by Tracy | Feb 6, 2020 | Birthday Card, Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders
I used the stamp set, Happy Birthday to You, a FREE Sale-a-Bration gift with a $50 order, to create today’s card. The coordinating Birthday Dies, just released on Tuesday, were used to cut the cake and stand. These dies, along with four others, are only available while supplies last so grab them while you can!
The cake image was stamped using a Basic Gray Stampin’ Pad onto Whisper White cardstock. Usually when I’m going to use my Stampin’ Blends, I use Memento ink but I went with gray for a softer look. The blends I used to color the image were: Flirty Flamingo (light and dark), Granny Apple Green (light and dark) and Smoky Slate (light). After cutting the cake with the Birthday Dies, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back.
The base of the card is Flirty Flamingo with a layer of Whisper White that was embossed using the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder. Before adhering this layer to the Flirty Flamingo, I wrapped our Metallic-Edged Ribbon around the cardstock and used Multipurpose Glue to attach it to the card base.
The sentiment was stamped in Smoky Slate onto Whisper White cardstock. I adhered it to a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attached it below the ribbon. Using my Dark Flirty Flamingo Blend, I colored my rhinestones and then placed one in the middle of the three large flowers.
If you’d like to create today’s card, you’ll find the measurements below the supply list.

by Tracy | Feb 3, 2020 | Birthday Card, Designer Series Paper, Embossing Folders
Today’s card was created using Stampin’ Up! Best Dressed Designer Series Paper combined with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and the Layered Leaves embossing folder. Several days ago I made quite a few cards using this Designer Series Paper and had a pile of strips leftover. I knew I couldn’t throw them away and my card today uses one of those scraps. I love when I can use all my leftover pieces!
I embossed the Petal Pink cardstock using my die-cutting machine and the Layered Leaves embossing folder. On the bottom half, I adhered the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper. Before attaching it to the Petal Pink card base, I wrapped Petal Pink 1/4″ Metallic Edge Ribbon around the cardstock and made a bow. Then I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
I used the Peaceful Moments stamp set for the sentiment and stamped it in Mossy Meadow ink. It was cut out with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and mounted onto a large rectangle in Petal Pink. Both pieces have Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back. I added three of our Champagne Rhinestones to complete the card. You can find all the measurements I used below the supply list!

My card today features the stamp set Positive Thoughts and next week, on February 4th, you’ll be able to purchase the coordinating dies (while supplies last). Check back on Tuesday for all the details!
To create my card, I started with a base of Thick Whisper White cardstock. Granny Apple Green cardstock was used for the next layer but before adhering it to the card base, I ran it through my die-cutting machine using the Scripty 3D embossing folder. The Whisper White rectangle was cut using the Nature’s Thoughts Dies (will be released on February 4th). Before adhering the rectangle to the embossed Granny Apple Green layer, I stamped the leaf using Granny Apple Green ink and the stamp set, Positive Thoughts. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attached it to the front of the card.
On a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock, I stamped another leaf, also using Granny Apple Green ink but this time I did a technique called stamping off. After inking up the stamp, I stamped onto my grid paper and then stamped onto the Whisper White. This gives the illusion that two different colors of ink were used!
I also stamped a flower in Highland Heather ink and then cut both the flower and leaf out using the Nature’s Thoughts Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of both pieces and adhered them to the card.
The sentiment, also from the stamp set Positive Thoughts, was stamped in Memento Ink onto Whisper White cardstock. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back before attaching it to the card front. To complete the card, I added three rhinestones below the sentiment.
If you’d like to make today’s card, you’ll find the measurements below the Supply List.
