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.

Notes Of Collage

Welcome again everyone,

The Notes of Collage bundle (169769) as well as the exclusive Collage Botanicals stamp set were used for a recent virtual card class. The Notes Of Collage bundle will be available to purchase in the November On Line Exclusives. The Collage Botanicals was only available for the virtual class. I have used all these on today’s card.

I stamped the image along the bottom of the Very Vanilla card front (#166785) with Crumb Cake ink (#147116) and the leaf on the right side with Peaceful Pine ink (#167679). These 2 images are from the Collage Botanicals stamp set.

I stamped a leaf from the Notes Of Collage stamp set (#169763) with Golden Glow ink (#167676) and cut this with the Notes Of Collage dies (#169768). I die cut another leaf from the set with Pecan Pie card (#161726) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

I used Golden Glow ink on a Blending Brush (#153611) to colour the background of the card front. I also added the “splashes” with Crumb Cake ink which was stamped off for the lighter finish. The Golden Glow die cut leaf was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Birthday Shoutout stamp set (#169840) - also available in November. This was stamped with Pecan Pie ink (#161665) and cut with a Notes Of Collage die. I also cut a piece of Pecan Pie card and offset it under the sentiment. This was also attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The card front was matted with Pecan Pie card and attached to the Very Vanilla base card. The embellishments are the Mosaic Adhesive-Backed dots (#169772) and also available in November.
