Today’s card features Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper and Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper, both of which are on sale until August 2nd!
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Highland Heather cardstock and Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper. Using the Layering Circles Dies, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock for the sentiment and a scalloped circle using Blackberry Bliss cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment onto the Basic White circle using Blackberry Bliss ink and the stamp set, Biggest Wish. After adhering the sentiment to the Blackberry Bliss scalloped circle, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it in the center of the card. I used the Pansy Dies to cut three Pansies out of Petal Pansy Designer Series Paper.
I adhered the two larger pansies to the Basic White circle using Multipurpose Glue and then adhered the smaller one below them. To complete the card, I added five Elegant Faceted Gems (there are three different kinds in the package and I used the clear ones) to the front of the card. In real life, they are so sparkly!
If you give this card a try, let me know!

Today’s card was one of the cards in my Potpourri Card Sampler last month. It features Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper (on sale until August 2nd), the Stitched Greenery Die and the Scalloped Contours Dies.
I started with a base of Fresh Freesia cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Stitched Greenery Die. Next, using the Scalloped Contours Dies, I cut a scalloped rectangle out of Basis White cardstock and another, smaller one out of Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper. I adhered the Designer Series Paper to the scalloped rectangle and then wrapped my Open Weave Ribbon in Fresh Freesia around the left side. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back before adhering it to the card front.
As of this morning, the Scalloped Contours Dies are still on backorder (rather than unavailable) and are estimated to be back in stock the week of August 2nd. When an item is in backorder status, you can still add it to your order. The rest of your order will ship without the backordered item but when additional inventory is received, Stampin’ Up! will automatically ship the item to you. If an item is unavailable that means you can not order it until it’s back in stock.
The sentiment piece was also cut out using the Scalloped Contours Dies and then I stamped the sentiment in Fresh Freesia ink using the stamp set Plentiful Plants. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and then added it to the front of the card. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White to the inside.
Bundles – Save 10%
The Plentiful Plants Bundle includes the Plentiful Plants stamp set and the Perfect Plants Dies.
The Color & Contour Bundle includes the Scalloped Contours Dies and the Color & Contour stamp set.

I think I’ve mentioned before that my husband and I have several bird feeders in our backyard. When I saw the Garden Birdhouses stamp set, I knew I had to have it. Cute birds and birdhouses? Yes, please!
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Misty Moonlight cardstock and Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I layered pieces of Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper to pieces of Balmy Blue cardstock and then adhered them to the card front. Sweet Symmetry is one of nine Designer Series Papers on sale until August 2nd!
I stamped the branch and birdhouse onto Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink and the Garden Birdhouses stamp set. I colored the birdhouse using Balmy Blue and Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends. I used Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends to fill in areas of the branch and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends to color the leaves. At the last minute I decided to add the bird and stamped it with Memento Ink and colored it with Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends.
I layered the birdhouse onto a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock and then added Stampin’ Blends to the back and adhered it to the Balmy Blue/Designer Series Paper panels. The sentiment was stamped in Memento Ink and cut out with the Tasteful Labels Dies (these dies can be used with Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine). On the back, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right-side only and adhered the sentiment below the birdhouse.

SALE 15% OFF until August 2, 2021 – Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper that I cut with the Scalloped Contours Dies. Using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, I cut a piece of Vellum cardstock and another smaller piece out of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set using Garden Green ink (this stamp set is also included in the Beauty of Friendship Bundle) onto the Basic White rectangle.
I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and adhered it to the Vellum rectangle. I added more Stampin’ Dimensionals (I love my dimensionals) to the back of the vellum and added it to the front of the card. I used my Light Misty Moonlight Blend to color three of our Rhinestone Basic Jewels and added them to the sentiment piece. Definitely a quick and easy card to make!
