Rustic Garden Silhouette Card – Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Posted on October 17, 2026October 13, 2026 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing cards celebrating friendship. I have gone a bit rogue with this one and thought I would try my hand at reverse hot foiling – one small problem, my reverse die hasn’t yet arrived, so I improvised with interesting results.

Colours used to make this card are:

Basic White

Secret Sea

Rococo Rose

I created the rustic garden silhouette card using the following supplies:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored on the long-side at 4⅛”
Secret Sea – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White – 5” by 3¼”
Light Pink Foil
Scrap Secret Sea

I had previously used the Hot Foil System with the Garden Silhouette Hot Foil dies and Light Pink Foil make a card and had kept the negative piece of foiling to use for something else.

As my Reverse Hot Foiling Plate hasn’t arrived, I decided to try using the back of the Buffalo Check Hot Foil die and the panel of Basic White card.

The result wasn’t quite what I hoped for as the foiling proved very patchy. I suspect the Buffalo Check die isn’t quite as thick as the Reverse Foil die……..lesson learned. Howver, I quite liked the rustic effect and decided to go with it by distressing the edges of the foiled white piece using Detailed Scissors.

The reverse foiled piece was then adhered to the Secret Sea panel which was mounted onto the Thick Basic White card front on Dimensionals.

I used a hot foiled sentiment, made using the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Die and the same Light Pink Foil and added it to the card front to finish my card.

Negative Garden Silhouette Card

Posted on July 12, 2026July 11, 2026 by Mo Rootes

Having made the Garden Silhouette card – see blog post on the 10th July, using the new Hot Foil System I was left with the waste foiled, negative image which I was reluctant to just throw away.

Colours used in this card are:

I created the negative garden silhouette card using the following supplies:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Calypso Coral – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White – 4¼” by ⅞”
Basic Black – 4¼” by ⅜”

I took the negative (waste) piece of Gold Foil and used a combination of my Trimmer and sharp Scissors to cut down the edges leaving a thin border.

I carefully added tiny dots of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive all over the back of the Gold Foil.

The Foil was then lifted and carefully placed onto the layer of Calypso Coral card leaving a small border. My largest Clear Block was carefully placed on top. When the block was lifted off the foil had stuck to the card panel. I mounted the panel onto the Thick Basic White card front on Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Greenery Lane stamp set onto the strip of Basic White card with Calypso Coral ink.

I added the thin strip of Basic Black card to the bottom of the sentiment strip and flagged both ends. The sentiment strip was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Hot Foil Garden Silhouette Card

Posted on July 10, 2026July 11, 2026 by Mo Rootes

Today I have been playing with the new Hot Foil System and the Garden Silhouette Hot Foil Die to make a pretty card for a special friend. Hot foiling is so much fun and the results are gorgeous.

Colours used in making this card are:

I created the hot foil garden silhouette card using the following supplies:

Blackberry Bliss card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Very Vanilla – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Golden Glow – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Two-Tone Blackberry Bliss (dark side) – 5¼” by 3½”
Very Vanilla – 2⅜” by ½”
Golden Glow – 2⅜” by ⅜”

I began by plugging in the Hot Foil System and setting it to heat up. When it reached temperature I placed the Garden Silhouette Hot Foil Die, flat side down onto the hot plate, added a piece of Gold Foil, gold side facing down and finally, placed the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Two-Tone Blackberry Bliss on top.

The Hot Foil Shim and the Hot Foil Spacer were then added and the button pressed to heat up the whole sandwich. When it reached temperature, I slowly ran the whole system through the Cut & Emboss Machine.

The excess foil was then peeled away revealing the embossed panel. This panel was then adhered to the Piece of Golden Glow card and then to one of the Very Vanilla card panels. I wrapped a length of Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine was wrapped around the whole piece before it was mounted onto the Blackberry Bliss card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Cutest Crew stamp set was stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink onto the strip of Very Vanilla card.

The strip of Golden Glow card was adhered to the behind the sentiment with a small strip of colour showing along the bottom. This was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

A Baker’s Twine bow finished the card.
