Today’s card was created using the Stampin’ Up! stamp set Speedy Recovery. I needed a small sentiment to put in the corner and I found “I miss you” from the stamp set, Cup of Tea worked perfectly! I also used the Stylish Shapes Dies and 2022-2024 In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then, I layered a piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock with a piece of In Color Designer Series Paper in Sweet Sorbet on both sides of the card. I also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
I used the two largest square dies in the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock and Basic White cardstock (the two smallest squares on my card). Then, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered the Orchid Oasis square to it. I stamped the flowers onto the small Basic White square using Memento Ink and the stamp set, Speedy Recovery. I colored it using these Stampin’ Blends:
- Sweet Sorbet
- Orchid Oasis
- Granny Apple Green
- Daffodil Delight
When I finished coloring, I stamped “I Miss You” in Sweet Sorbet ink, in the corner, using the stamp set, Cup of Tea.
To complete my card, I added three 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots in Orchid Oasis around the flowers.

Before sharing my card with you today, I want to announce the winner of my Blog Candy Giveaway! I read every single entry and immensely enjoyed reading how each of you go through a brand new catalog. I like to go from cover to cover very slowly, taking it all in. Then I go through it again and start writing down in my notebook what I’d like to purchase. Thanks so much to those of you who left a comment. I wish you could all win but I picked one name and you can find it below!
The winner of the Calming Camellia stamp set is :

Today’s Card
Today’s card is a fun fold that features the Simply Fabulous stamp set, Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and the Brilliant Wings Dies.
I started with a piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock for the base of my card. Then I used a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock, scored it in two places and adhered it to the base of the card, making sure that the larger flap was at the bottom so that the top flap could fold over the bottom one. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List,
I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card. Then, I cut a piece of Country Gingham Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the bottom panel. I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock, placed it inside one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered this piece to the top panel. The Basics 3D Embossing Folders are currently on the Low Inventory List so if you’ve been thinking about purchasing them, I recommend getting them now.
I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a square out of Basic White cardstock, Then, I placed it in my Stamparatus and stamped the sentiment in Orchid Oasis ink using the stamp set, Simply Fabulous. The Stamparatus is great for getting a dark, crisp image because the powerful magnets hold the paper in place and you can stamp over and over again until you’re happy with results.
I adhered the sentiment to a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock and then on the back, I added two rows of Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhered the piece to the top panel.
I used the Brilliant Wings Dies to cut a butterfly out of Orchid Oasis cardstock. I cut a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional in half and placed the two pieces down the middle of the butterfly and adhered it to the sentiment piece. To finish my card, I added an Iridescent Pearl to the butterfly.
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.

Today’s card was created using Flowers & More Designer Series Paper. This is a host only gift that you can choose when your order reaches $150 because then you start earning Stampin’ Rewards. You can find this pack of paper on page 90 in the Mini Catalog. I also used the stamp set, Love Cats and the Stylish Shapes Dies.
I started with a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock for the base of my card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then I added a layer of Fresh Freesia cardstock. This is one of the In Colors that will be retiring but with the Color Refresh, it could possibly be back (I’m keeping my fingers crossed). If you love this color and will be disappointed if it isn’t coming back, you’ll want to be sure to stock up on ink refills and cardstock in this color just as soon as you can. The stamp pad has been on the Low Inventory List since last week. You can see some of the Fresh Freesia products here.
I cut a piece of Flowers & More Designer Series Paper that measures 3-3/4″ x 3″. I put the 3-3/4″ edge at the top of my trimmer and cut 3/4″ strips for a total of five. Then I glued them to a piece of Basic White cardstock and then adhered this piece to the Fresh Freesia.
I stamped the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Love Cats. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Then, I cut a larger stitched circle, using the same dies, out of Fresh Freesia. I adhered the two pieces together, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the center of the card. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added three Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems, in Fresh Freesia, around the sentiment.
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.
Measurements
- Blackberry Bliss cardstock: 11″ x 4-1/4″ score at 5-1/2″
- Fresh Freesia cardstock: 5-1/4″ x 4″
- Fresh Freesia cardstock: approx. 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″
- Basic White cardstock (the strips will be glued to this piece): 5″ x 3-3/4″
- Basic White cardstock (inside): 5-1/4″ x 4″
- Basic White cardstock (sentiment): approx. 2-1/4″ x 2-1/4″
