Prairie Grass

Hi again everyone,

A lovely card using the grass from the Prairie Grass stamp set (#166168).

I stamped the grass with VersaMark (#102283) onto the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (#163303). I added the Copper powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056).

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).

The sentiment is also from the Prairie Grass stamp set and heat embossed with Copper. This was cut with a Happy Hibiscus die (#164879). I added a bit of colour to part of the sentiment using a Blending Brush (#153611) with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the sentiment to the card.

I matted the DSP with Mossy Meadow card (#133683) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The sentiment & the frame outline are from the Labelled With Love stamp set (#163564). I stamped the outline with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092) and the sentiment with Petunia Pop ink (#163811). This was cut with the co-ordinating Labelled With Love die (#163570). This stamp set and dies are retiring.

The leaf was cut with a Flowers Of Beauty die (#163375) and I used Wild Wheat card (#161734) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). This die set and the Wild Wheat card are also retiring. The leaf was attached to the card front and the sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The birds are from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds (#162743). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the die cut leaves.

Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

An easy card today (I’m not feeling 100%) using the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (#163303).

I dry embossed the Azure Afternoon card (#161663) with the Painted Texture Embossing Folder (#154317) and attached the DSP on top. The card front was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The sentiment from the With You In Mind stamp set (#164747) was stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink (#146991), using the Stamparatus. I then re-stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and added Clear powder from the Wow! Basics Embossing Powders (#165679). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I used a die from Stylish Shapes (#159183) to cut the sentiment.

The butterflies were cut with Sketched Butterflies dies (#163491) using Blueberry Bushel card (#146991). I added glimmer to the butterflies with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430) and the butterflies with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are from the Opal Rounds Assortment (#163298).

The hybrid embossing folder also includes the dies which co-ordinate with the stamp set and embossing folder, which allows you to cut and embossing the flowers at the same time.

I matted the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (#163303) with Highland Heather card (#147010) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The Highland Heather hibiscus flowers were cut and embossed with the Hybrid Embossing Folder. I added glimmer to the flowers with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

The leaves from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set were stamped with Coastal Cabana ink (#147097). The inside of the leaves were stamped using the stamping off method for a lighter image. These were then cut with the Happy Hibiscus dies.

Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper

Hello stamping friends,

I love all the Designer Series Papers and I am sure you are like me and have plenty of “scraps” lying around. For today’s card I have used some scraps from the Thoughtful Journey 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#163303).

I taped the pieces of DSP to the Basic White card front (#159228). The edges of the card front was daubered with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092) then attached to the Basic White base card.

I stamped the image from the Everyday Details stamp set (#162861) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). This was coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Blackberry Bliss (#154877), Mossy Meadow (#154890), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Peach Pie (#163827) and Balmy Blue (#154830). I added Glimmer to the image with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

I used an Everyday Details die (#162864) to cut the stamped image and the Blackberry Bliss card (#133682). I taped these together offsetting the card to matt only 2 sides. This was then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Happy Birthday” from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756) was stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink. This was cut with a Greetings Of The Season die (#164112). As I wanted the die to cut closer to the letters, I cut close to the “H” then I repositioned the die to cut the other end close to the “Y”. I taped the sentiment to the card.
