Note from Tracy: Creating cards is a wonderful way to relieve stress and we’re all under so much of that right now. I’m spending time in my craft room creating cards to share with you and it’s my hope that you’ll be inspired to start creating. Brighten someone’s day by sending them your beautiful card! Take Care, my friends.
The card I’m sharing with you today was made using Pleased as Punch Designer Series Paper. This paper was released in early February to coordinate with Sale-a-Bration and Mini catalog products but will only be available until March 31, 2020 or while supplies last. These are the products it coordinates with:
The base of my card is Blushing Bride, not a color I use very often and I’m wondering why. It’s really pretty! I added an embossed layer of Blushing Bride using the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder. The banner was cut using using the Banner Triple Punch. You can make banners with this punch in three widths – 1″, 1-1/2″, and 2″ but here’s a little trick: when choosing the 2″ width, trim your paper about a sixteenth of an inch so it will slide into the punch easily.
Using the Leaf Punch, I punched out two leaves in Vellum cardstock. The sentiment was stamped in Memento Ink onto Whisper White paper using the stamp set Beautiful Friendship and cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and also secured the leaves with the dimensionals. I completed the card by adding three Glitter Enamel Dots, in Granny Apple Green. You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List. Stay safe and healthy!

Before sharing my card with you today, I want to let you know that starting tomorrow, March 24th, a selection of current catalog items will be available to earn through Sale-a-Bration. Those are the only details I have but be sure to check back tomorrow to see what’s being offered!
Today’s card was created using one of the designs in Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper. All of the designs in the package can stand alone but changing up the look is really fun! I used a Light Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blend to color in all the flower petals. Imagine all the possibilities! The very best part? This paper is free with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration, while supplies last!
The base of the card is Thick Whisper White with a layer of regular Whisper White on top that was embossed using the Hammered Metal 3D embossing folder and a die-cutting machine. After coloring the Flowering Foils paper, I adhered it to a piece of Seaside Spray and wrapped a piece of Silver-Metallic Edge Ribbon around the entire piece. Then I adhered it to the base of the card using Multipurpose Glue.
The sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using Seaside Spray ink and then cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies. Using the Layering Ovals Dies, I cut a scalloped oval in Seaside Spray and then a larger one in Silver Foil. I layered all the pieces together using Snail adhesive and then added Stampin’ Diensionals to the back and attached it to the front of the card.
Tomorrow I’ll have a free PDF Tutorial for today’s card but if you want to give it a try today, I’ve included the measurements below the Supply List.
Take good care of yourself!

I hope this card brightens your day!
To create today’s card, I used Pineapple Punch cardstock, one of our five 2018-2020 In Colors. Each year five new colors are introduced and five are retired so Pineapple Punch will be gone in a few months.
I used the Stitched Shapes Dies to create all the squares and to cut out the sentiment. The flowers were cut out using the Small Bloom Punch, a FREE Sale-a-Bration gift with a $100 purchase and available while supplies last. Each flower was attached to the stitched square using a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional and a Gold Faceted Gem was added to the center of each one for some sparkle!
The sentiment is from the stamp set Under My Umbrella and was stamped with Memento ink. To give a little more dimension to the care, it was popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. With the help of the dies and punch, this card came together very quickly!
Bundle Alert: The Under My Umbrella Bundle includes the stamp set Under My Umbrella and the Umbrella Builder Punch. You can purchase these items separately but when you use the special bundle item #153786, you’ll save 10%!

by Tracy | Mar 19, 2020 | Die-Cutting, Heat Embossing
Today’s card features Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper. I used Soft Sea Foam ink and a Sponge Dauber to add color to this very versatile paper. I actually used two FREE Sale-a-Bration gifts to create my card:
With every $50 purchase (before tax and shipping) you can choose either of these papers as your Sale-a-Bration gift. There’s no limit to how many gift you can earn! These products are available until March 31, 2020 or while supplies last!
I used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to cut out both sentiment and the So Very Vellum Designer Series Paper. These dies are currently on the Low Inventory List so if you love them, I’d recommend purchasing them quickly. It’s possible that once they go into backorder status, it will take some time to get them back in stock.
The sentiment is from the stamp set, Seriously the Best, and was heat embossed using Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder. If you haven’t tried embossing, now is the time!
How to Heat Emboss
Rub an Embossing Buddy over the surface of your cardstock (this helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder). 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. Shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool for about 10 seconds to minimize warping of your paper. Direct the heat over your image and watch the magic happen!
