Scrapbook pages

Hi friends,

Yesterday I celebrated my 70th Birthday, so here is a double scrapbook layout with some of my lovely card ladies. I have used 3 laser cut elements from the Wildflower Celebrations Scrapbooking Workshop Kit (#166623).

All the photos were matted with Blueberry Bushel card (#146991). The background pages are from the Everyday Happiness 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#166632).

The photos, balloons, flowers and cupcake were taped to the pages.

“70” is cut with dies from the Birthday Celebration dies (#164598). “Happy Birthday” was cut with the Alphabet A La Mode dies (#160750). These Alphabet A La Mode dies are currently part of Sale-a-bration and free with a $100 order (in Australia), which is fantastic value. For the numbers & letters I used Blueberry Bushel card backed with Adhesive Sheets (#152334). I glued the embellishments from the Itty Bitty Bokeh Mix (#164618) to the pages with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

My scrapbook pages are all about the photos with a small amount of embellishments.

Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card Pack

Hi friends,

The Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card Pack (#164657) are great for a quick & easy card, like this one, or for Scrapbooking. The 2 designer papers on this card are from this pack.

I matted the smaller card with Basic Black card (#121688), then I partly matted this with Flirty Flamingo card (#141421). I attached this to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) was stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052) and cut with a Wild Ferns die (#162654). This was taped to the card.

The embellishments are from the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots (#162758).

How easy is that!! There are a variety of the memories & more packs so why not make some cards ahead of time with the beautiful designs available.

Floral & Gingham Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

The Floral & Gingham Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164713) co-ordinates beautifully with the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper (#164700).

The floral piece from the Floral Delight DSP was taped to the Gingham Vellum.

“Happy Birthday” from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) was stamped with Crushed Curry ink (#147087) and this was cut with a Birthday Celebration die (#164598). I taped this to the vellum.

The leaves from the Memorable Blooms stamp set (#164816) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). These were coloured with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends (#154892) and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883). A Memorable Blooms die (#164825) cut the leaves.

The small flowers were cut from Daffodil Delight card (#121680) using Happy Hibiscus dies (#164879).

When I use vellum, I like to add all the elements first before attaching the vellum to the card. Then I only use the adhesive under the pieces added to the vellum so it isn't visible through the vellum. The sentiment was taped and I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the leaves & small die cut flowers. The vellum was attached to a piece of Basic White card, then matted with Daffodil Delight card.

I added glimmer to the flowers & leaves with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) and the embellishments are Antique Pearls (#164679).

Corner In Bloom

Hi everyone,

The Corner In Bloom stamp set (#164959) is a sale-a-bration product (free with a $200 order in Australia) and this floral image is from this set.

This was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). The Stampin’ Blends to colour this are Shy Shamrock (#163825), Blackberry Bliss (#154877), Highland Heather (#154887), Fresh Freesia (#155518) and Bubble Bath (#161675). This was then fussy cut.

“Happy Birthday” is from With You In Mind stamp set (#164747). This was stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092).

I now have a sneak peek of a new set of dies (available early March). These are the Textured Notes dies (#165555) which I used to cut the sentiment, the Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper (#164607) and the Highland Heather card (#147010). I can see these will be very versatile dies for both cardmaking and scrapbooking.

The Highland Heather card was taped to the Basic White base card and the DSP was attached on top.

I attached the sentiment and the flowers to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Embellishments are the Two-Tone Sparkle Gems (#164633).

Thoughtful Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello again stamping friends,

I cut squares from the Thoughtful Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper (#163317) and attached them to the Basic White card front (#159228). This beautiful Pearlised paper has an Ombre effect on each sheet, with a soft graduation of colours.

The card front was then matted with Flirty Flamingo card (#141421) and attached to the Basic White base card.

I cut the leafy image using a Thoughtful Wishes die (#163313) with the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). I cut this in half and attached the 2 pieces to the card, allowing you to see more of the leaves.

The flowers from the Inspirational Sketches stamp set (#162684) was stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052). The 2 circles were cut with the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580). These were taped together, then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used on the stamped image and the embellishments are from the Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems (#161288).

At this stage I haven't added a sentiment but will add it when I decide what I need the card for.
