Today’s free PDF tutorial features Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper, Layering Circles Dies and one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders. I heat embossed the sentiment using the stamp set, Encircled in Warmth. If you’d rather not emboss the sentiment, you could use Smoky Slate ink but the silver embossing really gives this card a wow factor! You can find the tutorial below the Supply List.

by Tracy | Oct 28, 2021 | Designer Series Paper, Fun Fold Card, Rectangle Stitched Dies
Today’s card is another book binding card that I made for a friend who just celebrated her birthday. She loves pink and I think she’ll like this very pinky card!
I started with a piece of Magenta Madness cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) and scored it in two places. Then I folded the card in half and then folded the other piece back. My post the other day shows where to put the adhesive and what the fold looks like. You can see it HERE.
I adhered two pieces of Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper to the two panels on the front and I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card. I wrapped a piece of Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon around the left side of the card and tied a knot.
Using the Stitched Rectangles Dies, I cut a small rectangle for the sentiment. The sentiment was heat embossed onto the rectangle using gold embossing powder (included in the Metallics Embossing Powder set) and the stamp set, Artistically Inked. You can see the directions below for heat embossing. It’s very easy to do and gives your card a wow factor.
I adhered the sentiment to a piece of Magenta Madness cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I didn’t want the pink flower in the middle to be covered up so I placed the sentiment towards the bottom. To complete the card, I added three Wonderful Gems below the sentiment. You might have missed these in the Holiday Catalog. They were in last year’s Mini Catalog and were brought back for this year’s Mini. The clear gems have flecks of gold in them which is just perfect the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper because many of the designs also have gold accents.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing an anti-static pouch over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder (Stampin’ Up! no longer carries this product but it’s a must when embossing). Stamp your sentiment or image using a Versamark pad. This is very sticky ink and your embossing powder will stick right to it. Sprinkle embossing powder over the stamped image and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so the paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image is transformed!
Bundle Alert (save 10%); The Artistically Inked Bundle includes the stamp set Artistically Inked and the Artistic Dies.

by Tracy | Oct 27, 2021 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders
Today’s card is the same card I shared last week but I changed up the paper and stamp set. This card was mailed to a friend who is back home from a stay in the hospital. I hope it cheers her up! If you’d like to see the card I shared the other day, you can see it here.
I started with a base of Pool Party cardstock and then adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder. This embossing folder cannot be purchased individually but when you purchase it, you’ll also receive 9 dies.
I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a rectangle out of Basic White cardstock and then cut a piece of Pool Party Designer Series Paper (found in the Subtles 6″ x 6″ Collection) and adhered it to the rectangle. I wrapped a piece of Pool Party 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon (this ribbon is so pretty!!!) around the rectangle and tied a knot. Then I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used another die from the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut the small scalloped rectangle out of Basic White. I stamped the sentiment in Pool Party ink using the stamp set, Beauty of Friendship and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before placing it on the front of the card. To complete the card, I added another piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.

by Tracy | Oct 25, 2021 | Card Sampler, Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Fun Fold Card, Heat Embossing, Layering Circles Dies
I always love when a card opens in a different way and my book binding card today is super easy to make!
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) and scored it in two places. Then I folded the card in half and then folded the other piece back (see the picture below).
I put Tear & Tape on the small section (I like using Tear & Tape but any strong adhesive will work). I then folded the piece over towards the right and this creates the book biding look.
I added Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper to the large front panel and the panel on the left. I used our 1-1/2″ Metallic Mesh Ribbon and tied it around the left side. Since I used a heavy duty adhesive, the ribbon is purely decorative. This mesh ribbon is gorgeous with all the silver running through it .You could even use this to wrap presents!
I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and a larger, scalloped circle out of Silver Foil. On the Basic White cardstock, I embossed the sentiment using the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set, Versamark ink, Silver Embossing Powder and a Heat Tool. Embossing is so easy to do and I really think it makes a card look so elegant. If you’ve never embossed before, I have directions below. I adhered the sentiment to the Silver Foil and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Silver Foil circle and adhered it to the front of the card.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing an anti-static pouch over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder (Stampin’ Up! no longer carries this product but it’s a must when embossing). Stamp your sentiment or image using a Versamark pad. This is very sticky ink and your embossing powder will stick right to it. Sprinkle embossing powder over the stamped image and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so the paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image is transformed!
