Sunset Coast dies

Hi again everyone,

A great masculine card today using the Sunset Coast dies (#167780).

I cut the lighthouse image using the dies and used Silver Foil Sheets (#163387), then cut the circle with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183).

The card front is from the Shimmering Stripes Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168197). I coloured this with a Blending Brush (#153611) and Azure Afternoon ink (#161663). The circle was also cut with the Stylish Shapes die.

I dry embossed the Basic White card (#166781) with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder. I attached the Shimmering Stripes Paper to the embossed card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430), then matted this with Azure Afternoon card (#161728). The base card is Basic White.

The lighthouse image was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

I used the Silver Foil Sheets for the shells & starfish and Azure Afternoon card for the birds. These dies are also from the Sunset Coast dies. They were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots.

The sentiment is from the Begonia Belle stamp set (#168592) and stamped with Azure Afternoon ink, then cut with a Nested Essentials die (#161597) and taped top the card.

Pretty Poinsettia Bundle

Hello friends,

Here is my first Christmas card for the year. I have used the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle (#168147) for the beautiful flower and sentiment.

The Pretty Poinsettia Dies (#168146) are impressions dies which gives extra embossing. I used Poppy Parade card (#121694) for the flower and Peaceful Pine card (#167692) for the leaves. I attached each of these layers with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The centre of the flower was cut from Gold Foil (#132622) and this was attached with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

“Christmas Joy” from the Pretty Poinsettia stamp set (#168140) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Powder was used from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with a Stylish Shapes Die (#159183). Another circle was cut with a Spotlight On Nature die (#163580) and I attached the poinsettia to that with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I dry embossed a piece of Basic White card (#166781) with the Swirls Of Magic Embossing Folder (#168179) and matted this with Peaceful Pine card. The DSP is from A Stitched Season Designer Series Paper (#168223) and attached to the embossed card. The card front was attached to the Basic White base card.

The circle with the flower was taped to the card and the sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Swirls Of Magic Embossing Folder

Welcome everyone,

There is a great range of new products now available from the Online exclusives, including this beautiful Swirls Of Magic Embossing Folder (#168179), which will be suitable for all types of celebrations.

I cut 4 different colours of card 4cm x 11cm and cut diagonally from top left to bottom right. Another piece (cut the same size) was cut into a triangle, from the top left and top right, to the midpoint (2cm) at the bottom. This piece fitted in the middle. The card used is Crushed Curry (#131288), Daffodil Delight (#121680), Darling Duckling (#165294) and Lemon Lolly (#161729).

I dry embossed these pieces of card with the embossing folder then taped them to a piece of Very Vanilla card (#166785) - 9cm x 13.4cm. I then cut the excess DSP off around the card. This was matted with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). I wrapped the Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essentials Pack (#155475) around the card front, then attached it to the Very Vanilla base card.

The balloons are from the Addressed To You stamp set (#167010) and the sentiment is from the Exciting Times stamp set (#167875). These were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Heat Embossed with Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

Wild Bunch stamp set

Hi again,

I had a cow from the Wild Bunch stamp set (#167987) left from yesterday’s card so I couldn't resist making another card with this cute set.

The image was stamped with Basic Black Hybrid stamp pad (#166648) onto Basic White card (#166781), then the circle was cut with a die from the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580). This was attached to another circle cut with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183) from Pecan Pie card (#161726).

The cow was coloured with the following Stampin’ Blends - Pecan Pie (#161674), Golden Glow (#167682), Bubble Bath (#161675) and Ivory (#154922).

The 2 pieces of DSP are from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393). These were attached to the Basic White card front which was dry embossed with the Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing folder (#167120). This was matted with Pecan Pie card and attached to the Basic White base card.

Mini Alphabet Dies

Hi friends,

I have used the Mini Alphabet Dies (#162934) for the individual letters on this card. I have just realised I have used all dies and no stamping on this card.

I dry embossed the Basic White card (#166781) with a retired Merry Melody embossing folder. I added a narrow piece of Blueberry Bushel card (#146991) to the sides. As this is a square folder and I couldn't emboss the whole card front, I embossed 2 smaller pieces for the sides and attached them to the Blueberry Bushel base card and attached the larger pieces on top.

I cut the squares and “diamonds” with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183). The squares are cut from Hydrangea Hue card (#167688) and for the “diamonds” I used the 2026-2028 In Color Painted Patterns designer Series Paper (#167755).

For “Happy” and the letters I also used Blueberry Bushel card. The background of “happy” is Hydrangea Hue card. “Happy” is from the Words & Wishes dies (#167894). “11” is cut with the retired Alphabet A La Mode dies.

I used the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755) to attach the letters, numbers & “happy” to the card. I taped the diamonds to the squares, then taped the squares to the card.

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).

Product Of The Month

Hi everyone,

Each month there is a new Product Of The Month which can be purchased at a reduced price with a qualifying order (in Australia it is $9 with a $125 order). These products are available while stocks last and will carry over if they are still in stock. This month’s Product of the Month is the Notes Of Spring stamp set (#167979).

I thought these cute little animals from this stamp set would make a great baby card.

The outline of the rabbit, duck & deer were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) which were set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

I stamped the inside area of the rabbit with Bubble Bath ink (#161664), Lemon Lolly ink (#161666) for the duck and Crumb Cake ink (#147116) for the deer.

The circles were cut with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183). The stamped images were attached to the coloured card - Bubble Bath (#161727), Lemon Lolly (#161729) and Crumb Cake (#121685) using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The card front is from the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper (#167977) which is also a Product Of The Month. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The circles were taped to the card. “Congratulations” is from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) and also Gold Embossed. Another die from the Stylish Shapes dies was used to cut the sentiment. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was added to each of the stamped images.

The embellishments are from the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots (#162758). The dot under the deer was coloured with a Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend (#154882).

Greenery Lane Bundle

Hi again friends,

I have used the same template on this card as I did on the card on 8th January. For that one I used the Fragrant Layers stamp set for the flowers and today I have used the Greenery Lane Bundle (#166877) for all the leaves for a more masculine card. However it would also be suitable for a female card.

For the card front, and the three rectangular pieces cut with the Nested Essentials dies (#161597), I have used the Pastel Shimmer Specialty paper (#167198). I dry embossed the card front with the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder 164069) and matted it with the Basic Black card (#121688), then attached it to the Basic White base card (#166781). I taped the 3 rectangles to the card front.

The leaves from the Greenery Lane stamp set (#166870) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends used to colour the leaves are Lost Lagoon (#161680), Pool Party (#154894), Summer Splash (#163826) and Daffodil Delight (#154883).

The leaves were cut with the Greenery Lane dies (#166876) and they were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The sentiment from the (retired) So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). I daubered the edges with Pool Party ink (#147107). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#10430) were used to attach this to the card. Antique Pearls (#164679) were added to finish the card.

Delicate Framing dies

Hello again friends,

I have had a very busy few days, (sorry for my absence), then yesterday we had a vicious storm which has left us and many others without power. Luckily we didn't have any damage, just a part of a tree down and lots of debris. So now I am back in the craft room.

I have used the Delicate Framing Dies (#167026) on this card. There are 11 dies in this set as shown below.

I used Basic Black card (#121688) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) for these die cuts. I like to use this for all the finer die cuts making it easy to attach to the card. They were attached to the Crushed Curry card (#131288). The card front was attached to the Basic Black base card.

The sentiment is from the Peace On Earth stamp set (#165918) and stamped with Crushed Curry ink (#147087). I cut this with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183), then matted it with Basic Black card. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The flower is from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) and stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I coloured it with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#154883) and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends (#163826). Mini Glue Dots (#103683) were used to attach the flower

Elegant Pines Snowflakes Designer Series Paper

Hi again,

I love this design using the circles from the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183).

Using 5 of the circles I cut 3 different designs from the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper (#166066) and the red & green from the All Season Velvet Specialty Paper (#166063). Each of the circles were cut in half, then I taped the half circles on top of each other.

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder (#167097), then matted with Cherry Cobbler card (#121681), and attached to the Basic White base card.

“Season’s Greetings” from the Traditional Labels stamp set (#165854) was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083) and cut with the co-ordinating die from the Traditional Labels (#165864). The dove was cut with a Peace On Earth die (#165924) from the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper (#165929).

The sentiment and dove were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).
