Today’s card is one that was included in my Pansy Petals Card Sampler last month. It features Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper, Hippo & Friends Dies and the stamp set, Free as a Bird.
I started with a base of Evening Evergreen cardstock and then added a layer of Soft Sea Foam cardstock that I ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Our 3D embossing folders are very thick and if you’ve never used one before, you’ll need to use our Specialty Plate when running it through your machine (this plate is not included with the machine). The “sandwich” you’ll use when running it through your machine is little bit different than the sandwich used with our standard embossing folders. You’ll start with the Base Plate, then the embossing folder with paper inside and the Specialty Plate on top (the sandwich for a standard folder is Base Plate, cutting plate, embossing folder, cutting plate). There’s nothing like a beautifully embossed piece of paper!
Next, I adhered a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock with a piece of Pansy Petal Designer Series Paper. The sentiment was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Free as a Bird. Using the Evening Evergreen stamp pad is also a good option to stamp the sentiment. When I made the card, customers were not yet able to purchase the new stamp pad so I opted for Mossy Meadow. I cut both the sentiment and the Soft Sea Foam layer beneath it using the Hippo & Friends Dies. I love the stitching around the edges!
To complete my card, I added three Opal Rounds to the front of the card and added a panel of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Today’s card features the beautiful Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper. This paper is truly gorgeous!!!
I started with a base of Just Jade cardstock. Then I layered a piece of Pale Papaya cardstock with a piece of Expressions of Ink Designer Series Paper. Before adhering these two pieces to the card base, I wrapped a piece of 3/8″ Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon around the layers and tied a bow.
I stamped the sentiment in Just Jade ink using the stamp set, Flowers of Friendship. I cut it out using the Stitched Retangles Dies and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
My goal when creating this card was to showcase this beautiful paper. This paper is much too pretty to cover up!

Today’s card features Stampin’ Up! Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper and the Brilliant Wings Dies.
This is one of the cards I included in my Ice Cream Corner Card Sampler last month and it’s one of my favorites. I started with a base of Poppy Parade cardstock and then added a layer of Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper.
Using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, I cut a rectangle out of Basic White cardstock and then stamped the sentiment in Poppy Parade Ink using the stamp set, Sweet Ice Cream. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
Using the Brilliant Wings Dies, I cut a butterfly out of the same design of Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper that I used for the first layer of the card. I adhered the butterfly to the stitched rectangle by adding Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals down the center of the butterfly that I cut in half. I use our Paper Snips to cut my Stampin’ Dimensionals. The scissors can get sticky so I have two pairs. I use one specifically for cutting anything that might be sticky and I keep a piece of ribbon on them so I know which pair I shouldn’t use when cutting paper or ribbon.
To complete the card, I added three Holiday Rhinestones in Pumpkin Pie. Our Holiday Rhinestones are currently on the Low Inventory List which means they could go into backorder status very soon. Don’t let the name fool you, these pretty rhinestones are for every day, not just holidays.
You can find the measurements I used to make today’s card below the Supply List.

Today’s card features two new products – Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper and our Genial Gems.
I started with a base of Soft Sea Foam cardstock and then added another layer that I ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Painted Texture embossing folder. I cut a piece of Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper and layered it with a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock.
The sentiment was stamped onto Basic White cardstock using Misty Moonlight ink and was then cut out using the Layering Circles Dies. I used those same dies to cut a scalloped circle out of Soft Sea Foam and a larger one out of Misty Moonlight. I layered these pieces with the sentiment and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it the front of the card. To complete the card, I added three Genial Gems for some sparkle! You can find all the measurements below the Supply List.

Today’s card is a sneak peek of several new products in the 2021-2022 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog which goes live on May 4, 2021 – next week (I can’t wait)!
I started with a piece of Pool Party cardstock and then used the Scalloped Contour Dies (available May 4th) to cut a piece of Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper (available May 4th). Then, using these same set of dies, I cut the Basic White scalloped rectangle. I stamped the sentiment using the Color & Contour stamp set (available May 4th) in Memento Ink.
I stamped the flower, also from the Color & Contour stamp set, onto Thick Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink. I colored it with Pool Party & Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends and then cut it out with Scalloped Contour Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and also added a Mini Glue Dot to the very end of the stem to secure it. I added one of our Genial Gems (available May 4th) to the front to complete the card.

Today’s cards combine a retiring product with a new product!
To create both of my cards, I used Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper, a beautiful paper from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. It’s one of many retiring products from this catalog and is available while supplies last or May 3, 2021. I combined it with a new product from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog (debuting on May 4, 2021) called the Scalloped Contours Dies. Both the sentiment piece and the one it’s layered on are from this set of dies. For the sentiment I used the stamp set Vine Design (from the January – June 2021 Mini Catalog) and stamped it in Memento Ink.
For this next card, I used all the same products as the card above but used Garden Green cardstock for the layer underneath the sentiment and I stamped the sentiment in Green Green Ink. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop up both the sentiment piece and the layer underneath it. The base of each card is Thick Basic White cardstock.
