Last weekend we held the first Hamilton Extravaganza of the year—and it was such a blast!  Everyone enjoyed creating five fabulous projects using new products from the January–April 2026 Mini Catalogue, along with recently released Online Exclusives.  The project that my partner, Fiona, and I taught featured the stunning Delicate Dreams Suite.

Delicate Dreams Suite (167512) - $194.75
Includes: Delicate Whispers Stamp Set + Delicate Whispers Dies (10%-off), Delicate Dreams 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper, Delicate Designs 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper, Gray Granite 1/4" Variegated Trim, and Natural Matte Dots.

Taking centre stage on the card front is the gorgeous Delicate Dreams 12” x 12” Specialty Designer Series Paper.  With its soft blue and green tones and elegant bronze foil accents, it really is something special.

Inspired by the colours in the patterned paper, this card begins with a Crumb Cake card base.  To add texture to the lower half, we stamped Crumb Cake Two-Tone cardstock in Crumb Cake ink using the delicate background image from the Delicate Whispers Bundle.  After a light spritz of water and a gentle scrunch, the result is beautifully textured with a soft, subtle stamped effect—such a simple technique with a stunning finish.

The front is completed with an arch die-cut using the Everyday Arches Dies, along with a delicate floral flourish from the Delicate Whispers Bundle, coloured with Balmy Blue, Night of Navy, and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends.

But where did we die-cut that arch from…?  Well, it’s from the inside!

This fun-fold card reveals a lovely pop-up diorama inside.  The arch was die-cut from the centre panel to create a window, with more stamped-and-scrunched Crumb Cake Two-Tone cardstock layered behind, along with an additional sentiment and floral details.

It was such a fun and inspiring day, and everyone headed home with new ideas, creative confidence, and projects they could be proud of.  If you’d love to join us for the next Hamilton Extravaganza in July, be sure to subscribe to my email updates so you’re the first to know when registrations open—I’d love to see you there!
