Forever Fern Bundle

Hi everyone,

I think I have mentioned before that this is one of my favourite bundles, the Forever Fern Bundle (#154094). In fact the Forever Greenery suite Collection (#154143) has a combination of beautiful co-ordinating products including Designer Series paper, Gold Hoops Embellishments, Gold Laser Cut Paper and embossing folders.



I stamped the feathers from the Tasteful Touches stamp set (#c152562) using VersaMark (#102283) and White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109132). After setting with the Heat Tool (#129056) I lightly daubered over the embossed feather with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). Then I stamped the leaves on the Whisper White card front (#106549) also with Soft Sea Foam ink. All the stamped leaves and berries/flowers are from the Forever Fern stamp set (#c152559). The berries or flowers (not sure what to call them so I will call them berries) have been stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). This was done with the Stamparatus (#148187) as I also wanted to stamp it with the VersaMark and add Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109130). The other coloured leaves were coloured by daubering the ink onto the stamp. For 2 of the sets of leaves I used Cajun Craze ink (#147085) in the middle and Old Olive ink (#147090) on the outside, and for the 3rd set of leaves I used Old Olive and Crushed Curry ink (#147087). I added some glitter to these leaves using the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897). These leaves, the berries and the leaves from the Old Olive card (#106576) were all cut with the Forever Flourishing Dies (#152714). The leaves from the Old Olive card were then Spritzed with Frost White Shimmer Paint #147046). Before attaching all the leaves to the card I embossed part of the card front with one of the Greenery Embossing Folders (#152716). “Happy Birthday” from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (#c151331) was stamped with Real Red ink and cut with a Tasteful Labels Die (#152886). I added the Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#146924) to the greeting. I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the Old Olive leaves and the red berries, and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to add the other leaves to the card as well as the greeting. I sponged the edge of the cardfront with Soft Sea Foam ink.

I hope you have had a chance to do some crafting this weekend.

Greenery Embossing Folder

Hello & welcome friends,

I have just received this new Greenery embossing folder (#152716) which is one of 2 folders in the set so couldn’t wait to use it on a card. These folders are narrower than the normal embossing folders. They measure 8.6cm x 15.9cm and I still didn’t use the whole width of the folder on this card.




I have used Whisper White card (#106549) for all the elements. The flowers and leaves are from the Forever Blossoms stamp set (#151457). I used Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052) for the flowers and Granny Apple Green ink (@147095) for the leaves. These were cut with the co-ordinating Cherry Blossoms dies (#151456). I wrapped the gorgeous metallic gold trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (#152475) around the card front, then added the Gold Hoop Embellishment (#152474) using Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to adhere it to the card. I ensured the dots would be hidden under the flowers. The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves with Mini Glue Dots. I added the Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#151193) to the flowers sentiment and card. “Thanks You” is from the Blossoms In Bloom stamp set (#p152684) and stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink. This was cut with the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch (#152883). This punch allows you to punch 6 different labels, which can be layered, and cut any length you require to suit a variety of sentiments, so very versatile.

Have a crafty weekend!!

Ornate Style

Hi everyone,

These flowers on today’s card are from the Ornate Style stamp set (#c152572).




I stamped the floral image twice, using VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I fussy cut the outline of one image and 3 of the flowers from the second image. I used Stampin’ Blends to colour the images. Th colours used are Soft Sea Foam (#154902), Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Calypso Coral (#154881), Purple Posy (#154896), Pool Party (#154894), Daffodil Delight (#154883) and Pumpkin Pie (#15487). I also coloured the Pearl Basic Jewels (#144219) with these Stampin’ Blends. I attached the 2 Daffodil Delight flowers and the Pumpkin Pie flower with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) over the larger flower image. The card front is from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (#152494). I also gold embossed the edges of the DSP by daubering VersaMark along the edges and adding the Embossing Powder. The Gold  Foil Sheet (#132622) was cut with a die from the Ornate Borders Dies (#152724) and attached to the card with Adhesive Sheets (#152334). I am so pleased to have these available again as it makes it so much easier to adhere the detailed cut outs to your project. Just adhere a piece onto the back of your cardstock before cutting. “Happy Birthday” is from the Blossoms In Bloom stamp set (#p152684) and this was also gold embossed. I used a Stitched Rectangle Die (#151820) to cut the sentiment.

I hope you have a great weekend, stay safe & keep crafting!!

The 2 pieces of DSP are from this pack and attached to the Whisper White base card (#106549). The ribbon is Whisper White 1/4” Crinkled Seam Binding (#151326) and I coloured this by sponging with Poppy Parade ink (#147050).

I used VersaMark (#102283) and White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109132) which was heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056). These were punched with the Medium Daisy punch (#149517). The 2 daisies were assembled together with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

World Of Good Masculine card

Hi and welcome again,

It is so easy to make a quick card using the Memories & More Card Packs. These packs are great for cards and scrapbooking. They include 2 sizes of double sided cards of various designs as well as stickers. I have used the World Of Good Memories & More Card Pack (#153600).



I attached the larger piece of designer paper to the Whisper White base card (#106549). The next layer is Night Of Navy card (#106577), then the smaller piece is another piece of designer paper from the pack. I stamped Happy Birthday from Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) onto the card using VersaMark (#102283), sprinkled with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109131) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The 3 stickers under the sentiment are also from the Memories & More pack and have adhesive backs, making the card so easy to assemble.

Enjoy your day & keep crafting!!

Forever Fern Bundle

Welcome everyone,

I have made so many projects using the Forever Fern Bundle (#c154094) so here is another card.




The Designer Series Paper is the 2020-2022 In-Color 6”x6” DSP (#153070). The strip under the sentiment is the reverse of the cardfront. The colour is Just Jade. I coloured the 2 tone leaves by daubering onto the stamp with Mint Macaron ink (#147106) and Crushed Curry ink (#147087). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) to add glitter to the leaves. The smaller leaves were stamped with Soft Suede ink (#147115). These leaves and the small leaves from the Brass Foil Sheet (#153057) were all cut with the Forever Flourishing Dies (#152714). The outline leaf is from the Forever Gold Laser Cut Specialty Paper (#152493). The sentiment is from the Forever Fern stamp set and stamped with Mint Macaron ink (I’m still waiting on my new In Color inks otherwise I would have used Just Jade). The sentiment was cut with a Tasteful Labels Die (#152886) and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Have a great day and keep crafting!!

Tasteful Touches stamp set

Hi Ladies & Guys,

I seem to be attracted to the feather from the Tasteful Touches stamp set (#c152562) as I have used it on many of my cards recently, and yes I am using it again.




The feathers, flower and sentiment are all from this same stamp set. I stamped the feathers and flower using VersaMark (#102283) and sprinkled them with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109131) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). These were then fussy cut. The In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (#152494) was attached to Rococo Rose card (#150888), then I wrapped the Rococo Rose 1/2” Scalloped Linen Ribbon (#149704) around the cardfront. This was then attached to the Whisper White base card (#106549). The sentiment was stamped with Rococo Rose ink (#150080) and this was cut with a Tasteful Labels Die (#152886). The sentiment, flower and one feather were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) were added to the sentiment.

Have a great day & keep crafting!!
