Extraordinary Flora Bundle & Washi Tape

Hello again,

I have used the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape (#165269) as well as the Extraordinary Flora Bundle (#165245) on this card. The bundle includes the Extraordinary stamp set (#165243) and the Extraordinary Flora dies (#165244).

I stamped the floral images with Basic Black Hybrid ink (#166648) and coloured the leaves with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885). The stamped images and the Washi tape were cut with the Dies. For the Washi Tape, I attached this to Basic White card (#166781) before cutting with the die.

For the card front I used one of the designs from the Luxe White Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167947) and coloured it with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) and a Blending Brush (#153611). This was matted with Flirty Flamingo card (#141421) and attached to the Basic White base card

The 2 circles were cut with the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580) and the square with the Tile Garden Dies (#168573). These 2 die sets have matching designs around the outside. The larger circle was cut from the Shimmering Stripes Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168197) and the square with the Silver Foil Sheet (#163387).

The sentiment is from the Begonia Belle stamp set #168592) and stamped with Basic Black ink.

The circles, square and floral images were attached to the card with tape, Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108)

Welcome friends,

The Tile Garden Dies (#168573) includes 12 square dies with 3 different designs around the edges. These designs are the same as the circle dies from the Spotlight In Nature (#163580).

I used the Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil Roll (#170066) with the Echos Of Detail Hot Foil Die (#170048), then I cut this with the Tile Garden Dies.

The Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) was also cut with these dies and I taped these together.

“For You” and the leaves are from the Words & Wishes dies (#167894). I used the gold from the Timeless Metallic Specialty Paper (#168548) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). The background for “For you” is Gorgeous Grape card.

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Softly Woven Embossing Folder (#168466) and matted with Gorgeous Grape card. The base card is Basic White.

Hello,

We all have left over designer paper which we just can’t throw away, so why not use it, like I have on this easy card.

Using the Tile Garden Dies (#168573), I cut a variety of pieces from the Scenic Coast Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167773).

I taped each of the squares to the Lunar Lustre Specialty Paper (#167199). This paper is in the Last Chance products, so available while stocks last. The card front was matted with Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The sentiment is from the Framed & Fabulous stamp set (#170573). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Silver Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was also cut with one of the dies and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The embellishments are from the retired Drusy Adhesive-Backed Embellishments.

Elegantly Wrapped Bundle

Hello everyone,

The latest catalogue is now available so I have used some of the products on today’s card.

I stamped the bow from the Elegantly Wrapped stamp set (#168474) using VersaMark (#102283) and Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) on Poppy Parade card (#121694). This was cut with a die from the Elegantly Wrapped dies (#168480).

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Swirls Of Magic Embossing Folder (#168179), then matted with Poppy Parade card and attached to the Basic White base card.

The 2 squares are cut with the Tile Garden dies (#168573) from Garden Poetry Designer Series Paper (#167113). These were taped together.

I used a die from the Bordered In Beauty dies (#167550) to cut the Gold Foil (#132622) “ribbons” and these were attached to the “present” with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) using Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (#170066). This is using the Negative foil with the Reverse Hot Foil Dies (#170043). When I do any hot foiling, I then do the negative image so I will always have lots of spare foiled pieces ready to use. “Happy Birthday was cut with the co-ordinating cutting die from the set.

I find when using the reverse image, I get the best results using smoother papers. Basic White, White Willow and Two-Tone card all give great results. The shine on the foil made this hard to photograph but the gold foiling is not mottled as it appears on this photo.

The ribbon and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I made my own embellishments using the excess gold hot foil from around the sentiment. These were cut with a die from the Noel Tidings dies (#168457) and attached with Mini Glue Dots.

Tile Garden dies

Hi & welcome again,

A sneak peek of some products available next week (1st September) from the new catalogue. I have used the Tile Garden dies (#168573) to cut the squares.

I cut 2 of the larger squares from Basic White card (#166785). I attached these together - one was placed as a square and the other as a diamond to create the shape.The small squares were cut from the Mosaic Garden Designer Series Paper (#168566) and attached them alternately to the larger white card.

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the retired Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder, then matted with Hydrangea Hue card (#167688) and attached to the Basic White base card.

“Thank You” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) using Silver Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (#170067). This was hot foiled onto Hydrangea Hue card. The co-ordinating cutting die cut the sentiment.

The small circle was cut using a die from the Stylish Shapes (#159183), dry embossed with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder and attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the sentiment and die cut “squares” to the card.

2026-2028 In Color Butterflies (#167656) were added to the card.

Tile Garden Bundle

Hi friends,

Here is a sneak peek of the Tile Garden Bundle (#168574) from the upcoming catalogue which is available from 1st September.

I stamped the small flower from the Tile Garden stamp set (#168567) using Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and Highland Heather ink (#147103) on Basic White card (#166781).

I cut the flowers, the Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) and the Highland Heather card (#147103) with the Tile Garden dies (#168573). These dies have the same designs around the edges as the round Spotlight On Nature dies.

I attached the Highland Heather flowers on the Gorgeous Grape squares and vice versa. The squares were then attached to the Basic White card which was matted with Gorgeous Grape card. The base card is Basic White.
