Today’s cards were made using Dandy Designs 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and you can choose it FREE with a $100 purchase during Sale-a-Bration! It’s a whopping big package and contains 48 sheets of paper!! Sale-a-Bration begins on January 5th, the same day the new Mini Catalog goes live. Sale-a-Bration will last until February 28th and in the past several years we’ve had a second round of Sale-a-Bration later in the year but for 2023, this will be the only Sale-a-Bration.
The new products on my cards are:
- Dandy Designs 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper #160836 (free with a $100 order during Sale-a-Bration)
- Nested Friends Stamp Set #160322
- Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems #160412

I started with a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock and then added a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder. Then I cut another piece of Balmy Blue cardstock and adhered a piece of Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper to the front. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card, over to the left.


I stamped the sentiment in Balmy Blue ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Nested Friends. I cut it out using the Stitched Rectangles Dies and also cut a larger one out of Balmy Blue cardstock. I adhered the two pieces together, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card (I didn’t add Dimensionals on the part that hangs off).

To complete my card, I added three Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems below the sentiment and adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
Here’s two more versions of the card and both were also made with Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper. This first one was made with Fresh Freesia cardstock, Fresh Freesia ink and the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.



This next card was made with Balmy Blue cardstock, Balmy Blue ink and the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder .

I hope you each had a very happy holiday!
Today’s card was made with several new products that will debut on January 5th when the new Mini Catalog goes live!

The new products on my card are:
- Sentimental Park stamp set #160561
- Regency Park 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper #160559
- Night of Navy 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon #160581
I started with a base of Balmy Blue cardstock and added a layer of Basic White cardstock that was embossed using the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder. I cut another piece of Balmy Blue cardstock and adhered a piece of Regency Park Designer Series Paper. I then wrapped a piece of Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon around this layer and tied a knot. I added Stampin Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.


I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Night of Navy ink and the stamp set, Sentimental Park. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to just the top and bottom of the sentiment and adhered it on top of the ribbon. I find that if I add Dimensionals to the center of the sentiment, it doesn’t sit well on the ribbon.

To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Today’s card was created using the Nature’s Prints Bundle which includes the stamp set, Nature’s Prints and the Natural Prints Dies. I also used In Color 2022-2024 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I was inspired to create my card from one I saw on Jackie’s blog, a fellow demonstrator. You can see her beautiful cards here.


I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I adhered pieces of Designer Series Paper around the edges of the card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Next, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered it to the center of the card.


On another piece of Basic White cardstock I stamped the leaves using Tahitian Tide ink and the stamp set, Nature’s Prints. I cut it out using the Natural Prints Dies and adhered it to the embossed cardstock.


Next, I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Tahitian Tide ink and the stamp set, Nature’s Prints. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete the card, I added three Basic Rhinestones to the front.

Today I have another sneak peek of new products debuting on January 5, 2023 in the January – April Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog! The new products are:
- Love Cats stamp set #160410
- Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper #160375

I started with a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock for the base of my card. Then I ran a piece of Basic White cardstock through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Into the Clouds Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card base. I cut a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock and adhered a piece of Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper (available January 5th) to the front and then adhered it to the left side of the card base.


I used my Stamparatus to stamp the cute cat from the stamp set, Love Cats (available January 5th). If you want a really bold image, the Stamparatus is perfect for the job because you can keep stamping in the same place. I stamped the cat on Basic White cardstock using Memento ink and then cut him out using the Layering Circles Dies. I colored the heart using my Real Red Dark Stampin’ Blend. I cut another, larger, scalloped circle, again using the Layering Circles Dies, and adhered the cat to the front. Then I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.


I stamped my sentiment in Memento Ink using the stamp set Framed Florets and cut it out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it below the cat.



To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card and added three Iridescent Pearls to the front.
