Iconic Celebrations Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

It is always easy to make an easy card using Designer Papers. This DSP is from the Iconic Celebrations 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164193) which is one of the new Online Exclusives products. There is a great range of designs for all occasions and I thought these 2 designs were perfect for an Anniversay card.

The 4 Designer Paper rectangles were cut 4cm x 6.2cm and attached to the Moody Mauve card (#161732), then this was matted with Cherry Cobbler card (#121681). I talked in the last blog about colour combinations. Today I chose the colours which were in this DSP. I probably wouldn’t have thought about putting these 2 colours together, but they work well together. The Base Card is Basic White (#159228).

The sentiment is from the Layers Of Beauty stamp set (#163514) and I stamped this with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083). The sentiment and Cherry Cobbler card underneath were cut with Stylish Shapes dies (#159183). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The hearts were cut with a die from the Wanted To Say dies (#161594) and I used the Gold from the Silver & Gold Adhesive Backed Glimmer Paper (#162288). The embellishment is from the Tinsel Gems Four-Pack (#161623).

Flowers Of Beauty Dies

Hi everyone,

If you are unsure what colours work together, you can check out the Color Theory information on pages 132 & 133 in the Annual Catalogue. For this card I have chosen Monochromatic colours, which are colours next to each other. The colours I used are Shaded Spruce and Shy Shamrock.

The leaves were cut with Flowers Of Beauty dies (#163375), using Shaded Spruce card (#147006) and Shy Shamrock card (#163796). I andhered Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to the back of the cardstock before cutting with the dies.

The Basic White base card (#159228) was dry embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder (#163791) and matted with the Shaded Spruce card. I wrapped the Shy Shamrock Bordered Ribbon (#163787) around the card front. This was then attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) was stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088). I used the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch (#162888) to cut the sentiment and the Shaded Spruce card under the sentiment. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The dragonflies from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds (#162743) were added to the card.

This bundle includes the Changing Leaves stamp set (#164351) and the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder (#164138). This hybrid embossing folder includes the folder as well as the dies. The folder can be used alone or add the dies by snapping the die into the folder and when this is run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with card, you have cut & embossed leaves.

I have just used the embossing folder to dry emboss the Soft Sea Foam card front (#147012). I stamped the leaves using Old Olive ink (#147090) on Old Olive card (#106576), and Crushed Curry ink (#147087) on Crushed Curry card (#131288). These leaves and the detailed leaves are all cut with the dies. The card stock for these leaves are Cherry Cobbler (#121681), Mossy Meadow (#133683) and Pecan Pie (#161726). I had backed these cards with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting with the dies.

I attached all the detailed die cut leaves to the card front and the stamped leaves were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The sentiment is from the Changing Leaves stamp set and I used Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083), then used a Changing Leaves die to cut it. The embellishments are the retired Adhesive-Backed Cork Dies.
