Flowing Flowers stamp set

Hello my crafty friends,

These flowers are from the Flowing Flowers Stamp Set (#157880) and I have used the Masking Technique when stamping the flowers.

I stamped the flower on the right with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052). I made a mask by stamping this flower on a post-it note and cut out the flower then this was placed on top of the stamped image on the Basic White card (#159228). Then I stamped the second flower with Fresh Freesia ink (#155611) overlapping the images.

I dry embossed the stamped card front with the Tasteful Textures 3D embossing Folder (#152718) and attached it to a triangle of the Flirty Flaming card (#141421). The base card is Basic White.

“Thank You” is also from the Flowing Flowers stamp set and stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink. This was cut with a die from the Sweet Hearts Dies (#157623). I threaded the Silver Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) through the tag. The row of hearts were also cut with the Sweet Hearts Dies. I used Flirty Flamingo card which was backed with Adhesive Sheets (#152334). One of the hearts from the middle of the row of hearts was attached to the tag. The tag was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Daffodil Dies

Hello my friends,

These daffodils were made using the Daffodil Dies (#157794). There are 24 dies in this set which may seem a bit daunting when you first see them but there are 2 of each of some of the dies and then there are 2 layers for many of the dies. There are also stems, leaves and small butterflies, so a great variety of dies.

The dies shown have the base of the petals/flowers above the co-ordinating detailed dies, so you can see which ones match. 

I cut the solid pieces of the flowers & petals from Daffodil Delight card (#121680) and the top layer from Crushed Curry card (#131288) which had been backed with Adhesive Sheets (#152334) before cutting with the dies. I assembled the flowers with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I cut the leaves and stems using Mossy Meadow card (#133683) also using the Daffodil Dies. These also had Adhesive Sheets adhered to the back.

I stamped the “splatters” from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set (#157786) onto a piece of the Abstract Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper (#158039) using Mint Macaron ink (#147106). I matted the DSP with Crushed Curry card and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228).

“Hugs” was cut with the Layering Hugs Dies (#144860) from Crushed Curry card. The tag was cut with one of the Tailor Made Tags Dies (#155563) from Daffodil Delight card. I threaded the Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) through the tag then this was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. 

I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) on the detailed die cuts of the flowers. The cute little Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) were added to the card.

TIP: Adhesive sheets adhered to the back of the card before cutting with detailed dies makes it so easy to attach the detailed cutouts to the card.

Daffodil Daydream Bundle

Hi everyone,

The Daffodil Daydream Bundle (#157795) consists of the Daffodil Daydream stamp set (#157786) and the Daffodil Dies (#157794).

I stamped the 2 daffodil images with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). The flowers were coloured with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) and the leaves with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends (#154892). I added glimmer to the flowers with the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897). These were cut with the co-ordinating dies. 

The Designer Series Paper is Abstract Beauty Specialty (#158039) and matted with the Basic Black card (#121688). This was attached to the Basic White base card. 

“Congratulations” is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595). I stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) and used the Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) and set it with Heat Tool (#129056). I used a die from the Potted Succulents (#154330) to cut the sentiment. 

The sentiment, the daffodils on the left and the butterfly were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The butterfly was cut with a die from the Daffodil Dies using the (retired) Black Glitter Paper. The Classic Matt Dots (#158146) were attached to the card.

Butterflies & Flowers Layering Masks

Hello & welcome,

I have used the background mask from the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Masks (#158142) using Blending Brushes (#153611) to achieve the “rainbow” effect. I think these are one of my favourite products from the mini catalogue, but I will probably say that about a lot of the products!! So many great ones.

The inks I used with the mask are Mint Macaron (#147106), So Saffron (#147109), Pool Party (#147107), Fresh Freesia (#155611) and Misty Moonlight (#153118). The Denim Ribbon (#149590) was wrapped around the card front, then the card front was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The bird and flowers from the Friendly Hello stamp set (#159990) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). This stamp set is a Sale-a-bration product. The bird was coloured with Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894), the flowers with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883), the leaves with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885), Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends (#154958) for the flower centres and the branch with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#154882). I cut this with a die from the Layering Circles Dies (#151770). I attached the circle to the Heart & Home Doilies (#157956) with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment, also from the Friendly Hello stamp set, was stamped with Misty Moonlight ink (#153118), then cut with a Sweet Hearts Die (#157623). Stampin’ Dimensionals were also used to attach this to the card. Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) was my choice of embellishments.

TIP: When using Blending Brushes you can achieve various depths of colours depending on how dark or light the ink is, and also how hard you press when using the brushes. I find it best to start light and slowly add extra colour till you get the desired results. Also after inking the brush, wipe some excess off onto a piece of scrap paper so you don’t have an unwanted dark area which can’t be fixed.

I stamped the flowers with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto the Petal Pink DSP. I cut the other piece of DSP with the bird and the Basic Black card (#121688) with the Stitched So sweetly Dies (#151690). These were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The base card is Basic White (#159228).

The sentiment is from the Friendly Hello stamp set and stamped with Petal Pink ink (#147108) and cut with an Ornate Frames Die (#159664). The edges of the sentiment were daubered with Petal Pink ink and then I added the Clear diamond shapes from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials (#155567) to finish the card.

Another easy card so great when you don’t have a lot of time.

Sentimental Swirls

Hello everyone,

The Sentimental Swirls stamp set (#157996) has this beautiful swirl with a variety of smaller images of flowers, birds butterflies, leaves as well as some popular sentiments. The Flowers & Leaves punch (#155373) and the Strawberry Builder punch (#154239) from the annual catalogue also co-ordinates with some of the images. 

I stamped the swirl with VersaMark (#102283) onto Basic White card (#159228). Then I added the Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I stamped the bird with Pale Papaya ink (#155670). Then I dry embossed the card front with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (#156505). Unfortunately this folder hasn’t carried over to the current catalogue so now retired.

The white card front was then matted with Polished Pink card (#155711). I wrapped the White Glittered Organdy Ribbon (also now retired) around the card. The sentiment & one flower were stamped with Polished Pink ink (#155712) and the other flower with Highland Heather ink (#147103). The flowers were punched with the Flowers & Leaves punch. I used a Beautiful Shapes Die (#158046) to cut the sentiment. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#158130) were added to the flowers & sentiment.

TIP: Always stamp your image first if you are also dry embossing to give you the best image. The image won’t stamp properly if the surface isn’t smooth.

Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks

Hi my friends,

Todays card is very easy, using the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks (#158142).

I applied the Pale Papaya ink (#155670) with a Blending Brush (#153611) and using the flower mask with the less detail. Then using the other co-ordinating layer I applied the Pumpkin Pie ink (#147086). There is another mask with the leaves which I coloured with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). I then used the Stitched Greenery die (#155451) to achieve the stitching on the Basic White card front (#159228).

The sentiment is from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set (#158203) and stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink. I used the Messages Die (#154422) to cut this. The sentiment was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The edges of the card front was daubered with Pumpkin Pie ink, then attached to the Basic White base card.

As I said, a very easy card.
