Last week I featured the Basic Borders Dies and I couldn’t help but play with them again using Texture Chic Designer Series Paper. I have two cards to share with you.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Before adhering it to the front of the card, I placed a piece of Petal Pink cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) inside the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I like using bright colors and Petal Pink isn’t one of my favorites but I have to say I love it with this paper!
I used the Basic Borders Dies to cut a piece of Texture Chic Designer Series Paper and then adhered it to the front of the card. Next, I heat embossed the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using gold embossing powder (found in a set called Metallics Embossing Powders), Versamark ink and the stamp set, Cup of Tea. If you’ve never heat embossed before (you’ll love it and it’s easy), you can find the directions below. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and then cut another larger stitched circle out of Gold Foil. I adhered the sentiment to the foil circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card.
To complete my card, I added three Festive Pearls to the front of the card. These pearls have been on backorder but are now back in stock!
Here’s one more card I made and although you might think it’s the same card, the design of the paper is different.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy (an anti-static pouch that can be found in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit) over the surface of the paper as it 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 and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so your paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image is transformed (it will be shiny)!

Today I’m sharing a treat holder I made using the Stampin’ Up! Mini Pocket Envelope Dies. If you need little treat holders, these dies make it easy to create them really fast! Since school has started up again, my mind went to teacher treats. I was an elementary teacher for 22 years and it’s hard not to think about the beginning of a new school year. I have a Ghirardelli chocolate inside and what teacher wouldn’t enjoy one after school? Yes, please!!
I made my Pocket Envelope using Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper and the Mini Pocket Envelope die. After cutting it out, I folded along all the score lines and then added Mini Glue Dots along two of the edges and assembled the envelope. Really easy!
Next, I used the Apple Harvest Bundle to stamp the apple in Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock and cut it out using the Apple Blossoms Dies. Before cutting it out, I colored it using Real Red, Granny Apple Green and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. I added my chocolate to the envelope and then wrapped White Baker’s Twine around the envelope three times and tied it off in the center of the envelope. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the apple and placed it on the envelope.
The Apple Harvest Bundle includes the Apple Harvest stamp set and the Apple Blossoms Dies. This bundle is part of the Perfect Partners Promotion. The stamp set can be found in the Annual Catalog but the dies (and bundle) are only available until September 30 or while supplies last. To download the flyer for this promotion, click here (there are two pages).
I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Lovely You. I cut it out with the Playful Piggy Dies (another set of dies in the Perfect Partners promotion and only available until September 30th or while supplies last) and adhered it to the envelope.

Today’s card was created using Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper and the Amazing Thanks Dies. This card may look like it’s hard to make but it really isn’t!
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for my card base. I then used the Amazing Thanks Dies to cut the word thanks out of Early Espresso cardstock (the chunkier thanks) and one out of Basic White cardstock (the “thinner” one). I used Multipurpose Glue to adhere the two pieces together and then added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back (I had to cut some of the dimensionals in half).
Then I cut a piece of Early Espresso cardstock and Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper in half on the diagonal (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). For each piece I placed the top right corner (on the shorter side) and the bottom left corner in the track of my Paper Trimmer and then cut. I then glued the Designer Series Paper to the cardstock and then adhered them to my card front.
Then I adhered the “thanks” between the two pieces. To complete the card, I added three Rhinestones.

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I cut three pieces of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper into three strips and adhered them to the front of the card.

I cut the pig out using the Playful Piggy Dies.
I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut a scalloped circle out of Balmy Blue cardstock and another circle out of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the two together, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the center of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink using the stamp set, This Birthday Piggy and then cut it out using the Playful Piggy Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the back of the pig then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of both the pig and sentiment and adhered them to the front of the card.
