Happy Hedgehogs

Hello again my friends,

A cute little card using the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set (#157983) and the co-ordinating Hedgehog Builder Punch (#157984).

I used the Gold & Green card from the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack (#160428). I used a Picture This die (#155559) to cut the green card and this was attached to the gold.

All the images are from the the Happy Hedgehog stamp set. The hedgehog was stamped with Soft Suede ink (#147115) and I coloured it with the “800” Stampin’ Blend from the Medium blends (#159463). I stamped the mushrooms with Blushing Bride ink (#147100) and these were coloured with the “700” also from the Medium Stampin’ Blends, Ivory (#154922), “1000” from the Light Stampin’ Blends (#159465) & Granny Apple Green (#154885).

The bird & butterflies were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I used Daffodil Delight (#154883) and Starry Sky (#159222) Stampin’ Blends for the butterflies. The bird was coloured with Daffodil Delight, So Saffron (#154905) & Real Red Stampin’ Blends (#154899). I used Balmy Blue (#154830) & Granny Apple Green (#154885) for the flower.

The hedgehog was punched with the Hedgehog Builder Punch and the other images were fussy cut.

“Just For You” is from the Celebrating You stamp set (#158028) and stamped with Soft Succulent ink (#155778). I cut this with the same Picture This Die and attached it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The hedgehog, mushrooms & bird were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the butterflies. The Flower Trinkets (#159191) are the embellishments.

The flowers, leaves and the “mesh” are cut with the Chic Dies (#158815). I used the green Fine Shimmer Paper (#160428) for the “mesh”, Evening Evergreen card (#155575) for the leaves and Polished Pink card (#155711) and Melon Mambo card (#119980) for the flowers. “Thinking of You” is from the Season Of Chic stamp set (#158810) and this was stamped with Polished Pink ink (#155712).

Biggest Wishes

Hello,

The Stamparatus (#148187) is the perfect tool to stamp “Happy” & “Birthday” on this card. These stamps are from the Biggest Wish stamp set (#155052).

I stamped “happy” with Starry Sky ink (#159212), Crushed Curry ink (#147087), Shaded Spruce (#147088) and Merry Merlot ink (#147112). I used Real Red ink for “birthday”. “Happy” was set up on the Stamparatus and I moved the plate one notch at a time for each of the words. This Basic White card (#159228) was matted with Real Red card (#106578). The Real Red Ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack (#160386) was wrapped around the card front, then attached to the Basic White base card.

The guitar from the Enjoy The Rhythm stamp set (#160361) was stamped with Real Red ink, and this was cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820). I then dry embossed this with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Around The Bend dies

Hello again friends,

Todays card is variation of the last card I posted using the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack (#160428) and using a variety of dies for the leaves.

I cut the Gold from the Fine Shimmer pack using an Around The Bend die (#160649), then punched the top left corner with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878). This was attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550). The shimmery green leaves and the shimmery purple flowers & square are also from the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack. For the other leaves I used the Brushed Metallic cardstock (#153524).

The dies for the leaves and flowers are from the Around The Bend dies, Dainty Delight dies (#160674), Framed Florets dies (#160623 and Queen Bee dies (#160484). 

The stamped flower is from the Petal Park stamp set (#160571). This was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I added some Gorgeous Grape from the Assortment 2 Watercolor Pencils (#149014). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to spread some colour toward the tips of the petals. This was punched with the Petal Park Builder Punch (#160576).

All the card for the leaves had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) attached to the back before cutting, to make them easy to attach to the card. The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The layers of the mauve & gold flowers were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The sentiment is from the Framed Florets stamp set (#161815) and stamped with Highland Heather ink (#147103). This and the mauve card were cut with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183).

The ribbon is the gold from the Gold & Silver Trim Combo Pack (#161633) and attached with Mini Glue Dots. The embellishments are the Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots (#160582).

Fine Shimmer Paper Pack

Hi again,

I have used a variety of dies for the flowers & leaves on this card. The card front is from the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack (#160428) and I used the Stitched Greenery die (#155451) to create the stitched leaves.

The stamped flowers are from the Petal Park stamp set (#160571) and stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Petal Park Builder Punch (#160576) was used to punch the flowers. There are actually 3 different size flowers on this stamp so I have stamped it 3 times as I wanted all 3 flowers the same size. I added the colour to the centre of the petals using the Melon Mambo Watercolor Pencil from Assortment 1 (#141709) and Gorgeous Grape Watercolor Pencil from Assortment 2 (#149014). I then blended the colour using the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897).

I used the Silver Foil Specialty Paper (#156457) to cut the leaves and flower. I had Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of the foil. The dies used for these are the Framed Florets (#160623), Around The Bend (#160649), Irresistible Blooms (#161149), Queen Bee (#160484) and Dainty Delight (#160674). I also cut & embossed 2 flowers with the Brushed Bouquet Dies (#160473) from Pearlescent Specialty Paper (#154291). I lightly daubered these flowers with Fresh Freesia ink (#155611). For the small flowers I used the Fresh Freesia from the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack.

The sentiment from the Framed Florets stamp set (#161815) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This and the silver under the sentiment were cut with Beautiful Shapes Dies (#158046).

Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430), Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683) were used to attach the sentiment and flowers. Adhesive-Backed Studs (#160767) were added to the card.

Easy Fun Fold Card

Hello again my friends,

This is a really simple fun fold card (not sure what it’s called) and I have added a belly band which I have attached the sentiment and flower.

The Real Red card (#106578) was cut 25.3cm x 15cm. I scored on each end of the longer side at 5.1cm & 8.8cm. The DSP is from the Ready To Ride Specialty Designer. Series Paper (#160752) and these were cut 4.6 x 14.5cm.

The flower from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (#161140) was stamped on the Basic White card (#159228) with Real Red ink (#147084) and this was attached inside the card.

I used the larger flower from the same set to stamp on Real Red card. This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The co-ordinating Irresistible Blooms die (#161149) was used to cut the flower. The sentiment also from this stamp set was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and cut with a Stylish Shapes Die (#159183).

To make the belly band I cut a piece of Real Red card 22.5cm x 4.5cm. I scored each end at 6cm, folded the ends and taped where they overlap to make the band. I dry embossed the belly band with the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder (#158655).

The sentiment was taped to the belly band and the flower was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The belly band is now ready to slide over the card.

In The Moment

Welcome everyone,

At this time of the year when the Annual catalogue is coming to an end soon (on 1st May), I tend to look at some stamp sets that I haven’t used in a while and may or may not retire. So today I have used the In The Moment stamp set (#157987).

The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). The Stampin’ Blends to colour this are Bermuda Bay (#154878), Crumb Cake (#154882), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Ivory (#154922), Sweet Sorbet (#159224), 500 from the Medium Natural Tones (#159462) and 1000 from the Light Natural Tones (#159465).

I used a Small Blending Brush (#160518) to apply the Balmy Blue ink (#147105) to the background.

I made the frame using 2 of the dies from the Desert Details Dies (#160531) and I used one of the 3 silvers from the Silver Foil Specialty Pack (#156457). I attached the frame to the  stamped image. The Bermuda Bay card (#131286) was dry embossed with one of the Basics Embossing Folders (#161598) and attached to the Basic White base card. The frame with the stamped image was attached using Foam Adhesive Strips (#141825).

The embellishments are the Adhesive Backed Studs (#160767). The Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used on the clothing & cup for that bit of shimmer.
