Nested Essentials – Stampin' with inkybutterfly

Double Texture with Die Cuts and Embossing Folders!

Hello Everyone!

Today I am using the Nested Essentials dies with the Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder to create a background packed with texture!

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….

Balmy Blue, Azure Afternoon and Blueberry Bushel inks were added over the embossed panel.

The sentiment was stamped in Crumb Cake ink to match the card base.

A rainbow blend can be achieved with any red, yellow and blue ink. I used Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight and Azure Afternoon!

The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

#Stampin Around the World Video Hop – October 2025 – Shapes!

Hi Everyone,

It’s time for the #StampinAroundtheWorld video hop!

Our theme is “Shapes”!

Links to all the other participants are listed in my video description over on You Tube. Please stop by, like and subscribe!

My project features the Nested Essentials dies which include these interesting shapes!

I used five die cuts to cover the card front. Three were cut from White cardstock and embossed with an embossing folder. The other two were cut from coordinating two tone cardstock.

Another smaller die cut was stamped with Petunia Pop ink and added with dimensionals.

Floral embellishments were created using the Extraordinary Flora Washi tape and die!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Encircled in Nature Three Ways!

Hello Everyone!

I have had this bundle on my shelf for ages, I can’t believe I haven’t inked this because it is fabulous…. And is now on the last chance list!

Sooooo … I’m cramming THREE ideas in today’s post – get it before it is gone for good!

***** ***** *****

This one is my favourite.

The scene was created on a Nested Essential die cut leaving the edge white.

The same ink was used on the card base layer and then added some iridescent striped ribbon.

***** ***** *****

I used the larger single tree image for this forest of Pretty in Pink, Petunia Pop, Berry Burst and Blackberry Bliss.

This is on Very Vanilla cardstock for a different look.

***** ***** *****

For this one I used the dies to create an aperture in some designer series paper.

More die cuts embellished the frame along with some Pecan Pie stitched ribbon.

The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Creating a Dimensional Background with Nested Essentials Dies!

Hello Everyone,

Here’s another background idea for you, this time using the Nested Essentials dies!

Six die cuts are needed, I used 3 in Basic White, 2 in Pool Party and 1 in Night of Navy.

The Basic White shapes were adhered first. The centre one was added last and helps with positioning the coloured pieces.

The sentiment is taken from Wonderful Thoughts and stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….

A combination of Thoughtful Wishes and Sentimental Park created the foliage and flowers. Some Wink of Stella pulled some colour from the stamped outline.

This card used Calypso Coral and Petal Pink, not my favourite colours, but look great together in this layout.

I also creating this version when I was designing today’s project. This one uses the smaller shape in Basic White. The flowers are in Melon Mambo and the sentiment in Pebbled Path.

The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Hi Everyone,

This has got to be one of my favourite cards this year… So pleased with the end result!

The feature product for this project is the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks, there are three backgrounds plus four layering elements to make these gorgeous sunflower style bloom.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial

Here you can see a more traditional colour combo using Daffodil Delight and Wild Wheat, with Copper Clay and Early Espresso!

I went a step further and tried another combo with Christmas in mind… I think I might need to work on what to do in the centres though.
