Pretty Poinsettia Dies

Hello again friends,

I love the poinsettia from the Pretty Poinsettia dies (#168146) so have made the flowers white for this Birthday card for something different.

The flower and leaves from these dies are impressions dies, which means to get a deeper emboss, you use an Impressions plate (#167767) after cutting with the dies. I used Basic White card (#166781) and Soft Sea Foam card (#147012). I daubered some Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) around the edges of the Soft Sea Foam leaves. The layers were attached together with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the flower and leaves.

The silver leaves were cut with a Beautifully Celebrated die (#166974) from Silver Foil Sheet (#163387) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The sentiments are from the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies (#170052). These dies include the cutting dies to cut the sentiments. I used Silver Stampin’ Hot foil (#170067).

I matted the Basic White card front with Soft Sea Foam card and attached it to the Basic White base card. I cut strips of the Luxe White Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167947) and taped them to the card front. The flower was attached with a Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430) and the sentiments with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108), which were cut in half. The adhesive backed leaves were attached to the card.

Silver Hot Foils

Hi everyone,

I was having a clean up of my craft table (seems to be never ending) and came across some left over pieces so made this card with them.

The base card is Lemon Lolly (#161729). This was cut 10.5cm x 28.8cm and scored in half, then the card front was scored in half again.

The Luxe White Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167947) was attached to the card front. Another piece was attached to the inside Basic White card (#166781) using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I cut a piece of Lemon Lolly card with a Scalloped Blooms die (#167646) then dry embossed it with the Floral Spray 3D Embossing Folder (#167946). The bottom half of the scalloped card was attached to the card front.

The butterfly and sentiment are both hot foiled with Silver Foil (#170067). The butterfly is from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045) and the sentiment from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042). I used Daffodil Delight card (#121680) for the butterfly and added extra colour with the Butterfly Flight Masks (#170076) using Crushed Curry ink (#147087) and a Blending Brush (#153611). Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to attach the butterfly and sentiment. I added the extra butterfly embellishments from the 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies (#167656).

Luxe White Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi again everyone,

I hope this is the last Sympathy card I need to make for a while. I have used 2 of the designs from the Luxe White Specialty Paper (#167947) for the background.

The 2 pieces of DSP were matted with the Lemon Lolly from the Pastel Shimmer Specialty Paper (#167198), then attached to the Basic White base card. I used a full sheet of A4 and folded it in half for the card.

I have used the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045) for the butterfly and this was also foiled onto the Lemon Lolly Pastel Shimmer Specialty Paper.

The sentiment from the retired Peace On Earth stamp set was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment and the frame were cut with a Phrases & Frames Impressions die (#167586). The sentiment and butterfly were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Phrases & Frames Bundle

Hello again friends,

A pretty card using new products from the new catalogue.

The Phrases & Frames Bundle (#167587) consists of the Phrases & Frames stamp set (#167581) and Phrases & Frames Impressions dies (#167586). For these impressions dies, you cut your card as usual with the die, then using an Impressions Plate (#167767), run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine again to get a deeper embossed impression. The frame was cut and embossed with this. I used the Hydrangea Hue from 2026-2028 In-Color Pearlised Specialty Paper (#167766) for the frame.

The 2 sentiments are from the Phrases & Frames stamp set and stamped with the Hydrangea Hue ink (#167677). These were cut with the Phrases & Frames dies, just using the inside part of the frames.

The card front is from the Luxe White Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167947) and this was matted with the Hydrangea Hue Pearlised Specialty Paper, then attached to the Basic White Base card (#166781). The frame & sentiments were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The butterflies from the All Aflutter stamp set (#167564) were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added Silver Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). These were punched with the co-ordinating All Aflutter punch (#167569). The butterflies were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The Embellishments are from the 2026-2028 In-Color Dots (#167546).
