Botanical Builder Framelit Cards and Treats

  • Build a card using only the Botanical Framelit die
  • Matching treats using Polka Dot Cone Cellophane Bag
  • 2016 Retiring List

Botanical Builder Framelit die

I'm still finding ways to create with this wonderful Framelit set from the Occasions catalog... and you can still order it from the Occasions Catalog until May 31, 2016.  These thinlets can be used to design without any additional stamping.  This is a sample card using only pieces from the Botanical Builder Framelits Dies

Card made with Botanical Builder Framelit die (140625)


The Botanical Builder Framelit die can be purchased alone (140625), but also comes as part of a bundle with matching stamp set (Botanical Blooms) and matching Designer Series Paper ( Botanical Gardens)  When you purchase the bundled stamp set with the designer paper and the Botanical Builder Framelit die, you save 15% off what they would cost if purchased separately.  The order number for the bundle is 140819.  I used sponge daubers to color the centers of the flowers with Pink Pirouette in and sponge daubers and then added a pearl to the center.



Recipe
  • Stamps: Sentiment on inside of card:  Best Thoughts hostess set
  • Paper:  Pink Pirouette, Whisper White
  • Ink:  Basic Black Archival, Pink Pirouette ink pad, Pink Pirouette Write Marker (butterfly inside card)
  • Accessories:  Botanical Builder Framelit die (140819), Pearl Basic Jewels, Dimensionals,  Big Shot Die Cutting Machine, Standard Cutting Plates, Magnetic Platform  130658.
Sentiment and butterfly on the inside of the card is from the Best Thoughts hostess set (139234).  The flower is another die from the Botanical Builder Framelit die.

Treats matching Botanical Builder card

I love sending a few treats when I send a handmade card.  Here's what I made using the Polka Dot Cone Cellophane Bags (140578) from the Occasions catalog.  I used the same sentiment stamp from Best Thoughts hostess set (139233) as I used on the inside of the card.

Flowers is punches with the Petite Petals (133322) Punch and includes a small pearl center


The treats are tied with White 1-1/4" Jute Ribbon, which can be purchased until May 31 or until gone...one of my favorite ribbons from the current Stampin' Up! catalog.

Botanical Builder Framelits dies create lovely cards!

I've been waiting until after Valentine's Day to play with the new Botanical stamps and framelit.  Using a couple of the wonderful designer papers in the Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack, I created the card below. I used a white gel pen to outline the flower and added some dots to the flowers to add more interest.

  • Paper:  Whisper White, Rose Red, Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack,

Late Valentine!

This is a  CASE of Wendybell's card on Splitcoast.  I got up Valentine's morning and realized I didn't have a card for my dear husband.  The design, layering, choice of papers and stamps and embellishments couldn't have been more perfect.  The burlap ribbon turned a feminine card into a perfect masculine card.





This season, one of my favorite new colors is Tip Top Taupe.  That's what I used for the base card.  I've also found that the 6X6 paper packs offer such a great selection of designs. Lots of textures and lots of layers...lots of fun!  As soon as I finished, my wonderful husband asked me to go for a walk with our dog and enjoy the 72 degree "winter weather" in Houston.  Ummm, I love living here after growing up in frigid Minnesota winters.

Recipe
  • Stamps: Bloomin' Love (140643)
  • Paper:  Whisper White, Real Red, Tip Top Taupe, Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack 
  • Ink:  Real Red
  • Accessories:   Bloomin' Heart Thinlits Dies, Washi Label Punch (138296), 1-1/4 Burlap Ribbon (132140), Big shot Die Cutting Machine, Precision Base Plate (139684), & Magnetic Platform, and Big Shot Die Brush (140603)

    Precision Plate and Big Shot Die Brush makes cutting detailed dies a breeze

    • Card sample using Precision Plate and Big Shot Die Brush 
    • Video shows how to use Precision Plate and Big Shot Die Brush
    • Occasion catalog and Sale-A Bration have arrived!
    • If you're order is larger than $99, you can get $155 in merchandiee and free shipping!

    Precision plate and Big Shot Die Brush!

    I've been playing with Precision plate and die brush with some of my detailed dies...and I love the way the Precision Plate and die brush makes these detailed thinlit so much easier to use.  In fact, I cut a bunch of detailed thinlits in different color to have on hand for fast card making when I'm crunched for time.




    This card was so fast and easy to make, yet looks complex  I cut the Striped Scallop Thinlet and then the Project Life Cards and Lables Framelit and then simply trimmed the Striped Scallops down to fit inside the frame.  Lots of textures and lots of layers...lots of fun!

    Recipe
    • Stamps: Beautiful Bunch(134279)
    • Paper:  Whisper White, Basic Gray, Smoky Slate, Blackberry Bliss, Designer Series Paper Stack -In-Colors 2014-2016 (138433)
    • Ink:  Blackberry Bliss
    • Accessories:   Striped Scallop Thinlet (133734) (Border) Project Life Cards & Lables Framelit Dies (135707), Hello You Thinlits (137363), Fun Flower Punch (133785), Big shot Die Cutting Machine, Precision Base Plate (139684), & Magnetic Platform, and Big Shot Die Brush (140603)
    I must say that the new Big Shot Die Brush really helps you get rid of all the little  pieces in these two thinlits.  I highly recommend the brush and the Precision Base Plate for the best results for detailed dies.

    Watch this video and learn how to use the Precision Plate with detailed thinlits to make this card.  To compliment the Precision Plate, you'll also want the Big Shot Die Brush, which I know you'll "need" for quickly removing small pieces from your detailed thinlits. The  Big Shot Die Brush (140603) is a new product introduced in the Occasions Catalog on page 19. Download your copy of the New Occasions catalog at the link below.
