Berry Blessings Bundle from Sale-a-bration

Hello & Welcome,

We all love free products and Sale-a-bration is a great way to get free products (with a qualifying order.) Sale-a-bration continues till the end of February. The Berry Blessings stamp set and Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper (#157613) are free with a $180 order (in Australia). I have used these on this card.

I attached the bottom layer of DSP to the Pacific Point card (#116202).  I cut the Red & White DSP and the Pacific Point card with a die from the Curvy Dies (#154319). These were attached to the card front, then the cardfront was attached to the Basic White card (#159228).

The outline for the leaves from the Berry Blessings stamp set were stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). Then I stamped the “inside” colour also with Granny Apple Green ink but “stamped off” before stamping on the leaves, to give a lighter colour. The leaves were then fussy cut and attached to the card.

“Happy Birthday” from the Many Mates stamp set (#152633) was stamped with Pacific Point ink (#147098) and cut with a Potted Succulents Die (#154330), then attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Have a great day!!

Simply Succulents Bundle

Welcome,

The weekend is here again and almost the end of January. Where has this month gone?

I have used the beautiful Simply Succulents Bundle (#156264) here today.

I have used Basic White Card (#159228) for the base card, card front and to stamp the succulents and sentiment on. I stamped the succulents from Simply Succulents stamp set (#154480) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I coloured these with Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894) and Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends (#154884). The Potted Succulent dies (#154330) were used to cut the detailed cardfront, the succulents, the sentiment and the label under the sentiment.

The sentiment is from the Simply Succulents stamp set and I stamped this with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052).

The coloured cardstock used is Flirty Flamingo (#141421) and Pool Party (#124391). I adhered Adhesive Sheets (#152334) to the back of the Flirty Flamingo card before cutting the detailed succulents. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the coloured succulents and the Pool Party label. 

I coloured the Pearl Basic Jewels (#144219) using the Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends.

Enjoy your weekend!!

A Touch Of Ink

Hi again everyone,

I often see simple stamping cards but I find it difficult to just stamp. So today I just stamped the first card, then stepped it up just a bit with colouring, embellishments, ribbon and dies.

I stamped the flourish from the Beauty Abounds Stamp set (#148726) using Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). The hummingbird from A Touch Of Ink stamp set (#155233) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). This stamp set is from Sale-a-bration with a $180 order. “Best Wishes” is also from this set and stamped with Granny Apple Green ink.

On the 2nd card I coloured the images with the following Stampin’ Blends - Granny Apple Green (#154885), Soft Sea Foam (#154902), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Poppy Parade (#154958), Mint Macaron (#154889), Crumb Cake (#154882), Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Balmy Blue (#154830).

The Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon (#144213) was wrapped around the card. A die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies (#151690) was used to cut the sentiment and then attached using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

The edges of the card front and sentiment were sponged with Granny Apple Green ink and I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) to add glitter to the bird. Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) were added to finish the card.

Have a great day!!

True Love Designer Series Paper & Stampin’ Blends

Hello,

I have used a variety of Stampin’ Blends to colour the True Love Designer Series Paper (#154281). There is a lovely variety of designs in this pack suitable for colouring or you can just use the Black & White images. Either looks great.

The Stampin’ Blends used are Purple Posy (#154896), Highland Heather (#154887), Rococo Rose (#154900), Blackberry Bliss (#154877), Rich Razzleberry (#154898), Petal Pink (#154893), So Saffron (#154905), Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Crumb Cake (#154882) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). This was attached to the Basic White card (#159228) which I had dry embossed with a Meadow Moments Embossing Folder (#153126).

The edges of the card front was sponged with Rich Razzleberry ink (#147091) and then attached to the Basic White base card.

“Happy Birthday” from the Happy Thoughts stamp set (#154507) was stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink. I used the Hippo & Friends Dies (#153585) to cut the sentiment and the Rich Razzleberry card under the sentiment. The Gold Trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo pack (#152475) was attached under the sentiment, and the sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Enjoy your day!

Lacy Petals Dies

Hi,

I have been playing with the Delicate Petals Bundle (#156258) again.

I stamped the detailed circle on the Basic White card (#159228) using Crumb Cake ink (#147116). To stamped this I cut the white card 9.5cm x 9.5cm and placed it on the Stamparatus (#148187) as shown below. I have a piece of the grid paper marked with a square and diamond the same size as the card.

Place the card on the square then place the stamp in position as shown.

Stamp the image, then turn the card and stamp again. Do this on all 4 sides.

To complete the circle I then moved the card to the “diamond” shape. As the image is larger than the gap in between the stamped image, I used the masking method. To do this I stamped a post-it-note and cut this around the edge of the image and cut this in half. I placed the stamped post-it-note over 2 of the stamped images, then stamped again on the card. The post-it-note stops the image being stamped over and only stamps the unmasked area. 

The petals and flowers were cut with Pretty Peacock card (#150886) and Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). I attached the Gold Trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (#152475) before attaching the petals to the card. The Pretty Peacock petals were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the Gold Foil flower was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Happy” is from the Well Said stamp set (#148796) and stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083). I attached a piece of Pretty Peacock card to the Foam Adhesive Sheets (#152815). This is double sided adhesive foam which you can cut with open dies and so I cut “birthday” using a die from the Well Written Dies (#151816). This has adhesive on the back so makes it easy to attach to the card.

I coloured 3 Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) using the Pretty Peacock Stampin Blends (#154895) before adding to the card. Remember you can colour your embellishments with Stampin’ Blends to co-ordinate with the colours on your card.

Have a great day!!

Delicate Petals Bundle

Hello & welcome again,

If you love pretty & lacy things I am sure you will love the Lacey Petals Dies (#154328) which I have highlighted on todays card. These are part of the Delicate Petals Bundle (#156258) which also includes the Delicate Petals stamp set (#154475) 

 

I have also used the beautiful Love You Always Foil Sheets (#154286). There are 3 colours in this pack. The larger petals and the top layer were cut from the Rococo Rose Foil, the next layer of petals are the Blushing Bride Foil and the next layer is the Sahara Sand Foil. The largest petals and the next layer are individual petals.

The leaves were cut from the Pearlescent Specialty Paper (#154291), then I sponged the leaves with Coastal Cabana ink (#147097).

I dry embossed the Pearlescent Specialty Paper for the card front using the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (#152702). The edges were sponged with Coastal Cabana ink. The sentiment is from the Delicate Petals stamp set and also stamped with Coastal Cabana ink, then cut with a die from the Tasteful Labels Dies (#152886). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

The leaves, first 2 layers of petals and top layer of the flowers were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683), the 3rd layer was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

A Pastel Pearl (#154571) was attached to the centre of the flower. The base card is Very Vanilla (#106550) and the sentiment was also stamped on Very Vanilla card.

Have a great day!!

True Love Designer Series Paper

Hi Ladies & Guys,

The True Love Designer Series Paper (#154281) has beautiful floral & geometric designs in black & white but you can add your own colour which I have done with Stampin’ Blends.

The base card is Basic White (#159228). The background and the flowers are from the True Love DSP. I fussy cut the flowers and coloured them with the following Stampin’ Blends - Poppy Parade (#154958), Mango Melody (#154888), Highland Heather (#154887), Flirty Flamingo (#154884) and Granny Apple Green (#154885).

I stamped the sentiment from the Dandelion Wishes stamp set (#151345) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card. I did this using the Stamparatus (#148187) as I wanted to clear emboss the sentiment. Once I stamped the black ink, I cleaned the stamp then re-stamped with VersaMark (#102283), then added the Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109130) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This gives a shine to the ink, and can be done in any colour ink to co-ordinate with your card.

I then cut this with a Stitched So Sweetly Die (#151690) and attached it to the DSP. The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the trio of Matt Black Dots (#154284) were attached to the card.

Enjoy your weekend!!
