Basic Borders

Hello,

For today’s cards I made 4 the same but used different dies from the Basic Borders Dies (#155558).

Using a Blending Brush (#153611) and Seaside Spray ink (now retired) I coloured the Basic White card front (#159228). Then I stamped the images from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set (#154368) with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I added some extra colour on 2 of the cards over the stamped images using Balmy Blue ink (#147007). I then cut the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) and the Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper (#154288) with the Basic Border Dies. These were attached to the card front. I added the (retired) Seaside Spray Metallic ribbon to one of the cards.

The “celebrate” is from the Many Mates stamp set (retired), “Happy Birthday to my Beautiful Friend” is in the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set (#154368), “Thinking Of You” is in the Quiet Meadow stamp set (#155082) and “Happy Birthday” is from the Happy Thoughts stamp set (#154507). These were all Gold Embossed and cut with Stitched Rectangles Dies (#151820) and Stitched So Sweetly dies (#151690). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the sentiments to the card.

True Love Designer Series paper

Hello,

Sorry for my absence lately but have had a lot on. I am taking a bit of a break over the next few weeks, but hope to get the occasional card made to put on the blog.

I am still loving the True Love Designer Series Paper (#154281) which I have used again on todays card.

The Stampin’ Blends to colour the floral image are- Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Pale Papaya (#155519), Purple Posy (#154896), So Saffron (#154905) and Granny Apple Green (#154885).

The card front was stamped with a border from the Elegantly Said stamp set (#155095) using Basic Gray ink (#149165). Using the Stamparatus (#148187) made it easy to stamp the border. The Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon (#144213) was wrapped around the card front, then the card front was attached to the Basic Gray card (#121689). The base card and card front are Basic White (#159228).

The sentiment from the Many Messages stamp (#154510) was stamped with Basic Gray ink and cut with the co-ordinating Messages Die (#154422). The sentiment and flowers were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I added the Silver Raindrops from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials (#155567).

By the time you are reading this the new Annual catalogue will probably be available to order from (4th May). There’s a great variety of new exciting products available so make sure to check them out -  lesleyjendra.stampinup.net

Have a great day!!

Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper

Welcome,

Another easy card using designer series paper.

The base card is Basic White (#158228) with Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Designer Acetate (#154574) attached on top. I then attached a piece of the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper (#154570) to a piece of Basic White card, showing some of the white card at the top and bottom of the DSP. This was placed on top of the Acetate.

I cut the Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) with a die  from the Painted Labels Dies (#151605). The Silver Trim from the Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was attached to the die cut label then the sentiment attached on top. “Congratulations” is from the Vine Design stamp set (#154488), stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and cut with a Flowering Vine Die (#154332). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) then I added the Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220).

Have a great day.

Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper

Hi ladies & guys,

The Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper (#155761) is absolutely gorgeous and elegant, and includes copper, gold and silver foiling.

Basic White (#159228) is used for the base card, followed by Bermuda Bay card (#147096) and then the DSP. I cut the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) with a die from the Scalloped Contours (#155560).

The flowers from the Elegantly Said stamp set (#155095) were stamped with Bermuda Bay ink (#147096) and Coastal Cabana ink (#147097) on Basic White card. These were fussy cut and the Bermuda Bay flower was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). “Happy Anniversary” is from the Elegantly Said stamp set and heat embossed with VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was then cut with a Tailor Made Tags Die (#155563). The Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was threaded through the tag, then the tag was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Glimmer was added to the flowers using the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897) and the embellishments are the Genial Gems (#155500).

The new catalogue will be available on 4th May, so not long to wait now.

Have a great day.

In Good Taste Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

Here’s a masculine card using “scraps” of designer series paper, and I am sure you have plenty of those small pieces which you just don’t want to throw away.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder (#149643) and attached to the Old Olive card base (#106576). I cut the pieces of In Good Taste DSP (#152494) using Stitched Rectangles Dies (#151820) and attached them to the card front.

I stamped the leaves from Rooted In Nature stamp set (#148217) on Basic White card using Old Olive ink (#147090). The leaves were then cut with the Nature’s Roots Dies (#151786). The sentiment from the Many Mates stamp set (#152633) was also stamped with Old Olive ink and cut with a Stitched Rectangles die and matted on a piece of Old Olive card. Stampin Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the sentiment and leaves.

The retiring products are -

The Soft Succulent 2021-2023 In Color Designer Series Paper (#155641) was cut with a Tailor Made Tags Die (#155563). The Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was attached to the tag.

True Love Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

The True Love Designer Series Paper (#154281) is currently one my favourites especially for colouring with Stampin’ Blends.

For a change I used the Shimmery White cardstock (#121717) which has a lovely subtle shimmer. I dry embossed the card front with the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#151801) then matted this with the Champagne Foil Sheets (#144748).

The flowers were fussy cut and then coloured with the following Stampin’ Blends - Petal Pink (#154893), So Saffron (#154905), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Fresh Freesia (#155611), Pale Papaya (#155670), Flirty Flamingo (#154884) and Soft Sea Foam (#154902).

The stamped leaves are from the Forever Fern stamp set (#152559) and they were stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). A die from the co-ordinating Forever Flourishing dies (#152714) cut the leaves. The leaves from the Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) were cut with dies from the Floral Heart dies (#154306) and attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The coloured flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was attached to the card under the sentiment. Best wishes from the Borders Abound stamp set (#152627) was stamped with Fresh Freesia ink (#155611) and cut with a Stitched Rectangles die (#151820). 

As usual I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add glimmer to the flowers and leaves.
