Happy Friday!
Before sharing today’s card I want to let you know about a change I’m making. I will still continue to post a free tutorial each week but you’ll see the tutorial on Saturdays from now on. The card will be posted on Friday but the free tutorial will be posted on Saturday. I will give you the measurements on Friday but the full tutorial with pictures and directions will be posted the following day. Because Christmas is next Saturday, I won’t be posting a tutorial next week but will resume on Saturday, January 1, 2022.
Today’s card features Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper and the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder.
I started with a base of Cinnamon Cider cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder. Next, I added another layer of Cinnamon Cider cardstock with Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper.
I used Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper to cut out the leaves and pot using the Perfect Plants Dies. I love that several of the sheets of this paper have images that you can easily die-cut (or cut out by hand). How easy is that?? I stamped the sentiment in Cinnamon Cider ink in the far right-hand corner of a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Love of Leaves and then layered it onto a piece of Cinnamon Cider cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the pot and used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the leaves and adhered them to the sentiment piece. I added three Genial Gems around the leaves. These gems are perfect with Cinnamon Cider cardstock.
To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside. I’ll have the tutorial for you tomorrow but you’ll find the measurements below the Supply List.

by Tracy | Dec 16, 2021 | Birthday Card, Embossing Folders, Rectangle Stitched Dies, Stampin' Blends
We just returned home from being out of town for a few days to celebrate my mom’s 90th birthday. I feel very blessed that we were there to celebrate her big day with her. Today’s card is the birthday card I made for her and it features the stamp set, Prized Peony.
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. Normally I cut this piece down but it’s full size to cover the entire front of the card.
I stamped the peony in Memento Ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock and then colored it using these Stampin’ Blends: Fresh Freesia (Light and Dark), Highland Heather (Light) and Old Olive (Light). I COMPLETELY forgot that I have the Peony Dies and even had a conversation with myself that I didn’t feel like fussy cutting it out. I just shook my head when I spotted the dies sitting on my crafting desk. It’s that time of year when our heads can only hold so much, right? I did list the Peony Dies in the Supply List below even though I didn’t actually use them (but I will soon!). I mounted the peony onto a piece of Highland Heather cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To color the peony using my Stampin’ Blends, I did several petals at one time. First, I colored the entire petal with Light Fresh Freesia. Then, I used Dark Fresh Freesia to color in the highlights (this stamp tells you where the highlights are – the very dark areas). I went over this same area again with Light Highland Heather and then went back in with Light Fresh Freesia to blend it all in. I only used Light Old Olive for the leaves and just colored them in and then went over the darker areas a second time When I tried using Dark Old Olive, I felt it was too dark.
I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then stamped the sentiment in Highland Heather ink using the stamp set Artistically Inked. I mounted it onto a piece of Highland Heather cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it below the peony. To complete the card, I added three Elegant Faceted Gems around the peony.

Here’s a picture of my mom and I on her big day (I decided to grow out the white/gray during quarantine)!
by Tracy | Dec 15, 2021 | Designer Series Paper, Embossing Folders, Punches
Today’s card features a sneak peek of three new products from the upcoming January – June 2022 Mini Catalog!
The Designer Series Paper I used is called Flowering Fields (#157670) and I have to say I’m in love with this paper with the tulips and beautiful colors! Unfortunately I can’t link these products up to the online store until the catalog goes live.
I started with a base of Rich Razzleberry cardstock and then added a layer of Fresh Freesia cardstock that I embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Then I added another layer of Rich Razzleberry and Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper.
I stamped the sentiment in Fresh Freesia ink using another new product, the Happy & Heartfelt stamp set (#158005). There are 15 stamps in this set and they are all in the same font as on my card. Love it!! I used the Double Oval Punch to cut out the sentiment as well as the Rich Razzleberry oval. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Rich Razzleberry oval and adhered it to the front of the card.
The cute little butterflies are also new and they’re called Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136). You can purchase all three of these new products on January 4, 2022.

January 10, 2022: Last Day to Order Hugs & Kisses Paper Pumpkin
by Tracy | Dec 14, 2021 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Punches
Today’s card features a birthday card using the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch. The Designer Series Paper I used is called Pattern Party and it’s a host only item. You can earn it with a personal order or by hosting a party. It’s a huge pack of paper and includes 48 pieces of beautiful paper. You can see more information about it in the Annual Catalog on page 171 or here.
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a piece of Pattern Party Designer Series Paper. Next, using Basic White cardstock, I cut a stitched rectangle using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I stamped the sentiment towards the bottom of the rectangle using Memento ink and the stamp set Sweet as a Peach.
Using a scrap of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the cone in Cinnamon Cider ink. I also used Cinnamon Cider ink to stamp the marks on the cone and cut it out using the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch. I stamped the ice cream scoop onto Basic White cardstock using Coastal Cabana ink and used Early Espresso ink to stamp the sprinkles. I love Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream so to me, they look like little chocolate chips. I cut the scoop out using the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch. I adhered the cone to the stitched rectangle using Multipurpose Glue but added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the scoop before placing it on the cone. Then I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the rectangle and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete the card, I added three Holiday Rhinestones to the front of the card. Another option would be to use our Artistry Blooms Adhesive Backed Sequins. You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.
