by Tracy | Feb 2, 2022 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting
Today’s card was made using Stampin’ Up! Abstract Beauty 4″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, Stitched So Sweetly Dies and the stamp set, Happy & Heartfelt.
I started with a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock and scored it on the 8-1/2″ side at 2-1/8 and 6-3/8″ (or you can score it at 2-1/8″ on both ends). Then I adhered two pieces of Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper to both of the front panels (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to cut a rectangle out of a Gold Foil Sheet (there are little flecks of gold in the Designer Series Paper) and cut a smaller rectangle out of Basic White cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink using the stamp set Happy & Heartfelt and then adhered the sentiment piece to the gold foil. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the gold foil rectangle, two rows VERY close together, and adhered it to the top flap.
To complete my card, I adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added a Bumblebee Trinket next to the sentiment.

by Tracy | Feb 1, 2022 | Brilliant Wings Dies, Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting
Today’s card features Stampin’ Up! Abstract Beauty 4″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (it’s so pretty with lots of gold accents) and the Brilliant Wings Dies.
I started with a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock for the card base. Then I layered two pieces of Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper onto pieces of Just Jade cardstock and adhered them to the card base (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Just Jade ink and the stamp set, Biggest Wish. I layered it onto another piece of Just Jade cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used the Brilliant Wings Dies to cut a butterfly out of a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock. In the picture above of the dies, the darker image is one die. The rest of the dies are individual dies. I added a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional to the center of the butterfly and placed it on the card.
I added three Metallic Pearls (gold and silver pearls are included in each package) down the center of the butterfly and then added two Brushed Brass Butterflies to the sentiment piece. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

by Tracy | Jan 28, 2022 | Dahlia Days Bundle, Die-Cutting
The card I have to share with you today features the Dahlia Days Bundle which includes the Dahlia Days stamp set and the Detailed Dahlia Dies (you save 10% when you purchase a bundle). This card may look like it’s difficult to make, but it really isn’t!
I started with a base of Just Jade cardstock. Then I used my Stitched Rectangles Dies to make a frame out of Abstract Beauty 4″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. I placed two of the dies on my Designer Series Paper and then ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I used the #1 & #3 dies (see photo below).
Next, I used the largest die in the Detailed Dahlia Dies and cut a piece of Basic White cardstock (see the measurements I used below the Supply List). I used the Take Your Pick Die Brush to get all the small pieces in this detailed die released (this brush twists into the Take Your Pick tool). You place your die cut piece on one of the pieces of foam that it comes with and then brush over the detailed die piece. I place the foam in a box so that all the pieces stay inside the box and not all over my work area.
I added Multipurpose Glue to the back of the Abstract Beauty frame (be careful not to add too much glue or you’ll see some warping) and then placed the Basic White Detailed Die piece on top of it. It doesn’t fit perfectly but it’s enough to adhere it. I trimmed all the pieces that were hanging off the edge. To adhere the frame to the card base, I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals around the perimeter of the frame but you could use small amounts of Multipurpose Glue or Mini Glue Dots. I found that the inside of the frame wasn’t laying flat but once I added the flowers and sentiment, I really didn’t notice.
I stamped the flowers in Balmy Blue ink and the leaves in Just Jade ink using the stamp set, Dahlia Days and then cut them out with the Detailed Dahlia Dies. I used Mini Glue Dots to adhere the leaves to the flowers and a Stampin’ Dimensional between the two flowers, then added Stampin’ Dimensinals all over the back and adhered it to the front. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink and cut it out using the Seasonal Labels Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added two Classic Matte Dots in white to the middle of each flower.
