Today’s cards features Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (which is currently on sale) and the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I used the same design of Peony Garden Designer Series Paper for all three cards but on this first one, I added an embossed panel of Gray Granite cardstock.
The sentiment, from the stamp set Life Is Beautiful, was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using Gray Granite ink and was then cut out with the Tasteful Labels Dies.
On this next card, I replaced the embossed Gray Granite cardstock with Old Olive cardstock and the sentiment was stamped in Old Olive ink.
And here’s another version of the card using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies which were used to cut out the sentiment and the stitched Old Olive rectangle.
If you’d like to create today’s card, you’ll find the measurements below the Supply List.

The card I’m sharing today features Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (this is one of fifteen papers on sale during the month of October!) and our Poinsettia Dies.
I started with a base of Thick Whisper White cardstock and then added a layer of Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (all the measurements I used can be found below the Supply List). Next, I created the Poinsettia using the Poinsettia Dies, Whisper White cardstock and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. When you cut each poinsettia out, the paper will also be embossed! To do this, you’ll use two pieces, the outline and the piece that fits inside (you’ll do this for the leaves too) and then run it through your die-cutting machine. I added blue tape (these two dies have gone through my machine at least a hundred times) to the dies so I could easily and quickly know how to fit them together (I tried permanent ink but it rubbed off).
A beautiful Beaded Pearl was added to the center of the poinsettia. These pearls are so pretty in person and really add elegance to a card. They’ve been very popular and are now on the Low Inventory List which means they can go into backorder status at any time. If you’d had your eye on them, grab some while you can!
I embossed the sentiment using Silver Embossing Powder and the stamp set, Banner Year. Here are directions for embossing:
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing an anti-static pouch over the surface (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 first so the paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch the magic happen!

The card I’m sharing today features the Autumn Punch Pack and one of two folders included in the Meadow Moments Embossing Folders. These punches have been so popular and are currently on the Low Inventory List which means they could go into backorder status soon. If you’ve had your eye on these punches, I’d recommend purchasing them as soon as you can. The Beautiful Autumn Bundle which includes the Beautiful Autumn stamp set & the Autumn Punch Pack will save you 10%.
I started with a base of Crushed Curry cardstock and then added a layer of Very Vanilla cardstock. I embossed another piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, layered it with more Crushed Curry and popped that layer up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped onto Very Vanilla cardstock using the stamp set, Banner Year (which has some great seasonal sentiments and images) and Cajun Craze ink. I cut it out, along with the Cajun Craze mat, using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.
The colors of the leaves are Real Red, Old Olive, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze. Before adding each one to my card, I added a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional to the back. I added a piece of Very Vanilla to the inside of the card and glued a Real Red leaf to the inside. If you’d like to make today’s card, all the measurements can be found below the Supply List.
