Petal Park

 Hi again,

I am continuing to use some of the retiring products, including the Petal Park stamp set (#160571).

I stamped the outline of the leaves with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) and the inside with Parakeet Party ink (#159208). For the flowers I used Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099), Poppy Parade ink (#147050) and Azure Afternoon ink (#161663). I stamped the inside of the flowers using the Stamping off method to achieve a lighter colour. The flowers were then punched with the Petal Park Builder Punch (#160576).

I punched the corners of the Basic White card (#159228) with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878). The card front is from the Bright & Beautiful 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#161449) and I dry embossed this with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406). This was attached to the Basic White base card.

I attached the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) was stamped with Poppy Parade ink then cut with a Labels Aglow die (#159551). Stampin’ Dimensionals were also used to attach this to the card.

The dragonflies are from Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds (#162743).

The retiring product used on this card are the Petal Park stamp set, Labels Aglow dies, Very Best Trio Punch and the Artistically Inked stamp set.

Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper

 Hello friends,

The Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper (#162133) is a carryover product from the last mini catalogue, so yes, it is still available. I have used it here for the card front.

I punched the corner of the DSP and the Moody Mauve card (#161732) with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878) then attached these to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The butterfly is from the Paper Butterfly Accents (#162612). I coloured the body with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#154882) and the feelers with Basic Black Stampin’ Blends (#154843). The next colour is Moody Mauve and I used a Blending Brush (#153611) with Mood Mauve ink (#161649). Then I applied Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138) with a Blending Brush. For the edges of the wings I used Misty Moonlight ink (#153118), this time using a Sponge Dauber (#133773). I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) for the sparkle on the butterfly.

I used a thin strip of Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) under the body of the butterfly to attach it to the card. “Just A Note” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Moody Mauve ink and cut with an All That die (#159078). This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The 3 small butterflies are from the Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136).

Perennial Lavender

Hello everyone,

Another beautiful suite in the mini catalogue is the Perennial Lavender Suite (#162613). This suite includes 2 bundles, butterfly accents, designer paper and embellishments. As usual you can buy them separately or as a bundle or suite. I love butterflies and purple colours so just couldn't resist this suite.

I punched the corners of the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (#162593) and the Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) with the Very Best Trio punch (#159878) then attached them to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The label was cut with a die from the Thoughtful Expressions Dies (#162821). The sentiment was stamped with Highland Heather ink (#147103) and taped to the card front.

I coloured the butterfly from the Paper Butterfly Accents (#162612) using a Blending Brush (#153611) with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147011 and Fresh Freesia ink (#155611). There are 40 butterflies in this pack - 8 each of 5 sizes and designs.

The stems of flowers and leaves were cut with the Painted Lavender dies (#162596). I used Highland Heather card (#147010) and Lost Lagoon card (#133686). For the Lost Lagoon leaves I had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of the card. The flowers were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The butterfly was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Purple Fine Shimmer Gems (#162611) were added to the centre of the butterfly and sentiment.

Magical Meadow Bundle

Hi again,

Here is another Christmas card which was included in my full day Christmas card classes and using the Magical Meadow Bundle (#162144)

I stamped the leaves with Garden Green ink (#147089) and the berries with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083). These images are from the Magical Meadow stamp set (#162134). These stamped images as well as the other die cut leaves are all cut with the Magical Meadows dies (#162143). I used Daffodil Delight card (#121680), Garden Green card (#108605) and Pecan Pie card (#161726) for the die cut leaves.

I cut the circle of dots on the Basic White card front (#159228) with a Labels Aglow die (#159551). The corners of this and the Crushed Curry card (#131288) were punched with the Very Best Trio punch (#159878) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The Daffodil Delight card and Pecan Pie card were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) making them easy to attach to the card. I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) for the Green leaves and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) for the stamped images. The sentiment from the Merriest Trees stamp set (#162043) was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink, then cut with a die from Labels Aglow.

I used the Real Red from the Pearlized Enamel Effects (#156310) for the small berries on the stamped green leaf. This does take some time to dry so best to do this last and put the card aside to allow it to dry.

Timeless Arrangements

Hi stamping friends,

I have used the Timeless Arrangements dies (#161525) for all the die cut pieces on this card.

For the card front I used the Shimmery White Embossing Paste (#145645) with an Artistic Mix Decorative Mask (#159178). This was applied with a Palette Knife (#142808). After allowing this to dry I punched the corners of this and the Coastal Cabana card (#131302) with the Very Best Trio punch (#159878) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The card stock used to cut the leaves are Pool Party (#124391), Daffodil Delight (#121680), Crushed Curry (#131288), Lemon Lolly (#161729), Pecan Pie (#161726) and Copper Clay (#161730). All these were backed with Adhesive Sheets (#152334).

“Thank You” from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set (#161521) was stamped with Coastal Cabana ink (#147097). The sentiment and Coastal Cabana card were cut with Timeless Arrangements dies. Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the sentiment.

TIP: Wash the mask & palette knife as soon as you are finished with them as the paste will dry very quickly. Just need water to wash them.

Decorative Masks

Hi stamping friends,

I have used 2 of the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks (#159178) for the background on todays card. These 2 masks work together or they can be used individually.

Firstly I used Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) and a Blending Brush (#153611) with the first mask then lined up the second mask and used Old Olive ink (#147090). Next time I will use the darker ink first as it will be easier to line up the images.

I used a piece of the Vellum Basics Specialty Designer Series Paper (#160839) on top of the card front as I only wanted a subtle look.

I cut a label from the Designer Tags dies (#159165) from Basic White card (#159228) then dry embossed this with the Timber Embossing Folder (#156406). I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283), (which will be available in the next Mini Catalogue from 6th September), with Old Olive ink. This was taped to the label.

The leaves were cut with a Dainty Delight die (#160674), using Pecan Pie card (#161726) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) and attached to the card.

The corners of the card front were punched with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878), then this was attached to the Pecan Pie card. The base card is Basic White.

Season Of Chic

Hello again friends,

I have had a very busy week so sorry I have missed a couple of posts but here I am again. I have used a mix of products on this card.

The flowers from the Season Of Chic stamp set (#158810) were stamped with Lemon Lolly ink (#161666) and cut with a co-ordinating die from the Chic dies (#158815). I then cut the Lemon Lolly card (#161729) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) with another Chic die and this was attached to the stamped flower.

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder (#160766) but I used the back of the embossing. I cut the corners with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878). The card front was matted with the Lemon Lolly card then attached to the Basic White base card.

I cut the 3 circles with the Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183) and taped these together and attached them to the card. The sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) was stamped with Wild Wheat ink (#161651).

The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The leaves were cut with dies from the Timeless Arrangements dies (#161525) and the Lazy Days dies (#161342). I used Soft Sea Foam card (#147012), Wild Wheat card (#161734) and (retired) Brushed Metallic Gold Foil. All these were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) making them easy to attach to the card.

I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add shimmer to the flowers and then added the Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels (#158987) to the flower centres and the sentiment.

I then stamped the leaves from the Gorgeously Made stamp set (#161193) using Mossy Meadow ink (#147111) and Pecan Pie Ink (#161665).

The corners of the card front were punched with the Very Best Trio punch (#159878) then this was matted with Pumpkin Pie card (#108601) and attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

Hello again my friends,

I hope you have had a chance to see the new catalogue. One of the beautiful Suites is the Fresh As A Daisy Collection (#161301) which includes the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper (#161289).

One of the designs in the DSP has a variety of images suitable for card fronts and I have used one of them on this card. I cut a piece of Shaded Spruce card (#147006) to matt the DSP. The corners were cut with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878) and this was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The card front is Bubble Bath card (#161727) - I love this new pink colour. I dry embossed this with one of the Basic 3D Embossing Folders (#161598) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228). There are 3 embossing folders included bin the Basic Embossing Folders.

The sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set (#161290) and stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088). I used a die from the Countryside Corners dies (#161471) to cut the sentiment. This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Timeless Arrangements

Hello my friends,

Today I have finally had time to play with some new products in the new catalogue which will be available from 2nd May. I have used the Timeless Arrangements Bundle (#161526).

I stamped the circles from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set (#161521) onto the Very Vanilla card (106550) using VersaMark (#102283). I added Heat & Stick powder (#156110) and heated this with the Heat Tool (#129056). This becomes sticky which allows you to adhere the Gold Gilded Leafing (#154560). Press the leafing onto the card then  brush off the excess leafing. I then dry embossed this card with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (#156505). The corner was punched with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878) and attached to the Lost Lagoon card (#133686).

The Gold Ribbon from the Gold & Silver Trim Combo Pack (#161633) was wrapped around the card, then the card front was attached to the Very Vanilla Base card. 

“Happy Birthday” is from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763). This was stamped with VersaMark & I used Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) which was set with the Heat Tool. 

The Timeless Arrangements dies (#161525) were used to cut the leaves from the Lost Lagoon card and the Pretty Peacock card (#150886) which were both backed with Adhesive sheet (#152334). These were attached to the card front then the sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels (#158987) were added to the card.

There are no retiring products used on this card.

Elegant Borders Dies

Hello everyone,

This pretty border is from the Elegant Borders Dies (#161593). There are 4 border dies in this set as shown below.

I have cut the Basic White card (#159228) with the die. The sentiment from the Dainty Delight stamp set (#161078) was stamped with Orchid Oasis ink (#159214).

I dry embossed the Orchid Oasis card (#159265) with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (#156505). The corners of this card and the Basic White card were punched with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878).

I stamped the flowers from the Petal Park stamp set (#160571) twice. First I stamped the outline with Orchid Oasis ink, then stamped the inside again with Orchid Oasis ink but I stamped off first so I had a lighter colour. These flowers were then punched with the Petal Park Builder Punch (#160576).

The flowers were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The White Opaque Adhesive-Backed gems (#160412) were attached to the centre of the flowers.

Dainty Flowers & Dainty Delight

Welcome,

The Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper #160834) is a Sale-a-bration product and co-ordinates with the Dainty Delight Bundle (#160675).

I attached the DSP to the Very Vanilla card (#106550), then I dry embossed it with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317). The corners of this and the Rich Razzleberry card (#119981) were punched with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878), then attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

Using Rich Razzleberry card (#119981) & Daffodil Delight card (#121680) I cut 3 flowers from each colour with another Dainty Delight die. I attached the 2 coloured flowers together with Mini Glue Dots (#103683), off setting the petals, then the flowers were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment is from the Eden’s Garden stamp set (#157823) and stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink (#147091). This was cut with a die from the Fabulous Frames dies (#159163). Then I cut the Rich Razzleberry frame with the same die. These were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The  Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls are now retired and were added to the sentiment & flower centres.

Nested Friends

Hi stamping friends,

These cute little birds are from the Nested Friends stamp set (#160322) which are part of the Nested Friends Bundle (#160489).

I stamped the birds with Balmy Blue ink (#147105), Fresh Freesia ink (#155611) and Pale Papaya ink (#155670). They were then coloured with co-ordinating Stampin’ Blends - Balmy Blue (#154830), Fresh Freesia (#155518) & Pale Papaya (#155519). The branch from the same stamp set was stamped with Granny Apple Gree ink (#147095) and the leaves coloured with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885).

The birds, branch & small leaves from Granny Apple Green card (#147014) were all cut with the Nested Friends dies (#160488).

I punched the corners of the Granny Apple Green card and the Vellum Basics 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#160839) with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878), then attached these to the Basic White base card (#159228). 

The small leaves had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back for ease of attaching these to the card. The branch was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the birds with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Thank You” is from the Nested Friends stamp set and stamped with Granny Apple Green ink. A Tailor Made Tags Die (#155563) was used to cut the sentiment, then attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was threaded through the tag.

TIP: When attaching the vellum to the card, only use adhesive where it will be hidden as it will show through. I find the easiest way is to attach all the elements to the vellum first, then you can see on the back of the vellum where to add the adhesive. I then attached adhesive under the small leaves, the branch, birds & sentiment.

Wild & Sweet

Hi & welcome,

I was asked to make a card with a koala so used the Wild & Sweet stamp set (#158775) which has this beautiful koala image.

I stamped the koala with Crumb Cake ink (#147116) onto Basic White card (#159228). The leaves were coloured with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885). I added some extra colour to the koala with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#154882), and Ivory Stampin’ Blends (#154922) and Crumb Cake to the branches. I added Balmy Blue ink (#147105) with a Blending Brush (#153611) to the background. The koala and the Gold frame were cut with a die from the Fabulous Frames (#159163) and both attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Nested Friends

Hello friends,

Another bundle which is new in the mini catalogue is the Nested Friends Bundle (#160489). I love that Stampin’ Up! have now named the stamp sets, dies and bundle all the same, so the Nested Friends Bundle includes the Nested Friends stamp set (#160322) and the Nested Friends Dies (#160488). This will make it so much easier to remember the names of the co-ordinating products.

The bird and sentiment are from this stamp set. The bird was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and the sentiment with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094). I coloured the bird with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends (#154958) for the beak.

The bird and nest were cut with the Nested Friends Dies. I used Crumb Cake card (#121685) and Soft Suede card (#119982) for the nest. The green leaves were cut with a die from the Dainty Delight Dies (#160674) using Old Olive card (#106576) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

I dry embossed the Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406). This card and the Old Olive card had the corners punched with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878). This was then attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550).

The sentiment & nest were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Framed Florets

Hi friends,

I have used the flowers from the Framed Florets stamp set (#161815) as well as the detailed flowers cut with the Artistic Dies (#155371) on todays card.

The stamped flowers were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (#132708) on Basic White card (#159228). These were coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Sweet Sorbet (#159224).

The stamp set & dies can be purchased as a bundle - the Framed Florets Bundle (#162407) which means you save 10%.

The Artistic Dies were used to cut the Basic White card for the detailed flower and this was attached to the Basic White card front using Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I cut the corners of the white card with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878) and the corners of the Sweet Sorbet card with the retired Detailed Trio Punch. This was attached to the Basic White base card.

Merriest Moments stamp set

Hi & welcome,

I have made several variations of cards using poinsettias and the wreath for Christmas cards, so here is another variation.

The Daffodil Delight card (#121689) was dry embossed with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406). I punched the corner of this card and the Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878), then these were attached to the Basic White Base card (#159228).

“Merry Christmas” is from the Brightest Glow stamp set (#159542) and this was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083). A Labels Aglow Die (#159551) was used to cut the sentiment.

The flowers and leaves are from the Merriest Moments stamp set (#156353) and cut with the co-ordinating Merriest Frames Hybrid dies (#156358). I used Shaded Spruce ink (#147088) for the leaves and Cherry Cobbler ink for the flowers. I attached the smaller flower to the larger flower using Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The wreath was cut from Pearlescent Specialty paper (#154291) using a Natural Prints die (#158800). This was also attached with Mini Glue dots. The flowers and sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Glue Dots for the leaves.

The bow is cut with a Birdhouse Die (#158847) and I used Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237). This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The Real Red Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics (#156310) was used for the centre of the flowers. This does take a bit of time to dry so this is the last thing I do on the card then put the card aside to allow it to dry.

Holly Berry Dies

Hello everyone,

These lovely holly leaves are cut with the Holly Berry Dies (#159607).

With Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of the Gold Foil (#132622) I cut these detailed leaves and the Shaded Spruce card (#147006) with the Holly Berry dies. The berries were stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) and Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083) and also cut with the Holly Berry dies.

“Season’s Greetings” from the Brightest Glow stamp set (#159542) was stamped with Real Red ink and cut with a Labels Aglow Die (#159551).

I punched the corners of the Boughs Of Holly Designer Series Paper (#159600) and the Shaded Spruce card with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878). This was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). The leaves were taped to the card front and the sentiment and berries were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

TIP: when using this Very Best Trio Punch, once you punch a corner, turn the card over (so you will be seeing the back of the card or DSP) to punch the opposite corner so you get a reversed image of the 2 cutouts.

Amazing Silhouettes stamp set

Hello again,

This tree is from the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set (#157814).

This image was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) onto Evening Evergreen card (#155575). The Heat Tool (#129056) was used to set this. I then lightly coloured the embossed image with Soft Succulent ink (#155778) and a Blending Brush (#153611). The corners were punched with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878). When using this shape on the punch there is a little trick. Punch the first corner then flip the card over to punch the second corner to get a mirror image. Probably best to experiment on scrap card first.

The Stitched Greenery die (#155451) was used to create the “stitched leaves” on the Gold Distressed Specialty Paper (#159237). The Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon (#155573) was wrapped around the card front.

“Thinking Of You” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Evening Evergreen ink (#155576) and cut with a Potted Succulent die (#154330). This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).
