Venetian Romance DSP

Hello Stampers,

I love the colours and designs in the Venetian Romance DSP.



When the card is opened it looks like boxes of presents.






Firstly, the front of the card. The base card is Crisp Cantaloupe (#131303). Other cardstock used are Pistachio Pudding (#131299), Island Indigo (#124390), Very Vanilla (#106550) and Venetian Romance DSP (#130144).
Framelits used are Ovals Collection (#129381) and Labels Collection (#125598). The Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch (#119275) Was also used. Sassy Salutations (#126707) was the Stamp set for the Happy Birthday which was stamped with Crisp Cantaloupe ink (#131176).

Now for the inside. Cut a piece of Very Vanilla card at 13.5 cm x 20.5cm. Fold the card in half. With the folded part at the top of the trimmer, measure from the left 1.5cm, cut down 2.5cm. Ensure it cuts through both layers. Then at 3cm cut down 4cm. Then at 7cm, cut down 5 cm, then at 11.5cm cut down 5 cm again. Next, fold at the end of these cuts as shown in the diagram below. Cut pieces of DSP to fit, and tape to the card.




To finish off, tape the Very Vanilla card to the base card, of course making sure not to tape the pieces of the "presents" to the card.


Thought for the day-



Thanks for your support.
Till next time,
😊Happy Stamping😊
Lesley.

Mixed Bunch Stamp and Blossom Punch

Hello again,

I heat embossed this flower from Mixed Bunch stamp set (#125537) using Versa mark (#102283) and White embossing powder onto White Vellum (#106584).




On the back of the image, using a Stampin' Write Marker in Melon Mambo (#131259), I coloured the petals. This gives a lovely colour to the flower on the correct side. I then punched the flower with the Blossom punch (#125603) and attached it to a piece of White Cardstock (#106549). The Pacific Point card (#106576) and white card were cut with the Circle Collection Framelits (#130911). The DSP is from the Brights Colour Collection Stack (#130134). The Melon Mambo Cardstock (#119980) was embossed using the Stylish Stripes folder (#132174) from the holiday catalogue. Happy Birthday is from the Itty Bitty Banners stamp set (#126257) and stamped with Pacific Point ink (#126951), then cut with the Bitty Banners Framelits (#127012). The Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch (#119275) was used for the Pacific Point card under the sentiment. The centre of the flower has the small flower punched from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack (#118309), with a Candy Dot attached from the Neutrals Collection (#130934).

Thought for the day-




I'll be back again soon,
So till then,
😊Happy Stamping😊

Christmas Star

Hello,

Today I am showing the beautiful Christmas decoration we made at my friend Lyn's card class this week.







This is double sided using Summer Starfruit DSP from the In Colour DSP stack (#130136). We used 3 strips of DSP to form the rosette and the Designer Rosette Bigz XL (#125594) cuts and scores the paper. The Christmas Star (#134813) was stamped using versamark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold embossing powder (#109139) onto Summer starfruit card (#127542). This star is available for a limited time as a single stamp. The star was shaped and to ensure it stays in shape we added some silicone under the centre before glueing to the card. A piece of Silver 1/8" ribbon (#132137) was added for the hanger.

Don't forget to check out the latest Digital downloads.

Till next time,
😊Happy Stamping😊

Mixed Bunch


Hi all,

Pacific Point and Crushed Curry are the colour combinations on this card and the look great together.





The Pacific Point card (#116202) is embossed with the Fancy Fan folder (#127751). The lovely flower is from the Mixed Bunch stamp set (#125537), stamped onto Whisper White card (#106549) and punched with the Blossom Punch (#125603). I used Pacific Point ink (#126951) to stamp the images. I punched a piece of Pacific point card with the Blossom punch, then cut each "petal" and taped them to the flower. The DSP is from the Brights Colour Collection DSP Stack (#130134). Crushed Curry card (#131288) is cut with the Circles Collection Framelits (#130911) and placed behind the flower. The Frosted Finishes Embellishments (#132150) were added to the flower center. The ribbon is Pacific Point 1/4" Grosgrain. Thinking of You is from the Sassy Salutations stamp set (#126707) and the punch I used for this is the Decorative Label (#120907). Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the flower and the sentiment.

Thought for the day-





Have a great day,

Mosaic Madness

Hi,
Today's card is a quick and easy one.



The card stock used is Tempting Turquoise (#108598), Rich Razzleberry (#119981) and Very Vanilla (#106550). This is a combination I probably wouldn't have considered but I consulted the Colour Coach (#130118) and this was one suggestion which is quite nice. The Stamp sets used are Mosaic Madness (#130249) with Bring on the Cake (#121958) for the sentiment. The punches are Mosaic (#131267) and Decorative Label (#120907). I embossed the base card with the Chevron folder. I added Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#119246) for a bit of sparkle.

Thought for the day -





Here is November's "Best Of" stamps. Contact me or order online if you would like to order them or anything else.




Till next time,
😊Happy Stamping😊
Lesley.

Flower Shop

Hello and welcome,

The lovely Glimmer Brads add a bit of sparkle to this card, as well as the Silver ribbon from the Holiday catalogue.






The card stock used are Raspberry Ripple (#127545), Primrose Petals (#127544) and Very Vanilla (#106550). I cut the Raspberry Ripple base card and the Primrose Petals with the Large Scallop Edgelits (#127019). Then I embossed the Primrose Petals with the Delicate Designs folder (#127023) which coordinates with the Edgelits. Using Raspberry Ripple ink (#126859) I stamped the flourish from Everything Eleanor (#124164). The flowers from Flower Shop set (#130942) were also stamped with Raspberry Ripple ink. Of course the coordinating Pansy punch (#130698) punched the flowers. The Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch (#119275) was used on the Very Vanilla card, then I added the Silver 1/8" Ribbon (#132137)
I didn't put a sentiment on this card. It could be used as a horizontal or vertical card, so I will add the sentiment when I use it and then decide which way it will go.

Thought for the day-




That's all for today,
Till next time,
😊Happy Stamping😊
Lesley.

Venetian Romance DSP

Hello,

I couldn't decide which of these 2 cards I liked - the same card but a slight colour change.








Unfortunately the Pistachio Pudding colour hasn't shown up as nice in the photos as it really is.
I used Pistachio Pudding card, (#131177), Very Vanilla (#106550), Basic Black (#121688) and the Venetian Romance DSP (#130144). I reversed the DSP at the bottom of the card to give the 2 different looks. I embossed the Very Vanilla Card with the Pretty Print embossing folder (#132175), after stamping the Happy Birthday from Sassy Salutations stamp set (#126707) using Basic Black ink (#126980). The butterflies from Papillon Potpourri stamp set (#123759) were stamped with Pistachio Pudding (#131177) and Crisp Cantaloupe (#131176). The circles were cut with the Circles Collection Framelits. On the Pistachio Pudding card I added Pearl Basic Jewels (#119247) to the butterfly.

Thought for the day-




Have a great weekend.
Till next time,
😊Happy Stamping😊
Lesley.
