Radiant Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello,

I fussy cut the sunflowers from the Radiant Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168362) for this card.

I dry embossed the Golden Glow card front (#167686) with the Rustic Check Embossing Folder (#168442) and attached it to the Very Vanilla base card (#166785).

The leaves are from the Pretty Poinsettia dies (#168146). These dies are impressions dies, so when you use the Impressions Plate (#167767) it gives extra embossed image. These leaves were cut from Garden green card (#108605) and I added extra colour around the edges with a dauber and Garden Green ink (#147087). I cut the leaves apart so I had individual leaves.

“Happy Birthday” from the Framed & Fabulous stamp set (#170573) was stamped with Early Espresso ink (#147114), then cut with a Scalloped Blooms die (#167646).

The sentiment was taped to the card and I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the leaves. The flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Glue Dots. The Gold Adhesive-Backed Dots (#168467) were added to finish the card.

Tile Garden Dies

Welcome friends,

The Tile Garden Dies (#168573) includes 12 square dies with 3 different designs around the edges. These designs are the same as the circle dies from the Spotlight In Nature (#163580).

I used the Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil Roll (#170066) with the Echos Of Detail Hot Foil Die (#170048), then I cut this with the Tile Garden Dies.

The Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) was also cut with these dies and I taped these together.

“For You” and the leaves are from the Words & Wishes dies (#167894). I used the gold from the Timeless Metallic Specialty Paper (#168548) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). The background for “For you” is Gorgeous Grape card.

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Softly Woven Embossing Folder (#168466) and matted with Gorgeous Grape card. The base card is Basic White.

“For You” was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the squares were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Echos Of Detail Hot Foil Dies

Hello friends,

Whenever possible when doing the Hot Foiling, I use the reverse image while the machine is still hot, so I am getting a stock of images waiting to be used. Today I have used the reverse image from yesterday’s card. I used the brick from the Echos Of Detail Hot Foil Dies (#170048) with the Reverse Hot Foils Die (#170043) on Very Vanilla card (#166785). I had used the Copper Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (#170553).

I cut the arch using a die from the Everyday Arches (#164629) from Pretty Peacock card (#150886), then dry embossed this with the (retired) Birch Wood Embossing Folder. The bricks and Pretty Peacock card were attached to the Very Vanilla Base Card.

The leaves were cut using a die from the Nature’s Symphony dies (#166925) from Lost Lagoon card (#133686) and Pool Party card (#124391), then were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). For the Pool Party leaves, I cut some of the leaves from the larger die cut, rather than using the full image.

“Have A Great Birthday” is from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set (#167922) and stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) and cut with a Nested Essentials die (#161597). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the sentiment.

The “embellishments” were cut with a “berry” die from the Noel Tidings dies (#168457) using some “leftover” copper from the Hot Foiling of the bricks. These were attached with Mini Glue Dots.

Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil Bundle

Hello & welcome again,

I think my favourite Hot Foil dies currently are the Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil Bundle (#170559). This bundle includes the hot foil dies, cutting dies and masks for colouring so gives you many options.

I hot foiled the leaves as well as the brickwork from the Echos Of Detail Hot Foil Dies (#170048) with the Copper Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (#170553).

The leaves were coloured with a variety of inks using Blending Brushes (#153611). The colours used are Crushed Curry (#147087), Cajun Craze (#147085), Old Olive (#147090), Mossy Meadow (#147111). Cherry Cobbler (#147083), Pecan Pie (#161665) and Crumb Cake (#147116). After colouring, the leaves were cut with the cutting die.

The card front was matted with Pecan Pie card (#161726) and attached to the Very Vanilla card (#166785).

The sentiment is from the Framed & Fabulous stamp set (#170573) and stamped with Pecan Pie ink. This was cut with a Nested Essentials die (#161597).

The leaves and sentiment were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Hello,

We all have left over designer paper which we just can’t throw away, so why not use it, like I have on this easy card.

Using the Tile Garden Dies (#168573), I cut a variety of pieces from the Scenic Coast Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167773).

I taped each of the squares to the Lunar Lustre Specialty Paper (#167199). This paper is in the Last Chance products, so available while stocks last. The card front was matted with Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The sentiment is from the Framed & Fabulous stamp set (#170573). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Silver Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was also cut with one of the dies and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The embellishments are from the retired Drusy Adhesive-Backed Embellishments.

Country Woods Designer Series Paper

Hello everyone,

I have used a mix of current and retired products on today’s card. I needed a card for an 18 year old apprentice carpenter so the retired Trusty Tools Bundle is perfect along with the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393).

I matted the 2 pieces of DSP with Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper (#165901). This is available from the Last Chance products while stocks last. The base card is Basic White (#166781).

I stamped the tools from the Trusty Tools stamp set, on Smoky Slate card (#131291) using VersaMark (#102283) with Black Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The tools were cut with co-ordinating Trusty Tools dies. I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to add some glimmer to the tools. I added some colour to the paint brush bristles using the Golden Glow Shimmer Brush (#167662).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) and I used the Copper Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (#170553), on Basic White card.

The sentiment, 18 and tools were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The screws and washers also cut from Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper were glued with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

This is a larger card, using a full sheet of A4 and scored in half.
