Boughs Of Holly Designer Series Paper

Hello & welcome my friends,

The flowers from the Boughs Of Holly Designer Series Paper (#159600) have been fussy cut, then I added some extra stamped leaves around the flower.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317) and matted with Shaded Spruce card (#147006), then attached to the Basic White base card.

I backed the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237) with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), then cut this with the frame die from the Framed Florets (#160623). This was adhered to the card front.

The poinsettias were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The leaves from the Merriest Moments stamp set (#156353) were stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088) and cut with a die from the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder & Dies (#156385). These leaves were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Deer stamp set (#156891) and stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). This was cut with a Potted Succulent die154330). I cut the ends off the label and cut the words apart. Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the words to the card. The cute Flowers Trinkets (#159191) were added to the card. You probably can’t see the glimmer on the flowers which I added with the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897).

Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

The Designer Series Paper used for the background of this card is from the Pretty Prints DSP (#159245).

I cut strips of this DSP and glued it to a piece of Basic White card (#159228), using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). This was then matted with Gold Foil (#132622) and attached to the Basic White base card.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763). This is definitely my go to stamp set for greetings at the moment with different size words  and fonts of popular greetings. I stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) and used Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) which of course was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I used a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820) to cut the sentiment. This was taped to the card.

I used a Honeybee Blooms die (#157951) to cut the leafy piece from the Gold Foil backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The beautiful Brush Brass Butterflies (#158136) were added to the card.

Holly Berry Dies

Hello everyone,

These lovely holly leaves are cut with the Holly Berry Dies (#159607).

With Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of the Gold Foil (#132622) I cut these detailed leaves and the Shaded Spruce card (#147006) with the Holly Berry dies. The berries were stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) and Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083) and also cut with the Holly Berry dies.

“Season’s Greetings” from the Brightest Glow stamp set (#159542) was stamped with Real Red ink and cut with a Labels Aglow Die (#159551).

I punched the corners of the Boughs Of Holly Designer Series Paper (#159600) and the Shaded Spruce card with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878). This was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). The leaves were taped to the card front and the sentiment and berries were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

TIP: when using this Very Best Trio Punch, once you punch a corner, turn the card over (so you will be seeing the back of the card or DSP) to punch the opposite corner so you get a reversed image of the 2 cutouts.

Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper

Hi my friends,

I find colouring with the Stampin’ Blends very relaxing and it was very easy on this Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper. (#159037).

The Stampin’ Blends used are Daffodil Delight (#154883), Poppy Parade (#154958), Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Fresh Freesia (#155518), Blackberry Bliss (#154877), Granny Apple Green (#154885), Soft Succulent (#155521), Mint Macaron (#154889) and Old Olive (#154892).

I matted the DSP with Basic Black card (#121688) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228).

“Happy Birthday” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and cut with a Frosted Flurry Die (#159811). I attached the Silver Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) to the card and added the sentiment on top with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are the retired Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials.

I couldn’t finish this card without adding Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to all the flowers.

Another easy but pretty card.

Pretty Birds Bundle

Hello stamping friends,

The Pretty Birds Bundle (#158847) consists of the Pretty Birds Stamp Set (#158845) and the Birdhouse dies (#158846) which I have used for todays card.

I stamped the birds with Tuxedo Black memento ink (#132708) and these were cut with the co-ordinating dies. The Stampin’ Blends used to colour the birds are Daffodil Delight (#154883), Granny Apple Green (#154885), Balmy Blue (#154830), Tahitian Tide (#159221) and Crumb Cake (#154882).

I used one of the designs from the Snowflake Specialty Vellum (#159832) for the background and this was matted with Tahitian Tide card (#159262), then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

“Best Wishes” from the Happiness Abounds stamp set (#159238) was stamped with Tahitian Tide ink (#159210) and cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). The bird cage was cut from Gold Brushed Metallic cardstock (#153524).

I attached the group of birds with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The bird cage, sentiment and single bird were all attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are the Fine Sparkle Adhesive-backed Gems (#159967).

Tip: when attaching vellum I avoid adding adhesive where it will show through. I usually attach all the pieces to the front of the vellum first, then you can see on the back where to add the adhesive. I used Mini Glue dots behind the gems and tape on the larger areas which can’t be seen.

Hues Of Happiness

Hello again,

The Hues Of Happiness Designer Series Paper (#158822) has a great range of beautiful & bright designs.

I matted the 2 pieces of DSP with Melon Mambo card (#119980). I cut the Basic White card (#159228) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), with a die from the Autumn Bouquet Dies (#159837). This was adhered to the card front, then I attached the smaller matted DSP.

The flower from the Happiness Abounds stamp set (#159238) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554). This was then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The flower was then cut with a Blossoming Happiness Die (#158824). “Best wishes” from the same stamp set was stamped with Melon Mambo ink (#147051) then cut with a Potted Succulents die 154330). The flower & sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I used Granny Apple Green card (#147014), also backed with Adhesive Sheet, for the leaves which are from the Flowers Of Home dies (#157938). I added glimmer to the flower with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).
