Magnolia Mood

Hi again everyone,

Another of the Last Chance Products is the Magnolia Mood Bundle (#163507) which consists of the Magnolia Mood stamp set (#163502) and Magnolia Mood dies (#163506).

I stamped the floral image with Gray Granite ink (#147118) onto Basic White card (#159228). I coloured this with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675), Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885) and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883). I cut this image and the leaves with the co-ordinating dies. I used Granny Apple Green card (#147014) backed with Adhesive sheet (#152334) for the leaves.

I cut the Berry Burst glimmer paper tag from the Berry Burst, Old Olive & White Glimmer Specialty Paper (#163769) using a Greetings Of The Season die (#164112).

I dry embossed the Bubble Bath card (#161727) with one of the Basics Embossing Folders (#161598) then matted this with the Berry Burst glimmer paper.

The sentiment from the Regal Flora stamp set (#164157) was stamped with Berry Burst ink (#147143) and cut with a Changing Leaves die (#164138).

I taped the tag to the card front. The flowers and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The detailed leaves were attached to the card. The Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) added glimmer to the flowers.

The Last Chance Products used on this card are the Magnolia Mood Bundle, stamp set & dies, the Basics Embossing folders and the Regals Flora stamp set.

Trucking Along

Hi everyone,

With the new Mini catalogue being released early January, the current Mini catalogue will be retiring along with many products. Also there are a number of Online Exclusive products retiring to make room for more new and exciting products. So over the next few weeks I will try to highlight some of the retiring products.

The Trucking Along stamp set (#162299) and the Trucking Along Builder Punch (#162305) are retiring. I stamped the outline of the trucks with Misty Moonlight ink (#153118) and Night Of Navy ink (#147110). For the coloured part of the trucks I used the Stamping Off method with the same inks to get the lighter colour. The trucks were then punched with the punch. The tyres were coloured with Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends (#154904). The presents were stamped with Misty Moonlight ink and coloured with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) and Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends (#154830). These were fussy cut.

Three designs of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (163393) have been used on this card. This is not retiring. I matted the lighter piece with Basic Black card (#121688). They were attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

“Happy Birthday” from the retiring Garden Meadow stamp set (#162736), was stamped with Misty Moonlight ink and cut with a Happy Little Things die (#163709) - also retiring.

The sentiment & trucks were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the presents. The Festive Pearls embellishments are already retired.

Nests Of Winter Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

I have fussy cut these cute little birds from the Nests Of Winter Designer Series Paper (#164183).

The background is from the same DSP pack and matted with Garden Green card (#108605). This was taped to the Basic White base card (#159228).

“Birthday Wishes” from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756) was stamped with Garden Green ink (#147089).

Using a die from the Regal Flora dies (#164033), I cut the sentiment and the Garden Green card which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). I used the “frame” from the green card and attached it to the card front. The sentiment was taped to the card.

The birds were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are from the Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Adhesive Backed Dots (#164204).

There are other birds in this DSP which can be cut with the co-ordinating Winterly Tree Tops dies (#164065).
