They also co-ordinate with the Shaded Summer stamp set (#155783).

Shaded Summer stamp set

Hello friends,

I am continuing to highlight some of the retiring products again on this card.

I attached the Paper Lattice (#155697) using Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to the DSP from In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (#152494). This was then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). 

The stamped floral images are from the Shaded Summer stamp set ($155783). I stamped each image with Granny Apple Green Ink (#147095) and Mango Melody ink (#147093). I cut the images with the dies from the Summer Shadows dies which were from a previous Sale-a-bration. I fussy cut the flowers from the Mango Melody images and attached them on top of the flowers on the Granny Apple Green images with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

Happy Birthday is also from the Shaded Summer stamp set and stamped with Mango Melody ink. A die from the Bloom Dies (#155989) was used to cut the sentiment. The embellishments are from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#150457) and attached to the flower centres.

The retiring products used are the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper, Paper Lattice and the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Merriest Moments stamp set

Hello stamping friends,

I wanted to make this card to show the versatility of some stamp sets. The leaves have been stamped from the Merriest Moments stamp set (#156353) which is a Christmas set but I have made a non Christmas card. Of course if you used the poinsettias in the set you could make it a Christmas card.

I stamped the finer leaves with Evening Evergreen ink (#155576) and the other leaves with Soft Succulent ink (#155778). After stamping, I dry embossed the Basic White card (#159228) with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406). This card was matted with the Rich Razzleberry card (#119981), then attached to the Basic White base card.

The flowers were cut with the Summer Shadows Dies (#156618). The base of the flower is Fresh Freesia card (#155614) and the detailed outline is Rich Razzleberry card. I had adhered Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to the back of the Rich Razzleberry card before cutting with the dies, making it easy to attach to the base flower. The Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots (#156506) were attached to the centre of the flowers.

The Gold Trim from the Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was attached to the card and the flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Thank You” is from the Beauty Of Friendship stamp set (#154984) and stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink (#147091). This was punched with a retired punch and attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Sale-a-bration Products

Hello friends,

We all love free products and I have used 3 different sale-a-bration products on this card.

The Sale-a-bration products used are the Beautifully Penned 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#156630), Summer Shadows Dies (#156618) and the Delicate Dahlias stamp set (#156601).

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with one of the Greenery Embossing Folders (#152716). I then attached the piece of the Beautifully Penned DSP to the card front. I wrapped the Real Red Double Stitched Satin Ribbon (#151155) around the card front.

The 2 large flowers were cut with the Summer Shadows Dies using Real Red card (#106578) and Basic Black card (#121688). The Basic Black card was backed with Adhesive Sheets (#152334) before cutting. The leaves were also cut with dies from the same set and cut from Garden Green card (#108605) and Soft Sea Foam card (#147012). There was Adhesive sheets on the back of the Garden green card.

The small flowers are from the Delicate Dahlias stamp set. The outline of the flowers were stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) and the inside of the flower was “stamped off” with Real Red ink. I fussy cut these flowers.

The leaves and 2 of the small flowers were taped to the card and I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the other flowers.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Shaded Summer stamp set (#155783) which co-ordinates with the Summer Shadows dies. I stamped the sentiment with Real Red ink and this was cut with the Messages die (#154422). The edges were daubered with Real Red ink, the attached to the card with Dimensionals.

Shaded Summer

Hello again my friends,

The Shaded Summer stamp set (#155783) can be found in the Annual catalogue.  For those who love to have dies that co-ordinate with stamp sets, you will be excited to see there will be dies available as part of the Sale-a-bration products (with a $180 order) to match this set. These are the Summer Shadows Dies (#156618). As well as dies to cut the 2 floral images and the small branch in the stamp set, there are 8 other dies to cut flowers and leaves, so a great set to get.

The stitching around the Basic White card front (#159228) was done with the Stitched With Whimsey Dies (#155314). I then stamped one of the floral images from the Shaded Shadows stamp set with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). Some images were stamped using the “Stamping off” method.

The other floral image was stamped with Mango Melody ink (#147093) using the Stamparatus (#148187). After cleaning the stamp and without moving it, I re-inked with VersaMark (#102283) and stamped over the original image. I then sprinkled this with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I cut it with the die from the Summer Shadows Dies.

The flower and leaves were also cut from this same die set. The leaves were cut from Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) and the flower from Mango Melody card (#147013). I daubered the detailed cut-out of the leaves with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) and the flower with Mango Melody ink, to give a slightly darker colour. These detailed pieces were glued to the base flower and leaves using Fine- Tip Glue Pen (#138309).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Shaded Summer stamp set and stamped with Mango Melody ink. A die from the Meadow Dies (#155852) cut the sentiment. The sentiment and flowers were all attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Mini Glue Dots (#103683) were used to attach the leaves.

I added glimmer to the detailed parts of the flower and leaves using the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) and added a Pearl Basic Jewel (#144219) to the flower centre.

I daubered the card front with Mango Melody ink before attaching it to the Basic White base card.

Sale-a-bration starts on 3rd August along with the new Mini catalogue. In the meantime there are specials on the following Designer Papers till 2nd August -

155841 - Beauty of the Earth - $17
