For the Love of Sunflowers ...

I love Sunflowers and this embossing folder was the1st product to be placed in my shopping cart.

I used the Sunflower 3D embossing folder on Basic White cardstock and fussy cut around the flowers and leaves.  Using Stampin' Write markers I colored the Sunflowers with Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry.  I used Mossy Meadow and Old Olive for the leaves.  A little Wink of Stella on the leaves and the center of the Sunflowers where I used Pecan Pie Stampin' Write markers.

As we know the Stampin' Write markers are being phased out and are on Last Chance list.  I used Crushed Curry (Regals), Daffodil Delight (Brights), Mossy Meadow (Neutrals), Old Olive (Regals) and Pecan Pie (Neutrals).  These can also be purchased as a bundle which includes Brights, Neutrals, Regals and Subtles.  I will include the 3 selections I used as well as the link for the bundle in Products Used at the end of this post.  These are water based and the same ink as our Classic Ink Pads.  I have had mine for quite a long time and have not run out of ink in one yet.

I also used the embossing folder for the front of the card base as well as the flap of the envelope.

Daffodil Delight ribbon (R) and I used Blooming Phrases to stamp the greeting.  The greeting is stamped with Pecan Pie and cut with a retired die set, Heart Shaped (R) January 2025 Sale-a-bration.


Card base (Very Vanilla):4-¼ " x 11" Score @ 5-½"
Mat (Pecan Pie): 4" x 5-¾"
Sunflower Embossed Layer (Basic White): 3-⅞" x 5-⅛"
Daffodil Delight Ribbon 13" to tie bow - 6-¾" without bow

This embossing folder is so nice and I hope if you have purchased it that you will visit my Facebook page, CreatingWithTina and send me a message with your design and details as I would love to post it and acknowledge you for your hard work.

Happy creating,

Party Alphabet & Party Banner Dies ...

My 2 photos are for the end of my OnStage 2025 Raleigh, NC scrapbook trip.  This coming year, 2026 the US event will be held in Long Beach, CA.  I thought these pics would be fitting to close my current album.

I love the new Party Alphabet and Party Banner Dies. The Alpha dies are great for Memory Keeping/Scrapbooking and can also be used on card fronts for short greetings. These will go through the Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine as well as the regular size machine.


I used Memories in Bloom Scrapbooking Workshop for using design #1 making a couple of changes with the chosen DSP and I used Pretty in Pink (R) ribbon instead of a strip of DSP near the top. One photo instead of 3 and I also added an additional strip of the Secret Sea Special DSP at the bottom. 

Alphabet Dies are placed with Dimensionals using DSP from the Workshop. I also used an Optional Paper Pumpkin Die from the 2024 July, Aug, Sept Every Celebration set for Hooray on the right page. I placed a scrap of Pretty in Pink cardstock and a scrap of the DSP used for the title using a small piece of our Adhesive Sheets product and ran that through my Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine. 

Photos are double matted with Strawberry Slush & Basic White cardstock.  I embossed the Strawberry Slush cardstock with Painted Texture (R) Embossing Folder and used Dimensionals.  The Basic White is for my journaling and I also used Dimensionals for even more depth.  I also placed Gold Twisted Thread (R) behind the Journaling piece left page.


Measurements Left Page: 
    (You can also place "B" and then just place the remaining pieces, C through F up 
    against the bottom edge of the piece above to avoid having to measure)

A = 12" x 12"
B = 13" X ⅜" (Place @ 2-½")
C = 12" x 6-¾" (Place @ 2-⅞")
D = 12" x ¾" (Place @ 8-½")
E = 12" x ¾" (Place @ 9-¾")
F = 12" x ½" (Place @ 10-⅞")       

Measurements for Right Page are the same as above.   

The "C" alpha die cut on the left page is placed 3" in from left and the "R" is placed ¾" in from left on the right page. 

Place photo(s) and Journaling Mat where they work best for you.

Embellish to make it yours. 

If you use this layout please message me with a photo and your details as I would love to post it on my Creating With Tina FB page and give credit to you :)

Happy crafting ...
