Over the weekend Stampin’ Up! experienced a power outage that affected online ordering. Apologies if you were unable to place an order! All systems are back online.
The gorgeous Expressions in Ink 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper will be retiring soon and I wanted to create a Card Sampler using this paper one more time! All three of the cards included in the Sampler are fun folds!
My Card Samplers are easy to assemble! You’ll receive all the materials to make six cards and each one is packaged separately in its own envelope (you will need to supply your own stamp set, ink and adhesive). You’ll quickly have a card that’s ready to be mailed out to someone special. Once you’ve made all the cards in the Sampler, you’ll be able to easily replicate each card by following the easy to follow directions in the PDF (pictures are included as well).
Here’s how you can earn it FREE!
- Place a minimum $50 order (before tax/shipping) at my Stampin’ Up! online store.
- You must use my special Expressions in Ink Card Sampler Host Code when placing your order (see below) BUT if your order reaches $150 or more, please DO NOT use the host code so you can receive Stampin’ Rewards (free product directly from Stampin’ Up!). Once you place your order, simply drop me an email (only necessary if your order is over $150) letting me know that you’d like the Expressions in Ink Card Sampler.
- Today is the last day the Expressions in Ink Card Sampler will be available.
Here’s What You’ll Receive:
- All the paper and embellishments needed to make six cards (two each of three different designs). The paper will be cut, scored, embossed and die cut for you! You’ll need to supply your own adhesive, ink and stamp set (per Stampin’ Up! I cannot send stamped images). Envelopes will also be provided.
- A PDF Tutorial with instructions, pictures, cutting measurements and a complete supply list of all the products used.
- Earn at least one Bradley Point (earn ten Bradley Points and redeem them for free product).

Today’s card features the All Squared Away Bundle which is on sale this month! This bundle includes the All Squared Away stamp set and the Floral Squares Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for my card base. I layered a piece of Just Jade cardstock with a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder. Before adhering it to the card base, I wrapped Just Jade ribbon (included in the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack) around the two pieces and tied a knot. On a side note, I LOVE the White ribbon in the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack. It’s wider than the other white ribbon in the catalog and it’s easy to tie in a knot and looks so pretty on a card. The Just Jade ribbon is also easy to tie (if it isn’t easy to tie, then I usually don’t use it).
On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the piece behind the flower (“bubbles”) using the All Squared Away stamp set in Just Jade ink and then trimmed it leaving a border around the edges. I used the Floral Squares Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then adhered it to the piece I just trimmed. Then both of those pieces were layered onto a piece of Just Jade cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Just Jade ink using the stamp set Boughs & Blossoms and then cut it out using a die from the Meadows Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the card. If you would like to make today’s card, you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.
Just Jade is one of five colors that will be retiring this year (sigh). If you need cardstock, ink refills, Stampin’ Blends, or an ink pad for any of these colors, I’d recommend purchasing them now. Once the retiring list is out (later this month) the products in all the retiring colors usually sell out quickly. To see the products for each color, click on each color below.

by Tracy | Feb 23, 2022 | Card Sampler, Layering Circles Dies
Happy Wednesday!
Today’s cards were made using Stampin’ Up! Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper and the Peaceful Moments stamp set.This paper is a different size than we’ve carried before (4″ x 6″) and one side of this double-sided paper has gold accents so I used our Gold Foil Sheets on both cards.
I started with a piece of Polished Pink cardstock and then added a layer of Gold Foil and another piece of Polished Pink that I embossed using the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder.
Then I layered a piece of Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper with a piece of Basic White cardstock. I wrapped a piece of white ribbon (from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack) around the two layers and tied a knot. I placed Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back and adhered it to the front of the card. The sentiment was stamped in Polished Pink and cut out with the Layering Circles Dies. I cut a larger scalloped circle out of Gold Foil, adhered the two together, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the top and bottom (I didn’t put any in the middle so they weren’t sitting on the ribbon) and placed it on the card. To complete the card, I added three Brushed Brass Butterflies.
I created this next card first and afterwards decided I wanted a piece of Gold Foil for the second layer. I used Blushing Bride and Balmy Blue cardstock and the sentiment was stamped in Balmy Blue. The Blushing Bride cardstock was embossed using the Painted Texture Embossing Folder and I placed five Polished Dots on the front of the card. You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.
