A Little Something

Posted on January 14, 2022January 13, 2022 by Josee

Dimensions

  • Thick Basic White: 11” x 4-1/4” & 5-1/4” x 4”
  • Pale Papaya: scrap large enough for largest arch
  • Polished Pink: scrap large enough for second largest arch
  • Highland Heather: scrap for second smallest arch, and 2” x 2” for circle
  • Pool Party: scrap for smallest arch

Directions

  1. Score the long piece of Basic White cardstock at 5-1/2″. Fold in half, and use your Bone Folder to create a sharp crease.
  2. Use your die cutting machine and the die with the four large arches to cut the arches into the bottom left corner of your 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of cardstock. Be sure to leave a border around the two sides so that the rainbow doesn’t go right to the edge.
  3. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the die cut cardstock. Cut thin pieces from the edges of the Mini Stampin’ Dimensional sheet and attach them to the thin curved pieces between the arches. Adhere this layer to the card front.
  4. Die cut each of the arches from the coloured cardstock. Use Stampin’ Seal to glue these arches to the cardstock base. Refer to the photo for placement of each colour.
  5. Use Versamark ink to stamp the phrase onto the square of Highland Heather cardstock. Cover with white embossing powder, and shake off the excess. Heat using your Heat Tool until all of the powder has melted and is glossy.
  6. Die cut the phrase with the large circle on the Picture This circles die. Adhere to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  7. Add 5 Polished Dots to the card front.

VIDEO POST: Friendly Hello

Posted on January 12, 2022January 12, 2022 by Josee

I’m loving the Friendly Hello Bundle that you can get free right now with a min. $120CAD order. The stamp set is really pretty on its own but I find the designer paper GORGEOUS!

The Friendly Hello bundle (#159990) in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue includes a stamp set and a pack of Designer Paper. You can get this bundle for free with a min. $120 order.

Dimensions

  • Petal Pink: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
  • Fresh Freesia: 4″ x 5 1/4″  and  2 3/4″ Scallop circle
  • Friendly Hello Designer Paper: 3 3/4″ x 5″
  • Shimmery White: 2 5/8″ Circle Die  and  5/8″ x 3 1/2″

Directions

  1. Ink up the 2 sizes of leaves with Soft Succulent ink, stamp them first on scrap paper, then stamp them over top the white leaves on the Designer Paper.
  2. Adhere the Designer Paper to the Soft Succulent cardstock.
  3. Place a piece of ribbon on top of the 2 layers, adhere the ends to the back of the cardstock. Adhere the 2 layers to the card base.
  4. Stamp the bird/flower image on a piece of Shimmery White cardstock using Memento black ink.
  5. Colour the bird using the Light Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blend. Use small strokes of the Colour Lifter to pull some of the colour away.
  6. Colour the flowers with the dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend. Use the dark Pale Papaya to add some highlights to the flower and to colour the middle of the flowers.
  7. Cut out the image using the 2 5/8″ Circle Die.
  8. Ink the speckle stamp with Memento ink, stamp on a scrap paper, then stamp it randomly around the bird.
  9. Cut out a scalloped circle using Soft Succulent cardstock with the 2 3/4″ die.
  10. Adhere the 2 circles together. Add them to the card using Dimensionals.
  11. Make a bow using the ribbon, cut the ends and add the bow to the card using a Mini Glue Dot.
  12. Stamp the greeting on Shimmery White cardstock using Memento black ink. Stamp the image to the left of the greeting, then cut the ends using Paper Snips. Add the layer to the card using Dimensionals.
  13. Add shimmer to the bird, flowers and berries using Wink of Stella.
  14. Add the gems.

Bright Wishes

Posted on January 10, 2022January 4, 2022 by Josee

This fun, bold flower is so cute once it’s coloured. I found adding the specks of dots after made the layer even more fun!

Dimensions

  • Fresh Freesia: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
  • Blackberry Bliss: 4″ x 5 1/4″  and  1″ x 2 3/4″
  • Designer Paper: 3 3/4″ x 5″ Stitched Rectangle Die
  • Shimmery White: 2 1/4″ x 3 5/8″ Stitched Rectangle Die

Directions

  1. Adhere the Designer Paper to the Blackberry Bliss cardstock
  2. Place 2 pieces of 5″ white Baker’s Twine on top of the Designer Paper and adhere the ends to the back.
  3. Take 2 pieces of white Baker’s Twine (approx 5.5″) and tie a bow around the 2 attached pieces.
  4. Adhere the 2 layers Paper to the card base.
  5. Stamp the flower on a piece of Shimmery White cardstock using Memento Black Ink. Cut it out using the 2″ x 3 1/2″ Stitched Rectangle Die.
  6. Colour the image using Stampin’ Blends.
  7. Add ink dots on to the Shimmery White cardstock by using the inside of the lid of the Stampin’ Blend to flick the colour.
  8. Adhere the Shimmery White layer to the card using Dimensionals.
  9. Stamp the greeting on the Blackberry Bliss cardstock using Versamark ink. (Tip: Swipe the cardstock with our retired Embossing Buddy or a Dryer Sheet before stamping to remove some of the static from the paper.)
  10. Pour White Embossing Powder on top,  then tap off excess. Heat Set with Heat Tool.
  11. Cut the end of the cardstock into a “V”. Use the side of Paper Snips to rough up all the edges.
  12.  Put Stampin’ Seal to the left-side of the greeting layer and a Dimensional on the right-side of the layer, then add it to the card.
