Timeless Celebrations Bundle

Hi friends,

Another sneak peek today, this time with the Timeless Celebrations Bundle (#169859). This includes the Timeless Celebrations stamp set (#169853) and the Timeless Celebrations Hybrid Embossing Folder (#169858). The Hybrid embossing folder also includes the dies that co-ordinate with this set.

The Basic White card (#166781) was cut and embossed at the one time. I taped these pieces to the Real Red base card (#106578).

The flowers from the stamp set were stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) and cut with the dies. The leaves were cut from Granny Apple Green card (#147014) and Lemon Lime Twist card (#144250). Both these cards were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) for easy attaching to the card. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the flowers.

“Sending Hugs” is from the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies (#170052) using Red Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170552). I then used the Reverse Plate (#170043) with the “leftover” foil. This gives you the reverse colours and I used this for the sentiment. I also cut the small flowers from the unused edges of the foil piece and these were glued to the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). I also cut 2 of the small flowers from the Gold Timeless Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168548) and glued them to the stamped flower centres. I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add glimmer to the flowers.

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.

Framed & Fabulous Hot Foil Dies

Hello friends,

Yes, more hot foiling on this card, using the Framed & Fabulous Hot Foil Dies (#170578) as well as others.

Many of the Hot Foil dies include both the hot foiled dies and cutting dies like this one.

I hot foiled the circle of fine lines from the Framed & Fabulous Hot Foil dies using Green Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (#170555) onto Gold Foil Sheets (#132622). This was then cut with one of the cutting dies from the set. I then used the left over green foil on Basic White card (#166781) using the Reverse Hot Foil Plate (#170043), and then I cut this with another of the cutting dies with the scalloped edge. This was dry embossed with the Textured Tree Ring 3D Embossing Folder (#168220).

The flower is from the Garden Silhouette Hot Foil Dies (#170041) and I used Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (#170066). This flower was fussy cut from the larger image and was a left over from a previous project. I now have a huge range of “leftover” foiled images & sentiments which are very handy when making a card.

“Just A Little Hello” was also gold foiled and is from the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies (#170052). This also has a cutting die to cut all the sentiments in this set.

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the now retired Dotted Circles Embossing Folder and attached to the Basic White base card. Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the die cut Gold Foil Sheet to the card. The green foil & flower were taped and the sentiment was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Botanical Glow Hot Foil Bundle

Hello everyone,

You might think I am obsessed with the Stampin’ Hot Foil System (#170012), well you are right. I just love the professional look these foils give to your projects.

I hot foiled the leaves onto the Garden Poetry Designer Series Paper (#167113) from the Botanical Glow Hot Foil dies (#170056) using Gold Foil (#170066). I then stamped the leaves from the Botanical Glow stamp set (#170054) using Pool Party ink (#147107). This was double matted with Berry Burst card (#144249) and Daffodil Delight card (#121680), then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I used the Light Pink Foil (#170068) for the butterflies from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045). Using the co-ordinating Butterfly Flight Decorative Masks (#170076), I coloured the butterflies with Bubble Bath ink (#161664), Strawberry Slush ink (#165286) and Berry Burst ink (#147143). These were cut with the co-ordinating open dies.

“Sending Hugs” is from the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies (#170052) and I used the Gold Foil. The open dies were used to cut the sentiments. There are 11 sentiments which can all be hot foiled at one time then all cut with the die. I put the remainder sentiments aside so I always have some sentiments on hand.

The butterflies were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) for the sentiment. The die cut leaves are from the Butterfly Flight dies and they were cut from Peaceful Pine card (#167692) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). The sentiments are from the Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots (#166139).

Echos Of Detail Hot Foil Dies

Hello again stamping friends,

I am having so much fun with the Stampin’ Hot Foil System (#170012). I have used 2 of the dies on today’s card, for the background and the sentiment.

The gold foil background is from the Echos Of Detail Hot Foil Dies (#170048). This was applied to Pool Party card (#124391). I then cut the top and bottom of this card with the dies from the Bordered In Beauty dies (#167556).

I dry embossed the Lost Lagoon card (#133686) with the Fern & Flora Embossing Folder (#167744) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#166781). The Pool Party card was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The leaf from the Natures Symphony dies (#166925) was cut from Pretty Peacock card (#150886). This was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

I used the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies (#170052) for the sentiment. This set has 11 different sentiments with a cutting die to cut them. These are great to have on hand for any card. “Thank You” was also attached with Mini Glue Dots. The embellishments the Flower Accents (#165171).

The Echos of Detail Hot Foil Dies has 3 designs, the other 2 designs are brickwork and French damask. There is also a stamp set which co-ordinates with it - Echos Of Detail stamp set (#170046). Of course these are also available as a bundle - Echos Of Detail Bundle (#170049).
