By The Bay

Hello again my friends,

If you love the beach you will love the By The Bay suite (#160450). Included in the suite is the Seaside Bay Bundle (#160445), Balmy Blue & White variegated Ribbon (#160448), Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls (#160448) and By The Bay Specialty Designer Series Paper (#160434). I have used the bundle and DSP for this card.

The birds from the Seaside Bay stamp set (#160436) were stamped with Night Of Navy ink (#147110). I used Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend (#154882) to add some extra colour to the bird, then I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897). This blended the Night Of Navy ink and the Crumb Cake but I liked the results.

The shells & sand were stamped with Crumb Cake ink (#147116) onto the By The Bay DSP. The sentiment, also from the same stamp set was stamped with Night Of Navy ink and cut with a Something Fancy Die (#160424).

The birds and the shells from the Crumb Cake card (#121685) were cut with the Seaside Bay Dies (#160444). The birds and sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The shells were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I also added the Clear Wink Of Stella to the die cut shells and the stamped shells.

The DSP was matted with Night Of Navy card (#106577) then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

Dainty Flowers & Dainty Delight

Welcome,

The Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper #160834) is a Sale-a-bration product and co-ordinates with the Dainty Delight Bundle (#160675).

I attached the DSP to the Very Vanilla card (#106550), then I dry embossed it with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317). The corners of this and the Rich Razzleberry card (#119981) were punched with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878), then attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

The Mossy Meadow card (#133683) was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting with a die from the Dainty Delight Dies (#160674), then attached to the card.

Using Rich Razzleberry card (#119981) & Daffodil Delight card (#121680) I cut 3 flowers from each colour with another Dainty Delight die. I attached the 2 coloured flowers together with Mini Glue Dots (#103683), off setting the petals, then the flowers were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment is from the Eden’s Garden stamp set (#157823) and stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink (#147091). This was cut with a die from the Fabulous Frames dies (#159163). Then I cut the Rich Razzleberry frame with the same die. These were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The  Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls are now retired and were added to the sentiment & flower centres.

Decorative Borders

Hi stamping friends,

The Decorative Borders stamp set (#160513) has a lovely variety of images and are great for colouring or just stamping.

I stamped the image on the 2 corners of the Basic White card (#159228) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends to colour the images are Polished Pink (#155520), Highland Heather (#154887), Granny Apple Green (#154885) and Daffodil Delight (#154883).

The corners of this card and the Polished Pink card (#155711) were punched with my favourite punch - Very Best Trio Punch (#159878). The Basic White card was dry embossed with the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder (#158655). I attached the Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon (#155714) to the card.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Shaded Summer stamp set (#155783) and stamped with Polished Pink ink (#155712). The sentiment & the Polished Pink card under the sentiment were cut with Something Fancy Dies (#160424). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Sentimental Park

Hello everyone,

The bundle I have used today is the Sentimental Park Bundle (#160567), which includes the Sentimental Park stamp set (#160561) and the Sentimental Park dies (#160566).

The Designer Series Paper is from Sale-a-bration and is the Dandy Designs 12”x12” DSP (#160836). This is free with a $180 order in Australia. It consists of 48 sheets with 4 each of 12 double sided designs, so great value.

I wrapped the Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon (#155615) around the DSP then I attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The group of small flowers were stamped with Fresh Freesia Ink (#155611). This is a Two-Step stamp, so I stamped the outline of the flowers as normal, then with the second stamp I inked it with the same ink, stamped off onto scrap paper then stamped on top of the outlined flowers. This gives the 2 tones of ink. The sentiment was also stamped with Fresh Freesia ink. The flowers and the labels were all cut with the Sentimental park dies. The gold card is from the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack (#160428). The gold label with the flowers is cut so you can slip the label with the sentiment under the flowers .

The sentiment, stamped flowers & the larger die cut flower at the top right were all attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The smaller flowers were all attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The Fresh Freesia card (#155614) was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting the flower which I put on top of the gold flower.

Nested Friends

Hi stamping friends,

These cute little birds are from the Nested Friends stamp set (#160322) which are part of the Nested Friends Bundle (#160489).

I stamped the birds with Balmy Blue ink (#147105), Fresh Freesia ink (#155611) and Pale Papaya ink (#155670). They were then coloured with co-ordinating Stampin’ Blends - Balmy Blue (#154830), Fresh Freesia (#155518) & Pale Papaya (#155519). The branch from the same stamp set was stamped with Granny Apple Gree ink (#147095) and the leaves coloured with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885).

The birds, branch & small leaves from Granny Apple Green card (#147014) were all cut with the Nested Friends dies (#160488).

I punched the corners of the Granny Apple Green card and the Vellum Basics 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#160839) with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878), then attached these to the Basic White base card (#159228). 

The small leaves had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back for ease of attaching these to the card. The branch was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the birds with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Thank You” is from the Nested Friends stamp set and stamped with Granny Apple Green ink. A Tailor Made Tags Die (#155563) was used to cut the sentiment, then attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was threaded through the tag.

TIP: When attaching the vellum to the card, only use adhesive where it will be hidden as it will show through. I find the easiest way is to attach all the elements to the vellum first, then you can see on the back of the vellum where to add the adhesive. I then attached adhesive under the small leaves, the branch, birds & sentiment.
