Moonlit Flora Suite Collection

Hi stamping friends,

I have used the Moonlit Flora Suite Collection (#167749) for today’s card.

I cut 3 pieces of the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper (#167737) using a die from the Paradise Garden dies (#167120). These were attached to a piece of Vellum Specialty Paper (#167099), then cut with a square Stylish Shapes Die (#159183).

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#167737) with the Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder (#167744) and this was matted with Peaceful Pine card (#167692) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The square die cut piece was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The ferns are cut with the Fern & Flora dies (#168991) from Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) and Peaceful Pine card. The dragonflies are cut from Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper (#165901) using the Scalloped Wishes dies (#167452). I attached the body to the wings of the dragonfly using Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Happiest Birthday Wishes” is from the Phrases & Frames stamp set (#167581) and I stamped this with Peaceful Pine ink (#167679). A die from the Fern & flora dies was used to cut the sentiment.

The card for the ferns were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) which makes it easy to attach fine die cuts to the card. The top left dragonfly was attached with Mini Glue Dots and I used a Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the other dragonfly. The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Etched Autumn stamp

Hi everyone,

I have used the Etched Autumn background stamp (#166082) on today’s card. It is another of the Last Chance Products. I find with a more detailed background you don't need a lot on the card.

I stamped the image onto Very Vanilla card (#166785) using VersaMark (#102283) and added the Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I matted this with Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) before attaching it to the Very Vanilla base card.

“Happy Birthday” from the 2026 Virtual Card Making Retreat stamp set was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083) then re-inked with VersaMark and I added the Clear powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679) and set it with the Heat Tool. I stamped this with the new Stampin’ Positioner (#167768) which will be available to purchase from the 5th May when the new catalogue is released. I cut the sentiment with a Paradise Garden Die (#167120).

I cut the Cherry Cobbler card and Gold Foil (#132622) with Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183) and taped them to the card. The sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The embellishments are from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds.

The Last Chance Product is the Etched Autumn stamp. The 2026 Virtual Card Making Retreat stamp set and the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds are already sold out (in Australia).

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.

Scalloped Wishes

Hi friends,

How cute are these dragonflies from the Scalloped Wishes Bundle (#167447). Do you find you use the larger images in a set and forget about the smaller ones? I do, so thought I would use the dragonflies without all the other images from this bundle.

The curved card and DSP were cut with a die from the Paradise Garden dies (#167120). The DSP is from the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper (#167977) and the coloured card is Secret Sea (#165296). After cutting the Secret Sea card with the die, I cut it in half (longways) and attached this to the DSP & sentiment.

“Happy Birthday” is from the stamp set from the Virtual Card Retreat (#170026) and stamped with Secret Sea ink (#165285).

These die cut pieces were attached to the Basic White card front (#166781) which was dry embossed with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder (#161600). This was matted with Secret Sea card.

The die cut dragonflies were cut with dies from the Scalloped Wishes dies (#167452) using the Tungsten from the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772). These were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The small stamped dragonflies are from the Scalloped Wishes stamp set (#167447) and stamped with Secret Sea ink and cut with a Scalloped Wishes die. I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach these to the card.

Hello again everyone,

There will be a new range of products available early March from the Online Exclusives, including the beautiful Delicate Dreams Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167498). Some of the images in this pack have matching dies in the Delicate Whispers dies (#167505). These flowers are cut from the DSP with the dies.

The card front is from the Mixed Up Patterns Designer Series Paper (#166992) and I matted this with Mossy Meadow card (#133683) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#166781). I attached the strip of the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper (#166912) to the card front.

“Happy Birthday” is from the 2026 Virtual Card Making Retreat stamp set (#170026). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and the Copper powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) was added and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). A die from the Paradise Garden dies (#167120) cut the sentiment.

The flowers and sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The fine leaves were cut with the Delicate Whispers dies using Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty paper (#165901) and Textured Metallic Specialty paper (#163772), both backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The embellishments are from the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls (#165192).
