by Tracy | Aug 7, 2019 | Designer Series Paper, Layering Ovals Dies
I’m in love with our Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper. This paper is so gorgeous that you really don’t need to add much else to your card. I used two different designs in this pack of paper for the two layers of my card. They coordinate so well together!
The base of the card is Blueberry Bushel. The first layer of Designer Series Paper was adhered with Snail but the top layer has Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back, as does the sentiment. Adding Dimensionals to a layer really changes the look of a card.
The sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using Blueberry Bushel ink and the stamp set, Parcels & Petals. It was cut out using the Layering Ovals Dies.

by Tracy | Aug 5, 2019 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Layering Ovals Dies, Stitched Shapes Dies
Happy Monday! I hope you had a nice weekend! Last week we went on a mini vacation where we were just a block away from the beach. Several mornings we got up and walked down to the beach to watch the waves and the surfers. I wish I could wake up to that every single morning. It’s so calming and beautiful. While we were away, my husband, Mark, and I also celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary. It was really nice getting away for a few days.
When we got home from our vacation, I created today’s card which uses an oldie but goodie die, Springtime Impressions, which includes a beautiful die-cut butterfly.
I paired it with our Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper and Blackberry Bliss cardstock. I absolutely love this Designer Series Paper. It’s gorgeous!
I used the stamp set Parcels & Petals for the sentiment and inked it up with Blackberry Bliss. I cut it out with the Stitched Shapes Dies and then cut a Blackberry Bliss scalloped oval using the Layering Ovals Dies. The Stitched Shapes Dies are very versatile because they coordinate with the Layering Circles Dies, Layering Squares Dies and Layering Ovals Dies.
The smaller layer of cardstock and Designer Series Paper was popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals as well as the Blackberry Bliss scalloped oval. Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals were used on the back of the butterfly to give it dimension too!
Bundle Alert

by Tracy | Aug 1, 2019 | Glitter Queens Blog Hop, Layering Squares Dies
It’s the beginning of a brand new month which means it’s time for the Glitter Queens Blog Hop! This month it’s all about Shaker Cards!
I started with a card base of Thick Whisper White cardstock. I like to use this thick paper any time my base is white because it’s sturdier and with the extra weight of a shaker card, it’s a good choice. The next layer is a piece of Calypso Coral that was placed inside the Mosaic 3D embossing folder and run through a die-cutting machine.
To create the window, I used the Layering Squares Dies, one inside the other as indicated in the image below. You’ll need a clear Window Sheet to keep all the sequins inside so I used a piece that measured 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″. To attach the Window Sheet, I added Multipurpose Liquid Glue all around the edges of the rectangle. Then I added our Foam Adhesive Strips on each side of the rectangle.
Once I figured out where I wanted my Iridescent Sequins to go, I shook them out onto the card base – I wish I had added a little more than I did. Next, I peeled off the backing on the rectangle and attached the window to the card.
The sentiment was stamped in Calypso Coral ink using the stamp set Parcels & Petals and cut out with the Stitched Rectangles Dies. The flowers were stamped in Memento Ink onto Whisper White cardstock using the stamp set, Tea Together. They were colored in using Stampin’ Blends: Calypso Coral Dark and Light, Granny Apple Green Dark and Light and Pineapple Punch Light. The flowers were cut out using the Tea Time Dies. I got these dies when they were a Sale-a-bration free gift. I’m so glad they can now be purchased in the Annual Catalog!
The smaller flower was attached to the frame of the window using Snail and the larger one has Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back. A shaker card may look like it’s really hard to make but it isn’t! I hope you’ll give it a try!
