Textured Notes Bundle

Hi friends,

The Textured Notes Bundle (#165556) consists of the Textured Notes stamp set (#165548) and the Textured Notes dies (#165555). The set of 8 dies are all rectangular with a lovely design around the outside so these will be versatile for a range of cards and projects.

I cut 4 cms from the front right side of the Basic White base card (#159228).The 2 pieces of DSP are from the Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164037). I matted the White & Gold DSP with Pretty Peacock card (#150886) and attached it to the card front. The other piece of DSP was attached to the “inside” of the card. I also added 2 pieces of Basic White card as shown below.

I stamped the leaves from the Textured Notes stamp set with Lost Lagoon ink (#161678). This card and the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) were cut with the dies.

“With Sympathy” from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) and this was also cut with one of the dies. There isn't a die this size so I cut the sentiment then repositioned the die to recut it smaller. Very easy to get just the right size.

The stamped image was taped to the gold foil sheet, then this was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Regal Foiled Adhesive Backed Dots (#164038) were added to the card front.

Mixed Florals

Hi friends,

This floral image is from the Mixed Florals stamp set (#164639). It was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228).

The stamped image was coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Summer Splash (#163826), Shy Shamrock (#163825) and Daffodil Delight (#154883). I cut this with an Everyday Arches Die (#164629). Using the same die I cut a piece of Flirty Flamingo card (#141421) and attached it to the bottom of the stamped image. The Summer Splash Bordered Ribbon (#163786) was wrapped around the arches.

The 2024-2026 In-Color Designer Series Paper (#163777) was attached to the Basic White card base. The arches were attached on top.

“Best Wishes” is from the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (#164862). This pack has a great range of sentiments for all occasions with Black on White sentiments as well as White on Black sentiments. All the sentiments are laser cut so you just need to release them from the card and it is ready to attach to your project.

The Iridescent Faceted Gems (#163368) were added to the card.

Natural Botanicals stamp set

Hello everyone,

The Natural Botanicals stamp set (#164831) is a reversible set which means you can stamp using both sides of the stamp. This set is available in the current mini catalogue and till the end of February is a free product with Sale-a-bration (with a $100 order in Australia).

I stamped the 2 background images with the reverse side of one of the stamps, then stamped the leaves & flowers as normal.

The inks used are Soft Sea Foam (#147102), Crumb Cake (#147116), Mossy Meadow (#147111), Wild Wheat (#161651), Lost Lagoon (#161678) and Moody Mauve (#161649). After stamping, I dry embossed the card front with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406), then matted it with Mossy Meadow card (#133683). The flower was fussy cut and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The DSP is from the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper (#165560). This pack features a variety of woven materials & designs in different natural hues. These will be great for both cards & scrapbooking.

“Best Wishes” from Layering Leaves stamp set (#161277) was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink and cut with an Around It All die (#164725). This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Around It All dies

Hello friends,

The Around It All dies (#164725) includes 12 irregular circles in a variety of sizes. I have used 3 of them on this card.

I stamped the text image from the Elements Of Text stamp set (#164774) with Crumb Cake ink (#147116). The sentiment from So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink (#147086). The sentiment, stamped text and the Pumpkin Pie card (#108601) were all cut with the dies.

I stamped the splotches, also from the Elements Of Text stamp set, using Peach Pie ink (#163810) onto the Basic White card front (#159228). I cut a piece of the 2024-2026 In Colour Designer Series Paper (#163777) with the Take A Bow die (#164102) and attached it to the card front. The card front was matted with Pumpkin Pie card.

The Pumpkin Pie circle and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The butterflies are from the Paper Butterfly Accents (#162612) and coloured with Pumpkin Pie ink & Peach pie ink using Sponge Daubers (#133773). The smaller butterfly was attached to the larger butterfly with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the larger butterfly was attached to the card also with Mini Glue Dots. I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on both butterflies.

The embellishments used are the Antique Pearls (#164679).

Serene Love Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

The beautiful Serene Love Designer Series Paper (#166261) has been used on this card. It is now in the Last Chance products at a discounted price, so is great value but only available while stocks last.

I attached the DSP to the Basic White base card (#159228). The flowers were fussy cut.

“Happy Birthday” from the Adventurous Sky stamp set (#163439) was stamped with Night Of Navy ink (#147110) and cut with an Adventurous Sky die (#163446).

The Silver Foil Sheet (#163387) was dry embossed with the Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder (#165559). This folder will be available from early March from the Online Exclusives.

I offset the Night Of Navy card (#106577) behind the silver foil and attached it to the card front. The flowers & sentiment were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems (#163780) were added to the card and as usual I added the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) for some glimmer to the flowers.
