Spotlight On Nature

Hello again,

Today I have done a stepped up version of yesterday’s card.

I stamped the flowers and butterfly from the Spotlight On Nature stamp set (#163579) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). These were coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Poppy Parade (#154958), Summer Splash (#163826) and Daffodil Delight (#154883). These images were then fussy cut.

I stamped the lines on the background with an image from the Textured Timber stamp set (#163656) using Basic Beige ink (#163806). The DSP is from the Full Of Life 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#163357). The card front was matted with Basic Black card (#121688) and Poppy Parade card (#121694). The Real Red & Gold Dotted Ribbon (#162353) was wrapped around the card front then attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment is from the Everyday Details stamp set (#162861) and this was stamped with Poppy Parade ink. The circles were cut with the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580).

The flowers, butterfly and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). Sparkle was added to the card with the Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems (#161288) and Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

Spotlight On Nature

Hi friends,

It isn't very often that I make a card without embossing or dies etc, so thought I would do a simple one today and just added some colouring with Stampin’ Blends.

I stamped the background on the left with a stamp from the Textured Timber stamp set (#163656) using Basic Beige ink (#163806). The flower and butterfly from the Spotlight On Nature stamp set (#163579) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends to colour these are Poppy Parade (#154958), Summer Splash (#163826) and Daffodil Delight (#154883).

The sentiment from the Everyday Details stamp set (#162861) was stamped with Poppy Parade ink (#147050). I also stamped the crosshatch image from the Spotlight On Nature with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) onto the background.

I matted the card front with Basic Black card (#121688) and Poppy Parade card (#121694), then this was attached to the Basic White card (#159228).

Flowers Of Beauty

Hello everyone,

I have been making some cards lately that could be suitable for male or female, like this one.

The Basic White card (#159228) was dry embossed with the Painted Texture Embossing Folder (#154317) and matted with Misty Moonlight card (#153086). This was attached to the Basic White base card. A piece of the Country Woods 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#163393) was attached to the card front.

The 2 larger leaves were cut with Flowers Of Beauty Dies (#163375) using Basic Beige card (#164512) and Summer Splash card (#163798). The small leaves are cut with a die from Unbounded Love (#163383) using Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). The leaves were attached to the card.

“Happy Birthday” from Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) was stamped with Summer Splash ink (#163809). The sentiment and the Misty Moonlight card under the sentiment were cut with Unbounded Love dies (#163383) then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) were attached to finish the card.

Heartfelt Hexagon Punch

Hello friends,

The shapes on the background of this card have been punched with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch (#162888).

I used the Country Woods 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#163393) to punch the shapes. I attached these to a piece of Basic Black card (#121688) measuring 13.5cm x 9cm. The outside pieces extended past this card so after taping them to the card, I trimmed them off level with the black card. I then matted this with another piece of Basic Black card measuring 13.9cm x 9.5cm. I found this was the easiest way to get all the edges even and have the black matted edge. The black card was then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Magnolia Mood stamp set (#163502). I stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) and added Black Wow! Embossing Powder (#165679). Wow! Embossing Powder is the name of the new embossing powders. This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment & black card under the sentiment were cut with Stylish Shape dies (#159183) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The plane from the Adventurous Sky stamp set (#163439) was also heat embossed with Black. This was cut with a die from the Adventurous Sky Dies (#163446) and attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Delicate Forest dies

Hi again everyone,

Another very quick & easy card today using the Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper (#162735).

I cut the Fresh Freesia card (#155614) with one of Delicate Forest dies (#162679) for the “frame”. I attached this to the DSP, then attached the card front to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Magnolia Mood stamp set (#163502) and stamped with Highland Heather ink (#147103). The die to cut this is also from the Delicate Forest dies. Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach it to the card.

So quick & easy!!

Meandering Meadows Designer Series paper

Hello friends,

The Meandering Meadows 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#162735) has a range of scenery designs which I just love, and making it so easy to make a beautiful card.

I cut the detailed circle with the Irresistible Blooms dies (#161149) from the Basic White card (#159228). I then dry embossed this card with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406). I attached the DSP to the back of this card, then matted it with Crushed Curry card (#131288). This was attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment is from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set (#161290) and stamped with Crushed Curry ink (#147087). A die from the Delicate Forest dies (#162679) cut the sentiment. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The leaves are cut with dies also from the Delicate Forest dies and I used Daffodil Delight card (#121680) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). These were attached to the card.
