Today’s cards features Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (which is currently on sale) and the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I used the same design of Peony Garden Designer Series Paper for all three cards but on this first one, I added an embossed panel of Gray Granite cardstock.
The sentiment, from the stamp set Life Is Beautiful, was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using Gray Granite ink and was then cut out with the Tasteful Labels Dies.
On this next card, I replaced the embossed Gray Granite cardstock with Old Olive cardstock and the sentiment was stamped in Old Olive ink.
And here’s another version of the card using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies which were used to cut out the sentiment and the stitched Old Olive rectangle.
If you’d like to create today’s card, you’ll find the measurements below the Supply List.

The card I’m sharing today features Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (this is one of fifteen papers on sale during the month of October!) and our Poinsettia Dies.
I started with a base of Thick Whisper White cardstock and then added a layer of Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (all the measurements I used can be found below the Supply List). Next, I created the Poinsettia using the Poinsettia Dies, Whisper White cardstock and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. When you cut each poinsettia out, the paper will also be embossed! To do this, you’ll use two pieces, the outline and the piece that fits inside (you’ll do this for the leaves too) and then run it through your die-cutting machine. I added blue tape (these two dies have gone through my machine at least a hundred times) to the dies so I could easily and quickly know how to fit them together (I tried permanent ink but it rubbed off).
A beautiful Beaded Pearl was added to the center of the poinsettia. These pearls are so pretty in person and really add elegance to a card. They’ve been very popular and are now on the Low Inventory List which means they can go into backorder status at any time. If you’d had your eye on them, grab some while you can!
I embossed the sentiment using Silver Embossing Powder and the stamp set, Banner Year. Here are directions for embossing:
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing an anti-static pouch over the surface (this helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder). 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. 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 the magic happen!

You can see the original post here. The Designer Series Paper I used, Snowflake Splendor, is one of fifteen papers on sale this month! You can see all the papers on sale HERE. Three Designer Series Papers are currently on the Low Inventory List which means they could go into Backorder status before the end of the promotion so grab them while you can: Peony Garden, Playful Pets and Forever Greenery.

The card I’m sharing today features the Autumn Punch Pack and one of two folders included in the Meadow Moments Embossing Folders. These punches have been so popular and are currently on the Low Inventory List which means they could go into backorder status soon. If you’ve had your eye on these punches, I’d recommend purchasing them as soon as you can. The Beautiful Autumn Bundle which includes the Beautiful Autumn stamp set & the Autumn Punch Pack will save you 10%.
I started with a base of Crushed Curry cardstock and then added a layer of Very Vanilla cardstock. I embossed another piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, layered it with more Crushed Curry and popped that layer up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped onto Very Vanilla cardstock using the stamp set, Banner Year (which has some great seasonal sentiments and images) and Cajun Craze ink. I cut it out, along with the Cajun Craze mat, using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.
The colors of the leaves are Real Red, Old Olive, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze. Before adding each one to my card, I added a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional to the back. I added a piece of Very Vanilla to the inside of the card and glued a Real Red leaf to the inside. If you’d like to make today’s card, all the measurements can be found below the Supply List.

Today’s card features Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (on sale this month!) and the Snowflake Wishes Bundle. The Snowflake Wishes Bundle includes the Snowflake Wishes stamp set and So Many Snowflakes Dies. You can purchase these products individually but the bundle price will save you 10%!
I started with a base of Balmy Blue cardstock and then added a layer of Whisper White cardstock (you can find all the measurements below the Supply List). The next piece of Balmy Blue cardstock was embossed with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Another layer was added of Whisper White cardstock and Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper.
The sentiment was stamped in Pacific Point ink onto Whisper White cardstock and was cut out using the Rectangle Stitched Dies. The Balmy Blue cardstock was also cut out with these dies. The snowflake was made using the beautiful Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper and So Many Snowflakes Dies. I used Mini Glue Dots (rolled into a ball) on the back of the snowflake to adhere it to the card and a rhinestone was added to the center.

Today’s card features Playful Pets Designer Series Paper (it’s on sale!) and the Pampered Pets Bundle. I initially passed on this paper but when it went on sale, I grabbed several packages. It’s so cute! I don’t know why I waited so long to get it!
I started with a base of Real Red cardstock and then added a layer of Playful Pets Designer Series Paper (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). Whisper White cardstock (it was cut out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies) was embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and then layered onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock. This layer is popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The cute dog was cut out of the Designer Series Paper using the Pets Dies. The sentiment was stamped in Memento Ink onto Whisper White cardstock using the stamp set Pampered Pets. The Pampered Pets Bundle includes both the Pampered Pets stamp set and the Pets Dies and will save you 10% rather than buying each individually.
The sentiment was cut out using the Stitched Shapes Dies and is layered onto a piece of Real Red cardstock that was cut out with the Layering Ovals Dies. Both the dog and the sentiment were adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Today’s card features the Snowflake Wishes Bundle which includes the Snowflake Wishes stamp set and So Many Snowflakes Dies.
I started with a base of Thick Whisper White cardstock and then added a layer of Whisper White cardstock that was embossed using the Winter Snow Embossing Folder and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. The two stitched rectangles were made using the Rectangle Stitched Dies. These dies are currently on the Low Inventory List which means they could go on backorder soon so grab them while they’re still in stock.
The two snowflakes were made using the So Many Snowflakes Dies. I used Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper for the bottom snowflake (you can find this paper in the Mini Catalog) and Silver Foil for the top snowflake. To the Silver Foil snowflake, I added Glue Dots (I rolled them into a ball) and placed them all around the center before attaching it to the Glimmer Paper snowflake. Two Dimensionals were added to the back before adhering it to the Stitched Rectangle. The sentiment was stamped in Balmy Blue ink. If you’d like to make today’s card, all the measurements I used can be found below the Supply List.

Today I have another card featuring Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper, one of fifteen packages of Designer Series Paper on sale this month.
The Designer Series Paper is definitely the star of this card! I started with a base of Pretty Peacock cardstock and then added a layer of Garden Green. These two colors coordinate beautifully with this design.
The sentiment was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink using the stamp set, Country Home. and was cut out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. For some sparkle, I added three Holiday Rhinestones in Coastal Cabana. Don’t let the name of these rhinestones fool you. They can be used any time of the year!
