Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies

Hello everyone,

I was having a long needed clean up of my craft table and came across a card base from the Beautiful Blues kit (which is now retired) and some other bits & pieces, so thought I would make a quick card with them.

I had used the Flourish & Frames Hot Foil Dies (#170064) on Vellum Specialty Paper (#167099) using Silver Stampin’ Hot Foil roll (#170067). I then cut this label with the co-ordinating cutting die. The Night Of Navy card (#106577) was also cut with one of the dies.

“Thinking Of You” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) and I also used the Silver Foil. The co-ordinating cutting die cut the sentiment. The labels were taped together and attached to the card and the sentiment was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The embellishments are from the Shimmering Dots (#167949).

I have a range of sentiments and other pieces from Hot Foiling put aside which makes it easy when I need a quick & easy card.

Tile Garden dies

Hi & welcome again,

A sneak peek of some products available next week (1st September) from the new catalogue. I have used the Tile Garden dies (#168573) to cut the squares.

I cut 2 of the larger squares from Basic White card (#166785). I attached these together - one was placed as a square and the other as a diamond to create the shape.The small squares were cut from the Mosaic Garden Designer Series Paper (#168566) and attached them alternately to the larger white card.

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the retired Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder, then matted with Hydrangea Hue card (#167688) and attached to the Basic White base card.

“Thank You” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) using Silver Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (#170067). This was hot foiled onto Hydrangea Hue card. The co-ordinating cutting die cut the sentiment.

The small circle was cut using a die from the Stylish Shapes (#159183), dry embossed with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder and attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the sentiment and die cut “squares” to the card.

2026-2028 In Color Butterflies (#167656) were added to the card.

Gold Hot Foiling

Hello friends,

Another card with Hot Foiling and using the Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170066) for “Happy Birthday”.

I used the Luxe Alphabet & Numbers Hot Foiling Dies (#170044) for the letters for “Happy”. They have a co-ordinating cutting die to cut each individual letter at the one time. For “Birthday” I used the Gold Foil with the Reverse Hot Foil Die (#170043), then cut it with a Words & Wishes Die (#167894).

The DSP is from the beautiful August Product Of The Month which is Glow Of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168598). I cut the front piece with a Perennial Postage die (#162607) and matted it with Cajun Craze card (#121683), then attached it to another of the Glow Of Harvest DSP. This was then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The sentiment was glued with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

Glow Of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper

Welcome everyone,

The floral image on today’s card is from the Glow Of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168598). This is the August Product Of The Month which is available to purchase for $9 (in Australia) with a $125 order. This beautiful paper has a fine shimmer all over. I fussy cut this image.

The card front is Golden Glow (#167686) and this was dry embossed with the Softly Woven Embossing folder (#168466). This is available in the next catalogue from 1st September. I matted this with Pecan Pie card (#161726) and attached it to the Very Vanilla base card (#166785).

The Flourish & Frames Hot Foil Dies (#170064) were used for the label. I used the Silver Opal Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170554) on Two-Tone Crumb Cake card (#166671) and this was cut with the co-ordinating cutting dies. I also used the Silver Opal Foil for the sentiment from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042). Even though this is silver foil it picks up all the colours around.

The leaves were cut with the cutting dies from the (upcoming) Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil dies (#170558) using both sides of the Two-Tone cardstock. The leaves were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the floral image and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

I have used the (retired) Iredescent Faceted Gems to compete the card.

Hot Foil Dies

Hello friends,

I have used 4 different Hot Foil dies on this beautiful card. It is a bit hard to photograph with all the shine.

For the card front I used Basic White card (#166781) and used Red Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170552) with the Swiss Dots Hot Foil Dies (#170075).

For the flowers I used the Garden Silhouette Hot Foil Dies (#170041) with the Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170066). I fussy cut the flowers and used part of the image.

“Thinking Of You” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) and I also used Gold foil. This was cut with the co-ordinating cutting die.

The butterfly is from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil dies (#170045) and I used Gold Foil on the Red Timeless Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168548). This was cut with the co-ordinating cutting die.

The floral image was taped to the card front and the sentiment & butterfly were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Heartfelt Hexagon Punch

Hello everyone,

I have punched the Delicate Designs Specialty Paper (#167509) with the now retired Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I love how these fit nicely together to create a pattern.

I attached these pieces to an also retired foil and cut off the excess around the edges. I then matted this with another piece of the foil, and then this looks like one piece. Doing it this way makes it easy to cut the pieces the correct size. The base card is Basic White (#166781).

The sentiment is from the Exciting Times stamp set (#167875) and stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and added Copper from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056) and also punched with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the sentiment.
