Today’s card features the very adorable, Adorable Owls stamp set. I also used the stamp set, Around the Bend (for the sentiment and can be purchased in either cling or photopolymer) and Enjoy the Journey Designer Series Paper. The Adorable Owls stamp set can be earned, FREE, with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration!


I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I layered a piece of Enjoy the Journey Designer Series Paper with a piece of Pale Papaya cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the cute owl onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento ink then cut it out using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I also used these dies to cut a larger scalloped rectangle out of Basic White cardstock. I colored the owl using these Stampin’ Blends:
- Crumb Cake Light and Dark (body)
- Pool Party Light (eyes)
- Balmy Blue Light (eyes)
- Pale Papaya Light (beak and feet)


After I colored the owl, I stamped the sentiment using Memento Ink below the owl. Then, I adhered the smaller rectangle to the larger one. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the larger rectangle and adhered it to the front of the card.


To complete my card, I added five Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots around the owl.

Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper is a free gift you can choose when you make a $50 purchase.


I started with a piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock and scored it in two places (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). I cut two pieces of Basic White cardstock and placed them in the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then I adhered the larger piece to the left side and the smaller piece, on the right.


I cut another piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock and layered it with a piece of Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper. On the back, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right side and down the middle and then adhered it to the left panel. I stamped the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the Designer Series Paper. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
Here’s another version of the card but I used the Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder.

Orders must be placed by today, January 23, 2022 and the Card Samplers will be mailed approximately February 2, 2023.


Today’s card was created using Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, Around the Bend stamp set and the Decorative Circle Punch, (which is currently on the Low Inventory List).
Before going any further, I want to make you aware that Stampin’ Up! has released six stamp sets and/or bundles in the Mini Catalog that come in a choice of photopolymer or cling rubber. The stamp sets/bundles are:
- Around the Bend pg. 35

- Silly Goose pg. 27
- Happy Labels pg. 53
With each of these stamp sets, I will be linking up the picture of the stamp set/bundle in photopolymer but in my Supply List, I’ll list both options.


I started with a piece of Highland Heather cardstock and scored it in two places (you can see the measurements below the Supply List). After burnishing my score lines, I cut two pieces of Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper and adhered them both to the front of the card.


I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock in Gorgeous Grape ink and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Then I used the Decorative Circle Punch to cut the shape out of Highland Heather cardstock and adhered the sentiment to the front. On the back of the Highland Heather circle, I added two rows of Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right side only and then adhered it to the left flap.


To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card and added five Opaque Adhesive Backed Gems to the front of the card.

The card I’m sharing with you today is another version of the card I shared yesterday. I used Stampin’ Up! Regency Park 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Full of Love. You can see the other version of today’s card, here.

After adhering these pieces to the front of the card, I layered a piece of Night of Navy cardstock and Regency Park Designer Series Paper. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.


I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink using the stamp set, Full of Love. I then cut the sentiment out using the Meadow Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.



To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added two Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots to each side of the sentiment.
