True Love Designer Series Paper

Welcome everyone,


These flowers from the True Love Designer Series Paper (#154281) are so easy to colour with the Stampin’ Blends. This DSP is Black & White so can be left as is or coloured - either way looks great but I have enjoyed colouring the flowers.




The colours used are Poppy Parade (#154958), Daffodil Delight (#154883) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). The wreath is cut with a Wreath Builder Die (#152722) from Granny Apple Green card (#147014).
The Basic White (#159228) cardfront was dry embossed with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder (#149634), then the edges were daubered with Poppy Parade ink (#147050). I attached the wreath using Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The Gold Trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (#192475) was attached to the card and the flowers were placed on top using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).
The sentiment was stamped with Poppy Parade ink, and is from the Many Messages stamp (#154510) and cut with the co-ordinating Messages Die (#154510). I added the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#150457) to complete the card.

Have a great day!!

Game On

Hi friends,

Here are 2 male cards using the Game On stamp set (#152646) - both the same except for the chess or card images.





The base card and card front are Basic White (#159228). I dry embossed the card front with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317) and sponged the edges with Merry Merlot ink (#147112). Happy Birthday, the chess image and card image were stamped with Merry Merlot ink. The squares were cut with the Stitched Shapes Dies (#152323). The DSP is Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (#152483). The sentiment, DSP and stamped images are all matted with Merry Merlot card (#147005). I punched the sentiment with the Tailored Tag punch (#145667).
To mat the sentiment I punched the Merry Merlot card then cut it in half and attached the white card to the 2 pieces. The sentiment and squares were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Have a fantastic day!!

Quite Curvy Bundle

Hi again,

I have been absent for a few days as I have had family here from down south and wanted to spend as much time with them as possible but I am back to “work” again.

I love the Quite Curvy Bundle (#156228) which I have used for todays card.



The leaves and birds from the Quite Curvy stamp set (#154430) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Basic White card (#159228). The leaves and birds were coloured with the following Stampin’ Blends - Granny Apple Green (#154885), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Old Olive (#154892), Poppy Parade (#154958), Pumpkin Pie (#154897), Crumb Cake (#154882), Mango Melody (#154888) and Petal Pink (#154893). The leaves and birds were cut with the Curvy Dies (#154319).
The card front was dry embossed with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317). I punched the corner from the Crushed Curry DSP from the 6”x6” Regals Designer Series Paper (#153073) using the Detailed Trio Punch (#146320). This was then attached to the card front.
The sentiment is from the Butterfly Wishes stamp set (#149346) and cut with a Stitched So Sweetly Die (#151690). This was daubered around the edges with Crushed Curry ink (#147087). The leaves, birds and sentiment were all attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are from the Holiday Rhinestones Basic Jewels (#150457).
The Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) was used to add sparkle to the leaves and birds.

I hope your day has been a great one!!

Shadow Box

Hi again friends,

I have made this cute shadow box for my nephew’s baby boy, allowing to add a photo on the left and I will add his birth details on the label on the right. I have used current and retired Stampin’ Up! products.




The background is from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (#152494). There is also another lighter piece of this DSP at the bottom. The animals are stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Basic White card (#159228). The stamp sets are Animal Outing (retired), Zany Zebras (#152536) and Wildly Happy (#149408). I coloured the Giraffes with Ivory Stampin’ Blends (#154922), Pumpkin Pie (#154897) & Crumb Cake (#154882). The other animals had some extra colour added with Smokey Slate Stampin’ Blends (#154904) and the little bird (on the rhino) with Daffodil Delight (#154883) and Poppy Parade (#154958).
The kangaroo, rhino and giraffes were cut with the co-ordinating Animal Friends Dies. The Elephant and Zebra were fussy cut. The label for the information was cut with a Hippo & Friends Dies (#153585).
The fence was cut with a die from the Garden Gateway Dies (#151512). It is actually the gate but I cut the arch off so I just had a fence. I used Soft Suede card (#119982) for the fence and for the matted pieces. The grass was cut with a Friendly Silhouette Die (#149546) from Granny Apple Green card (#147014). I had Adhesive Sheets (#152334) on the back of this before cutting with the die.
The dragonflies are from the retired Detailed Dragonflies Dies and I used the (retired) Black Glitter paper. “Jack” and the card to attach a photo is Very Vanilla (#106550).

Have a great day!!

Butterfly Brilliance Bundle

Hi friends,

For the butterfly lovers, Butterfly Bouquet is now available to order. This includes a stamp set, dies and designer paper with butterflies everywhere.




There are 6 butterflies on one stamp and there is a die to cut the butterflies separately. There are also dies to cut the more detailed butterflies which I have used on this card.
The butterflies from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set (#155092) were stamped onto Basic White card (#159228) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). Then I sponged around each of the stamped butterflies using Blending Brushes (#153611) with these inks - Highland Heather (#147103), Pacific Point (#147098), Poppy Parade (#147050), Crushed Curry (#147087), Bermuda Bay (#147096) and Magenta Madness (#153117).
I then cut out the detailed butterflies with the Brilliant Wings Dies (#155523). The card used is Highland Heather (#147010), Pacific Point (#116202), Poppy Parade (#121694), Crushed Curry (#131288), Coastal Cabana (#131302) and Magenta Madness (#153085). These were attached over the co-ordinating stamped butterflies using Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I added glitter to each butterfly using the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897). I cut the butterflies level with the edge of the cardfront then attached this to the Basic Black (#121688) base card.
“Happy Birthday” from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (#151331) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and punched with the Classic Label punch (#141491). I attached this with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).


Have a great day!!

Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper

Welcome,

How often do have bits and pieces of Designer paper left from a project. Well, here is an easy card using some “scraps” from the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper (#154558).





The base card and card front are Basic White (#159228). I dry embossed the cardfront with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder (#152725). The DSP was matted with Mossy Meadow card (#133683) and attached to the card front.
The dragonfly and the small dragonflies on the sentiment from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set (#154411) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The dragonfly was punched with the Dragonflies Punch (#154240). I coloured the wings with Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends (#154884) and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends (#154893) and added glitter with the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897).
The sentiment from Many Mates stamp set (#152633) was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111). The circles were cut with the Layering Circles Dies (#151770). Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to attach the dragonfly and sentiment to the card.

I am sure you will find plenty of DSP scraps to make a beautiful card.

Have a great day.
