Enchanted Butterfly stamp set

Hello lovely friends,

I am using the gorgeous All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162178) again today along with the Enchanted Butterfly stamp set (#161279).

I matted the DSP with Pretty Peacock card (#150886) and attached it to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550). I cut another piece of Pretty Peacock card and Very Vanilla card with a Deckled Rectangles die #159173). I used one of the Brilliant Backgrounds dies (#161591) on the Pretty Peacock card. I then attached this to the Very Vanilla card so you can see the Very Vanilla through the holes. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I stamped the flower & leaves from the Enchanted Butterfly stamp set. I used Moody Mauve ink (#161649) for the flower and Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) for the leaves and I stamped off to get a lighter colour. The flower & leaves were fussy cut. The leaves were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) & Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) for the flower.

The sentiment is from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) and stamped with Pretty Peacock ink. A Stylish Shapes die (#159183) was used to cut this. Stampin’ Dimensioanls were also used to attach the sentiment. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add some glitter to the flower.

All About Autumn Designer Series Paper

Hello crafty friends,

The new Mini catalogue is now available to purchase from, and will be available till 3rd January 2024. One of the gorgeous Designer Papers is the All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162178). This paper is so much more beautiful in real life. One side of the designs includes copper foil to give that beautiful sparkle.

I taped the DSP to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550). The autumn leaves from the DSP was matted with Rose Gold Specialty Paper (#159139) and this was attached to the card.

“Happy Birthday” was cut with the Wanted To Say dies (#161594). For the base I used the Rose Gold Specialty Paper and for the top words I used Very Vanilla card which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). This adhesive sheet makes it so easy to attach finer die cuts. The sentiment was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I added the embellishments from the Blooming Pearls (#162238).

Inked & Tiled

Hello friends,

A quick & easy card today using the Inked & Tiled stamp set (#161158).

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the floral image making it easy to stamp the 2 colours. I covered the flowers with post it notes before inking the stem & leaves with the Lost Lagoon ink (#161678). Then I removed the post it notes before stamping the image. I then covered the stem with a post it note and inked the flowers with Coral Calypso ink (#147101) then stamped the flowers.

I taped the Inked Botanicals 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#161157) to the Very Vanilla card front (#106550) and daubered the edges with Calypso Coral ink. The Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon (#161171) was wrapped around the card front.

Just a Note is from the Inked & Tiled stamp set and I used Calypso Coral ink. This was cut with a (retired) Beautiful Shapes die. Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the sentiment to the card. The Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) were added to the card.

As I said, a quick & easy card.
