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).

Glow Of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper

Welcome everyone,

The floral image on today’s card is from the Glow Of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168598). This is the August Product Of The Month which is available to purchase for $9 (in Australia) with a $125 order. This beautiful paper has a fine shimmer all over. I fussy cut this image.

The card front is Golden Glow (#167686) and this was dry embossed with the Softly Woven Embossing folder (#168466). This is available in the next catalogue from 1st September. I matted this with Pecan Pie card (#161726) and attached it to the Very Vanilla base card (#166785).

The Flourish & Frames Hot Foil Dies (#170064) were used for the label. I used the Silver Opal Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170554) on Two-Tone Crumb Cake card (#166671) and this was cut with the co-ordinating cutting dies. I also used the Silver Opal Foil for the sentiment from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042). Even though this is silver foil it picks up all the colours around.

The leaves were cut with the cutting dies from the (upcoming) Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil dies (#170558) using both sides of the Two-Tone cardstock. The leaves were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the floral image and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I have used the (retired) Iredescent Faceted Gems to compete the card.

Hot Foil Dies

Hello friends,

I have used 4 different Hot Foil dies on this beautiful card. It is a bit hard to photograph with all the shine.

For the card front I used Basic White card (#166781) and used Red Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170552) with the Swiss Dots Hot Foil Dies (#170075).

For the flowers I used the Garden Silhouette Hot Foil Dies (#170041) with the Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170066). I fussy cut the flowers and used part of the image.

“Thinking Of You” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) and I also used Gold foil. This was cut with the co-ordinating cutting die.

The butterfly is from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil dies (#170045) and I used Gold Foil on the Red Timeless Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168548). This was cut with the co-ordinating cutting die.

The floral image was taped to the card front and the sentiment & butterfly were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Heartfelt Hexagon Punch

Hello everyone,

I have punched the Delicate Designs Specialty Paper (#167509) with the now retired Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I love how these fit nicely together to create a pattern.

I attached these pieces to an also retired foil and cut off the excess around the edges. I then matted this with another piece of the foil, and then this looks like one piece. Doing it this way makes it easy to cut the pieces the correct size. The base card is Basic White (#166781).

The sentiment is from the Exciting Times stamp set (#167875) and stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and added Copper from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056) and also punched with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the sentiment.

Delicate Whispers Bundle

Hi stamping friends,

I have used a range of “leafy” products on today’s card, including the Delicate Whispers Bundle (#167506).

I used the Botanical Expressions die (#168152) to cut the leaves on the basic White card front (#166781), then I dry embossed this with the retired Beautiful Pattern embossing folder. This was attached to the Peaceful Pine card (#167692), then attached to the Basic White base card.

I stamped the leafy image from the Delicate Whispers stamp set (#167500) using Peaceful Pine ink (#167679). The sentiment is from Phrases & Frames stamp set (#167581) and also stamped with Peaceful Pine ink.

The 2 circles and square were cut with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183). The larger circle is also Peaceful Pine card.

I cut the leaves and small flowers with dies from the Delicate Whispers dies (#167505). I used the Shimmering Stripes Specialty Designer Series Paper (#16197) for the leaves and the Crisp Cataloupe from the 2026-2028 In Color Pearlised Specialty Paper (#167766). I lightly coloured the leaves with a Blending Brush (#153611) and Peaceful Pine ink.

The stamped leaves were coloured with Peaceful Pine Shimmer Brush (#167665) and the small stamped flowers on the same image with Crisp Cantaloupe Shimmer Brush (#167661). This was taped to the card front. The die cut leaves & flowers were glued to the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The embellishments are from the 2026-2028 In Color Dots (#167546).

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.
