Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all! And – welcome to the Inaugural Creative Connections Blog Hop! Our hoppers are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators who love sharing our creativity and inspiring others through paper crafting. Each month, we’ll bring projects, ideas, and inspiration to spark your own creativity. Hope you’ll enjoy hopping along with us!
When I saw the new Tide & Treasures Hot Foil Dies I knew I wanted to use them soon – and so…today…I did! I combined it with the new You Are Loved stamp set from the November 2026 Online Exclusives! Take a look-see:
I started with a Basic Black card base and, using Liquid Glue, I adhered a 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of Painted Collage DSP at an angle.
Next up, I used the Stampin’ Hot Foil System to foil the big Tide & Treasures background hot foil image in new White Stampin’ Hot Foil – this is one of the rolls you’ll get with the Spring Hot Foils Assortment! – on a full sized piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock.
I trimmed the panel down to 3 3/4″ x 5″ and adhered it to to the card front using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Next up, I hot foiled the Tide & Treasures image in new Black Stampin’ Hot Foil on a piece of Barely Blush Sunset Shimmer Paper. Okay – I know. I realized AFTER I put the card together that this paper is retired. 🫤 I am so sorry! If you don’t still have this paper – use Barely Blush 2026-2028 In Color Pearlized Paper OR plain Vellum Specialty Paper (and color the shells with a Dark Barely Blush Stampin’ Blend!).
Using the die that’s in the Tide & Treasures Hot Foil Dies, I cut out the hot foiled shells. I used Liquid Glue to adhere three of them to the card front.
I adhered a little black Baker’s Twine bow with Liquid Glue.
On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped a You Are Loved sentiment in Basic Black Memento Ink and cut it out with the Three Banner Punch. While I had the punch out, I also cut out a piece of pink woodgrain Painted Collage DSP.
I adhered the DSP banner – and then the sentiment banner – to the card front with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I adhered five Pearl Adhesive-backed Faceted Dots and the card front was done!
On the inside, I adhered a 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of the Painted Collage DSP at an angle with Liquid Glue. On a piece of Basic White, I stamped a second You Are Loved sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Across the bottom, I adhered a 1/2″ wide strip of the hot foiled Misty Moonlight cardstock (leftover from trimming the card front down to size!).
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel over the DSP panel on the inside of the card base and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got another sentiment from You Are Loved in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the front…
…and more of the Painted Collage DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! I love the new White foil – it’s kinda sorta perfect for the Tide & Treasures Hot Foil die image, don’t you think?! And that the die set ALSO cuts out the shells is just icing on the cake. The You Are Loved all-sentiment stamp set has wonderful, pair-able, sentiments – they’re SOO good! And the Painted Collage DSP is turning out to be really a versatile pack of papers for many projects!
I hope you like!
