Umbrella Days Bundle

Hello & welcome again,

A cute little girls card using the Umbrella Days Bundle (#164895) along with the Toadstool Garden 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164942). This pretty DSP is a Sale-a-bration product (free with a $100 order in Australia). Sale-a-bration continues till 28th February.

The DSP was matted with Melon Mambo card (#119980) and attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

I stamped the image with the umbrella from the Umbrella Days stamp set (#164891) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). This was coloured with Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends (#163827), Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885) and 1000 (for the hands) from the Light Combo Pack Stampin’ Blends (#159465). This image was cut with the Umbrella Days dies (#164894). I cut the pieces for the umbrella with another die from Melon Mambo card (#119980) and Bubble Bath card (#161727). These cards were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), making them easy to attach to the umbrella.

I stamped the raindrops from the same stamp set using Balmy Blue ink (#147105). I used the stamping off method to get a lighter colour. I used a die from Meant To Bee (#166582) to cut the hexagonals. The hexagonal “frame” is Melon Mambo card. These were taped to the card front.

“Birthday Wishes” from Simply Said stamp set (#163756) was stamped with Melon Mambo ink and cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). The sentiment and stamped umbrella image were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs (#161954).

Happy Hibiscus

Hi friends,

The Happy Hibiscus Bundle (#164880) consists of the Happy Hibiscus stamp set (#164877) and the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder (#164879). All the Stampin’ Up! hybrid folders includes the embossing folder as well as the dies. One of the dies fits into the embossing folder allowing you to cut and embossing at the same time.

Firstly, using one of the Linked Together Decorative Masks (#164809), I blended the Summer Splash ink (#163809) using a Blending Brush (#153611) onto the Basic White card (#159228). Using another mask and using a Palette Knife (#142808) I applied Shimmery White Embossing Paste (#145645) on top. This needs to be set aside till it dries. If this is done first, it should be dry by the time you do all the other elements.

I stamped the image with the 3 flowers onto Real Red card (#106578) using Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083). I then placed the die into the embossing folder and line up the stamped image and cut & embossed it. The 3 flowers are cut into individual flowers. I have only used the 2 larger ones on this card. The leaves are cut with dies from the same dies using Summer Splash card (#163798).

I stamped the label with a stamp from the Bright Borders stamp set (#164753) using Summer Splash ink. “Happy Birthday” from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). This was then punched with the co-ordinating To The Point Label Punch (#164568).

Once the card front had dried, I matted it with the Summer Splash card and then Real Red card and attached it to the Basic White base card.

The flowers and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) for the leaves. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) added glimmer to the flowers.

Hello friends,

The Pastel Ombre Glimmer 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#164851) has been used for the flowers & leaves on today’s card. I love the ombre effect on the colours on each sheet.

In this set, one die can be located into the embossing folder to cut & emboss 3 flowers at one time. The leaves were cut with other dies in the same set.

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the Plaster Painting Embossing Folder (#164656), then matted it with Gorgeous Grape card (#147011). This was attached to the Basic White base card.

“Best Wishes” from Layering Leaves stamp set (#161277) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and punched with the To The Point Label Punch (#164568).

The sentiment and flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins (#164970) from Sale-a-bration were attached to finish the card.

The gorgeous Wildflower Birthday 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164591) has a range of designs and also includes tags and die cut pieces ready to attach to your project. Here are some tags I made just adding a sentiment and some die cut pieces.

I used sentiments from Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378), Beautiful Butterflies stamp set (#164608) & Sentimental Park stamp set (#160561). I punched a hole in the top of the tags and added the Gold trim from the Gold & Silver Trim Combo pack (#161633). The sentiments were cut with dies from the Happy Little Things dies (#163709) and the Cheerful Daisies dies (#161296). The sentiments were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Alternately these tags can be added to a card, as shown below.

I have used the Designer Series Paper on 3 of the cards and have dry embossed 3 of the card fronts with the Modern Herringbone Embossing Folder (#164908), the Eyelet Embossing Folder (#163414) and the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder (#164049).

The tags were attached to the cards with Stampin’ Dimensionals(#104430)
