Delicate Pines

Hello again,

The beautiful Delicate Pines bundle (#166074) have been used for todays Christmas card.

I stamped the large and small pine snowflakes with VersaMark (#102283) and I used Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The medium size pine snowflake was stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088). These were all cut with the Delicate Pines dies (#166073).

I cut the Real Red (#106578) circle with a Spotlight On Nature die (#163580).

I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the large & medium snowflakes, then a Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430) to attach the small one.

The Vellum Specialty Paper (#167099) was dry embossed with the Beautiful Patterns 3D Embossing Folder (#167097).

The sentiment from the Traditional Labels stamp set (#165854) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084), then cut with a Traditional Labels die (#165864). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The Vellum was matted with Real Red card, then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

Embossing On Vellum

Hello again,

I love the look of dry embossing on Vellum (#106584) which I have done on the background of this card.

I used the beautiful Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder (now retired from Sale-a-bration) to dry emboss the Vellum. When attaching this to the Coastal Cabana card (#131302), I only used adhesive on areas that would be covered, as adhesive can be seen through the vellum.

I stamped the floral image from the Adoring Hearts stamp set (#162563) with VersaMark (#102283) onto Coastal Cabana card. I added White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This card and the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) were cut with the Thoughtful Expressions Dies (#162821). These pieces were taped together, then I attached them to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I wrapped the Gold ribbon from the Silver & Gold Trim Combo pack (#161633) around the card front, then attached the card front to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Coastal Cabana ink (#147097). This was cut with an Autumn Leaves die (#162185) and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The cute little Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) were added to finish the card.

Jolly Words stamp set

Hi stamping friends,

I thought I had made all my Christmas cards but realised I still need a few more. For this one I have used the Jolly Words stamp set (#162087).

I stamped the image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). The Stampin’ Blends to colour this are Real Red (#154899), Wild Wheat (#161661), Tahitian Tide (#159221), Parakeet Party (#159220) and Natural Tones - Medium -500 & 600 (#159462), Medium Light - 800 (#159463) and Light- 1000 (#159465).

I used the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (#162026) to dry emboss the Vellum (#106584) which was then matted with Blueberry Bushel card (#146991) and attached to the Basic White base card.

After daubering the edges with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138) I attached the stamped image using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) then added extra (retired) snowflakes to the card.

Don’t forget to check out the Last Chance products which are retiring from the current mini catalogue. There are some great bargains while stocks last, so check them out here -

Cheerful Daisies

Hello friends,

The Cheerful Daisies Bundle (#161296) has been used for the flower & leaves on this card.

The flower is a Two-Step stamp. I stamped the outside with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) and the inside the petals with Lemon Lolly ink (#161666). The flower centre was also stamped with Daffodil Delight. The flower and the leaves were cut with the Cheerful Daisies dies (#161296). I used Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) making these fine leaves easy to attach to the card.

I coloured a piece of Vellum (#106584) using Blending Brushes (#153611) with Lemon Lolly ink, Bubble Bath ink (#161664), Balmy Blue ink (#147105) and Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). I then dry embossed the vellum with one of the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folders (#159170). I attached this to a piece of Basic White card, then to Daffodil Delight card (#121680), then to the Basic White base card. The reason I attached the vellum to the white card was to see the colours better.

“Thinking Of You” from The Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Daffodil Delight ink and cut with a Something Fancy Die (#160424). The sentiment & flower were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I added the Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels (#158987) to the card and used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add the shimmer to the flower.

TIP: When I attach the vellum to the card I always ensure I use adhesive only under areas which can’t be seen as it will show through the vellum. I used tape under the flower & sentiment and Mini Glue Dots (#103683) under the embellishments.

Eden’s Garden stamp set

Hello everyone,

All the stamped images here are from the Eden’s Garden stamp set (#157823).

I stamped the leaves on the Vellum cardstock (#106584) using VersaMark (#102283), then used the White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I attached the Ever Eden 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159996) to the vellum and then attached the vellum to a piece of Basic White card (#159228) of the same size. I wrapped the Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon (#155780) around the card front.

The leafy image and sentiment were stamped with Soft Succulent ink (#155778). The circles were cut with the Layering Circles dies (#151770) and I used Soft Succulent card (#155777) under the stamped images. The larger circles were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The card front was attached to the Basic White base card.

The Garden Gems (#159277) were added to finish the card.

The Ever Eden DSP and the Garden Gems are available till 3rd January or while stocks last.

I am taking a couple of weeks off so I will be back with my blog after Christmas. I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year.
