Today’s card features Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper, the Pansy Patch stamp set and the Flowering Vine Dies. On Monday I shared another design from this package of paper and if you missed that card, you can see it here.
Sometimes all you need to make a quick and easy card is a beautiful piece of paper and this paper definitely qualifies as beautiful!
To create today’s card, I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Shaded Spruce cardstock and Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper. The sentiment was stamped onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set Pansy Patch.
I cut the sentiment out using the Flowering Vine Dies and the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. These dies can be purchased as part of the Vine Design Bundle which includes the Vine Design stamp set and Flowering Vine Dies. You can find the Flowering Vine Dies, Vine Design stamp set and the Vine Design Bundle in the Mini Catalog. Sadly these dies and stamp set (as well as the bundle) will be retiring at the end of June.
I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment before attaching it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added two Holiday Rhinestones in Shaded Spruce. I made several of these cards yesterday and included them in several of my thank you packages.

Today’s card features the beautiful Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper. This paper is truly gorgeous!!!
I started with a base of Just Jade cardstock. Then I layered a piece of Pale Papaya cardstock with a piece of Expressions of Ink Designer Series Paper. Before adhering these two pieces to the card base, I wrapped a piece of 3/8″ Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon around the layers and tied a bow.
I stamped the sentiment in Just Jade ink using the stamp set, Flowers of Friendship. I cut it out using the Stitched Retangles Dies and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
My goal when creating this card was to showcase this beautiful paper. This paper is much too pretty to cover up!

Happy Mother’s Day!
by Tracy | May 7, 2021 | Free Tutorial
Today’s Friday Tutorial features the new Scalloped Contours Dies, the new Bark 3D Embossing Folder and the Pierced Blooms Dies. You can access your free tutorial below the Supply List.
The Scalloped Contours Dies can also be purchased as a Bundle (bundles always save you 10%). The Color & Contour Bundle includes the Color & Contour stamp set and the Scalloped Contours Dies.
To create the flowers, the center of the flowers and the leaves, I used the Pierced Blooms Dies (every die in this set has beautiful stitching). The In Bloom Bundle can be found in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog but you won’t find the bundle in the new Annual Catalog. Both the In Bloom stamp set and the Pierced Blooms Dies are in the new catalog but the bundle is not. So, if you’ve been thinking about this bundle, the time to get it is before the Mini Catalog retirement list comes out in early June.

Enjoy your weekend!
by Tracy | May 6, 2021 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting
Today’s card features Stampin’ Up! Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper and the Brilliant Wings Dies.
This is one of the cards I included in my Ice Cream Corner Card Sampler last month and it’s one of my favorites. I started with a base of Poppy Parade cardstock and then added a layer of Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper.
Using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, I cut a rectangle out of Basic White cardstock and then stamped the sentiment in Poppy Parade Ink using the stamp set, Sweet Ice Cream. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
Using the Brilliant Wings Dies, I cut a butterfly out of the same design of Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper that I used for the first layer of the card. I adhered the butterfly to the stitched rectangle by adding Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals down the center of the butterfly that I cut in half. I use our Paper Snips to cut my Stampin’ Dimensionals. The scissors can get sticky so I have two pairs. I use one specifically for cutting anything that might be sticky and I keep a piece of ribbon on them so I know which pair I shouldn’t use when cutting paper or ribbon.
To complete the card, I added three Holiday Rhinestones in Pumpkin Pie. Our Holiday Rhinestones are currently on the Low Inventory List which means they could go into backorder status very soon. Don’t let the name fool you, these pretty rhinestones are for every day, not just holidays.
You can find the measurements I used to make today’s card below the Supply List.
