It’s time to bid a fond farewell to another pairing – the Paisleys and Posies stamp set and the Paisley Framelits dies – neither part will be in the upcoming catalog, so if you want them, get them now. Here I made my own background with a number of the beautiful stamps and then highlighted one of them with a copper die cut.
Here I added some colour with the stampin’ write markers
And here’s one showcasing one of the beautiful sentiments in the set
This one showcases a die cut from the Paisley framelits dies
I hope you enjoyed today’s projects – if you need this stamp set and the dies, hurry before they are out of stock. Whilst the stamp set is guaranteed until May 25th, the dies are as supplies last.

As you may have suspected after yesterday’s post, this one features the Paisley Framelits Dies again! But my pile of copper foil cut outs is still waiting for use, today I used mint macaron. I expect to play some more later today…
I cut my piece of the beautiful Petals & Paisleys Specialty DSP to the same height as my delightful dijon card base – 4 1/4 inches and just 4″ wide to give me a wide border. The mat of mint macaron is just 1/8 inch wider – I love how it pulls the mint macaron out of the DSP. To make the banner, I first stamped the sentiment from the Suite Sayings set in delightful dijon on very vanilla. This is one of the great things about this DSP, it’s based on very vanilla. I like the warmer feel that this gives. Then I cut down my banner to a smidge under an inch so that it fit nicely in the triple banner punch. I was determined to get the decoration in that I’d cut with the Paisley Framelits Dies out of mint macaron, I started with a square sentiment and played around until the banner made more sense. So I’m happy to say that the banner was appropriately sized the first time (unusual!) to allow for the embellishment which I glued on using little dots of tombow glue. I then popped up the banner on dimensionals.

I’m feeling a little sad today; sometimes people behave in a totally unacceptable and hurtful way and your only choice is to walk away. But when you walk away, you’re always walking away FROM something that you probably liked; hence the sadness. So I wanted to focus on positives today and made this card to celebrate them – isn’t the sentiment beautiful? And I am now possibly ADDICTED to the paisley framelits dies and the matching Paisleys and Posies stamp set which can be bought together as a bundle.
I started by stamping the sentiment in versamark and sprinkled on the copper embossing powder. This meant that I had my placement down and could just fit all the paisleys and posies around. So I stamped a random assortment of the images in old olive, filling in spaces with some of the little stamps. But then I wanted to elevate one of them and match the copper by adding copper foil. I found that I could cut out a copper foil paisley shape which perfectly borders one of the stamped shapes – as long as you cut it out with its framelit and make it a touch smaller than it started. I glued this onto the copper with glue dots (it slides around otherwise) and then popped this up with dimensionals. Whilst I was cutting out the foil, I also cut out some of the other shapes and they are beautiful in foil. I’m certain I’ll be playing with these at the weekend or very soon – they won’t stay long on my “use later” pile.
This card might look familiar if you have looked at everything closely in the Holiday catalogue – I CASEd a card on page 46. If you don’t have a catalogue and would like one (and you’re in the US), let me know and I’ll pop one in the post.
