by Tracy | Oct 25, 2021 | Card Sampler, Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Fun Fold Card, Heat Embossing, Layering Circles Dies
I always love when a card opens in a different way and my book binding card today is super easy to make!
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) and scored it in two places. Then I folded the card in half and then folded the other piece back (see the picture below).
I put Tear & Tape on the small section (I like using Tear & Tape but any strong adhesive will work). I then folded the piece over towards the right and this creates the book biding look.
I added Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper to the large front panel and the panel on the left. I used our 1-1/2″ Metallic Mesh Ribbon and tied it around the left side. Since I used a heavy duty adhesive, the ribbon is purely decorative. This mesh ribbon is gorgeous with all the silver running through it .You could even use this to wrap presents!
I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and a larger, scalloped circle out of Silver Foil. On the Basic White cardstock, I embossed the sentiment using the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set, Versamark ink, Silver Embossing Powder and a Heat Tool. Embossing is so easy to do and I really think it makes a card look so elegant. If you’ve never embossed before, I have directions below. I adhered the sentiment to the Silver Foil and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Silver Foil circle and adhered it to the front of the card.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing an anti-static pouch over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder (Stampin’ Up! no longer carries this product but it’s a must when embossing). Stamp your sentiment or image using a Versamark pad. This is very sticky ink and your embossing powder will stick right to it. Sprinkle embossing powder over the stamped image and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so the paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image is transformed!
Supply List
Below you’ll find all the Stampin’ Up! supplies I used for today’s card. If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your demonstrator! You can place an order by clicking any of the images below to go to my Stampin’ Up! online store.

Can you believe it’s Friday already??? Today’s FREE tutorial features Ever Eden 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper . This paper will be available beginning November 2, 2021 and is part of an early release collection. This collection will be in the January – June Mini Catalog but Stampin’ Up! is releasing it early! This early release collection includes the Eden’s Garden Cling stamp set, Eden Dies, Ever Eden 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper, Ever Eden 12″ x 12″ Cotton Paper, and Garden Gems.
The following products will only be available while supplies last once they’re released on November 2nd:
-
- Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper
- Ever Eden Cotton Paper
- Garden Gems
Click here for the flyer of the Eden’s Garden collection!
Here’s another version of the card using another design in the Ever Eden Designer Series Paper pack.
One of the products I used on both cards is the Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder. You cannot purchase this embossing folder separately. I was a bit confused when I saw it in the catalog (and online) so I want to clear up any confusion. When you purchase the Bloom Dies (page 157 in the Annual Catalog), you will receive 9 dies and the Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder. That being said, when you search for Bloom Dies on the website, Bloom Dies does not come up in your search but instead you’ll be directed to Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder. So confusing but the bottom line is that you can’t order it separately. Here’s how you can get this embossing folder:
Bloom Dies #155989 – includes dies and embossing folder On the Stampin’ Up! website, it will be listed as Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder but this price includes the folder and dies
Art in Bloom Bundle #158368 – includes photopolymer Art in Bloom stamp set, Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder and 9 Dies.
You can access your free tutorial below the supply list.

by Tracy | Oct 21, 2021 | Card Sampler, Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders
Today I’m sharing a card that was recently in my Christmas to Remember Card Sampler. It features Stampin’ Up! Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper, Wonderful Snowflakes, Stitched Rectangle Dies and the stamp set, Christmas to Remember.
I started with a piece of Early Espresso cardstock and added a layer of Basic White cardstock. Then I embossed a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the front of the card. Using the Stitched Rectangles Dies, I cut three pieces of Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper and adhered them to the front of the card.
I used two snowflakes and placed a Stampin’ Dimensional on the back of each one and then placed them on top of the rectangles. Using the Seasonal Labels Dies, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then stamped the sentiment using Evening Evergreen ink and the stamp set Christmas to Remember. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete the card, I added three Elegant Faceted Gems to the front and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

My Words of Cheer Card Sampler will be debuting tomorrow too!
Today’s card is a fun fold and it features the Stitched Leaves Dies, Love of Leaves stamp set,Timber 3D Embossing Folder and Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper. This card was one of the cards featured in my recent Love of Leaves Card Sampler.
I started with a piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock and scored it in two places to create the fun fold (you’ll find the measurements below the Supply List). I then adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card. Next, I layered a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock and Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper together and adhered them to the panel on the left front.
Next, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the front/middle section of the card. I used the Hippo & Friends Dies to cut a shape out of a piece of Basic White cardstock and a larger one out of Cajun Craze cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in Cajun Craze ink over to the right of the Basic White shape and then adhered it to the Cajun Craze cardstock. On the back, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the left side only and adhered it to the front of the card. This creates a flap and the left side of the card will tuck under it.
Using the Stitched Leaves Dies, I cut a leaf out of Mossy Meadow cardstock and another out of Cajun Craze cardstock. I adhered the Cajun Craze leaf to the sentiment piece using Multipurpose Glue and then added a Stampin’ Dimensional to the back of the Mossy Meadow leaf and placed it beside the other leaf. I made a bow using the Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon and attached it between the two leaves using a Mini Glue Dot (or you could use a tiny amount of Multipurpose Glue).

by Tracy | Oct 18, 2021 | Designer Series Paper, Embossing Folders
Happy Monday! I hope you had a nice weekend!
Today’s card features Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper, Wintry 3D Embossing Folders and the stamp set, Snowman Season.
I started with a base of Thick Whisper White cardstock and then added a layer of Smoky Slate cardstock that I ran through one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders. The entire piece of cardstock doesn’t fit in the the embossing folder but that’s okay. Just adhere it to your card base with the unembossed part on the left. Next, I added a strip of Peaceful Place 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List) to the front of the card.
Then I stamped the sentiment and snowman from the Snowman Season stamp set onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink. If you don’t want the tree to be black, you can do what I did. I took a small post it note (just the sticky part) and placed it over the tree and then I inked up the stamp set. I then took off the post it and used my Old Olive Stampin’ Write Marker (don’t use Stampin’ Blends) and colored directly onto the stamp with the marker. At this point, you’ll have to huff all over the stamp to reactivate the ink (it feels silly but it works) and then stamp onto your paper.
I colored the snowman’s hat and scarf using the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend and the Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blend for his nose. I used the Light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend under the snowman. Then I adhered the snowman to a piece of Silver Foil Specialty Paper. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. The final touch was to add three white Elegant Faceted Gems to the front of the card.

by Tracy | Oct 13, 2021 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders
Today’s card features Tidings of Christmas 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders and the Snowbody Better stamp set.
Low Inventory/Backorder Update: Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper has been on the Low Inventory List for about a week now and could go into backorder status any day. If you’d like a package, I recommend getting it just as soon as you can!
Whimsy & Wonder 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and Peaceful Place 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper were on backorder but both are now in stock. This could change at any time. Stampin’ Up!, just like all companies these days, is feeling the effects of global shipping delays. They are doing everything they can to keep Stampin’ Up! products available.
Back to today’s card!
To create today’s card, I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock. Then I added a piece of Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper towards the bottom of the card front.
Then I layered pieces of Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent cardstock together. These are colors I do not normally gravitate towards but they are so beautiful with our Designer Series Paper and so pretty together! I cut two pieces of Evening Evergreen cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) and then ran them through one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders. I also cut two pieces of Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper and adhered all four pieces to the Soft Succulent cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Evening Evergreen cardstock and adhered it to the card front.
I cut a snowflake out of our Silver Foil 12″ x 12″ Specialty Paper using the So Many Snowflakes Dies. I added very small drops of Multipurpose Glue to the back of the snowflake and adhered it to the front of the card. Another option would be to use our Adhesive Sheets. Simply cut a piece of the adhesive sheet the size of the snowflake, take the backing off of the adhesive sheet and adhere the sticky part to the back of the Silver Foil. After you’ve cut out the snowflake, peel the backing off and the adhesive will be on the back of the snowflake! Easy!
To complete the card, I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Soft Succulent cardstock in Evening Evergreen ink using the stamp set, Snowbody Better. Ninety-Nine percent of the time, I stamp my sentiments onto Basic White cardstock which I did for this card but thought it looked a bit harsh so I opted for the Soft Succulent. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. After I had already adhered the snowflake to the front, I wished I had placed it a little bit higher so that when I placed the sentiment, you could see the separation between the Designer Series Paper and the embossed Evening Evergreen square. If you make this card, you might want to see which way you like it better.

Today’s card features the stamp set Perfectly Plaid, the Pine Tree Punch, the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders and Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper.
I began with a base of Early Espresso cardstock (all the measurements I used can be found below the Supply List) and then added a layer of Evening Evergreen cardstock. Then I added two squares of Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper.
I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders and then layered it onto a piece of Early Espresso cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used the Perfectly Plaid stamp set to stamp two trees in Evening Evergreen ink. The tree in the forefront was stamped onto a piece of scrap paper and then stamped onto my Basic White cardstock. The darker tree was adhered using Multipurpse Liquid Glue and the other tree has a Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back. The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso ink and cut out using the Stitched Rectangles Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it below the trees.
To complete my card, I added two Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
