Perennial Postage dies

 Hi friends,

I used the Perennial Postage dies (#162607) to cut the sentiment and the coloured card.

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder (#164695) and matted it with Basic Black card (#121688). This was attached to the Basic White base card.

The coloured cards are Daffodil Delight (#121680), Pumpkin Pie (#108601), Azure Afternoon (#161728) and Real Red (#106578).

The flowers from the Year Of Flowers stamp set (#165367) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). These were cut with the co-ordinating Year Of Flowers dies (#165374). When the flowers are stamped it includes a different month of the year for each flower. This is actually cut off when using the dies. A great tip when matching the dies with the stamp is the dies have a number on it corresponding to the month, i.e. January has number 1, February has number 2 etc. 

I glued the flowers to the coloured card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

The sentiment is from the same stamp set. This was also cut with a Perennial Postage die. However there isn't one the size I wanted, so I cut it as shown below by cutting 3 sides, then repositioning the die to cut the other side.

I matted the sentiment with Basic Black card. This and the coloured cards were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The retired Dragonfly Trinkets were added to complete the card.

Year Of Flowers Bundle

 Hello & welcome,

There are a large range of new products available on the Online Exclusives from 4th March, including the Year Of Flowers Bundle (#165375) consisting of the Year Of Flowers stamp set (#165367) and the Year Of Flowers dies (#165374), and used for todays card.

There are 12 different flowers in this set, each including a month of the year next to the flower. However when these are cut with the dies, the month is removed, which is great if you don't want the month on it. The flowers were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends to colour the images are Daffodil Delight (#154883), Azure Afternoon (#161672) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). These were cut with the co-ordinating dies.

The leaves were cut with dies from the same set using Granny Apple Green card (#147014) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). The 4 pieces of Daffodil Delight card (#121680) was also cut with a die from the Year Of Flowers.

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder (#165559) and matted it with Daffodil Delight card. This was taped to the Basic White base card.

The Daffodil Delight die cuts were taped to the card front, the leaves were attached (they have adhesive backing) and the flowers were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I cut the small banner for the sentiment with a Countryside Corners die (#161471), then I stamped “Best Wishes” from the Sentimental Park stamp set (#160561). Normally I would stamp first then cut, but as this is a solid die you can’t see if the sentiment is lined up correctly. So I cut first then stamped. This is also easy to get right with these photopolymer stamps which you can see through.

The sentiment was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the flowers and added the Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels (#158987).
