Gold Hot Foiling

Hello friends,

Another card with Hot Foiling and using the Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170066) for “Happy Birthday”.

I used the Luxe Alphabet & Numbers Hot Foiling Dies (#170044) for the letters for “Happy”. They have a co-ordinating cutting die to cut each individual letter at the one time. For “Birthday” I used the Gold Foil with the Reverse Hot Foil Die (#170043), then cut it with a Words & Wishes Die (#167894).

The DSP is from the beautiful August Product Of The Month which is Glow Of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168598). I cut the front piece with a Perennial Postage die (#162607) and matted it with Cajun Craze card (#121683), then attached it to another of the Glow Of Harvest DSP. This was then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The sentiment was glued with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper

Hello again friends,

For a quick & easy card you can’t go past some designer series paper and some dies, as I have used on today’s card.

The 3 strips of Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper (#167737) were attached to the Golden Glow card (#167686), then this was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“Happy Birthday” is cut with the Words & Wishes dies (#167894). I used Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) for the background of the sentiment and Golden Glow card for the words. This card was backed with Adhesive sheet (#152334) so it is easy to attach this to the background card. The sentiment was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The embellishments are from the 2026-2028 In Color Dots (#167546). I also used the Golden Glow Shimmer Brush (#167662) on the words to give some extra colour & shimmer.

Valley In Bloom Designer Series Paper

Welcome again everyone,

This beautiful DSP is from the Valley In Bloom Designer Series Paper (#167935).

I cut the designer paper and the Bubble Bath card (#161727) with Nested Essentials dies (#161597).

I attached another piece of the DSP to the bottom of the Basic White card front (#166781), then this was matted with Bubble Bath card, and attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment is from the Phrases & Frames stamp set (#167581). This was stamped onto Granny Apple Green card (#147014) with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the White powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). A Words & Wishes die (#167894) was used to cut the sentiment. The small banners were attached to each end of the sentiment, then this was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

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.

The DSP and the 2 die cut pieces were taped to the card. The koala was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“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).

Mini Alphabet Dies

Hi friends,

I have used the Mini Alphabet Dies (#162934) for the individual letters on this card. I have just realised I have used all dies and no stamping on this card.

I dry embossed the Basic White card (#166781) with a retired Merry Melody embossing folder. I added a narrow piece of Blueberry Bushel card (#146991) to the sides. As this is a square folder and I couldn't emboss the whole card front, I embossed 2 smaller pieces for the sides and attached them to the Blueberry Bushel base card and attached the larger pieces on top.

I cut the squares and “diamonds” with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183). The squares are cut from Hydrangea Hue card (#167688) and for the “diamonds” I used the 2026-2028 In Color Painted Patterns designer Series Paper (#167755).

For “Happy” and the letters I also used Blueberry Bushel card. The background of “happy” is Hydrangea Hue card. “Happy” is from the Words & Wishes dies (#167894). “11” is cut with the retired Alphabet A La Mode dies.

I used the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755) to attach the letters, numbers & “happy” to the card. I taped the diamonds to the squares, then taped the squares to the card.

Scenic Coast Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello everyone,

The stunning Scenic Coast 6”x6” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167773) features vivid colours with Iridescent Pearl on the coastal sunset designs. I made a larger card - 15x15cm - as I didn't want to cut off too much of the beautiful DSP.

The DSP was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781). I cut a circle from the Spotlight On Nature Dies (#163580) from Balmy Blue card (#147007). I then cut the lighthouse scene using a Sunset Coast die (#167780). This was glued to the DSP with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

“Best Wishes” was cut with the Words & Wishes dies (#167894). I cut these with Crushed Curry card (#131288) and Blueberry Bushel card (#146991). Both cards were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). I attached the Crushed Curry words then offset slightly with the Blueberry Bushel words to create a “shadow” effect.

The shells & starfish were cut with another die from the Sunset Coast dies and I used Crumb Cake card (#121685). These were also glued to the card. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was added to the lighthouse, shells & starfish.

The cats from the Cutest Crew stamp set (#167146) are stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) and cut with the co-ordinating Cutest Crew die (#167148). I then fussy cut each of the cats, as the die cuts all the cats in one piece. The cats were coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Crumb Cake (#154882), Smoky Slate (#154904) and Golden Glow (#167682).

“Happy Birthday Wishes” are cut with the Words & Wishes dies (#167894) from Petunia Pop card (#163802) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The card front is from the Pastels Shimmer Specialty Paper (#167198) and I dry embossed this with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder (#167097). The card front was matted with Petunia Pop card and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781). The cats were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimenensionals (#144108). The (retired) Brushed Brass Butterflies were added to complete the card.
