Scalloped Blooms dies

Hello,

A fancy fold card today using the Scalloped Blooms dies (#167646).

The largest scalloped circles were cut from the Lunar Lustre Specialty Paper (#167199).

I used the Botanical Glow Hot Foil die (#170056) with Silver Foil (#170067) on Basic White card (#166781), then I stamped the leaves from the Botanical Glow stamp (#170054) with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). I did 2 of these pieces and they were cut with a smaller Scalloped Blooms dies. I also cut a piece of the Hydrangea Hue card (#167688) with the same die, then dry embossed it with the Paradise Garden embossing folder (#167120). These 3 pieces were attached to the Lunar Lustre scalloped circles.

I attached the 3 circles to a piece of Basic White card, the full length of an A4 card and 5cm wide, then scored at both ends at 9.5cm.

The butterflies are also hot foiled with Silver Foil on the Hydrangea Hue from the 2026-2028 In Color Pearlised Specialty Paper (#167766). The butterflies are from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045) and I added some extra colour with a Blending Brush (#153611), Hydrangea Hue ink (#167677) and one of the Butterfly Flight Masks (#170076). I also used a small butterfly on Basic White card.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) and cut with the co-ordinating die from that set. The butterflies & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Sunflower embossing folder

Hi everyone,

I love the look of an almost all white card with a pop of colour like today’s card.

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder (#166145), then attached to the Basic White base card.

The 2 scalloped circles were cut with the Scalloped Blooms dies (#167646). I stamped the floral image from the Fern & Flora stamp set (#167739) onto the smaller circle using the Basic Black Hybrid Stampin’ Pad (#166648). This was coloured with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#154883) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). The larger circle was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment is from the All Aflutter stamp set (#167564) and stamped with Crushed Curry ink (#147087). I chose to only use part of the sentiment so I masked “today” so it wasn't inked, then removed the mask before stamping. The sentiment was then punched with the Three Banner punch (#167050) and attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

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).

Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Paper

Hi everyone,

The Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Paper (#167752) is a pack of black & white designs which you can use as is or colour, which I did on these vases of flowers.

I fussy cut the images before colouring with Stampin’ Blends - Lost Lagoon (#161680), Peaceful Pine (#167668), Smoky Slate (#154904) and Balmy Blue (#154830). I also used the new Shimmer Brushes - Crisp Cantaloupe (#167661), Hydrangea Hue (#167663) and Peaceful Pine (#167665). These shimmer brushes colour and add shimmer at the same time.

I cut the Crisp Cantaloupe from the 2026-2028 In Colour Pearlised Specialty Paper (#167766) with a Scalloped Blooms die (#167646). This was attached to the Basic White card front (#166781) which was dry embossed with the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder (#167179). This was matted with Basic Black card (#121688), then attached to the Basic White base card.

The vases of flowers were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The sentiment from the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (#164862) was added with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The embellishments are from the 2026-2028 In Color Dots (#167546).

Scalloped Blooms

Hello everyone,

I have used the Scalloped Blooms dies (#167646) for today’s card.

I used the largest Scalloped Blooms circle die to cut the Basic White base card (#166781). The base card was scored & folded in half and I cut the 2 pieces at one time with the die as shown below.

I used the same die to cut the Hydrangea Hue card (#167688) and attached it on top of the base card.

Using the next size smaller die I cut the Delicate Dreams Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167498) and a piece of Basic White card (for the inside). The DSP was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment from Phrases & Frames stamp set (#167581) was stamped with Hydrangea Hue ink (#167677). The sentiment and the Hydrangea Hue card behind the sentiment were cut with Scalloped Blooms dies. These die cut pieces were taped to the card.

For the inside, I cut a small amount from the top to fit it into the card. The edges were daubered with Hydrangea Hue ink and I stamped the leaf from the Delicate Whispers stamp set (#167500.

To finish the card I added the butterflies from the 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies (#167656).

Wild Bunch stamp set

Hello again friends,

How cute are the animals in the Wild Bunch stamp set (#167987) including this koala. This stamp set is the June Product Of The Month which is available to purchase with a qualifying order.

I stamped the Koala with Gray Granite ink (#147118) onto Basic White card (#166781). I coloured it with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#154882) and Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675). I then fussy cut the koala.

The DSP for the card front is from the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper (#167737) and I matted this with Peaceful Pine card (#167692) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

The strip of DSP is from the Valley In Bloom Designer Series Paper (#167935). I used a die from the Scalloped Blooms dies (#167646) to cut the Basic Beige card (#164512) and Bubble Bath card (#161727). The Basic Beige card was dry embossed with the Textured Tree Ring Embossing Folder (#168220) which will be available in the July Online Exclusives.

“Best Wishes” from the Words & Wishes dies (#167894) was cut with Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper (#165901). This was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), so all you need to do is remove the backing and attach the words to the card.

I added glimmer to the koala using the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) and the embellishments are from the 2026-2028 In Color Dots (#167546).
