by Tracy | Feb 23, 2022 | Card Sampler, Layering Circles Dies
Happy Wednesday!
Today’s cards were made using Stampin’ Up! Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper and the Peaceful Moments stamp set.This paper is a different size than we’ve carried before (4″ x 6″) and one side of this double-sided paper has gold accents so I used our Gold Foil Sheets on both cards.


I started with a piece of Polished Pink cardstock and then added a layer of Gold Foil and another piece of Polished Pink that I embossed using the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder.

Then I layered a piece of Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper with a piece of Basic White cardstock. I wrapped a piece of white ribbon (from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack) around the two layers and tied a knot. I placed Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back and adhered it to the front of the card. The sentiment was stamped in Polished Pink and cut out with the Layering Circles Dies. I cut a larger scalloped circle out of Gold Foil, adhered the two together, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the top and bottom (I didn’t put any in the middle so they weren’t sitting on the ribbon) and placed it on the card. To complete the card, I added three Brushed Brass Butterflies.

I created this next card first and afterwards decided I wanted a piece of Gold Foil for the second layer. I used Blushing Bride and Balmy Blue cardstock and the sentiment was stamped in Balmy Blue. The Blushing Bride cardstock was embossed using the Painted Texture Embossing Folder and I placed five Polished Dots on the front of the card. You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Today’s quick and easy card was created using Stampin’ Up! Heart & Home Designer Series Paper, Stitched Rectangles Dies and Hippo & Friends Dies.


I started with a piece of Pale Papaya cardstock for the card base and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I used the Stitched Rectangles Dies to cut two pieces of Heart & Home Designer Series Paper and adhered them to the front of the card.


I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Garden Green ink and the stamp set, Flowing Flowers and then cut it out using the Hippo & Friends Dies. Next, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and placed it in the middle of the card. To complete my card, I added three Polished Dots to the sentiment piece and adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside. Imagine all the possibilities using different colors of cardstock and Designer Series Paper!

Today’s card is a quick and easy one that was made using Stampin’ Up! Ornate Frames Dies, Ornate Layers Dies and Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper.


I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that was embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Usually I add a layer that’s a little bit smaller than the card base but this piece is the same size as the base. Next, I used the Ornate Layers Dies to cut a piece of Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper and then adhered it to the card front.


I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Rich Razzleberry ink and the stamp set, Eclectic Garden. I cut it out using the Ornate Frames Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.


To complete the card, I added three Opal Rounds to the front of the card. See? Easy!!
