Stylish Shapes dies

Hi again my friends,

I have used the square dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183) for the diamond shapes.

I used Pretty Peacock card (#150886), Summer Splash card (#163798) and the Summer Splash from the 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper (#163771). The card front is from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper (#163372), and this was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The diamond under the butterfly was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Pretty Peacock diamonds were attached with tape and the others with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The butterfly is from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set (#163490). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added Copper from the Metallic Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The co-ordinating die from the Sketched Butterflies die (#163491) was used to cut the butterfly. I added some glimmer using the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) and attached the butterfly with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The embellishments are the Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems (#161288).

Greetings Of The Season Dies

Hello friends,

The Greetings Of The Season Dies (#164112) has a variety of shapes & sizes so will be very versatile. I have used 3 of the dies for this card.

I used the dies to cut the sentiment, the strip under the sentiment and the large “label” cut out.

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#159228) with the Cute Crochet 3D Embossing Folder (#163792). I added the strip of Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper (#163372) to the card front. The edges were daubered with Petunia Pop ink (#163811), then attached to the Basic White base card.

The large die cut “label” was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I threaded the Gold trim from the Gold & Silver 1/8” Trim Combo Pack (#161633) through the hole of the label. The sentiment from So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Petunia Pop ink. The Petunia Pop card (#163802) and the sentiment were cut with the dies and attached to the card.

The floral image from Thoughtful Wishes stamp set (#162815) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I used Stampin’ Blends to colour this - Petunia Pop (#163828), Summer Splash (#163826), Shy Shamrock (#163825) and Peach Pie (#163827). I cut this with the now retired Thoughtful Expressions dies.

The Iridescent Faceted Gems (#163368) were added to finish the card.

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).

Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper

Hi stamping friends,

On page 22 of the Annual catalogue, you will find a range of card templates if you are wanting some inspiration for a card. I have used one of these templates for today’s card. You can copy the template exactly or make changes, there are no rules.

The 2 pieces of DSP are from the Unbounded Beauty 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#163378). The strips of DSP for the background measure 12.5cm x 2.5cm. These were taped to the Basic White card front (#159228). I cut the Basic White and DSP rectangles with dies from the Everyday Details Dies (#162864) and attached them to the card front.

I stamped the flowers from the Flowers Of Beauty stamp set (#163374) onto Petunia Pop card (#163802). I used VersaMark (#102283) and White Wow! Embossing Powder (#165679), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The leaves from the same stamp set were stamped with Summer Splash ink (#163809). The flowers & leaves were cut with the Flowers Of Beauty dies (#163375).

“Happy Birthday” from Translucent Florals stamp set (#162243) was stamped with Petunia Pop ink (#163811) and the circles were cut with the Everyday Details Dies.

The flowers & sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The gems are from the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems (#163781). I added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the flowers.
