Thank You
Yesterday in my Facebook Live I shared some cards made using the Shaded Summer stamp set from the Annual Catalogue and the Summer Shadow Dies which are Free with a qualifying order during Sale-A-Bration. For today’s card, I stamped the greeting from the Shaded Summer stamp set onto the lower right hand corner of Basic White card using Early Espresso ink. I embossed the stamped Basic White card using the Tasteful Texture 3D Embossing Folder before attaching a piece of In Good Taste Designer Series paper to the left hand side.
The panel is attached to scored and folded Early Espresso card. I cut a rectangle from Early Espresso card using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and attached it to the card front using dimensionals. I cut a circle from Sahara Sand card and punched and then used the same circle to cut away to top of the circle before embossing the card with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I cut a straight edge in the piece of card I cut from the circle and attached it to make a base for my “flower pot”.
I stamped the image from the Shaded Summer stamp set onto Basic White card using Sahara Sand ink. The image is coloured using the Dark Flirty Flamingo, Dark Granny Apple Green and Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. I cut out the image using the co-ordinating Summer Shadow Dies. I attached the floral image to the top of the Sahara Sand “flower pot” before attaching the whole piece to the Early Espresso stitched rectangle. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped another greeting from the Shaded Summer stamp set onto Basic White card using Early Espresso ink. I stamped the leafy image from the Shaded Summer stamp set beside the greeting using Sahara Sand ink. I used the Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend to add a little colour the image. I attached a piece of the same pattern In Good Taste Designer Series Paper across the bottom of the stamped panel.
I have to say that this card turned out way better than I expected it to. I hope you like it too.

Season’s Greetings
Today’s card uses the very cute Penguin Place stamp set. I attached a piece of Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper to Early Espresso card. The panel is placed across the centre of Basic White card before being attached to scored and folded Early Espresso card. I stamped the greeting from the Penguin Place stamp set onto the lower right hand corner using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I embossed a piece of Soft Sea Foam card using the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder before attaching it to Early Espresso card. The embossed panel is attached to the left hand side of the card front using dimensionals.
I cut Basic White and Early Espresso card using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I stamped the antler image from the Penguin Place stamp set onto the Basic White rectangle using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped the penguin image from the same stamp set below the antlers using the same ink.
I stamped the nose and feet images from the Penguin Place stamp set using Crushed Curry ink. The stamped rectangle is attached to the Early Espresso rectangle. The image panel is attached to the card front using dimensionals where necessary so that it sits slightly over the embossed panel. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the curved line image across the bottom of Basic White card using Soft Sea Foam ink. I stamped the second penguin image from the Penguin Place stamp set onto the curved line image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I added the beak and single foot images from the Penguin Place stamp set using Crushed Curry ink. Lastly I stamped the greeting from the Penguin Place stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
The Penguin Place stamp set is so cute and it has some great images so that you can use it for Christmas or for a birthday of other celebration.

Dahlia Birthday
Today’s card uses one of the stamp sets that you can earn for free during Sale-A-Bration with a $180.00 spend. It’s a beautiful distinctive stamp set and I am sure will be a firm favourite with many of you. I began by stamping the distinctive flower from the Delicate Dahlia stamp set onto the top left and bottom right corners of Basic White card using Fresh Freesia ink.
I stamped “happy” from the Biggest Wish stamp set onto Basic White card using Fresh Freesia ink and stamped “birthday” from the same stamp set partially over the top using Evening Evergreen ink. I cut out the greeting using the Hippo and Friends Dies and attached it to Fresh Freesia card cut using the same dies. I attached the greeting to the card front using dimensionals.
I stamped the distinctive flower from the Delicate Dahlia stamp set onto Basic White card using Fresh Freesia ink and cut it out. I stamped the distinctive leaves from the Delicate Dahlia stamp set twice onto Basic White card using Evening Evergreen ink and cut them out. I attached the leaves to the back of the Dahlia and then the card front using dimensionals, partially covering the greeting panel. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the distinctive flower from the Delicate Dahlia stamp set onto the lower left hand corner of Basic White card. I stamped the leaves from the same stamp set twice around the flower using Evening Evergreen ink.
I love how pretty this flower is, don’t you.

Happy Day
I found these photos when I was looking through old photos. They were taken on a day when we visited my daughter and her family and had lunch at their local tavern. I followed a sketch (sort of) to add lots of different patterns of black and white paper from the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper to a Basic White 12″ x 12″ page. I attached my photos to Basic Black card before attaching them to the page. I stamped the large dahlia and two small dahlias from the Delicate Dahlias stamp set onto Basic White card using Crushed Curry ink and cut them out.
I stamped two sets of leaves from the Delicate Dahlias stamp set onto Basic White card using Old Olive ink and cut them out. I attached the large flower and one set of leaves so that it sits partially behind both photos. I cut the second set of leaves into two pieces and layered the small dahlias and leaves onto the lower right hand corner of the large photo. I used the Biggest Wish stamp set to stamp “happy” and “day” (using the Birthday) onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I cut out the words separately and attached them to the page. I printed the journalling onto Basic White card and cut it into a narrow strip with a “v” in one end. I attached the journalling to Basic Black card before attaching it to the page.
I love the end result. How about you? Do you love it too?

A bit different
for me! I don’t usually go with really colourful cards, but I liked this card layout when I found it on Pinterest and decide to use it today. I embossed a panel of Pale Papaya card using the dotted folder from Checks & Dots Embossing Folders and attached it to scored and folded Thick Basic White card. I attached a piece of the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper to the centre of the embossed card. I stamped the greeting from the Encircled in Friendship stamp set onto a narrow strip of Soft Succulent card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I cut a “v” in the right hand end of the banner and attached it across the card front using dimensionals. I stamped the floral image from the Encircled in Friendship stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured it using the Dark Pale Papaya and Dark Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends. I cut out the image using one of the Layering Circle Dies and attached it to the card front using dimensionals where necessary.
To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the greeting from the Encircled in Friendship stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Basic White card. I stamped the single floral image from the same stamps set beside the greeting using the same ink. I coloured the flower using the Dark Pale Papaya and Dark Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends before attaching the panel to the inside of the card. The stamped Basic White card is attached to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base. Unfortunately if you are going to use the blends, you need to add an additional panel, otherwise your colouring shows through onto the back of your card!
I’d love to know what you think. Do you like these bright colours together!
