Today’s card features the Welcoming Window Bundle (bundles always save you 10%) which includes the Welcoming Window stamp set and the Window Flower Box Dies.
I started with a base of Purple Posy cardstock and then added another layer of Purple Posy that I first ran through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder.
Using the Welcoming Window stamp set, I stamped the flower pot image onto Basic White cardstock using a Terracotta Tile stamp pad, which is the perfect color for a flower pot. I cut it out using the flower pot die in the Window Flower Box Dies.
I did the flowers a little differently than I would normally do them. Let me explain. I stamped the leaves in Old Olive ink and then, using a separate stamp, stamped the flowers in Highland Heather ink. Then I cut them out using one of the dies in the set. I wasn’t happy with the results because I pretty much cut off some important parts. So, I cut the shape FIRST, and then stamped onto the cut out. It was easy to do because the stamps are photopolymer and you can see right through them. I nailed it on the first try. So, find what works for you!
Using the Layering Circles Dies, I cut a scalloped circle out of Gorgeous Grape cardstock and a circle out of Basic White cardstock and layered the two pieces together. Before gluing the flower pot onto the circle, I figured out where I wanted it and then stamped the sentiment in Highland Heather ink using the stamp set, Welcoming Window. Then I glued the flower pot down, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the flowers and placed them on top of the flower pot. I used our Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack to make a bow and used Multipurpose Glue to adhere it to the flower pot. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the scalloped circle and placed it on the front of the card.
To complete the card, I added three Playing with Patterns Resin Dots in Purple Posy below the sentiment. If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.
Whisper White cardstock is no longer available but it’s replacement, Basic White is!! You can download a flyer HERE for all the new Basic White products and their item numbers.

Valentine’s Day will be here before you know it but really, today’s card could be given to anyone at any time of the year.
I started with a base of Petal Pink cardstock and added a layer of Basic White that I first embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.
Using the Wreath Builder Dies, I cut a wreath out of Petal Pink cardstock and another one using Garden Green cardstock. I cut Mini Stampin’ Dimensional in half and placed them on the back of the green wreath before placing it on the card front. I rolled glue dots between my fingers (high tech here) and placed them in strategic spots on the Petal Pink wreath before adhering it to the other wreath. Another alternative is to add dots of Multipurpose Glue to the wreath instead of glue dots.
I also used the Wreath Builder Dies to cut out the Basic White heart and used more glue dots to adhere it to the wreath.
The sentiment was stamped in Garden Green ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Quite Curvy stamp set and layered onto a piece of Petal Pink cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adhering it to the card front. To complete the card, I added three Elegant Faceted Gems to the front. If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.
Please note: My card today was created using Whisper White cardstock but the mill that made it for Stampin’ Up! had to close down and Whisper White is no longer available. Basic White is its replacement and is now available. To add less confusion, I’ve referred to Basic White throughout my post.

Today’s card features Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper which can be found in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. Ice Cream is one of my MOST favorite foods (love it!) so I was immediately drawn to this paper but you won’t find any ice cream in sight on my card today.
The colors in this package of paper make me so happy! They are:
- Bermuda Bay
- Blackberry Bliss
- Bumblebee
- Cinnamon Cider
- Old Olive
- Petal Pink
- Pool Party
- Purple Posy
- So Saffron
- Soft Sea Foam
- Terracotta Tile
- Basic White
The base of my card is Pool Party cardstock with layers of Basic White cardstock and Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper. Before adhering the Basic White/Designer Series Paper layer, I wrapped our beautiful Pool Party Sheer Ribbon around the cardstock.
The sentiment was stamped onto Basic White cardstock with Bermuda Bay ink using the stamp set, Today’s Tiles (I love the fonts used in this set) and was cut out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I popped the sentiment up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
To complete the card, I added three Artistry Blooms Adhesive Backed Sequins to the front. You can find a list of all the supplies I used in the Supply List below.

Making today’s card was a little out of my comfort zone but I created it while taking part in a card sketch challenge. I used Flower & Field Designer Series Paper, one of the products you can earn FREE with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration.
I started with a base of Flirty Flamingo cardstock and added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I ran through the Tasteful Textile embossing folder using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Using the largest dies in the Layering Circles Dies, I cut a Basic White circle and a Flirty Flaming scalloped circle. I embossed the Basic White circle with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder and then layered the two pieces together.
I used the Triple Banner Punch to create banners using Flirty Flamingo cardstock and Flower & Field Designer Series Paper. The sentiment was stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set Hydrangea Haven and then it was layered onto a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock. Both pieces were cut out with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find all the measurements below the Supply List.
