By The Bay

Welcome everyone,

Firstly, I have been reminiscing after coming across some old stamps I had as a kid and just loved stamping with them. Of course back then (about 55 - 60 years ago) we only had one coloured ink. So my love of stamping goes back a long way. These are the stamps -

Now to today’s card. I like the simplicity of this black and white card using the By The Bay stamp set (#cling149739).

I embossed the Whisper White base card (#106549) with the Subtles 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing folder (#143706). The scene and sentiment were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The white  and Basic Black card (#121688) were cut with the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies (#148551). The circles were cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits (#145372) and the Layering Circles Framelits (#141705). The ribbon is Black/Silver 1/4” Striped Metallic Ribbon (#148486). I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the rectangle and circle to the card.

Have a great day.

Botanical Butterflies DSP

Hello,

I am just loving this Botanical Butterflies Designer Series Paper (#149622) as part of  Sale-a-bration.

Each layer is cut with the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies (#148551), another favourite of mine. I used Whisper White card (#106549), Grapefruit Grove (#146995) and the Botanical Butterfles DSP. The sentiment is from the Butterfly Gala stamp set (#p148580) and stamped with the Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708).  I punched a butterfly from the DSP which co-ordinates with the Butterfly Duet Punch (#148523). This was attached to the card with a Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430), then I added some Metallic Pearls (#146282) to the butterfly and card.

Enjoy your day.

All Adorned - Sale-a-bration

Hi everyone,

I just received the All Adorned stamp set (#cling149728) which is a Sale-a-bration set and just had to start playing with it. I teamed it up with the doilies cut with the Doily Builder Thinlits Dies (#148553).

I stamped the image from All Adorned stamp set using Pineapple Punch ink (#147141). The Stamparatus (#148187) makes it so easy to stamp the images in each corner. I cut the Whisper White card (#106549) to 10cm x10cm and just rotated the card each time I stamped. The Doilies were cut from Pineapple Punch card (#146994) and I used the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet (#144106) on the back. The white card was attached to a piece of Basic Black card (#121688). The base card was embossed with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder (#139672). I also used Basic Black to cut “Celebrate” & “You” from the Celebrate You Thinlits (#146840).

That’s all for today.

Embossing on Vellum

Hello & Welcome,

I often have customers ask what can you do with vellum. Well the answer is basically whatever you can do with card. Here I have heat embossed the leaves onto vellum.

I stamped the leaves from the Wonderful Romance stamp set (#cling148632) onto Vellum cardstock (#106584) using VersaMark (#102283). I used White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109132) which was heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056). Remember to rub the vellum (or card) with an Embossing Buddy (#103083) before stamping to prevent extra powder sticking to your project. If any powder is still on the card, a small paint brush can remove any unwanted powder before heating. The base card is Lemon Lime Twist (#144250) and the Designer Series Paper is from the Gingham Gala 6”x6” DSP (#148554). The ribbon is also Lemon Lime Twist from Sale-a-bration. I hope you were able to get this while it was in stock. Unfortunately it is sold out but there are still heaps of free products available. “Happy Birthday” is from the Birthday Wishes For You stamp set (#c145742, #w145739) and stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I attached the vellum in the corners with Mini Glue Dots (#103683), then added the Glitter Enamel Dots (#146934) on top so the dots aren’t visible.

Have a great day.

Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper

Hello,

The Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (#149622) is one of the Sale-a-bration products, free with a $90 order. This DSP has one side which is coloured and the other side is black and white. For all the butterfly lovers (like me) you will just love it. You can colour the black & white images or leave them as is like I did on this gorgeous card.

I have used Whisper White card (#106549), Basic Black card (#121688) as well as the DSP for the stripped paper and the butterflies. These butterflies were punched with the co-ordinating Butterfly Duet Punch (#148523). The Whisper White rectangle was cut with the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies (#148551) and the oval was cut with a die from the Wonderful Floral Framelits Dies (#148529). The butterflies were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Sale-a-bration will be coming to an end on 31st March, so if you haven’t got all your free products on your wish list, contact me as soon as possible.

Enjoy your day,

Climbing Roses with Gingham Gala DSP

Welcome everyone,

Doesn’t this Highland Heather Gingham Gala 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#148554) make a beautiful background? 

I have 5 layers on this card, starting with Whisper White base card (#106549), Gorgeous Grape (#147011), Gingham Gala DSP, another Gorgeous Grape and Whisper White. The sentiment is from the Painted Glass stamp set (#c147461, #w147458) and stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099). The image under the sentiment is from the Climbing Roses stamp set (#cling148658). I stamped this also with Gorgeous Grape ink using the stamping off method. The 2 top rectangles were cut with the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies (#148551). I cut the flower/leaves image with a die from the Rose Trellis Thinlits Dies (#148549) from both Gorgeous Grape card and Granny Apple Green card (#147014) which had the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet (#14416) adhered to the back. I cut the leaves off the Gorgeous Grape flower and then attached the flower on top of the Granny Apple Green flower, then attached it to the card. 

Have a great day.

Country Floral Dynamic TIEF

Hello friends,

The Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (#149698) is a new Sale-a-bration product and isn’t it just beautiful, so doesn’t need a lot of other detail with it.

Before embossing the Soft Sea Foam card front (#147012) I brayered one side of the Embossing Folder with Lemon Lime Twist Ink (#147145), then embossed the card to give a lovely subtle colour to the card. Then I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) just on the Rose to add some glitter (you probably can’t see it in the photo). I attached the cardfront to Basic Black card (#121688), then wrapped the Black 3/8” Glittered Organdy Ribbon (#147897) around the card, before attaching this to the Lemon Lime Twist base card (#144250). Happy Birthday is from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (#c146667, #w146664) and stamped with Lemon Lime Twist ink. I punched the sentiment with the Classic Label punch (#141491) and attached it to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Have a great day.
