by Tracy | Mar 10, 2022 | Quick & Easy Card
Today I have three quick and easy cards to share with you and all three cards were made using the Amazing Thanks Dies (these dies are compatible with the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine).
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Just Jade cardstock and Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper. Then I used the Amazing Thanks Dies to cut “thanks” out of Just Jade cardstock and Gold Foil. I layered the pieces together using small dots of Multipurpose Glue. I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and needed to cut some in half, which I did with my Paper Snips. I have two pairs of Paper Snips – one for cutting anything sticky, like dimensionals and the other pair for paper. If you need a nice sharp pair of small scissors, you won’t be disappointed with our Paper Snips. I’ve had mine for years and they are still as sharp as they were when I bought them.
To complete my card, I added five Metallic Pearls to the front.
For this next card I used Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper but used Magenta Madness and Basic White cardstock to create the “thanks”. I used Metallic Pearls on this card to match the foil swirls in this beautiful paper.
For this last card I used Pattern Party Designer Series Paper. This paper is a host only product which means you can choose it once your order reaches $150. It is a giant package of paper with 48 sheets. Each host only item has a price associated with it. With a $150 order, you would receive $15.00 in Stampin’ Rewards (you earn 10% in rewards up to $300). The “price” of this paper is $18.00 so with a $150 order, you’d pay the overage of $3.00 for this huge pack of paper.
I used Basic Black as the accent color for this card and used five of our Classic Matte Dots to sprinkle around the Designer Series Paper.

Today’s card features the All Squared Away Bundle which is on sale this month! This bundle includes the All Squared Away stamp set and the Floral Squares Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for my card base. I layered a piece of Just Jade cardstock with a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder. Before adhering it to the card base, I wrapped Just Jade ribbon (included in the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack) around the two pieces and tied a knot. On a side note, I LOVE the White ribbon in the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack. It’s wider than the other white ribbon in the catalog and it’s easy to tie in a knot and looks so pretty on a card. The Just Jade ribbon is also easy to tie (if it isn’t easy to tie, then I usually don’t use it).
On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the piece behind the flower (“bubbles”) using the All Squared Away stamp set in Just Jade ink and then trimmed it leaving a border around the edges. I used the Floral Squares Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then adhered it to the piece I just trimmed. Then both of those pieces were layered onto a piece of Just Jade cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Just Jade ink using the stamp set Boughs & Blossoms and then cut it out using a die from the Meadows Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the card. If you would like to make today’s card, you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.
Just Jade is one of five colors that will be retiring this year (sigh). If you need cardstock, ink refills, Stampin’ Blends, or an ink pad for any of these colors, I’d recommend purchasing them now. Once the retiring list is out (later this month) the products in all the retiring colors usually sell out quickly. To see the products for each color, click on each color below.

by Tracy | Mar 4, 2022 | Bundle, Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders, Scalloped Contours Dies
Today’s card features the Sweet as Peach Bundle (on sale the month of March) and the Scalloped Contours Dies. The Sweet as a Peach Bundle (compatible with the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine and on sale this month) includes the Sweet as a Peach stamp set and the Peach Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White Cardstock that I ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using one of the Meadow Moments Embossing Folders. These embossing folders are smaller (compatible with the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine) and the entire piece of paper will not be completely embossed but I covered the part that wasn’t embossed with a piece of You’re a Peach Designer Series Paper.
I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a scalloped rectangle out of a piece of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink using the Sweet as a Peach stamp set and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
Using the Sweet as a Peach stamp set, I stamped the leaves in Pear Pizzazz ink and the flowers in Balmy Blue and Night of Navy ink onto Basic White cardstock and then cut them out using the Peach Dies. I glued the leaves down and then added Mini Stampin’ Dimensional to three flowers and placed them on the leaves. I added glue to the top flower and tucked it underneath (when I make this card again, I’m going to try adding Dimensionals to the leaves and then glue the flowers). To complete the card, I added three Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels.
