True Love Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

The True Love Designer Series Paper (#154281) is currently one my favourites especially for colouring with Stampin’ Blends.

For a change I used the Shimmery White cardstock (#121717) which has a lovely subtle shimmer. I dry embossed the card front with the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#151801) then matted this with the Champagne Foil Sheets (#144748).

The flowers were fussy cut and then coloured with the following Stampin’ Blends - Petal Pink (#154893), So Saffron (#154905), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Fresh Freesia (#155611), Pale Papaya (#155670), Flirty Flamingo (#154884) and Soft Sea Foam (#154902).

The stamped leaves are from the Forever Fern stamp set (#152559) and they were stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). A die from the co-ordinating Forever Flourishing dies (#152714) cut the leaves. The leaves from the Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) were cut with dies from the Floral Heart dies (#154306) and attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The coloured flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was attached to the card under the sentiment. Best wishes from the Borders Abound stamp set (#152627) was stamped with Fresh Freesia ink (#155611) and cut with a Stitched Rectangles die (#151820). 

As usual I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add glimmer to the flowers and leaves.

Wreath Builder dies

Hi again,

Another beautiful retiring product is the Wreath Builder dies (#152722).

I used Very Vanilla card (#106550) for the base card & card front. Before dry embossing the card front I sponged one side of the Tin Tile 3D embossing Folder (#151801) with Crumb Cake ink (#147116). This gives some subtle colour to the embossing. I sponged the edges of the card front with Rococo Rose ink (#150080).

I used the Pretty Peacock card (#150886) and the Champagne Foil Sheets (#144748) for the wreath. The wreath, flowers, bow and heart are all cut with dies from the Wreath Builder Dies. I used Rococo Rose card (#150888) for the flowers, heart and bow. I cut 2 flowers and offset them when I put them together using a Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430). The wreath, flower and bow were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Sending” is from the Well Said stamp set (#148796) and stamped with Rococo Rose ink. I cut this with the Messages Die (#144422). This is a very versatile die as it co-ordinates with the Many Messages stamp set (#154510), but also allows you to cut many other sentiments, like I have on this card. After attaching the sentiment to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108), I then attached the heart.

The flower, bow & heart were all brushed with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) for that shimmery look. I coloured some Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) with Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends (#154900) before attaching them to the centre of the flower.

Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch

Hello again,

Today I was challenging myself again, this time to use colours I don't use very much, but when I do use them I wonder why I don’t use them more often. The colours are Sahara Sand and Blushing Bride.

The base card and card front are Very Vanilla (#106550). I stamped the image from the Woven Heirlooms stamp set (#c149306) on the top and bottom of the card front with Sahara Sand ink (#147117). I also sponged the edges with Sahara Sand ink.

I punched 3 Rectangular Postage Stamps (#152709) from Champagne Foil Sheet (#144748), then embossed these with the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#151801). I attached these to Sahara Sand card (#121695) cut slightly bigger than the punched rectangles. The Very Vanilla 3/8” Scalloped Lace Trim (#149593) was wrapped around the card front. I stamped 3 butterflies from the Positive Thoughts stamp set (#151490) with Sahara Sand ink and another 3 with Blushing Bride ink (#147100). The Sahara Sand butterflies were attached to the Foil Sheet, then the Blushing Bride butterflies were added on top with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#1144108).

I attached a piece of Blushing Bride card (#131287) to the Foam Adhesive Sheets (#152815), then cut “birthday wishes” using dies from the Well Written Dies (#151816). The Foam Adhesive Sheets are double sided adhesive foam sheets and great for adding depth and dimension to your project. The little hearts are also cut with a die from the Well Written Dies, using Blushing Bride card and glued to the card with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). 

I coloured the Pearl Basic Jewels (#144219) with Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends (#154906) and attached them to the butterflies.

Have a great day!!

Beautiful Boughs Dies

Hi friends,

A Christmas card using a variety of dies and embossing folders to create texture and layers.

I dry embossed the larger Very Vanilla Card (#106550) using the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#151801) and the smaller Very Vanilla card with one of the Wrapped In Texture Embossing Folder (#153574). Just Jade card (#153084) is used for the base and to mat the smaller Very Vanilla card. The leaves from the Beautiful Boughs dies (#150661) were also cut from Just Jade card. I used Poppy Parade card (#121694) for the berries from the Poinsettia Dies (#153522). The Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) was used for the detailed circle which you will find in the Painted Poppies Dies (#151605). The sentiment from Wrapped In Christmas stamp set (#c153481) was stamped with Poppy Parade ink (#147050) and cut with a Layering Circles Die (#151770). I attached this and the Gold Foil die cut with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Mini Glue Dots (#103683) were used to attach the leaves and berries.

Enjoy your day!!

Poinsettia Dies

Hi ladies & guys,

Here’s another Christmas card using the Poinsettia dies (#153522).

I have cut 3 layers of petals for the poinsettia from Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) using the Poinsettia Dies. There are dies which emboss the petals and also dies that cut and they can be embossed and cut at the same time. I added some glitter to the petals with the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) and assembled the flower using Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The centre of the flower is Gold Foil sheet (#132622). The Very Vanilla card front (#106550) was dry embossed with the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#151801) and attached to the Cherry Cobbler base card. I cut the “wreath” from the Birds & More Dies (#152721), then cut it using a Layering Circles Die (#151770). This was attached to the card by using the Adhesive Sheets (#152334) on the back of the Gold Foil Sheet. I cut the “berries” from Mossy Meadow card (#133683) and added the Shimmery Crystal Effects (#150892) to the “berries”. These were then attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots. The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set (#150513) and stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083). I used an Ornate Frames Die (#150664) to cut the sentiment and Stamnpin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach this to the card. The embellishments are from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#150457).

Have a great day!!

Country Home

Hi everyone,

Here’s a great masculine card using the Country Home stamp set (#p147678).

I embossed the Whisper White card (#106549) with the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#151801). I then brayered it with Smokey Slate ink (#131291) using a Sponge Brayer (#141714). I stamped the can and flowers from the Country Home stamp set using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). These were fussy cut and then coloured with Stampin’ Blends. For the can I used Smokey Slate Combo (#145058). For the floral image I used Dark Poppy Parade (#146879), Dark Daffodil Delight (#144585), Light Shaded Spruce (#147936), Light Pumnpkin Pie (#144578) and Ivory (#144606). The sentiment from Music From The Heart stamp set (#151674) and stamped with Poppy Parade ink (#147050). The die to cut this is from the Stitched Rectangles dies (#148551). The sentiment, can and flowers were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I added Silver Metallic Thread (#138402) behind the flowers. The card front was attached to Basic Black card (#121688) then onto Smokey Slate base card (#131291).

Stay safe and healthy, and craft on!!
