New Horizons Designer Series Paper

Hello crafty friends,

I have just received 2 products which I have been looking forward to using - the New Horizons 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#157768) and the Driving By stamp set (#158099), so I have used them together on today’s cards.

The New Horizons DSP has a beautiful range of designs of watercolour “scenes”. I stamped the birds from the On The Horizon stamp set (#157770) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto one of the designs. The sentiment was also stamped with the same ink and cut with the Messages Die (#154422).

I used the Heart & Home 12”x12” DSP (#157928) for the fence which was cut with the Horizon Dies (#157778). There are 2 pieces for this fence and I used both. I attached these to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). 

The car is from the Driving By stamp set (#158099) which is a Sale-a-bration product. This was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink then fussy cut. It was coloured with Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends (#154830) and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends (#154904). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the car to the card.

The DSP was matted with Basic Black card (#121688), then attached to the Basic White card base (#159228).

TIP: I cut narrow pieces of the Mini Stampin Dimensionals along the edge of the sheet of Dimensionals to attach to the fence. An alternative is to use the Foam Adhesive sheets (#152815). Just attach the DSP to one side of the Foam Adhesive sheet, then cut with the dies as normal and attach to the your project.

Soaring Swallows Bundle

Welcome everyone,

The Soaring Swallows Bundle (#157810) was used for the bird & sentiment on this card. The bundle includes the Soaring Swallows stamp set (#157804) and the Swallow Dies (#157809) and when purchased as a bundle you save 10%.

The bird & sentiment were both stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). Both were cut with dies from the Swallows dies.

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the stripes from the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder (#157980), then attached the Abstract Beauty 4”x6” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#158039).

The gold card from the Brushed Metallics 12”x12” cardstock (#153524) and the pink card from the Supple Shimmer 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#158068) were both cut with a Beautiful Shapes Die (#158046). The gold circle, the sentiment and the bird were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I daubered the card front with Polished Pink ink (#155712) before attaching it to the Basic White base card. The Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#158130) were added to the card.

Sale-a-bration Friendly Hello

Hello again,

I am loving the Friendly Hello stamp set & Designer Series Paper (#159990) which is a Sale-a-bration product. Due to some delays with some of these products, Sale-a-bration is being extended for a few more weeks so there is still time to gets some free products with qualifying orders. The Friendly Hello set which includes the stamp set & DSP is free with a $180 order (in Australia). There are other products with $90 orders.

I stamped the bird & flower image twice with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Basic White card (#159228), then fussy cut the images. I coloured them with the following Stampin’ Blends - Daffodil Delight (#154883), Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Fresh Freesia (#155518), Pool Party (#154894), Pale Papaya (#155519), Granny Apple Green (#154885) and Crumb Cake (#154882).

I used the Stitched Greenery Die (#155451) for the stitching on the Basic White card front, then this was attached to the Pool Party card (#124391). The base card is also Basic White. The striped paper is from the Friendly Hello DSP.

I lightly coloured the white side of the Heart & Home Doilies (#157956) with Pool Party ink (#147107) and a Blending Brush (#153611). Best Wishes from the Art Gallery stamp set (#158201) was stamped with Pool Party ink (#147107) then cut with the Messages die (#154422). The sentiment and the bird & flowers on the left were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) for the image on the right. The Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#158130) were my choice of embellishment for this card.

TIP: The Messages die is one die but it has 18 different cut outs for a range of sentiments. There are 2 stamp sets which co-ordinate with the die or you can choose other sentiments and use the appropriate cut-out from this die.

Friendly Hello & Honeybee Home

Hello friends,

I have combined the Friendly Hello stamp set (#159990) with the Honeybee Home stamp set (#157943) for this card.

I stamped the leaves from the Friendly Hello stamp set onto Basic White card (#159228) using Just Jade ink (#153115). Then I dry embossed this with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (#152718). This was matted with Pale Papaya card (#155669) then attached to the Basic White base card.

The 2 larger flowers from the Friendly Hello stamp set and the smaller flowers from the Honeybee Home stamp set were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The 2 larger flowers were fussy cut and the small flowers were cut with the Honeybee Blooms Dies (#157951). All the flowers were coloured with Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends (#155519) and the leaves with Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends (#155521). 

The Gold trim from the Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was attached to the card front and the flowers were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The sentiment is also from the Friendly Hello stamp set and stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, then cut with a die from the Ornate Frames (#150664). This was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Adhesive Backed Hexagons (#158148) were added to the card. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used on all the flowers to add that bit of sparkle.

TIP: When stamping and dry embossing on the same piece of card, it is usually best to stamp first, then emboss. If you emboss first you won’t get the best stamping image. However I have very occasionally embossed first for a different effect, depending on the stamp. It’s always worth experimenting.

Beautiful Shapes Dies

Hello crafty friends,

I am sure you are all like me and have lots of bits and pieces of designer papers that we just don't want to throw out as we may be able to use them on a project some day. Well this card is using bits and pieces and cut with the Beautiful Shapes dies (#158046).

The Expressions In Ink 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#155464) was used for the card front and was also cut with one of the Hexagon dies from the Beautiful Shapes dies. I used the Brushed Metallic 12”x12” Cardstock (#153524) and the pink card from the Supple Shimmer Specialty Paper (#158068) to cut the other hexagons.

The Basic White card (#159228) was dry embossed with the splatters from the  Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder (#157980) and attached to the DSP. The hexagons were attached to the card. “Happy Birthday” is from the Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) and stamped with Magenta Madness ink (#153117). A die from the Bloom Dies (#155989) was used to cut the sentiment and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#151193).

TIP: You could use any shapes for this card. Just have a play with what you have and with various designer papers for a unique look.

Daffodil Daydream Bundle

Hi friends,

The Slim Card Dies (#157965) has 4 dies which can be used for a slim line card and I have used one for the background of this card.

Before cutting the Basic White card (#159228) with the die, I adhered the Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to the back. This makes it so much easier to attach it to the base card. This was then attached to the Basic White base card which was cut at 22cm x 18cm and scored in half at 9cm. This fits perfectly into the Slimline Envelopes (#157981).

The daffodils from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set (#157786) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). These were cut with the Daffodil Dies (#157794). The Stampin’ Blends to colour the images are Daffodil Delight (#154883) and Granny Apple Green (#154885).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Biggest Wish stamp set (#155952). “Birthday” was stamped with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) and “Happy” with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). I used a Hippo & Friends Die (#153585) to cut the sentiment. Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the sentiment and the daffodils with the 3 flowers to the card. I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897) for some glitter on the flowers and the embellishment are from the Playing With Patterns Resin Dots (#152467).
