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.

Tile Garden Bundle

Hi friends,

Here is a sneak peek of the Tile Garden Bundle (#168574) from the upcoming catalogue which is available from 1st September.

I stamped the small flower from the Tile Garden stamp set (#168567) using Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and Highland Heather ink (#147103) on Basic White card (#166781).

I cut the flowers, the Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) and the Highland Heather card (#147103) with the Tile Garden dies (#168573). These dies have the same designs around the edges as the round Spotlight On Nature dies.

I attached the Highland Heather flowers on the Gorgeous Grape squares and vice versa. The squares were then attached to the Basic White card which was matted with Gorgeous Grape card. The base card is Basic White.

August Paper Pumpkin kit

Hello friends,

I have just received my August Paper Pumpkin kit - Kindred Greetings. What I love about Paper Pumpkin is that you have all the instructions to make the cards as they show, or you can change the designs to suit you.

This paper Pumpkin kit includes supplies for 9 cards & envelopes, stamp set, Gray Granite ink spot, adhesive, twine and die cuts.

I have made a couple of small changes to these cards but will do some alternatives as soon as I get some time.

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).
