Butterflies Thinlits

Hello and Welcome,

With this being such a busy time of the year, I am finding it hard to post a blog every day, so apologies if I don't get one done each day till things quieten down a bit. 

It's been a while since I have made a card with a butterfly (and I am sure you know I love butterflies), so here is one.

The base card is Whisper White (#106549). I attached the beautiful Winter Wonderland Specialty DSP (#139588) to a piece of Bermuda Bay card (#131286). Happy Birthday is from the Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set (#p140273) and stamped with Bermuda Bay ink (#131171). The punch used for "birthday" is the Washi Label punch (#138296). The butterfly from the Bermuda Bay card was cut with the Butterflies Thinlits (#137360) and the gold butterfly was cut with the Bold Butterfly Framelits (#138135). The gold card is Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). After cutting this butterfly I embossed it with the Decorative Dots folder (#133520). I used Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the butterflies.

Have a great day.

Happy Stamping!

Lesley.

Mini Treat Bags

Hello,

I will be very quick with this blog as its getting late. I made these Mini Treat Bags using the Mini Treat Bag Framelits (#137547) and filled them with chocolates for some Christmas gifts.

The paper is from the Home For Christmas Designer Series Paper (#139592). The tag was made using the Scalloped Tag Topper and the Curvy Corner Trio Punch (#139683). I stamped the Christmas Wishes from Cosy Christmas stamp set (#c139779, #w139776) using Real Red ink (#126949). The ribbon is Gold 1/8" ribbon (#134583). 

That's all today.

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Lesley.

Peaceful Pines

Hello and welcome,

This is just one of the 8 Christmas Tree images in the Peaceful Pines stamp set (#p139728).

The tree was stamped with Cucumber Crush ink (#138324), then cut with the co-ordinating Perfect Pines Framelits (#139665). This stamp set and Framelits are also sold as a bundle (#140850) with a 15% saving. Using another Framelit from the same set, I cut the holes for the "string of lights".

I cut another tree from Real Red card and placed it under the stamped tree so you can see the "lights". The Cardstock is Real Red (#126949), Whisper White (#106549), Winter Wonderland Specialty DSP (#139588) and Gold Foil sheets (#132622). Thinking Of You is from the Embellished Ornaments stamp set (#c139759, #w139756) and stamped with Real Red Ink (#126949). I also embossed the Whisper White card with the Softly Falling Embossing folder (#139672). The Christmas tree and tub were attached with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430). The tub is also cut with a Framelit from the Perfect Pines Framelits Dies.

Have you finished your Christmas cards yet? I'm still finishing mine and hopefully have them in the mail soon.

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Lesley.

The stamp set is Flurry of Wishes (#p139732). The punch which co-ordinates with this image is Flower Medallion (#137417). The circle is cut with one of the Circles Collection Framelits (#130911). The Cardstock is Night of Navy (#106577) and Whisper White (#106549). The snowflake is attached to the circle with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430). The sentiments are also part of the Flurry Of Wishes set and using Night of Navy ink.

A quick and easy card after another busy day.

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Awesomely Artistic

Hello friends,

When stamping this card, I temporarily attached the smaller piece of Whisper White (#106549) to the base card. Then I stamped the image from the Awesomely Artistic stamp set (#c138816, #w138813, #p137154) using Wild Wasabi ink (#126985). This allows the images to match on both pieces of card.

The base card was embossed with the Honeycomb folder (#129378). I then taped the Perfect Plum card (#108615) under the smaller white card and attached this to the base card, ensuring the images lined up. I then stamped the flowers with So Saffron ink (#126957), cut these by hand and attached with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430). The butterfly was stamped with Perfect Plum ink (#126963) and punched with the Bitty Butterfly punch (#129406). Happy Birthday Wishes is from the Petite Pairs stamp set (#c122497, #w128706). I punched this with the Scallop Oval (#119856) as well as the Perfect Plum card.

I have been way for the past 2 weeks (that's why I haven't done a blog every day). I am now home after a relaxing holiday to Moruya on the south coast of NSW, ready for a busy few weeks leading up to Christmas.

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Lesley.

Birthday Blossoms

Hello,

The beautiful DSP is from the Winter Wonderland Specialty Designer Series Paper (#139588). It may be part of the Christmas designs but still can be used for other occasions as I have done on this birthday card.

The other Cardstock is Whisper White (#106549) and Real Red (#106578). The stamp set for the flowers, leaves and sentiment are from the Birthday Blossoms set (#c139471, #w139167). The flowers are stamped with Real Red ink (#126949) and punched with the Pansy Punch (#130698). The leaves and sentiment are stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Embossing powder (#109129) and heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I punched the small flowers for the centre of the flowers using the Tree Builder Punch (#138295) from the Gold Glimmer Paper (#133719). These were glued to the flowers with the 2-way Glue Pen (#100425). The red card and DSP were cut with the Lots of Labels Framelits (#138281).
