Poinsettia Dies

Hello my friends,

I have chosen to use subtle colours on this Christmas card using the Poinsettia Dies (#153522) to cut the flower.

As well as the Whisper White card (#106549) I have used the Gold from the Brushed Metallic 12” x 12” cardstock. I cut a piece of the white card using one of the Curvy Dies (#154319), then dry embossed the lower piece with one of the Wrapped In Texture Embossing Folders (#153574). Both pieces were then attached to the Gold Metallic card.

I cut the 4 layers of the poinsettia using the Poinsettia Dies and sponged the edges of the petals with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was brushed onto the petals giving a lovely glimmer. I assembled the flower with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and then it was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

The “berries” were cut with a die from the Poinsettia Dies and the leaves from the Soft Seafoam card (#147012) were cut with a die from the Curvy Dies. All were attached with Mini Glue Dots.

“Merry Christmas” is from the Curvy Christmas stamp set (#p155364). This was heat embossed with VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). A die from the Ornate Frames (#150664) was used to cut the sentiment. Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the sentiment to the card. A Gilded Gem (#152478) was attached to the centre of the poinsettia.

Have a fantastic day!!

Feels Like Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello my friends,

I always say that you don't need to do a lot on a card when using many of the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Designer Paper. The scene on this paper from the Feels Like Frost 6”x6” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#150444) is one of those papers.

I dry embossed the Whisper White card (#106549) using the Wrapped In Texture Embossing Folder (#153574). I cut a circle using a Layering Circles Dies (#151770) from the DSP, then attached this to the White card. The Snowflake Splendor 1/4” Ribbon (#153548) was wrapped around the cardfront, then this was attached to the Whisper White base card.

The sentiment from the Wrapped In Christmas stamp set (#153481) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283), then heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment and the scalloped circle from the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) were also cut with Layering Circles Dies. The sentiment was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The star and snowflake embellishments are from the Snowflake Sequins (#150443) and glued to the card with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309).

Enjoy your day!!

Pine Woods Dies

Hi friends,

This lovely tree was cut with dies from the Pine Woods Dies (#153563).

I cut the solid tree from the Rainbow Glimmer Paper (#153056). The detailed tree was cut from Brushed Metallic 12”x12” cardstock (#153524) which I had adhered the Adhesive Sheets (#152334) to the back before cutting.

The base card is Whisper White (#106549), the next layer is Cherry Cobbler (#121681) then Whisper White again. This was dry embossed with the Texture Textile 3D  Embossing Folder (#152718). The Designer Series Paper is from the Classic Christmas DSP (#155969). This paper is now available for purchase, along with the Curvy Celebration stamp sets and dies. “Merry Christmas” is from the Curvy Christmas stamp set (#155364) and stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083). This sentiment and the Cherry Cobbler card were punched with the Banners Pick A Punch (#153608). And 

I cut a piece of Whisper White card with a Stitched Nested Labels Die (#149638) and dry embossed it with one of the Wrapped In Christmas Embossing Folder (#153574). The tree was attached to this with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430), then the card was finished by adding the Cherry Cobbler rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#150457).

Enjoy your day,

Graces Garden

Welcome friends,

Another challenge for myself today. I chose a stamp and a die which I haven’t used for some time, so my challenge was to use these on a card. The stamp is the All Wired Up background stamp (#149262) and a die from the Beautiful Boughs (#150661).

The cardstock is Very Vanilla (#106650) and Real Red (#106578). I stamped the background with the All Wired Up stamp using Smokey Slate ink (#147113). The Real Red card was cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820) and dry embossed with one of the Wrapped In Texture Embossing Folder (#153574).

The sentiment, flowers, cat and bird are all images from Graces Garden stamp set (#p151513). I used Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) to stamp the flowers, cat and sentiment. The bird was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). The sentiment was cut with a die from the Beautiful Boughs dies and the other stamped images were cut with dies from the Garden Gateway Dies (#151512).

The Stampin’ Blends used to colour the images are Real Red (#154899), Mango Melody (#154888), Granny Apple Green (#154885) and Smokey Slate (#154904).

The flowers, bird and cat are attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). A red Wonderful Gem (#153536) was added to the sentiment and I added glimmer to the flowers, bird & cat using the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897).

I hope your are having a crafty day!!

Daisy Lane

Hi,

I love the simplicity of the silver and white on this card.

The cardstock I have used is Whisper White (#106549) and Silver Foil Sheets (#132178). I dry embossed the Whisper White cardfront with one of the Wrapped In Texture Embossing Folders (#153574). This was attached to a piece of Silver Foil Sheet. I attached a smaller piece of Silver Foil to the cardfront, then wrapped the 1/2” Metallic Mesh Ribbon (#153550) around this, then attached the whole piece to the Whisper White base card.

I stamped 2 of each of the large and small daisies from the Daisy Lane stamp set (#c149325). These were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109131) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The large daisies were punched with the Daisy Punch (#143713) and the smaller daisies with the Medium Daisy Punch (#149517). These were all assembled using Mini Glue Dots (#103683) then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

I adhered the Adhesive Sheets (#152334) to the back of the Silver Foil Sheet and cut the leaves and flourishes with dies from the Butterfly Beauty Dies (#151819) and adhered these to the card. “Happy Anniversary” from the Many Mates stamp set (#c152633) was also silver embossed and was cut with a Stitched So Sweetly Die (#151690) and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Clear embellishments from the Frosted & Clear Epoxy Droplets (#147801) were added to the flower, sentiment and card to finish the card.

Have a great day, hopefully with some crafting time.

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!!
