This is a quick product review.
I will be back and post another blog post on Saturday until then enjoy your week and enjoy this very cool new product in the January to June 2022 Mini Catalog – Vellum Layering Designs. I love the delicate nature of vellum and all the fun things you can do with it. this new vellum has printed designs on one side – 6 designs 2 sheets each design some printed in black and some printed in white.
I used the cut from left over from Monday’s blog post and mounted the printed vellum to the frame to get around the issue of vellum’s translucent nature and adhesive issues! I mounted that onto a Basic Black mat and added to a Basic White standard card base.

I stamped the sentiment from the Create with Friends stamp set in Coastal Cabana ink on the same colored cardstock. I popped the sentiment up and added it to the top of the vellum focal point and stamped the Flowing Flowers large flower in Coastal Cabana ink and fussy cut the flower and popped it up as well. I added Black Glittered Organdy ribbon to finish off this card!
Enjoy! Try this vellum and go create some art of your very own – one stamp at a time!

making frames with concentric dies

making frames with concentric dies

One of the fun things you can do with any concentric die set is use two at the same time to make a frame Below in Misty Moonlight Cardstock I layered two concentric rectangule dies from the Scalloped Contour Die Set (#155560), ran it through my Mini Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine (Or as it is affectionately known among demonstrators as the “Mini boss!”
I used the “frame” section to make this first card by Layering a Black and White DSP 2 inch section from the Pattern Party DSP (#155426), then adhering the Misty Moonlight frame then a Basic White die cut rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly Die set (#151690). I topped the card front off with a black die cut from the Penned Flowers Dies (#155557) and added three Artistry Blooms Sequins (#152477)
The card above and below use the same outside die (the largest rectangular die from the Scalloped Contour Dies (#155560) but the layering smaller die is different with each card. The card above used the next concentric die from the Scalloped Contour die set, so there are scallops inside the frame as well! I layered a beautiful piece of Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Series paper (#155464) and die cut the large intricate flower die from the Penned Flowers die set. I popped up the sentiment from Art Gallery (#158201) on Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and added Gold Metallic Pearls to the sentiment image (146282).
The card below however uses the inside die cut from the Stitched Rectangles die set (#151820) for a more tailored look. I mounted a smaller piece of DSP cut from a smaller Stitched Rectangle die. Popped up a Flower image and the sentiment from the Hand Penned Petals Bundle (#155492) all mounted to a Fresh Freesia cardstock base (155613).
The next two cards are done from the same cut frame using both the positive and negative spaces from the die cutting!
The first card uses the frame created when two concentric Layering Circles dies are used (#151770) I layered a Highland Heather circle die in the center. added flowers and the sentiment from the Color and Contour Stamp set (#154994) and tghe sentiment is stamped on a die cut from the Scalloped Contour dies from the Color and Contour Bundle (##158356) I finished the card with a llittle bling from the 2021-2022 In Color Jewels (#155571)
The second card uses the negative space of the frame cut outs and used the lighter pattern on the back a more subtle look. I die cut Penned Flowers in Highland Heather Cardstocka nd added Pastel Pearls to the card (#154571)
In a version of Rip and Flip technique I cut DSP with two concentric dies from the Scalloped Contours dies and flipped the inside one to the opposite side! Used another pattern from the Pattern Party DSP and mounted the frame on a diagonal for some interest. Added sentiment, flower and Fresh Freesia open Weave Ribbon (#155615)
This last sample used the Stitched Rectangle dies but not two immediately next to one another so that the resulting frame is wider and with the lovely Hand Penned DSP you definitely want to show it off! I added a Basic Black cardstock Die from the largest floral image die from the Penned Flowers dies added Pastels Pearls and a popped up sentiment.to finish the card.
Hope you enjoyed this fun and simple way to get more use out of your die set! Now go and create art – one stamp at a time!
