by Tracy | Oct 4, 2021 | Designer Series Paper, Tasteful Labels Dies
Thanks so much for all the comments left over the weekend! It was so much fun reading every single one of them. Tomorrow I’ll announce the winner of the stamp set!
I really enjoy finding a card design I like and then trying it out with different Designer Series Papers. Today’s card is one of those designs and was created using Blackberry Beauty Designer Series Paper. You can see another version of the card HERE using Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper.
Blackberry Beauty Designer Series Paper has been on backorder but is estimated to be back in stock sometime this week.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock. I adhered six pieces of Blackberry Beauty Designer Series Paper (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) to a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
Using the Tasteful Labels Dies, I cut the sentiment shape out of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment using the stamp set, Inspired Thoughts, and Blackberry Bliss ink. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. How’s that for a quick and easy card?
Supply List
Below you’ll find all the Stampin’ Up! supplies I used for today’s card. If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your demonstrator! You can place an order by clicking any of the images below to go to my Stampin’ Up! online store.

Happy Friday! Today I have a card to share with you but I was unable to find the time to create a tutorial. It’s been one of those weeks but I’ll be back next week with another one. Before sharing my card, I want to share some happy news.
The last day of the Stampin’ Up! year was yesterday and each year Stampin’ Up! offers an incentive trip for demonstrators to work towards. This was a goal I never thought I could attain but in June I earned my first incentive trip!!! Thank you so very much to each and every one of you who chose me as your demonstrator when you placed your Stampin’ Up! orders this past year. I could not have done it without you and I can’t thank you enough for helping me to achieve this goal! The trip is to the Western Caribbean on the largest cruise ship in the world in May 2022. Now that the new Stampin’ Up! year has begun, I’ll be working towards a Baltic Sea Cruise that will take place in 2023. Again, thank you so much to everyone who helped me to earn the incentive trip!!!!
It’s now time for today’s card!
To create today’s card I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock. Then I added two pieces of Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper. I then added another piece of Sweet Symmetry and layered it on a piece of Basic White cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensiionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
Using the Scalloped Contours Dies, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink using the stamp set, In Symmetry. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it the front. This is a very quick and easy card to make!
Here’s another version using two more designs from Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper and Just Jade ink. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.
Bundle Alert (bundles always save you 10%): The In Symmetry Bundle (#155599) includes the In Symmetry stamp set and the Symmetrical Stems Border Punch.

I purchased the Starter Kit twelve years ago just for the discount. I had absolutely no intention of doing anything else except buy discounted products for myself. I still love Stampin’ Up! products and have used my discount to the fullest! I think the biggest impact for me has been that I now feel like I’m a creative person. I never felt like that before. Stampin’ Up! products make it so easy to create pretty cards and projects. I’ve never regretted my decision to purchase the Starter Kit and join Stampin’ Up!
