Big Congratulations
Today’s card again features the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks. For this card, I embossed Basic White card using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I used one of the masks to add the leaf image to Basic White card using a Blending Brush and Granny Apple Green ink. I used a Scalloped Contour Die to cut a narrow strip of Granny Apple Green card which I attached behind one long edge of the Basic White card. The panel is attached to the left hand side of the embossed Basic White card. The whole panel is attached to scored and folded Granny Apple Green card.
I used the floral mask from the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks and a Blending Brush to add Highland Heather ink to Basic White card. I used the more detailed floral mask and a Blending Brush to add Gorgeous Grape ink to the Highland Heather floral image. I die cut the image using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies.
I attached the image panel to a Granny Apple Green scalloped rectangle cut using the Scalloped Contour Dies. The image panel is attached to the card front using dimensionals. I stamped the greeting from the Special Moments stamp set onto Basic White card using Smoky Slate ink and cut it out using a Stitched Rectangle Die. The greeting is attached to the card front using dimensionals. To decorate the inside of the card, I created the same floral image onto the lower left hand corner of Basic White card using Blending Brushes and Highland Heather and Gorgerous Grape ink.
You can probably tell by now that I am really enjoying using these beautiful masks.

Yeppoon
Today’s page shows off a couple of photos taken while we were staying at Yeppoon. This is one of our favourite places to spend a few days, so relaxing. I used Gray Granite 12″ x 12″ card for the base of my page. I used one of the Plenty of Patterns Decorative Masks to add Night of Navy ink to Night of Navy card using a Blending Brush before attaching the panel to the centre of the page.
I printed my journaling onto Basic White card and attached it to the lower right hand corner of the Night of Navy card. I attached three photos to a piece of Basic Black card and attached it to the left hand side of the Night of Navy card so that it covered the edge of the journaling panel. I printed the title onto Crumb Cake card and punched the right end using the Tailored Tag Punch before attaching it across the Basic White card. I attached the last photo of the baby Curlew above the title. The only bad thing about creating Memory Keeping pages of our holidays is that I want to jump in the van and head off again!

Sailing Birthday
Today I have another card to share with you using the Let’s Set Sail Bundle, which I shared this week on my Facebook Live. I attached a piece of Simply Marbleous 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper to Night of Navy card and then scored and folded Balmy Blue card. I cut a circle from Basic White card using the Layering Circle Dies and stamped the sea image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set across the bottom of the circle. I used the Sailboat Builder Punch to punch the ship and mast from Night of Navy card before attaching it to the stamped circle.
I stamped both the sail images from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink and used the Sailboat Builder Punch to punch them out. I attached the sails to the panel using dimensionals. I stamped the bird image twice onto the circle using Night of Navy ink.
I attached the stamped circle to a Balmy Blue scalloped circle cut using the Layering Circle Dies before attaching the panel to the card front. I stamped “happy birthday” from the Special Moments stamp set (you can earn this stamp set for free with a qualifying order during Sale-A-Bration) onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink. I used the banner die from the Bouquet of Love Dies to cut out the greeting before attaching it to the card front using dimensionals. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the greeting from the Best Year stamp set onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink. I attached a narrow strip of Night of Navy card behind one long edge of a strip of Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper before attaching it across the bottom of the stamped Basic White card.
I love this card, what about you?

Set Sail
This week in my Facebook Live I shared some cards I made using the Let’s Set Sail Bundle. Today I have another card, which is a slightly more stepped up version of those cards. I stamped the Gentle Waves Background stamp onto Basic White card using Bermuda Bay ink. I attached the stamped card to scored and folded Night of Navy card. I stamped the sea image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set onto Basic White card using Bermuda Bay ink.
I stamped the hull & mast image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set onto the card using Night of Navy ink. I stamped the “shadow” image below the hull using Night of Navy ink. I stamped the sails onto the mast using Melon Mambo ink. I cut out the image using the Stitched Rectangle Die and stamped the bird image from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set onto the panel using Night of Navy ink.
I also stamped the greeting from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set onto the panel using Night of Navy ink. I attached the stamped panel to a Night of Navy rectangle also cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. The panel is attached to the card front using dimensionals. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped another greeting from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink. I stamped the bird image from the same stamp set beside the greeting also using Night of Navy ink.
This is a fun stamp set and for me a great addition to my “male” stamp sets. I’d love to know what you think.

Birthday time
Today’s card is another one I created using the Awesome Otters stamp set. I just love these gorgeous images! I used my Stamparatus to stamp the same image onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink so that they are facing each other.
I also added the birthday had image from the Awesome Otters stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink as well. I coloured the images using Smoky Slate and Dark Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends.
I stamped the greeting from the Awesome Otters stamp set underneath the images using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The image panel is attached to Bermuda Bay card and then scored and folded Pacific Point card. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the image from the Awesome Otters stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I placed a mask around the image cut using one of the Layering Circle Dies and coloured the image using Dark Bermuda Bay and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. Such a simple card but one I know that the recipient is going to love.

Someone Wonderful
Today’s card was created using the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks. I really love these masks because they are not just background masks, you can use them to create the focal images on your cards. For today’s card, I embossed Smoky Slate card using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and attached a piece of Simply Marbleous 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper to the left hand side.
The whole panel is attached to scored and folded Thick Basic White card. I attached the solid butterfly mask from the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks to Basic White card. I used a Blending Brush to fill the outline with Blushing Bride ink. I attached the detailed mask over the top of the solid image and using a Blending Brush added Calypso Coral ink.
I stamped the greeting from the Special Moments stamp set onto the Basic White panel using Smoky Slate ink. I used one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut out the image, however, I re-positioned the die and cut again so as to create more of a square image. The image panel is attached to the card front using dimensionals. To decorate the inside of the card, I created the butterfly image on the lower left hand corner using the same inks.
When I am using these masks, I use post-it-notes to cover anything on the mask that I do not want to add ink to. This also helps to hold the card and the mask in position.
I really would love to hear what you think.

Wine & Pizza Night
Today’s page shows off photos from the last night we spent with everyone. The Caravan Park had a wine tasting session followed by wood fired pizza on Saturday night, just what we needed! After the pizza we were entertained by Ethan (and Ron) who played the guitar while the girls sang along. We had a lovely time, although we did buy too many pizza’s! I attached my photos to a Basic White 12″ x 12″ page. I cut the title from Basic Black card using the Playful Alphabet Dies and attached them to the top left and bottom right hand corners of the page. I stamped the wine glasses from the long retired Half Full stamp set onto the top left and bottom right hand corners of the page using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used So Saffron and Light Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends to colour the images. I added the date using a Journalling Pen (also retired). Simple but what great memories.

So Happy For You
This week on my Facebook Live, I shared some cards I created using the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks and today I have another card to share with you. I attached a piece of Simply Marbleous 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper to the bottom of Basic White card. I attached a strip of Flirty Flamingo card above the top edge of the Designer Series Paper before stamping the greeting from the Colour & Contour stamp set using Flirty Flamingo ink. The whole panel is attached to scored and folded Flirty Flamingo card.
I used the layering masks and Blending Brushes to create a butterfly on Basic White card using Blushing Bride and Flirty Flamingo inks. I cut out the butterfly and attached it to the card front using dimensionals underneath the wings and Tombow Multipurpose Liquid glue underneath the body and antennae.
To decorate the inside of the card, I attached a piece of the Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper across the bottom of Basic White card with a very narrow strip of Flirty Flamingo card across the top edge. So simple, but I wanted to use the masks to create something 3D instead of just flat on the card. I’d love to hear what you think.

Masked Flowers
This week in my Facebook Live I shared some cards I made using the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks which were released in the January to June Mini Catalogue. Today I have another creation using these masks to share with you. I embossed Basic White card using the Tasteful Textures 3D Embossing Folder. I attached a piece of Simply Marbleous 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper across the bottom of the embossed card before attaching the panel to scored and folded Gorgeous Grape card.
I created the floral image using a Blending Brush to add Highland Heather ink on the more solid floral image and Gorgeous Grape ink using the more detailed overlay image. I cut out the image using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and attached it to a piece of Gorgeous Grape card before attaching the whole image panel to the card front using dimensionals.
I stamped “Congratulations” from the Peaceful Moments stamp set onto Basic White card using Gorgeous Grape ink and cut it out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. The greeting is attached across the centre of the floral image using dimensionals. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped another greeting from the Peaceful Moments stamp set onto Basic White card using Gorgeous Grape ink. I attached a narrow strip of the same pattern Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper across the bottom of the card. I kind of overlooked these masks when I first looked through the Mini Catalogue but I am so glad that I purchased them. There are so many different ways to use them and I can’t wait to try more ideas.

I attached a strip of the Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper to the left hand side of Basic White card. I cut Misty Moonlight using the Layering Circle Dies and attached it to the card front.

I stamped “happy birthday” from the Peaceful Moments stamp set onto the lower right hand corner of the Basic White card using Misty Moonlight ink.
The whole panel is attached to scored and folded Misty Moonlight card. I used my stamparatus to stamp the otter image and party hat from the Awesome Otters stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I used the Stamparatus to add the stamped the balloon image from the Days to Remember stamp set using Misty Moonlight ink. I added the balloon strings using Misty Moonlight ink but I didn’t use the Stamparatus for these. I coloured the otter and party hat using Smoky Slate and Dark Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends. I attached the stamped circle to a Balmy Blue scalloped circle cut using the Layering Circle Dies and then the card front using dimensionals. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the greeting from the Peaceful Moments stamp set onto Basic White card using Misty Moonlight ink. I stamped the birthday hat image from the Awesome Otters stamp set beside the birthday hat using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the birthday hat using the Dark Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blend.
This is such a fun stamp set which I am sure will get lots of use.
