True Love DSP and Stampin’ Blends

Hello again,

I have had so much fun colouring the flowers from the True Love Designer Series Paper (#154281) and I have made so many beautiful cards with them.

I fussy cut the flowers and coloured them with Stampin’ Blends - Highland Heather (#154887), Flirty Flamingo (#154884) and Granny Apple Green (#154885).

The Basic White card (#159228) for the background was coloured using the Blending Brushes (#153611). The inks used were Flirty Flamingo (#147052), Daffodil Delight (#147094) and Highland Heather (#147103). The leaves from the Vines Design stamp set (#154488) was stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). I then dry embossed the card with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317).

I attached this card to the Flirty Flamingo card (#141421) then to the Basic White base card.

I attached the Metallic Mesh Ribbon (#153550) to the card and the flowers were placed on top using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). “Celebrate” is from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (#151331) and stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink and also attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added the Pearl Basic Jewels (#144219) to the card.

Enjoy your day!!

Dragonfly Garden Bundle

Hi again my stamping friends,

I love when you can mix and match a variety of products, which I have done on today’s cards.

The 2 cards are basically the same but on one I only put one piece of the white card on top of the Designer Series Paper, used a different ribbon and sentiment and used an embossing folder on one of the white pieces of card.

I cut a piece of Basic White card (#159228) with 2 of the Curvy Dies (#154319). On the 2nd card I dry embossed the white card with one of the Meadow Moments Embossing Folders (#153126).  The white card was then attached to the Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper (#157613), which is part of the free product from Sale-a-bration. This is in a bundle with the Berry Blessings stamp set. 

The DSP was attached to the Rich Razzleberry card (#119981). The ribbon on the 1st card is Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon (#144213). I coloured this with a Sponge Dauber (#133773) and Rich Razzleberry ink (#147091) before wrapping around the card. The Purple Posy ribbon from Playing With Patterns Ribbon Combo Pack (#152468) was used on the 2nd card.

Both sentiments are from the Many Mates stamp set (#152633) and stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink. I used the Stitched Nested Labels dies (#149638) to cut the sentiment and the Rich Razzleberry card under the sentiment. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430),

I stamped the dragonfly from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set (#154411) using VersaMark (#102283), sprinkled with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129), then heat set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The dragonfly was coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Rich Razzleberry (#154898) and Purple Posy (#154896), then punched with the Dragonflies Punch (#154240). I also punched another butterfly from Rich Razzleberry card. This was attached to the card and the coloured dragonfly was attached on top with Stampin Dimensionals. I slightly offset the dragonflies so you could see some of the colour from the bottom dragonfly. When I attach the dragonflies I usually only have the Dimensionals under the middle of the body, so you can curve the wings up slightly and it also allows you to see the coloured dragonfly underneath.

To finish the card I added some Pearl Basic Jewels (#144219).

Sale-a-bration

Hello,

Today I have used 2 of the free Sale-a-bration products for 2 quick and easy cards.

The Designer Series Paper is Oh So Ombre (#155225) from Sale-a-bration. There are 4 colours in the pack, all with the ombré effect, in both plain and patterned. I used the Bermuda Bay and Rich Razzleberry colours. I stamped the flowers from the Corner Bouquet stamp set (#155273) - also from Sale-a-bration - with VersaMark (#102283) and sprinkled it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109132) then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056).

For the Rich Razzleberry card I coloured the floral image (which was white embossed) using the following Stampin’ Blends - Granny Apple Green (#154885), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Poppy Parade (#154958), Rococo Rose (#154900), Rich Razzleberry (#154898) and Calypso Coral (#154881).

I stamped Happy Birthday from Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595). For the Bermuda Bay card, I stamped with Bermuda Bay ink (#147096) and for the Rich Razzleberry card I heat embossed with the White Emboss Powder.

I glued the Woven Threads Sequins (#149498) to both cards using the Fine -Tip Glue Pen (#138309) to complete these very easy cards.

Sale-a-bration continues till the end of February, so you still have time to get more free products (with a qualifying $90 order).

Have a great weekend!!

True Love Designer Series Paper

Hi again my stamping friends,

I really do love this True Love Designer Series Paper (#154281) which is black and white and gives you the option of colouring it which is what I have done with the flowers. How vibrant are these colours!!

I have fussy cut and used many of the flowers from this pack for my own cards and for classes, so have found I have many of the flowers from the outside edge of the DSP unused. Of course we don’t like to waste anything, so decided to use the edge flowers for this card, by placing them around the edge of the geometric DSP from the same pack.

The flowers and leaves were coloured with the following Stampin’ Blends - Poppy Parade (#154958), Mango Melody (#154888), Highland Heather (#154887), Rococo Rose (#154900), Melon Mambo (#153112), Calypso Coral (#154881), Magenta Madness (#153106), Pumpkin Pie (#154897), Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Purple Posy (#154896) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). I used the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755) to attach the flowers to the DSP.

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595). I stamped this with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708), then re-stamped it with VersaMark (#102283) and sprinkled it with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109130), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). To do the stamping this way you need to use the Stamparatus (#148187), so that you can stamp in exactly the same place each time. This technique allows you to use any colour ink and have it heat embossed. The die to cut the sentiment is from the Potted Succulents dies (#154330). I attached the sentiment to the card with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals (#150893).

The white card for the sentiment and base card is Basic White (#159228). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897) to add some glitter to the flowers.

I hope your day has been a good one.

Floating & Fluttering

Hello again friends,

I have used my favourites on this card (again) - butterflies and purple!!

I stamped the image from Beauty Abounds stamp set (#148726) on the Basic White card (#159228) using Highland Heather ink (#147103). I used the Stamparatus (#148187) to stamp these images. The next layer is Gorgeous Grape card (#147011), followed by Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper (#154570), then Gorgeous Grape again, then the Basic White card base. 

The butterflies from the Floating & Fluttering stamp set (#154424) were stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Highland Heather (#154887) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). These were then cut with the Fluttering Dies (#154318). The 6 images are all cut in one piece. There are other dies to cut the images individually if you prefer. Happy Birthday was also stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink. This sentiment is from the Many Messages stamp set (#154510) and cut with the Messages Die. I sponged the edge of the sentiment with Gorgeous Grape ink. The butterflies and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The Gorgeous Grape 3/8” Sheer Ribbon (#154572) was wrapped around the card. I made the bow separately and attached it to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Have a great day!!

Free As A Bird

Hi & welcome friends,

Today’s card is a variation from yesterday’s card. I used the Very Vanilla card (#106550) that was left after cutting the oval for the sentiment for that card. This oval was cut with a Layering Ovals Die #(151771).

I stamped part of the image from the Beauty Abounds Stamp set (#148726) around the edges of the card. This was stamped with Soft Suede ink (#147115). I blended the Crumb Cake ink (#147116) and Soft Suede ink using a Blending Brush (#153611) around the Very Vanilla card.

On another piece of Very Vanilla card I stamped the birds from Free As A Bird stamp set  (#149468) using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (#132708). To colour this I used the following Stampin’ Blends - Seaside Spray (#154901), Petal Pink (#154893), So Saffron (#154905), Purple Posy (#154896), Pumpkin Pie (#154897), Granny Apple Green (#154885) and Crumb Cake (#154882)

Using 2 of the Layering Ovals Dies I cut the scalloped oval from the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) and attached this over the cut out oval of the Very Vanilla card. I attached this card onto a piece of Gold Foil with the middle removed. I attached the card front to the card with the birds using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430), then attached the whole piece to the Very Vanilla base card.

Happy Birthday is from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (#151331) and stamped with Soft Suede ink. An Ornate Frames die (#150664) was used to cut the sentiment and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A retired piece of gold trim was attached to the label.

Enjoy your day!!

Layering Ovals Dies

Hello friends,

A fairly easy card today using a couple of stamp sets, some dies and a Blending Brush.

The stamped images on the corners of the card are from the Beauty Abounds stamp set (#148726) and the partial flowers in between these are from the Vine Design stamp set (#154488). These were all stamped with Soft Suede ink (#147115). Then using a Blending Brush (#153611) I blended the Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) around the edges of the stamped Very Vanilla card (#106550). I spritzed this card with Frosted White Shimmer Paint (#147046) to give a lovely shimmer to the card. This was attached to the Soft Suede card (#119982). 

I wrapped the Fine Art 3/8” Ribbon (#154561) around the card front. The sentiment is from the Grace’s Garden stamp set (#151513) and stamped with VersaMark (#102283), then embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss powder (#109129) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was also spritzed with Frosted White Shimmer Paint. 

The ovals are cut with the Layering Ovals Dies (#151771). The yellow card is Daffodil Delight (#121680). These were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I lightly blended the oval with the sentiment using the Blending Brush and Daffodil Delight ink, then daubered the edge with Soft Suede ink. A Gold Glitter Enamel Dot (#152155) was added the the sentiment. The base card is also Very Vanilla.

Have a great day!!
