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.

I stamped the floral image with Gray Granite ink (#147118) onto Basic White card (#159228). I coloured the flowers with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675). For the leaves I used Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends (#154902), Old Olive Stampin’ Blends (#154892) and Lost lagoon Stampin’ Blends (#161680).

I used the dies to cut the stamped image as well as the detailed image which I cut from Soft Sea Foam card (#147012). I also cut some individual leaves from the same dies set.

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder (#162189) and matted with Soft Sea Foam card.

The circles are cut from Bubble Bath card (#161727) & Basic White card using Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580). These were taped to the card front. I attached the detailed floral cut-out to the card then added the stamped image with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Happy Birthday” is also from the Magnolia Mood stamp set and I stamped this with Petunia Pop ink (#163811). This was cut with a Delicate Forest die (#162675). The embellishments are from the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems (#163781). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the flowers & leaves.

Fancy fold card with Round We Go Dies

Welcome friends,

I think everyone likes a fancy fold card and they don't have to be difficult.

For the Basic White base card (#159228) I used the full length of the card and cut it 15cm wide. This was scored along the long side at 15cm and 22.5cm. I marked the centre of the end of the card at 7.5cm and cut from this mark to the scored edge. I cut 2 pieces of Blueberry Bushel card (#146991) at 9.5cm x 9.5cm and 2 pieces of Basic White card at 8.5cm x8.5cm. I dry embossed the white squares with the Dashing Design Embossing Folder (#163483). These were matted with the Blueberry Bushel card.

The Azure Afternoon card (#161728) for the inside, measures 14cm square and I dry embossed this with the So Swirly Embossing Folder (#163791). This was attached to the base card and one of the “diamonds” was attached on top. I attached the other “diamond” to the v shape at the front. I cut a piece of Azure Afternoon card 14cm x 6.5cm and also dry embossed this with the So Swirly Embossing Folder. This was attached to the card.

“Sending Hugs” from the Layering Leaves stamp set (#161277) was stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138) and cut with a die from the Wild Ferns (#162654). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I cut 3 pieces of the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper (#162133) with the Round We Go Dies (#163729) to make the rosette. The butterfly from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set (#163490) was stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink, then cut with the Sketched Butterflies dies (#163491). The rosette & butterfly were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I also stamped & cut another smaller butterfly which I attached above the sentiment.

The detailed die cut butterflies were cut with dies from the Sketched Butterflies die using Blueberry Bushel card backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

Layers Of Beauty

Hello crafty friends,

The Layers Of Beauty Bundle (#163519) includes the stamp set, dies and decorative masks. These masks make it so easy to colour the stamped image.

I stamped the floral image from the Layers Of Beauty stamp set (#163514) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). Then using the numbered masks I applied the ink with Blending Brushes (#153611). The inks used are Real Red (#147084), Granny Apple Green (#147095) and Daffodil Delight (#147094). This was then cut with the Layers Of Beauty Dies (#163518).

There is an outline die as well as the detailed leafy die to cut this piece. I also cut a piece of Basic White card with the outline die and dry embossed this with the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder (#163483). The detailed die-cut piece was adhered to the White card, then this was taped to the Basic White base card.

I cut the sentiment with dies from the Wanted To Say dies (#161594) using Real Red card (#106578) and Basic White card. The white card was backed with Adhesive sheet, making it easy to attach to the Real Red background.

The stamped floral image was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The sentiment was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The Adhesive-Backed Pearl Trio (#163319) embellishments were added to the card.
