Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

I have used the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper (#166957) on today’s card.

This design is gold & white but I chose to colour just the background leaving the flowers & leaves. I used Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675), then added glimmer on the Bubble Bath with the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

“Happy Birthday” from the 2026 Virtual Card Making Retreat stamp set (#170026) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment was cut with a Paradise Garden die (#167120). I also cut a piece of Bubble Bath card (#161727) with the same die, cut it in half and attached the 2 pieces to the sentiment.

The DSP was matted with Bubble Bath card and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781). The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The (retired) Brushed Brass Butterflies were attached to the sentiment.

Beautifully Celebrated Dies

Hello & welcome,

Gold & white always looks elegant. Here I have used the gorgeous Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper (#166957) along with the Beautifully Celebrated Dies (#166974).

I cut the middle out of the DSP with one of the dies. This DSP was then matted with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). This was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781)

I cut the detailed corners from Basic White card and Gold Foil, also with dies from this set. The Gold Foil corners were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683), then I added the White corners, offsetting them to show some gold.

“Best Wishes” from With You In Mind stamp set (#164747) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment was also cut with one of the Beautifully Celebrated dies.

The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to finish the card.

Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello again,

One of the beautiful DSPs in the new Mini Catalogue is the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper (#166957). One side of the designs have gold foil like on this delicate flower design.

I matted the DSP with Fresh Freesia card (#155614) then added the triangle of DSP on top. This is actually the reverse side of the same DSP.

The flower & leaves are from the Beautifully Adorned Ephemera Pack (#166980). These are vellum sheets with a variety of pre-cut images, also including gold foil. The flower was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the leaves.

“Birthday Wishes” is from the Simply Said stamp set (#163756). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) was added and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was punched with the Labelled With Love punch (#163569) and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to the card.
