Luxe Foliage Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

A pretty card with lots of gold including the Luxe Foliage Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168599) which is September’s Product Of The Month.

For the Basic White card front (#166781) I used the now retired Eyelet Blooms Die, the added the strip of the DSP to the left side.

The Gold Foil Sheets (#132622) were used for the leaves, and cut with a Nature’s Symphony Die (#166925). I attached these to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) and I used the Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (#170066). This is using the Reverse Plate (#170043), then cut with the co-ordinating cutting die. The sentiment was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The gold Flower Accents (#165171) were added to finish the card.

The card front was matted with Peaceful Pine card (#167692) and attached to the Basic White base card.

Fragrant Layers stamp set

Hello again stamping friends,

I have used the Fragrant Layers stamp set (#167150) for the flowers, which is a Two Step stamp set.

I stamped the outline of the floral image with Basic Black Hybrid Stampin’ Pad (#166648) onto Basic White card (#166781). The flowers were stamped with Timid Tiger ink (#165278) and I used Lost Lagoon ink (#161678) for the leaves. I cut this with a Phrases & Frames die (#167586). As this is an Impressions die, I used the same die for the frame using the Impressions Plate (#167767) and Timid Tiger card (#165298). I attached Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) on the back of the frame & stamped card to hold them together, then attach them to the card front.

The card front was die cut with the Eyelet Blooms die (#167984) and matted with Lost Lagoon card (#133686). This was attached to the Basic White base card.

“It’s your day” is from the Fragrant Layers stamp set and stamped with Lost Lagoon ink. This was cut with a Stitched Stocking die (#168230). The gold butterfly is from the Gilded Wings Accents (#169953) and the embellishments are Pearlised Faceted Circles (#166978).

I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add glimmer to the flowers.

Eyelet Blooms Die

Hello again friends,

Here is a variation of a card I posted on 16th May (using the Moonlit Flora Suite). Today I have used a variety of products including the beautiful Eyelet Blooms die (#167984) for the card front.

The Basic White card front (#166781) was then matted with Bubble Bath card (#161727) and attached to the Basic White base card.

I cut 3 pieces of the Splash Of Sparkles Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167200) with a die from the Paradise Garden dies (#167120). These were attached to a piece of Window Sheet (#142314), then I cutnthe circle with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach this to the card.

The butterflies from All Aflutter stamp set (#167564) were heat embossed with VersaMark (#102283) and Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I then coloured them with Stampin’ Blends - Bubble Bath (#161675), Fresh Freesia (#155518) and Highland Heather (#154887). The co-ordinating All A Flutter punch (#167569) was used to punch the butterflies.

The Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) was used for the leaves which was cut with a Fern & Flora die (#168991). This was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) and attached to the card. The Butterflies were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Congratulations” from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) was also Gold embossed and cut with a die from the Paradise Garden. This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Happy Mother’s Day

Hello & a special Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mum’s.

This heart was made using a die from the Everyday Arches dies (#164629). I cut 2 pieces from the Bubble Bath card (#161727) and placed them together to form a heart.

For the Basic White card front (#166781) I used the Eyelet Blooms die (#167984) only with the Impressions Plate (#167767) for this lovely embossed effect. This was matted with Berry Burst card (#144249) and attached to the Basic White base card.

“Happy Mother’s Day” is from a retired stamp set and “With Love” is from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243). A die from the Stylish Shapes (#159183) was used for “Happy Mother’s Day” and a Fragrant Layers die (#167154) was used for “With Love”.

The butterflies from All Aflutter stamp set (#167564) were stamped with Berry Burst ink (#147143), then punched with the All Aflutter punch (#167569).

The sentiments and heart were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the butterflies. I coloured the Antique Pearls (#164679) with Berry Burst Stampin Blends (#161681) before attaching them to the card.

Eyelet Blooms die

Hi everyone,

I love the large Eyelet Blooms die (#167984) which I have used for the card front on this card. I have also used 3 of the new 2026-2028 In-colors.

After cutting the Basic White card front (#166781) with the die, it was matted with the Crisp Cantaloupe from the 2026-2028 In-Color Pearlised Specialty Paper (#167766).

The background of the “Thank You” was also cut with this Specialty paper and the white card for the words is the Luxe White Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167947). This paper has a design on it which you may not be able to see in the photo.

The leaves cut with a die from the Fern & Flora dies (#168991) is cut from the Peaceful Pine card also from the Pearlised Specialty Paper.

The butterflies from All Aflutter stamp set 167564) were stamped with Hydrangea Hue ink (#167677) and punched with the co-ordinating All Aflutter punch (#167569).

I glued the Thank You to the coloured card and the card front to the matted piece with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). I also glued the ferns to the card. The butterflies and sentiment were then attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are from the 2026-2028 In Color Dots (#167546).
