I used Playing with Patterns 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper along with the Tasteful Touches stamp set to create today’s quick and easy card.
I love the start of a new catalog because I get to play with all the brand new Designer Series Paper. To be perfectly honest, I was on the fence about this paper and at the last minute added it to my order and I’m so glad I did because I love it! Just as it’s name suggests, there are many different patterns and I love the colors!
I used Purple Posy cardstock for the base of my card and combined it with Night of Navy cardstock. The sentiment was stamped with the Tasteful Touches stamp set in Night of Navy ink. This stamp set can also be purchased as a bundle (I didn’t use the dies for today’s card) and you can find more information by clicking the image below.
If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Today I’m sharing the Gorgeous Posies Project Kit but first I want to let you know that today is the last day my June Card Sampler will be available. Place a minimum $50 order using the host code F6VJWUP9 at my Stampin’ Up! online store and receive 6 card kits with envelopes (2 each of three designs) and a PDF Tutorial that includes pictures, measurements and a supply list. Check HERE for all the details.
Have you ever seen a product in the catalog that you just HAVE to have? I had to have the Gorgeous Posies Project Kit and I wasn’t disappointed when it arrived in my first order from the new catalog! Oh my gosh, I love it! The funny thing is, I didn’t realize it came with a box! So if you’re looking at the kit in the catalog, know that it also includes a nice-sized, beautiful box. It was a very nice surprise!
Edited to add: The box comes fully assembled with all the pieces to create the cards inside the box.
The kit comes with all the materials (you can see everything in the picture above) to make 16 cards – card bases, card fronts, color coordinated envelopes, and embellishments too. The Gorgeous Posies Stamp Set coordinates with the kit and can be purchased separately. The sentiments in the stamp set fit perfectly on the sentiment pieces in the card kit
The colors that coordinate with the kit are: Blackberry Bliss (the color ink I used), Blushing Bride, Gorgeous Grape, and Highland Heather. The kit also includes ribbon with gold accents and purple Baker’s Twine but I chose not to use them on my card.
I added two flowers and leaves that I placed around the sentiment. One was popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the other one was adhered with Multipurpose Glue. As you can see in the photo below, the kit comes with lots of flowers and leaves. I’m looking forward to making more of these cards! Did I mention I love the box? 🙂

Today’s card was created using Stampin’ Up! Forever Flourishing Dies and Flowers For Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper.
I used two new In Colors on my card – Just Jade and Bumblebee (the base of the card is Just Jade and the “panels” are Bumblebee). To create the greenery, I used Just Jade cardstock and Vellum cardstock and popped them behind the sentiment. To adhere both of these pieces, I added a layer of Multipurpose Glue on half of the sentiment piece. Normally I would used Dimensionals to secure pieces like this but I wanted to be sure that they weren’t going to fall off the card and the glue worked perfectly.
The sentiment was stamped in Just Jade ink onto Whisper White cardstock using the stamp set, So Much Love. When choosing stamp sets to purchase, I not only look at the images but the sentiments too. In fact, at times I’ve purchased a set JUST for the sentiments but this set wowed me with the flowers and the sentiments.
I cut the sentiment using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and then cut a piece of Bumblebee cardstock to place under it. To add some sparkle I used three of our new Elegant Faceted Gems. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Enjoy your weekend!
by Tracy | Jun 11, 2020 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Fun Fold Card
I used the Tasteful Touches stamp set and Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper to create today’s Gate Fold card.
I began with a piece of Old Olive cardstock and scored it on both ends (I scored it on end, flipped it over to the other side and scored again) which created the gatefold (you can find all the measurements below the Supply List).
I added panels of Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series paper to both sides of the card base and added a panel of Whisper White cardstock to the inside.
It isn’t necessary to add a belly band (mine was made with one of our New In Colors – Bumblebee) but it does help to keep the card closed. The width of the belly band can be any size and mine is 3/4″. I tried a 1″ width but preferred the smaller size for this card. I scored it in two places and wrapped it around the card, securing the two ends with a small amount of Multipurpose Glue. I added two Stampin’ Dimensionals to the the belly band and then placed the sentiment piece on top of it.
The sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock with Old Olive ink using the stamp set Tasteful Touches. It was cut out using Stitched Shapes Dies and a die-cutting machine. The Bumblebee and Old Olive scalloped ovals were cut out using the Layering Ovals dies which coordinate beautifully with the Stitched Shapes Dies.
