Metallic Textures Rub-Ons

Hello friends,

The Metallic Textures Rub-Ons (#165270) have a great range of designs in both gold & silver. These are so easy to apply and look fantastic on your projects.

I used the gold rub-ons for the “woodgrain” and the row of dots along the bottom of the card front. To use these, cut the design from the sheet, peel away the backing sheet. Then place the silver/adhesive side onto the paper, rub with your finger until the image transfers to the paper. Peel away the sheet to reveal the image. I cut the Basic White card (#166781) with the “woodgrain” with a Textured Notes die (#165555).

The card front was dry embossed with the (retired) Timber Embossing Folder and matted with Real Red card (#106578) then attached to the Basic White base card.

The Hibiscus from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set (#164877) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084), and using the stamping off method for the lighter colour. This was the cut & embossed with the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder (#164879). The leaves were also cut with the dies (included in the hybrid embossing folder), using Garden Green card (#108605).

The sentiment is from the More Messages stamp set (#165471), stamped with Real Red ink and cut with the More Messages die (#165472).

The “woodgrain” was taped to the card front. The sentiment & hibiscus were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the leaves.

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was added to the flower. The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to finish the card.

Happy Hibiscus Bundle

Hi again friends,

The Happy Hibiscus Bundle (#164880) consists of the Happy Hibiscus stamp set (#164877) and the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder (#164879). The hybrid embossing folder also includes the dies which co-ordinate with the stamp set and embossing folder, which allows you to cut and embossing the flowers at the same time.

I matted the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (#163303) with Highland Heather card (#147010) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The Highland Heather hibiscus flowers were cut and embossed with the Hybrid Embossing Folder. I added glimmer to the flowers with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

The leaves from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set were stamped with Coastal Cabana ink (#147097). The inside of the leaves were stamped using the stamping off method for a lighter image. These were then cut with the Happy Hibiscus dies.

“Happy Birthday” from the Unbounded Love stamp set (#163378) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099). The 2 circles were cut with the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580). The circles were taped to the card. The leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The beautiful embellishments are the Two-Tone Sparkle Gems (#164633).

Happy Hibiscus Bundle

Hi friends,

A lovely bright card using the Happy Hibiscus Bundle (#164880).

The Happy Hibiscus stamp set (#164877) has a trio of flowers on one stamp. There are 3 different sized flowers. I stamped these on different coloured card but only used the middle size flower for this card. I stamped Crushed Curry ink (#147087) onto Daffodil Delight card (#121680), Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138) onto Azure Afternoon card (#161728) and Calypso Coral ink (#147101) onto Peach Pie card (#163800).

The Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder (#164879) includes the dies. These can be used together or separately as normal. I set the die into the embossing folder, lined up the stamped image, then ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Embossing Machine (#149653). The leaves were cut from Granny Apple Green card (#147014) using dies from the same set.

“Sending Hugs” from the Layering Leaves stamp set (#161277) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Gold from the Wow! Metallics Embossing Powder (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). A die from the Linked Together dies (#164808) was used to cut the sentiment.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was embossed with the Happy Hibiscus embossing folder and matted with Azure Afternoon card. I wrapped the Glittered Organdy Ribbon (#156408) around the card front, then attached it to the Basic White base card.

The flowers & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the leaves. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) added glimmer to the flowers.

Happy Hibiscus

Hi friends,

The Happy Hibiscus Bundle (#164880) consists of the Happy Hibiscus stamp set (#164877) and the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder (#164879). All the Stampin’ Up! hybrid folders includes the embossing folder as well as the dies. One of the dies fits into the embossing folder allowing you to cut and embossing at the same time.

Firstly, using one of the Linked Together Decorative Masks (#164809), I blended the Summer Splash ink (#163809) using a Blending Brush (#153611) onto the Basic White card (#159228). Using another mask and using a Palette Knife (#142808) I applied Shimmery White Embossing Paste (#145645) on top. This needs to be set aside till it dries. If this is done first, it should be dry by the time you do all the other elements.

I stamped the image with the 3 flowers onto Real Red card (#106578) using Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083). I then placed the die into the embossing folder and line up the stamped image and cut & embossed it. The 3 flowers are cut into individual flowers. I have only used the 2 larger ones on this card. The leaves are cut with dies from the same dies using Summer Splash card (#163798).

I stamped the label with a stamp from the Bright Borders stamp set (#164753) using Summer Splash ink. “Happy Birthday” from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). This was then punched with the co-ordinating To The Point Label Punch (#164568).

Once the card front had dried, I matted it with the Summer Splash card and then Real Red card and attached it to the Basic White base card.

The flowers and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) for the leaves. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) added glimmer to the flowers.

Happy Hibiscus Bundle

Hi friends,

I have used a mix of products to make today’s card, including the Happy Hibiscus Bundle (#164880). This bundle includes the Happy Hibiscus stamp set (#164877) and the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder (#164897). This hybrid folder also includes the set of dies where the larger die with the 3 flowers will fit into the folder and cut and embossed at the same time. This folder & dies can also be used separately as normal, making them very versatile.

I stamped the trio of flowers with Poppy Parade ink (#147050) onto Poppy Parade card (#121694). Then I placed the die into the folder, lined up the stamped image and put it through the Stamp & Embossed machine using the embossing plates. I have only used the larger flower for this card.

Using Gold Foil Sheet (#132622), backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), I cut the lattice from the Linked Together Dies (#164808). I also cut the arch from the Gold Foil sheet and the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393) with the Everyday Arches Dies (#164629).

The gold arch was attached to the DSP with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The lattice was attached to a piece of Basic White card (#159228), making sure you have it placed where the arch is. I taped the DSP with the arch onto the Basic White card then matted this with Poppy Parade card.

The leaves were cut with dies from the Happy Hibiscus dies using Season Of Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164144).

The flower was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and the leaves with Mini Glue Dots.

The sentiment is from Sentimental Park stamp set (#160561. This sentiment is actually “Let’s Celebrate” but I only wanted “celebrate” for this card. When I inked this, I covered “Let's” with a post it note, inked “celebrate”, with Poppy Parade ink, removed the post it note and stamped the sentiment. This is an easy way to stamp part of a stamp. I cut this with a Delicate Forest die (#162679). This die is too large so I cut the sentiment close to one end of the word, then turned the die around and cut close to the other end of the word. The sentiment was then attached with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional and Mini Glue Dots.

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used on the flower and the Antique Pearls 164679) were added to finish the card.

Happy Hibiscus

Hi friends,

I have combined a card from the Card Keeper Kit (#164377) with the Happy Hibiscus Bundle (#164880) for today’s card.

There are 2 different cards from the Card Keeper Kit and there are 2 designs on each card as shown below.

I have also used 2 of the die cut green leaves and the gold leaves from the kit.

I stamped the flowers from the Happy Hibiscus stamp set (#164877) with VersaMark (#102283) onto Lemon Lolly card (#161729), then I added the White from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165679). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The flowers were then cut and embossed with the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder (#164879). I also added an extra touch of colour around the outside of the petals with a dauber and Lemon Lolly ink (#161666).

I cut the leaves from the Happy Hibiscus dies using Old Olive card (#106576) and Mossy Meadow card (#133683). The gold trim is left over from the Christmas Ornaments Kit (#164378).

All the leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems (#163780) were added to the flower centres.

I stamped the outlines of the flowers with Real Red ink (#147084), then I stamped the inside with Real Red ink “stamped off” to achieve the lighter colour. I then cut and embossed the flowers with the die & embossing folder.

The leaves are also cut with the dies. I used Granny Apple Green card (#147014) and Lemon Lime Twist card (#144250).

“Congratulations” is from the same stamp set and stamped with Real Red ink. A die from Happy Hibiscus dies was used to cut the sentiment.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the embossing folder and matted with Real Red card (#106578). This was taped to the Basic White base card.

The flowers & sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I used Mini Glue dots (#103683) to attach the leaves . Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the flowers.
