Scenic Coast Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello again everyone,

Another quick & easy card while I am away and a great masculine card.

For the background I used the beautiful Scenic Coast Specialty Paper (#167773) which has a lovely shimmer to it. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The boat was cut with the Sunset Coast dies (#167780), then I used a circle die from the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580). I used the Lunar Lustre paper (#167199) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) for this. The Lunar Lustre paper is on special in the Last Chance products.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) and I used the Silver Stampin’ Hot Foil Roll (#170067), then cut it with the co-ordinating cutting die.

The sentiment was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Moonlit Flora Suite Collection

Hello friends,

I have used the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper (#167737) on this card along with other products from the Moonlit Flora Suite Collection (#167749)

The leaves were cut with the Fern & Flora dies (#168991) from Soft Sea Foam card (#147012), Old Olive card (#106576) and Bubble Bath card (#161727). These 3 cards were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) making them easy to attach to the card.

“Thank You” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil dies (#170042) and I foiled this using the Light Pink Stampin’ Hot Foil Roll (#170553), then it was cut with the co-ordinating cutting die. This was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Timeless Metallic Specialty Paper

Hi everyone,

A sneak peek today of the gorgeous Timeless Metallic Specialty Paper (#168548) from the upcoming catalogue. This paper is in red, green & gold and has a beautiful metallic shine, and all used on this card. It also works beautifully with the hot foiling which I have used on the butterfly & sentiment. I just love the results which look much better in real life.

I used the Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170066) for the butterfly & sentiment. The butterfly is from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045) and was cut with the co-ordinating cutting die from the same set. “Happy Birthday” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil dies (#170042) and also cut with the co-ordinating cutting die.

The Soft Sea Foam card front (#147012) was Gold foiled with the Swiss Dots Hot Foil Dies (#170075) and I matted this with Real Red card (#106578) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The leaves were cut with the cutting dies also from the Butterfly Flight dies and I attached these to the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). The butterfly & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper

Hi everyone,

Sorry for my absence the last couple of days, but I am away for a few days visiting family. I brought some bits and pieces with me to do some cards if & when I had a chance, so here is today’s easy card.

The scene is from the Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper (#167920) and I matted this with Pecan Pie card (#161726). I dry embossed the Shaded Spruce card (#147006) with the (retired) Birch Wood Embossing Folder and attached this to the Basic White base card (#166781). The matted DSP was attached on top.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) and I used the Copper Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (#1700553). This was then cut with the co-ordinating cutting dies from the Classic Greetings dies. I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the sentiment.

I have done a range of the sentiments from this set with various colours of the Hot Foil and put them aside ready to use on a card, so I don't have to heat the machine for just one sentiment. Very convenient. Also you can fit a few of the sentiments on the machine at one time.
