Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper

Hello and welcome,

Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper (#155696) is one of the designer papers on special this month. The potted plants on this card were fussy cut from this DSP.

I used the Stacked Stone background stamp (#152556) to stamp the Very Vanilla card front (#106550) with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder from the Metallics pack (#155555), then set with the Heat Tool ($129056). This was attached to the Evening Evergreen card (#155575). The base card is also Very Vanilla. I taped one pot plant to the card and the other was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Thanks” is from the Ornate Thanks stamp set (#149471) and also gold embossed. A die from the Ornate Frames (#150664) was used to cut the sentiment. The Gold trim is from the Simply Elegant Trim (#155766). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897) to add some glimmer to the leaves.

Sea Life Dies

Hi again,

Here is a bright, glittery and easy card using the Ombre Specialty Paper (#155784), which has 4 colours of glitter paper - Mango Melody, Night Of Navy, Poppy Parade (which I have used) and Gorgeous Grape (not used on this card).

I used the dies from the Sea Life Dies (#155684) to cut the seahorse, fish and seaweed. The seahorse is designed to have partial pop-up pieces as I have done here. However you can hand cut the small pieces where it is still attached to allow you to have it as a separate piece. The seaweed was attached using Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the fish.

The sentiment is from the Blossoms In Bloom stamp set (#158283) and stamped with Poppy Parade ink (#147050). This was cut with a Hippo & Friends die (#153585) and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The base card is Basic White (#159229). As I said, a very easy card.

Forever Grapevine Bundle

Hello,

I have used the Forever Grapevine Bundle (#155618) as well as 2 retired stamp sets for the wine glass and bottle, as I thought they all worked great together.

I stamped the grapevine from the Forever Grapevine stamp set (#155626) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I coloured the leaves with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#147095), the grapes with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends (#155611) and the vine with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#147116). The leaves were cut from Granny Apple Green card (#147014) using a die from the Grapevine Dies (#155620) and attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I stamped the wine bottle (from the retired Half Full stamp set) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, then coloured it with Light Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blends (also now retired). The top of the bottle was coloured with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. The bottle was fussy cut. The wine glass from Sip Sip Hooray stamp set (also retired) and the sentiment from Forever Grapevine stamp set were stamped with Fresh Freesia ink (#155611). The wine glass was cut with a die from the retired Sip & Celebrate Dies. “Thank You” was cut with a die from the Grapevine dies. The wine glass and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

The Basic White card front (#159228) was attached to the Granny Apple Green card, then this was attached to the Basic White base card. I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the wine glass and grapes.

Basic Borders Dies

Hi my friends,

I am loving this detailed floral die from the Artistic dies (#155371).

I stamped “Happy Birthday” from the Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) with Polished Pink ink (#155712) at the base of the card front. I cut the Basic White card front  (#159228) with a Basic Borders Die (#155558), then attached this to the Polished Pink card (#155711)

Using the Blending Brushes (#153611), I coloured a piece of Basic White card using Polished Pink ink (#155712), Fresh Freesia ink (#155611), Pale Papaya ink (#155670) and Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). This was then cut with the Artistic die. I had attached a piece of Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to the back of the card before cutting for ease of attaching the detailed cut out to the card.

I added the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the detailed cut out but as usual doesn’t show on the photo. The Pastel Pearls (#154571) were added to finish the card.

Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder

Hello everyone,

I was trying to have a clean up of my craft table and came across a piece card which I had embossed with the Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder (#155989) and hadn’t used it.  An idea came to mind and this is the card as a result. Very simple but I was happy with the results. The table still isn’t cleaned!! How often does this happen to you?

The cardstock is all Very Vanilla (#106550). I cut the scalloped piece with a die from the Scalloped Contours dies (#155560), then I cut the embossed card to fit inside the scalloped piece.

I lightly daubered the flowers with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052) and the leaves with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) and the edges were daubered with Flirty Flamingo ink. This was attached to the scalloped piece, then to the base card.

“With Sympathy” is from Vine Design stamp set which is now retired, and cut with the Messages Die (#154422). I find this die is great for cutting a variety of sentiments, not just the ones that co-ordinate with the die. The sentiment was then attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

From today till 2nd August there is a special on some of the designer series papers. Take advantage of the savings by stocking up now.

Here are the papers on special-

155841 Beauty of the Earth $17

155696 Bloom Where You’re Planted $17
