The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the Sunflowers Dies and Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper.
I started with a piece of Bumblebee cardstock for the card base. Then I added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. I used the Sunflowers Dies to cut the sunflower out of Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper and the detailed part out of Bumblebee cardstock. I cut another detailed part out of Early Espresso cardstock and cut everything off so that just the middle remained. The center was cut using Basic Black cardstock. I cut the leaves out of Pear Pizzazz cardstock and ran them through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I also cut the detailed part of the leaves using Pear Pizzazz cardstock.
Bundle Alert Sale: Although I didn’t use the sentiment in the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle, this bundle is on sale for this month only. It includes the Sunflowers Dies and Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set. This set of dies and stamp set were brought back just for this sale so on April 1st, you will no longer be able to purchase the two together with a discount.
To adhere the two bumblebee sunflower pieces together, I added Multipurpose Glue to the center of the detailed sunflower. Then I glued the Basic Black center to the sunflower and then glued the Early Espresso center to the top. I used Multipurpose glue (very small dots of glue) to add the detailed leaf to the embossed leaf. I added Mini Glue Dots to adhere the leaves to the sunflower. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sunflower and adhered it to the front of the card.
The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso ink using the stamp set Boughs & Blossoms and then cut out using the Seasonal Labels Dies. I used Multipurpose Glue to adhere it to the sunflower. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and then placed five Holiday Rhinestones on the front of the card.

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.

Today’s card features the Sweet as Peach Bundle (on sale the month of March) and the Scalloped Contours Dies. The Sweet as a Peach Bundle (compatible with the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine and on sale this month) includes the Sweet as a Peach stamp set and the Peach Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White Cardstock that I ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using one of the Meadow Moments Embossing Folders. These embossing folders are smaller (compatible with the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine) and the entire piece of paper will not be completely embossed but I covered the part that wasn’t embossed with a piece of You’re a Peach Designer Series Paper.
I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a scalloped rectangle out of a piece of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink using the Sweet as a Peach stamp set and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
Using the Sweet as a Peach stamp set, I stamped the leaves in Pear Pizzazz ink and the flowers in Balmy Blue and Night of Navy ink onto Basic White cardstock and then cut them out using the Peach Dies. I glued the leaves down and then added Mini Stampin’ Dimensional to three flowers and placed them on the leaves. I added glue to the top flower and tucked it underneath (when I make this card again, I’m going to try adding Dimensionals to the leaves and then glue the flowers). To complete the card, I added three Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels.

My card features two new products from the Waves of the Ocean Collection: Waves of the Ocean 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels.
I started with a piece of Pacific Point cardstock for the base of my card and then added a layer of Waves of the Ocean Designer Series Paper (this paper is only available while supplies last). Then I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
I stamped the sentiment using the stamp set, Happy & Heartfelt, in Pacific Point ink onto the stitched rectangle and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the Designer Series Paper.Then I used the same design of paper to die-cut a butterfly using the Brilliant Wings Dies. I placed two Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals down the center of the butterfly and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and then added three Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels to the front of the card. When these rhinestones arrived in my preorder, the first words out of my mouth were, “WOW, these are beautiful!!!!” I’m definitely buying more of them!

Today’s card is a quick and easy one that was made using Stampin’ Up! Ornate Frames Dies, Ornate Layers Dies and Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that was embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Usually I add a layer that’s a little bit smaller than the card base but this piece is the same size as the base. Next, I used the Ornate Layers Dies to cut a piece of Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper and then adhered it to the card front.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Rich Razzleberry ink and the stamp set, Eclectic Garden. I cut it out using the Ornate Frames Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete the card, I added three Opal Rounds to the front of the card. See? Easy!!

Today’s card was made using Stampin’ Up! Abstract Beauty 4″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, Stitched So Sweetly Dies and the stamp set, Happy & Heartfelt.
I started with a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock and scored it on the 8-1/2″ side at 2-1/8 and 6-3/8″ (or you can score it at 2-1/8″ on both ends). Then I adhered two pieces of Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper to both of the front panels (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to cut a rectangle out of a Gold Foil Sheet (there are little flecks of gold in the Designer Series Paper) and cut a smaller rectangle out of Basic White cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink using the stamp set Happy & Heartfelt and then adhered the sentiment piece to the gold foil. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the gold foil rectangle, two rows VERY close together, and adhered it to the top flap.
To complete my card, I adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added a Bumblebee Trinket next to the sentiment.
