Posted on August 12, 2026August 6, 2026 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using a product of the month. I am using the July 2026 offering a pretty two step stamp set called Begonia Belle.

Colours used to make this card are:

I created the purple begonias card using the following supplies:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Silver Foil – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Violet Dreams dsp – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White – 4¼” by 3¼”
Basic White– 3” by ½”

I began by adhering the panel of Violet Dreams dsp to the piece of Silver Foil, and yes, I did gut the middle out of the silver foil panel to use in another project. The whole piece was then glued to the Thick Basic White card front.

Using the Hot Foil System, Silver Foil and the Flourish and Frames Hot Foil Dies I created a silver foil frame which I then die cut using the same set of dies.

In the centre of the die cut frame I stamped the outline begonia image with Gorgeous Grape ink. The infill was then added with Highland Heather ink, so pretty.

I stamped the outline image again on Masking Paper, fussy cut it out and added it over the stamped flower. The outline leaves were then stamped with Peaceful Pine ink and the infill leafy image with 2^nd generation Peaceful Pine ink before the mask was removed. The silver foil edged label was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Cutest Crew stamp set was stamped on the strip of Basic White card with Gorgeous Grape ink. I flagged the ends before adding it to the card front.

I used a Dark Highland Heather Blends Pen to add colour to a trio of Basic Rhinestones before adding then to complete the card.
