I used the Forever Blossoms Bundle to create today’s card. This bundle includes the Forever Blossoms stamp set and Cherry Blossoms Dies. These two products can be purchased separately but when you purchase the bundle, you’ll save 10%.
I started with a base of Rococo Rose cardstock and then added an embossed layer of Whisper White using the Coastal Weave embossing folder.
The flowers were stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento Ink and then colored with Stampin’ Blends: Rococo Rose (Light and Dark) and Old Olive (Light and Dark). They were cut out using a die-cutting machine and the Cherry Blossoms Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attached them to another piece of Whisper White cardstock that was die-cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The sentiment was stamped in Memento Ink using the stamp set, Little Ladybug (a free host set with a $300 order during Sale-a-Bration). I added more Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of this piece and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used my Dark Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blend to color our regular rhinestones so that they would match the rest of the card!

The inspiration for today’s card is from the color challenge over at TGIF Challenges (#tgifc250) which is to create a card using the colors Pool Party, Smoky Slate and Melon Mambo.
My daisy was created using Stampin’ Up! 6″ x 6″ Brights Designer Series Paper in Melon Mambo (all of the Brights colors are included in this package) using the Daisy Punch and the Medium Daisy Punch. I used a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional between the two layers of the daisy and placed a Clear Faceted Gem in the middle for some sparkle.
The base of the card is Pool Party with a layer of Smoky Slate that I ran through my die-cutting machine using the Coastal Weave Embossing Folder. On top of that is another layer of Pool Party, popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals (you can find all the measurements below the Supply List).
I used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to cut a stitched rectangle out of Whisper White cardstock and then ran it through the Coastal Weave Embossing Folder. It’s important to cut the rectangle first and then emboss it. If you do it the other way around, you’ll flatten the embossing (I know this from firsthand experience).
The sentiment was stamped in Melon Mambo onto Whisper White cardstock using the stamp set, Daisy Lane and cut out using the Layering Ovals Dies. The Pool Party oval was cut using the Stitched Shapes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Pool Party oval and one in the middle of the daisy and attached both to the front of the card.
All of the supplies I used to create today’s card can be found in the supply list below.

by Tracy | Feb 7, 2020 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Uncategorized
Today’s card was made using Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper. The best part about this card is that the paper was FREE! When you place a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration, this is one of the free gifts you can choose! Place a $100 order and you can choose 2 packs of this paper, OR a pack of paper and another $50 gift OR one of the $100 choices. Don’t you love it when you can earn free product?? I do! If you’d like to see everything available, scroll down to the bottom of my post or click here to download the Sale-a-Bration brochure.
The sentiment is from the stamp set, Seriously the Best, and was inked up with Memento Ink. It was cut out using the Stitched Shapes Dies and a die-cutting machine. The black scalloped oval was cut out using the Layering Ovals Dies. These two sets of dies get some serious use in my craft room!
What you can’t really see in the picture is that the flowers are gold foil so the card is very shimmery.
The base of the card is Thick Whisper White with a layer of Basic Black on top. Super easy card to make but I’m pretty sure it will bring a smile to anyone’s face. You can find the measurements for today’s card below the supply list!
Edited to add: Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper has been so popular that it’s currently on backorder. It should be back in stock around February 24th. Just a few weeks to wait!

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.
