Somewhere In Time Designer Series Paper

Hello everyone & welcome,

This week on November 3rd there is a new release of products in the Online Exclusives, including the beautiful Somewhere In Time Designer Series Paper (#169851). This has a range of floral designs with a soft neutral palette in Basic Beige, Basic Black, Very Vanilla & White Willow. I have used 2 of the designs for this card.

I attached the 2 pieces of DSP to the Vanilla Textured Canvas Specialty Paper (#169774) and matted this with Real Red card (#106578). This was attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#166785).

The Butterfly is from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045) and I foiled this with Red Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170552) onto the Gold Paper from the Timeless Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168548). The co-ordinating cutting die was used to cut the butterfly.

I attached a strip of the Red Paper from the Timeless Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper to the card. The sentiment is from the Birthday Shoutout stamp set (#169840), also available this week. I stamped this with Real Red ink (#147084) using the Stampin’ Positioner (#167768) and restamped it with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Clear powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679) and heat it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment was cut with a cutting die from the Flourish & Frames Hot Foil Dies (#170064).

The butterfly & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Flower Accents (#165171) were attached to the card.

Rainbow Stampin’ Hot Foil Rols

Hi again everyone,

This is the 3rd card I have made using the shells from the Tide & Treasure Hot Foil Dies (#170712) with just one piece of the gorgeous Rainbow Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (#170709).

These shells are the ones that don't cut out with the cutting dies so I have fussy cut them. I have used another piece of the Rainbow Foil for the sentiment from the Classic Greetings dies (#170042) which was cut with the co-ordinating cutting die. This is using the Reverse Plate (#170043) with the 2nd foiling.

The Balmy Blue card front (#147007) was dry embossed with the retired Birch Wood embossing folder and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The shells and sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

An easy card when most of the work is already done.

Tide & Treasures Hot Foil Dies

Hi friends,

Today I am using the shells from the Tide & Treasures Hot Foil Dies (#170712) that were left from yesterday’s card. The shells are part of one large die and the cutting dies cut out 6 of the shells, so I was left with the uncut shells which I fussy cut for this card.

I used the Rainbow Stampin’ Hot Foil roll (#170709) and this image is using the foil with the Reverse Plate (#170043) after the original image was foiled. “Happy Birthday” from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil dies (#170042) was also hot foiled with the Rainbow Foil.

The shells were taped to the Shimmering Stripes Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168197), then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781). The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

An easy card when most of the work is already done.

Tide & Treasures Hot Foil Dies

Hello again everyone,

You probably realise by now that I love the Hot Foiling, so I couldn't wait to play with the latest products which will be available in November. Here I have used the Tide & Treasures Hot Foil Dies (#170712). This set includes the Hot Foil dies as well as the co-ordinating cutting dies.

I have used the Rainbow Stampin’ Hot Foil Roll (#170709) for the shells. I then used the Reverse Plate (#170043) with the “leftover” foil. You don't want to waste any of the foil. The shells were then cut with the cutting dies.

For the card front I used the Silver Opal Stampin’ Hot Foil Roll (#170554) with the Reverse Plate, then dry embossed this with the Sunray Embossing Folder (#169834). This was matted with Secret Sea card (#165296) and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“Celebrate” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) using Silver Opal Stampin’ Hot Foil on Secret Sea Two Tone card (#166709) with the “leftover” foil and the Reverse Plate.

The shells & sentiment were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

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.
