Heartfelt Hexagon Punch

Hi friends,

For this card I have cut 3cm from the right side of the card front, allowing you to see the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper (#163372) which I taped to the right side of the “inside” of the card.

I dry embossed a piece of Basic White card (#159228) with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder (#162189) and attached it to the card front. I also attached a strip of Petunia Pop card (#163802) to the edge of the card front.

The sentiment from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set (#163490) was stamped with Petunia Pop ink (#163811). All the hexagons were punched with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch (#162888). The DSP is also from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper. I punched a hexagon from Petunia Pop card, cut it in half horizontally and attached it to the sentiment. The sentiment was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The leaves and flowers are from the Flowers Of Beauty stamp set (#163374) and stamped with Summer Splash ink (#163809) and Petunia Pop ink. These were cut with the Flowers Of Beauty dies (#163375). The leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The embellishments are from the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems (#163781).

Magnolia Mood Bundle

Hello again stamping friends,

The Magnolia Mood Bundle (#163507) consists of the Magnolia Mood stamp set (#163502) and the Magnolia Mood dies (#163506) and have been used on today’s card.

I stamped the floral image with Gray Granite ink (#147118) onto Basic White card (#159228). I coloured the flowers with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675). For the leaves I used Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends (#154902), Old Olive Stampin’ Blends (#154892) and Lost lagoon Stampin’ Blends (#161680).

I used the dies to cut the stamped image as well as the detailed image which I cut from Soft Sea Foam card (#147012). I also cut some individual leaves from the same dies set.

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder (#162189) and matted with Soft Sea Foam card.

The circles are cut from Bubble Bath card (#161727) & Basic White card using Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580). These were taped to the card front. I attached the detailed floral cut-out to the card then added the stamped image with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Happy Birthday” is also from the Magnolia Mood stamp set and I stamped this with Petunia Pop ink (#163811). This was cut with a Delicate Forest die (#162675). The embellishments are from the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems (#163781). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the flowers & leaves.

Designer Tags Dies

Hello again friends,

I have used the Designer Tags Dies (#159165) for today’s card to cut the tag, floral image & butterfly.

I cut the tag from Blackberry Bliss card (#133682) then I cut the floral image on the tag. I then put a small piece of the White Glimmer Paper from the Berry Burst, Old Olive & White 12”x12” Glimmer Specialty Paper (#163769) behind the tag so you can see the lovely glitter through the cut out image. This glimmer paper is available from the Online Exclusives. I also cut the butterfly from this paper.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#162189), then matted with Blackberry Bliss card.

I threaded the Silver & White 1/2” Sheer Ribbon (#162149) through the top & bottom of the tag and wrapped it around the card front. The tag was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment is from Thoughtful Expressions Stamp set (#162815) and stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092). I used a die from the Happy Little Things dies (#163709). There are 2 banner dies in this set so is ideal for sentiments. The sentiment and butterfly were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and I finished the card with the Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels (#158987).

Thoughtful Expressions

Hi again my friends,

These flowers from the Encircled In Nature stamp set (#163623) were leftover from another project so why not use them on this card.

The flowers were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). I coloured the image with the following Stampin’ Blends - Real Red (#154899), Granny Apple Green (#154885) and Daffodil Delight (#154883). This was cut with the co-ordinating die from the Encircled In Nature dies (#162628).

I cut the “circles” on the card front with 2 dies from the Thoughtful Expressions dies (#162821). I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) with Real Red ink (#147084). The larger piece of the card front was dry embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#162189). These 2 pieces were attached to the Daffodil Delight card (#121680). The base card is Basic White.

The flowers were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I cut the leaves from Granny Apple Green card (#147014) and these were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The heart embellishments are retired.

The Very Vanilla card front (#106550) was dry embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#162189) and also matted with Pretty Peacock card, then attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

I taped the larger die-cut rectangle to the card front. The flowers and sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

I always have bits & pieces of designer series paper, so I have used pieces from the All About Autumn Specialty Designer Paper (#162178) for this card.

I cut one piece with a die from the Countryside Corners dies (#161471) and a piece of Pretty Peacock card (#150886) was also cut with the next size larger die. These pieces were taped together.

I dry embossed the Very Vanilla card front (#106550) with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#162189). I attached a piece of the DSP to the left side of the card front then attached the die cut pieces. Another strip of the DSP was attached across the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430), then the sentiment was taped on top.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Garden Meadow stamp set (#162736) and stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083). This was also cut with a Countryside Corners die.

The butterfly is from the Enchanted Butterfly stamp set (#161279). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the butterfly to the card.

The card front was daubered with Pretty Peacock ink then attached to the Very Vanilla card base.

Handcrafted Elements dies

Welcome my friends,

I don’t think you can go past red & gold for a beautiful Christmas card. I do like traditional Christmas colours.

The Designer Series Paper is from the Shining Brightly Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162378). This was matted with Real Red card (#106578). The strip of Real Red card was dry embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#162189). The Very Vanilla card (#106550) was dry embossed with one of the Cheery Patterns Embossing Folders (#162287). These were taped to the card.

The Bauble was cut with the Handcrafted Elements dies (#162330) using Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) and Real Red card. I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach these together, then they were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I threaded the Gold from the Silver & Gold Trim Combo pack (#161633) through the top of the bauble and wrapped it over the top of the card front. The card front was attached to the Very Vanilla base card.

The sentiment is from the Trucking Along stamp set (#162299) and stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). A die from the Timeless Arrangements dies (#161525) was used to cut the sentiment. The embellishments are from the Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs (#161954).
