I love using Designer Series Paper to create my cards and my favorite in the new catalog is Hues of Happiness. I love flowers and the colors used in this paper are so vibrant and beautiful plus you can cut many of the flowers out using the coordinating Blossoming Happiness Dies. Today’s card combines Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper with the Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes.
I started with one of the card bases in the Tea Boutique Cards and Envelopes Pack (you can see another card I made with a different card base here). Then I stamped the teacup in Starry Sky ink (one of the new In Colors) using the Cup of Tea stamp set and cut it out using the Teacup Dies (these two products can be purchased together in the Cup of Tea Bundle).
Next I cut two flowers and three sets of leaves out of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper using the Blossoming Happiness Dies. These dies can be purchased separately but the Happiness Abounds Bundle is available which includes the Happiness Abounds stamp set and Blossoming Happiness Dies. I used Multipurpose Glue to adhere the bottom flower and popped the top one up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tucked the leaves in around the flowers.
I stamped the sentiment in Starry Sky ink using the stamp set, Cup of Tea, and cut it out using the Layering Circles Dies. I popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. To complete my card, I added three 2022 -2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots to the front of the card.

Some of you may have noticed that in the past few weeks I haven’t shared a free tutorial on Saturday. I love providing free tutorials but it just came down to not having enough hours in each day to get everything done. I had to reassess and make the hard decision to discontinue them, for now. I will still continue to share here on my blog and I hope that my cards will inspire you to create. Thanks for your understanding!
Today’s card was made specifically for a special someone who’s going through a difficult time right now. It features the stamp set, Inspired Thoughts, Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper and the Double Oval Punch.
I started with a base of Pool Party cardstock and scored it in two places so the card would open in a fun way (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card. Then I placed two pieces of Basic White cards inside the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the two pieces to the front of the card.
I cut another piece of Pool Party cardstock and adhered a piece of Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper to the front. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the upper half of the cardstock and adhered it to the top panel. I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock in Pool Party ink using the stamp set, Inspired Thoughts. I cut it out using the Double Oval Punch, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the top panel.
To complete the card, I added a large Brushed Brass Butterfly below the sentiment.

Today’s card features Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper. Nothing says spring quite like flowers and I think we could all use a little spring! I also used the Flowering Tulips stamp set for my sentiment.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock. I layered two pieces of Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper with two pieces of Rich Razzleberry cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I adhered the bottom layer to the card front using Multipurpose Glue but used Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the flowery piece. I love dimension on my cards and 99% of the time, pop up at least one of the layers.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Rich Razzleberry ink and the stamp set, Flowering Tulips, and cut it out using the Layering Circles Dies. I used these same dies to cut a larger, scalloped circle out of Rich Razzleberry and then adhered the two pieces together. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added three Polished Dots to the Designer Series Paper.
Bundle Alert: The Flowering Tulips Bundle includes the Flowering Tulips stamp set and the Tulips Dies. You always save 10% when a bundle is purchased.
