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).

Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies

Hello again friends,

When you purchase the Stampin’ Hot Foil System (#170012), the Metallic Magic craft class is included (till the end of the year). This is such a fun and informative class. Today’s card is my variation of one of the cards demonstrated.

I used the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) for the greeting and I used the Gold foil (#170066) on Basic White card (#166781).

I cut the Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper (#167553) with the Happy Birthday open die. The sentiment was lined up with the cut out and the DSP was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). This was then attached to the Basic White base card.

I used Silver Foil (#170067) for the butterflies from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045) on Two Tone Crushed Curry cardstock (#166670). I then added colour using the Butterfly Flight Decorative Masks which are included in the Butterfly Flight Bundle (#170076). I used Golden Glow ink (#167676) and Crisp Cantaloupe ink (#167680) and applied these colours with Blending Brushes (#153611). The open dies from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies were used to cut the butterflies.

The butterflies were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The embellishments are from the 2026-2028 In Color Dots (#167546).

Relaxing Waterside bundle

Hello & welcome,

The Relaxing Waterside Bundle (#167928) is great for masculine cards.

All the stamped images and sentiment are from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set (#167922) and stamped onto Very Vanilla card (#166785). I stamped the chair & sentiment with VersaMark (#102283) and used the Copper powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set this with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The grass was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111) and the cup with Crushed Curry ink (#147087). The chair, grass & cup were cut with the Relaxing Waterside dies (#167927). I used a Stitched Stocking die (#168230) to cut the sentiment. The Pecan Pie card (#161726) under the sentiment was cut with a Bordered In Beauty die (#167556). This was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), which I generally use for more detailed die cuts, making it easy to attach to the card.

The 3 strips of DSP from the Woodgrain Wonders Designer Series Paper (#167428) were attached to the Pecan Pie card, then the card front was attached to the Very Vanilla base card. The Faux Bronze Pentagons are the embellishments used.

Fragrant Layers stamp set

Hello again stamping friends,

I have used the Fragrant Layers stamp set (#167150) for the flowers, which is a Two Step stamp set.

I stamped the outline of the floral image with Basic Black Hybrid Stampin’ Pad (#166648) onto Basic White card (#166781). The flowers were stamped with Timid Tiger ink (#165278) and I used Lost Lagoon ink (#161678) for the leaves. I cut this with a Phrases & Frames die (#167586). As this is an Impressions die, I used the same die for the frame using the Impressions Plate (#167767) and Timid Tiger card (#165298). I attached Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) on the back of the frame & stamped card to hold them together, then attach them to the card front.

The card front was die cut with the Eyelet Blooms die (#167984) and matted with Lost Lagoon card (#133686). This was attached to the Basic White base card.

“It’s your day” is from the Fragrant Layers stamp set and stamped with Lost Lagoon ink. This was cut with a Stitched Stocking die (#168230). The gold butterfly is from the Gilded Wings Accents (#169953) and the embellishments are Pearlised Faceted Circles (#166978).

I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add glimmer to the flowers.

Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies

Hi friends,

I needed a card for a special birthday and of course couldn't resist using the Stampin’ Hot Foil System (#170012).

The butterflies are from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045), the leaves on the background are from the Botanical Glow Hot Foil Dies (#170056) and Happy Birthday is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042).

The Gold Foil (#170066) was used for the leaves & yellow butterfly. Silver Foil (#170067) was used on the blue butterfly and Pink Foil (#170068) on the pink butterfly and sentiment. I used the Pastels Shimmer Specialty Paper (#167198) for the butterflies & sentiment.

I stamped the leaves from the Botanical Glow stamp set (#170054) using Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). This Basic White card front (#166781) was matted with a retired shimmer paper (not sure of the name), then this was attached to the Bubble Bath Pastels Shimmer Specialty Paper. The base card is also Basic White.

The butterflies & sentiment are attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The gold Flower Accents (#165171) were added to finish the card.
