The smaller flower is from the Petite Petals stamp set (#c133155, #w133152) using Daffodil Delight ink (#126944). The co-ordinating punch for this flower is Petite Petals (#133322). The flower for the centre was punched with the little flower from the Tree Builder punch (#138295). The leaves are punched with the Bird Builder punch (#117191). I also used some Gold Metallic Thread (#138401). Happy Birthday is from Sassy Salutations (#126707, #w132070) and stamped with Calypso Coral ink.

Serene Silhouettes

Hi and Welcome,

I was very pleased with the finished results of this card in Black and White with just a touch of colour.

I used Whisper White card (#106549) and Basic Black (#121688) with DSP from the Everday Chic Designer Series Paper (#138445). I cut 2cm from the front of the card and taped the DSP and Basic Black to the inside as shown.

Happy Birthday from Sassy Salutations stamp set (#c126707, #w132070) has been stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Black Stampin' Emboss Powder (#109133) which was then heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I stamped the background images with the Work Of Art stamp set (#c134114, #w134111) using Soft Sky ink (#131181), So Saffron (#126957) and Pear Pizzaz (#131180). The birds in the tree from Serene Silhouettes stamp set (#c127324, #w132073) was also heat set with Black embossing powder and VersaMark.

Hope you have had a great day.

Till next time,

Happy Stamping,

Lesley.

Butterflies Thinlits

Hello,

This butterfly is cut using the Butterflies Thinlits (#137360).

The card for the butterfly is Melon Mambo (#119980). I stamped the image from Everything Eleanor (#c124164, #w131987) onto Whisper White card (#106548), using Melon Mambo ink (#126948) and using the stamping off method. This was then cut with the Deco Labels Collection Framelits (#130102) and taped to the Everyday Chic DSP (#138445). The butterfly was attached to this using Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430). I added some of the White Perfect Accents (#138416) to the centre of the butterfly. I taped the Melon Mambo 3/8" Stitched Satin ribbon (#138431) to the DSP. Happy Birthday is from the Sassy Salutations stamp set (#c126707, #132070). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Black Embossing powder (#109133), then heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056). 

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Lesley.

Bird Builder punch

Hello,

It's easy to forget some of the older products when a new catalogue arrives, so today I have gone back to another old favourite - the Bird Builder punch (#117191) but also used some new products as well.

The cardstock I have used is Whisper White (#106549), Red Foil Sheets (#139607), Red Glimmer Paper (#121790) and Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper (#135315). I embossed the base card with the Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (#139672). Thinking of You is from the Sassy Salutations stamp set (#c126707, #w132070) and stamped with Real Red ink (#126949). The image from World of Dreams stamp set (#c134184, #w134183) was stamped with Crumb Cake ink (#126975). I attached the bird which was punched with the Bird Builder Punch with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430).

It's the end of another busy week. Not sure where the time goes.

Have a great weekend.

Happy Stamping! 

Lesley.

Everything Eleanor

Hello and welcome,

I have used the stamping off method when stamping these flowers from Everything Eleanor stamp set (#c124164, #w131987) to give a lighter image.

The cardstock I have used is Whisper White (#106549), Mint Macaron (#138344) and Tangelo Twist (#133684). The scalloped edges are cut with the Small Scallop Stampin' Trimmer Rotary Cutting Blade (#129410). This is used with the Stampin' Trimmer Rotary addition (#132986) which is attached to the Stampin' Trimmer (#129722). The inks used are Mint Macaron (#138326) and Tangelo Twist (#133646). Happy Birthday is from the Sassy Salutations stamp set (#c126707, #w132070). The lace is Mint Macaron 1" Dotted Lace Trim (#138424). The flowers were attached with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430) and I added a bit of sparkle to the flowers with the Gold Glitz Dazzling Details (#133755).

Today's tip: When using the Rotary blade you must turn your cutting mat to the smooth side (you use the normal trimmer with the grove in the mat). The mat has 2 smooth sides and 2 sides with the groove.

Have a great day.

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Lesley.

Butterfly Basics

Hello,

Not sure if this card fold has a particular name but it looks like a normal card till you open it. Hopefully the recipient knows how to display it. I made some Christmas cards like this a couple of years ago and I found out later most people didn't realise this was how the card was meant to be. I think I should have sent instructions with the cards.

The base card is Very Vanilla (#106550) and I have also used Real Red card (#106578) and Timeless Elegance DSP (#138444). I scored the front in the centre of the card to be able to make the fold, before embossing with the Elegant Dots embossing folder (#138287). The labels were cut with the Deco Labels Collection Framelits (#127012) and Happy Birthday from Sassy Salutations stamp set (#c126707, #w132070) is stamped with Real Red ink (#126949). Only tape the bottom part of the label to the card to allow the card to be be displayed as shown.  I added some Metal Rimmed Pearls (#138394) under the sentiment.

The flowers are from Butterfly Basics stamp set (#c139950, #w138694) and were stamped with Pear Pizzaz ink (#131180) on the inside of the card.  I also stamped the flowers using Real Red ink on some scrap card, hand cut them and placed them on top of the already stamped flowers using Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430). This holds the card in place as shown.

Here are this weeks WEEKLY DEALS. Check them out and if you would like to take advantage of any of these specials just let me know.

Have a great day.

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Lesley.
