Happy Holly-Days

Hello,

I love this bird from the Happy Holly-Days stamp set (#156342), and even though it is a Christmas set, I have used the bird for an any occasion card.

I stamped the bird with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099), then fussy cut it. The Highland Heather card front (#147010) was dry embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing Folder (#156505) and attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). The designer paper is from the Hand-Penned Memories & More Card Pack (#155505). I attached the Square Vellum Doilie (#152484) to the card. I taped an area which would be a covered with the printed card, the bird and sentiment, so it’s not visible through the vellum. 

The sentiment is from the Very Versailles stamp set (#149275), stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink and cut with an Ornate Frames Die (#150664). The sentiment and bird were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I added some Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the bird. Just a reminder that some inks can bleed when using the Wink Of Stella. I used it on the bird where there was some shading and it did bleed slightly but that’s what I wanted to achieve.

Merriest Moments Bundle

Hello everyone,

I love the Gold & white on this beautiful card using the Merriest Moments Bundle (#156783).

All the card is Basic White (#159228) except for the smallest petals on the flower which is Gold Foil (#132622). The card front was dry embossed with the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder (#156385). The edges were heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#102283). To do this I VersaMarked (#102283) the edges of the card front, then sprinkled with Gold Emboss Powder and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I did one edge at a time. 

The flowers, leaves and sentiment are all from the Merriest Moments stamp set (#156353) and also all gold embossed. The co-ordinating dies which are included with the embossing folder, were used to cut all these elements. The flower was assembled using Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the leaves were attached to the card also with the glue dots. The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430), and a Gilded Gem (#152478) was added.

Angels Of Peace

Hello again my friends,

There are 2 angels in the Angels Of Peace stamp set (#156365) and I love that they can be just stamped or can be coloured. I have chosen to gold emboss this cute little angel.

So I stamped the angel and star with VersaMark (#102283) and used Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set these with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was then cut with a Tailor Made Tags Die (#155563). “Merry” & “Christmas” are from the Bright Baubles stamp set (#156350) and stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083).

The Gold Shimmer Vellum (#156471) was dry embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (#156505). I then adhered Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to the back of this vellum and attached it to a piece of Basic White card (#159228), then it was matted with the Cherry Cobbler card (#121681). The reason I didn’t attach it directly to the Cherry Cobbler card was because it would have changed the  colour to the Gold Vellum. The Simply Elegant Specialty DSP (#155761) was attached to the card front. The base card is Basic White (#159228)

The Gold Trim from the Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was attached to the card and the tag. The Gold Holly Leaves (#156311) were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The Tag was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the sentiment with the Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The Cherry Cobbler gem from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#150457) was attached to the centre of the star.

Delicate Dahlias from Sale-a-bration

Hello my friends,

Here is a lovely subtle coloured card using the beautiful Delicate Dahlias stamp set (#156601) which is a free product from Sale-a-bration with a $180 order. This is a 2 step stamp set.

For the large dahlia, I stamped it with Pale Papaya ink (#155670) first, then stamped the outline image with VersaMark (#102283) and used White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The small flowers were stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink (#147086) and Pale Papaya ink. The leaves were stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). All the images were fussy cut,

The Basic White card front (#159228) was embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (#156505) and this was matted with the Pale Papaya card (#155669), then attached to the Basic White base card.

The Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon (#155672) was attached to the card front, then the flowers and leaves were attached using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The sentiment is also from the Delicate Dahlias stamp set and cut with a die from Tasteful Labels (#152886). This was stamped with Pale Papaya ink and attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add glitter the the flowers and leaves. The card was finished with the Elegant Faceted Gems (#152464).

Stitched Snowflake Dies

Hi & welcome again,

As the new mini catalogue has a huge range of Christmas products, you will see many Christmas cards in the next few weeks, which means you can get your cards organised well before Christmas. Unfortunately here in Australia we don't get snow at Christmas (and most places not even in winter) but I still love the snowflakes.

The Basic White (#159228) card front was dry embossed with one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders (#155433) and this was matted with the Balmy Blue card (#147007). The Mettalic Mesh Ribbon (#153550) was wrapped around the card front then this was attached to the Basic White base card.

I stamped the circle from the Textures & Frames stamp set (#156616) which is one of the Sale-a-bration products. This was stamped with Balmy Blue ink (#147105), then cut with a circle from the Picture This Die (#155559).

The Stitched Snowflakes Dies (#156455) were used to cut the snowflakes from the Silver Foil 12”x12” Specialty Pack (#156457). The sentiment & snowflakes were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are the Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220) and I coloured them using the light Night Of Navy Stampin’ Blends (#154891) before attaching them to the card.

Whimsical Trees

Hello friends,

The Whimsical Trees Bundle (#156810) is one of my favourites in the new Mini catalogue, although there are many favourites as usual.

I dry embossed the Basic White (#159228) card front with the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder (#153576), then I lightly coloured the trees with a Blending Brush & Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). 

The trees are from the Whimsical Trees Stamp set (#156330).  The tree on the left was stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink onto Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) using the Stamparatus (#148187). Then I re-stamped the image with VersaMark (#102283) and added Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The other trees were stamped with VersaMark and I used Gold, White and Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powders. The trees were cut with a die from the Christmas Tree Dies (#156339). The 2 green trees were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment is from the Happy Holly-Days stamp set (#156342) and also stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink and Clear embossing powder. I cut this with the banner from the Bloom Dies (#155989). The Silver embellishments are from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials (#155567).

Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi everyone,

I hope you have had a chance to see the new Mini catalogue with so many beautiful products as well as Sale-a-bration. If you would like a catalogue please email me if you live in Australia. 

 Many of the products are for Christmas but there many other products which can be used for a variety of occasions. I love these new specialty papers used here.

The gorgeous Blackberry Beauty 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#156458) was matted with the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). This was then attached to the Cork 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#156393). The base card is Blackberry Bliss (#133682).

The sentiment from Positive Thoughts stamp set (#151490) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with a Stitched Rectangle Dies (#151820) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The leaves are cut with the Artistic Dies (#155371) using the Rose Gold from the Gold & Rose Gold 6”x6” Metallic Specialty Paper (#156844). I had the Adhesive Sheet (#152334) adhered to the back before cutting which makes it easy to attached this detailed cut out to the card.
