Lovely as a Tree

Hi again ladies,

I have combined a variety of stamp sets to get this scene on today's card.

The trees are of course from the Lovely As a Tree stamp set (#c127793, #w128655), the sun from Kinda Eclectic (#c135350, #w135347) and the clouds are from Sprinkles of Life (#p139971). I stamped the trees with Soft Suede ink (#126978) then using a Blender Pen (#102845) with Old Olive ink (#126953) and Pear Pizzaz ink (#131180) I added the green colour to the trees and the grass. The sun was stamped with So Saffron ink (#126957) and the clouds with Soft Sky. I stamped 1 of the clouds on spare card so I could punch it with the Tree Builder punch #(138295) and attach it with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430). The Cardstock is So Saffron (#108611), Soft Sky (#131292) and Whisper White (#106549). Just for You is from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set (#c120024, #w130042), stamped with Soft Suede ink and punched with the Word Window punch (#119857).

That's all for today.

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Lesley.

All God's Grace

Hello,

Here's a lovely simple but elegant card for a Sympathy card that I needed.

I used the Whisper White A4 Thick Cardstock (#140490) as well as Gold Foil Sheets (#132622). I used the full sheet of Whisper White and folded it in half. The sentiments is from the Petite Pairs stamp set (#c122497, #w128706), the cross is from All God's Grace (#c139915, #w138666) and the starburst is from the Kinda Eclectic stamp set (#c135360, #135347). All of these were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Embossing powder (#109129). The cross was cut by hand then attached using Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430).

That's all today.

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Lesley.

Kinda Eclectic

Hello,

As I went to tape the DSP onto this card, I couldn't decide which side of the DSP I liked best so then had to make 2. Which do you prefer? I'm still undecided. Makes it hard when both sides of the DSP are nice.

I used Very Vanilla (#106550) with Watermelon Wonder card (#138341) and the DSP is Timeless Elegance (#138444). The stamp sets used are Kinda Eclectic (#c135350, #w135347), World of Dreams (#c134186, #w134183) and Petite Petals (#c133155, #w133152). The leaves were stamped with Sahara Sand ink (#126976) using the stamping off method. Watermelon Wonder ink (#138323) was used for the butterfly, flowers and sentiment. I stamped the butterfly onto Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper (#121790), before punching with the Elegant Butterfly punch (#127526). The flowers were punched with the Petite Petals punch (#133322). I added Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the flowers and Butterfly and both were attached to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430).

That's all today,

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Lesley.

Butterflies Thinlits

 Hi and Welcome,

What would we do without Framelits? I use them on most cards - so easy to use and there is such a large variety which can be used separately or together.

The Bold Butterfly Framelits (#138135) co-ordinate with the Butterflies Thinlits (#137360) to make this butterfly. One cuts a solid butterfly, the other cuts the intricate design. The other Framelits are the Circle Collection (#130911) and Deco Labels Collection (#130102). I stamped the starburst from Kinda Eclectic stamp set (#c135350, #w135347) with Daffodil Delight ink (#126944). Happy Birthday is from Petite Pairs stamp set (#c122497, #w128706) and I used Pacific Point ink (#126951). The bow is made using the Bow Builder punch (#137414). Metal Rimmed Pearls (#138394) have been added to the bow and butterfly. I embossed the Whisper White card (#106549) for the background with the Brick Wall embossing folder (#138288). The blue card is Pacific Point (#116202) and Basic Black (#121688) was used for the top butterfly.

I have just received some of the new products from the new holiday catalogue which will be out on 1st September. There are so many fantastic products for Christmas, and I am now busy designing cards etc for an upcoming Christmas workshop. I can't believe I am already talking about Christmas! It's very exciting playing with new products and I look forward to sharing these with you in the near future.

Till next time,

Happy Stamping,

Lesley.
