Today I have another card using the Adorable Owls stamp set. I also used Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper and the Gingham Embossing Folder. Both the Adorable Owls stamp set and the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper are free with a qualifying purchase during Sale-a-Bration. Read on for more information!



I started with a piece Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I layered a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock with a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Gingham Embossing Folder. Then, I adhered it to the front of the card.
Next, I layered another piece of Balmy Blue cardstock with Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. Dandy Designs is a HUGE pack of paper and you can earn it FREE with a $100 purchase.


I stamped the owl using the Adorable Owls stamp set in Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock. I colored the owl using these Stampin’ Blends:
- Crumb Cake Light and Dark
- Pool Party Light
- Balmy Blue Light
- Petal Pink Light
After coloring the owl, I cut him out using the Layering Circles Dies. Using these same dies, I cut a larger scalloped circle out of Balmy Blue and adhered the owl to it. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper.

I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Memento ink and the stamp set, Easter Bunny. I then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies (these dies have been out of stock for quite some time but Stampin’ Up! is estimating they’ll be back in stock the week of February 13th). I added adhesive to the top part of the sentiment only and adhered it to the Designer Series Paper layer.

I colored five rhinestones using my Dark Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend, although it’s hard to tell in the pictures. It’s so nice to be able to color rhinestones to match your card! I have to admit, I forgot about this trick!

Happy Friday!!
Today’s card was created using Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper, Fragrant Flowers Dies and the Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder. Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper 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 cut a strip of Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the front of the card. I cut a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock, placed it inside the Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I then adhered it to the bottom of the card base.


I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a scalloped rectangle out of Basic White cardstock. Then I used the Fragrant Flowers Dies to cut the flowers out on one of the patterns in the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper. I love when we can use the dies to cut a shape out of our paper! I adhered the flowers to the scalloped rectangle and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the rectangle and placed it on the front of my card.


I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Limited Edition stamp set. I cut it out using the All That Dies. I added adhesive just to the part of the sentiment that would be “sitting” on the scalloped rectangle. To complete my card I added three (two small and one large) Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots.
