Happy Friday! Today I have four more versions of the card I shared yesterday (if you missed it, you can see it here) and I have a free PDF tutorial for these cards!
This first card was made using Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper (on sale until August 2nd), the Scalloped Contours Dies, Stitched So Sweetly Dies and the stamp set, Beauty of Friendship. The Rhinestone Basic Jewels were colored with Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends.

This next card was also made with Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper, Garden Green ink and Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends.

I used Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper (also on sale until August 2nd) for the card below, Evening Evergreen ink and Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends.

This last card was made with Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper, Just Jade ink and Just Jade Stampin’ Blends. Quick Update on Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper: As many of you know, this paper was on backorder for quite some time (everyone loves it). It was back in stock last week and sold out again. A new shipment is expected the week of August 2nd.

Designer Series Paper Sale – Ends August 2nd

by Tracy | Jul 15, 2021 | Card Sampler, Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting
Today’s card features Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper and the Scalloped Contours Dies. Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper is one of nine Designer Series Papers on sale right now. Don’t pass up on this paper while it’s on sale. There are so many pretty designs! To see which papers are on sale, click here.
The Scalloped Contours Dies are currently on backorder but as of right now you can still order them and they’ll be sent to you just as soon as they’re in stock. If too many are backordered, Stampin’ Up! turns off the ability to order them until they’re in stock. Stampin’ Up! estimates they wlll be available the week of August 2nd.

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!

Select Designer Series Paper on Sale until August 2nd

Have a great day!
by Tracy | Jun 24, 2021 | Die-Cutting, Stampin' Blends

All orders $50 or more are shipping FREE, today ONLY!!!

Today’s card is a variation of the card I posted yesterday. If you missed yesterday’s card, you can see it here. I changed up the color of the cardstock, used a different sentiment and embossed my cardstock using the Stitched Greenery Die.

The base of my card is Thick Basic White cardstock with layers of Pale Papaya cardstock that I embossed using the Stitched Greenery Die. This die is used like any other die but your paper comes out of the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine embossed!

I stamped the flowers onto Basic White cardstock using Memento ink and the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set. They were colored using Pale Papaya and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. I cut them out using the coordinating Penned Flowers Dies. You can purchase this stamp set and dies as a bundle and save 10%.


The scalloped rectangle was cut out of Basic White cardstock using the Scalloped Contours Dies and the sentiment was stamped in Memento Ink with the stamp set Beauty of Friendship. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the flowers before adhering them to the scalloped rectangle.

On the back of the scalloped rectangle, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals, on the right side only, before adhering it to the card base.

All orders $50 or more TOMORROW will ship FREE!!
Todays card features the Hand-Penned Petals Bundle which includes the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set and the Penned Flowers Dies. I also used the Scalloped Contours Dies.


I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I embossed two pieces of Poppy Parade cardstock with the Checks & Dots Embossing Folders and then adhered these pieces to the Thick Basic White cardstock. I cut a scalloped rectangle out of Basic White cardstock using the Scalloped Contours Dies and then stamped the sentiment in Memento ink in the lower left-hand corner.

The flowers were stamped onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink and the stamp set Hand-Penned Petals (when you use Stampin’ Blends, you always want to stamp your image using Memento Ink). I colored them using the Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack and the Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the flowers and adhered it to the scalloped rectangle. This is a pretty quick and easy card to make!

Yesterday afternoon Stampin’ Up! announced that this Thursday, June 24th will be a FREE SHIPPING Day for all orders $50 or more!!!! It’s time to get those lists started!

Today’s card features the new Basic Borders Dies. The set includes six dies with six different ways to dress up your paper! I made a border at the bottom of my card using these fun dies.


After cutting the border on my Thick Basic White cardstock base, I added a strip of Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper to the inside. Then I stamped the sentiment in Coastal Cabana ink using the stamp set, Create with Friends. When cutting the stitched scalloped edge, I opened the card up and placed the straight part of the die on the front of the card, about an inch from the bottom before running it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. If a die has any kind of stitching, I’m sold! The scalloped edge on this die is so sweet and I think the stitching definitely takes it up another notch.


The flowers were made using the Pierced Blooms Dies, Fresh Freesia cardstock and Coastal Cabana cardstock. The bottom flower was glued down to the card base but the top flower has Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back to pop it up. The Pierced Blooms Bundle includes the In Bloom stamp set (I didn’t use this stamp set on my card) and the Pierced Blooms Dies. Both of these products are in the new Annual Catalog but they are not priced as a bundle. This special bundle price will no longer be available after June 30th.

To complete my card, I added three rhinestones below the sentiment. This is definitely a quick and easy card to make!
