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.

Tile Garden Dies

Hello friends,

I have used the Tile Garden dies (#168573) for the square cut outs on today’s card. There are 12 different dies in a variety of sizes with 3 different designs around the edges. These also match with the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580).

There will be a new batch of Online Exclusives available in November, including the Birthday Shoutout stamp set (#169840) which has a range of sentiments for birthdays and other celebrations. I stamped the sentiment from this set with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) on Basic White card (#166781).

Silver Opal Stampin’ Hot Foil

Hello again friends,

The Silver Opal Stampin’ Hot Foil Roll (#170554) has been used for this card and gives a lovely colour to the foil depending on the light.

I used the Reverse Hot Foil Die (#170043) with the Silver Opal Foil on Basic White card (#166781) for a plain background, then I used the Floral Spray Embossing Folder (#167946) to dry embossed the card. This was matted with Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) and attached to the Basic White base card.

“Congratulations” from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and punched with the Three Banner punch (#167050). I cut the Gorgeous Grape banner under the sentiment with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). The sentiment was attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I coloured the retired Frosted Iridescent Dots with Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends (#154887) before attaching them to the card.
