Using a clean tissue, I buffed up each butterfly removing the ink sitting on the surface of each butterfly. Love the effect you get. The inked panel was then glued to the Basic White layer.

Using Versamark ink, I stamped the sentiment, from the Charming Sentiment stamp set, onto the strip of Basic Black card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it.

A strip of Glittered Organdy Ribbon was added behind the sentiment along the bottom. I used Seal + to hold it in place. The sentiment was then added to the rainbow panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies was die cut from the larger square of Basic White card. The leafy wreath was stamped in the centre of the die cut circle in Garden Green ink. I turned the stamp 90°and stamped the wreath again without re-inking. The twiggy wreath was stamped on top in Soft Suede. The stamped circle was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Using the tall tree, I stamped in Shaded Spruce onto the bottom of the stamped strip in 1^st and 2^nd generation ink. This step was repeated to fill up the bottom of the panel.

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies, I cut the scalloped border using the Shaded Spruce card and added it behind the stamped layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I wrapped a piece of Silver Mesh Ribbon around the panel and tied it in a bow, securing the bow with a Mini Glue Dot.

The sentiment from the For Unto Us stamp set (so happy this set has returned) was stamped in Versamark ink onto the small piece of Basic Gray card, covered in White Embossing Powder and heat set using a Heat Tool. I used a Tailor-Made Tag Die to cut out the sentiment, I actually shorted the die cut as it was too long, and added it under the bow with a Mini Glue Dot.

I inked up the trio of flowers from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pale Papaya ink and added a dab of Polished pink ink to the centre of each flower using a dauber.

The leaves were stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink. I used the large spray of leaves, only inking up 2 or 3 at a time. I added a few of the tiny pair of leaves in the same ink.

The trio of tiny flowers was stamped in Polished Pink ink to fill in some of the spaces and the image I used as a flower centre was stamped in Pale Papaya ink.

A Christmas card made using two houses from the Coming Home stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Coming Home for Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

Posted on August 31, 2020August 31, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop where our theme this month is the August to December Mini Catalogue. I have chosen the fabulous Coming Home stamp set, Home Together Dies and the Trimming the Town dsp to make my card. If you have joined me from the talented Jessica Brigden you are very welcome.

To recreate the Coming Home card you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner
Shaded Spruce 4½” by 2 ½”
Whisper White 4” by 3”
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” Rounded upper right corner
DSP strip 5 ½” by ½” – I chose the Most Wonderful Time dsp
DSP strip 5” by ¾” – I chose Trimming the Town dsp
Scrap Whisper White card

I began by using the Stitched So Sweetly dies to die cut a scalloped rectangle from the Shaded Spruce and small Whisper White pieces.

I stamped the small snowflakes from the Coming Home stamp set in Pool Party ink across the top of the die cut Whisper White piece and mounted it onto the Shaded Spruce die cut panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Next I die cut some of the adorable houses from the Trimming the Town dsp using the Home Together Dies. I love it when the die set co-ordinate with some of the dsp images, so easy to make a quick card. The houses were glued to the stamped rectangle with the same liquid adhesive.

The large tree from the Coming Home stamp set was stamped onto scrap Whisper White card in Early Espresso ink and coloured using the Shaded Spruce and Soft Suede Blends Makers It was added to the stamped panel on Dimensionals.

Using the Banner Triple Punch I flagged both ends of the DSP strips and glued them to the front of the Pool Party card base using the liquid glue. These were 2 scrap pieces that happened to co-ordinate with the colour combo I was using. You can use anything you happen to have.

Using a Paper Trimmer I cut off the left hand side of the scalloped Rectangle piece and added it to the card front with the liquid glue. The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set was stamped onto the card front with Misty Moonlight ink and a trio of Adhesive-backed Snowflakes added to complete the card.
