by Tracy | Feb 2, 2022 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting
Today’s card was made using Stampin’ Up! Abstract Beauty 4″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, Stitched So Sweetly Dies and the stamp set, Happy & Heartfelt.
I started with a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock and scored it on the 8-1/2″ side at 2-1/8 and 6-3/8″ (or you can score it at 2-1/8″ on both ends). Then I adhered two pieces of Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper to both of the front panels (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to cut a rectangle out of a Gold Foil Sheet (there are little flecks of gold in the Designer Series Paper) and cut a smaller rectangle out of Basic White cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink using the stamp set Happy & Heartfelt and then adhered the sentiment piece to the gold foil. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the gold foil rectangle, two rows VERY close together, and adhered it to the top flap.
To complete my card, I adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added a Bumblebee Trinket next to the sentiment.

by Tracy | Feb 1, 2022 | Brilliant Wings Dies, Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting
Today’s card features Stampin’ Up! Abstract Beauty 4″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (it’s so pretty with lots of gold accents) and the Brilliant Wings Dies.
I started with a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock for the card base. Then I layered two pieces of Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper onto pieces of Just Jade cardstock and adhered them to the card base (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Just Jade ink and the stamp set, Biggest Wish. I layered it onto another piece of Just Jade cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used the Brilliant Wings Dies to cut a butterfly out of a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock. In the picture above of the dies, the darker image is one die. The rest of the dies are individual dies. I added a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional to the center of the butterfly and placed it on the card.
I added three Metallic Pearls (gold and silver pearls are included in each package) down the center of the butterfly and then added two Brushed Brass Butterflies to the sentiment piece. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

by Tracy | Jan 28, 2022 | Dahlia Days Bundle, Die-Cutting
The card I have to share with you today features the Dahlia Days Bundle which includes the Dahlia Days stamp set and the Detailed Dahlia Dies (you save 10% when you purchase a bundle). This card may look like it’s difficult to make, but it really isn’t!
I started with a base of Just Jade cardstock. Then I used my Stitched Rectangles Dies to make a frame out of Abstract Beauty 4″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. I placed two of the dies on my Designer Series Paper and then ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I used the #1 & #3 dies (see photo below).
Next, I used the largest die in the Detailed Dahlia Dies and cut a piece of Basic White cardstock (see the measurements I used below the Supply List). I used the Take Your Pick Die Brush to get all the small pieces in this detailed die released (this brush twists into the Take Your Pick tool). You place your die cut piece on one of the pieces of foam that it comes with and then brush over the detailed die piece. I place the foam in a box so that all the pieces stay inside the box and not all over my work area.
I added Multipurpose Glue to the back of the Abstract Beauty frame (be careful not to add too much glue or you’ll see some warping) and then placed the Basic White Detailed Die piece on top of it. It doesn’t fit perfectly but it’s enough to adhere it. I trimmed all the pieces that were hanging off the edge. To adhere the frame to the card base, I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals around the perimeter of the frame but you could use small amounts of Multipurpose Glue or Mini Glue Dots. I found that the inside of the frame wasn’t laying flat but once I added the flowers and sentiment, I really didn’t notice.
I stamped the flowers in Balmy Blue ink and the leaves in Just Jade ink using the stamp set, Dahlia Days and then cut them out with the Detailed Dahlia Dies. I used Mini Glue Dots to adhere the leaves to the flowers and a Stampin’ Dimensional between the two flowers, then added Stampin’ Dimensinals all over the back and adhered it to the front. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink and cut it out using the Seasonal Labels Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added two Classic Matte Dots in white to the middle of each flower.

by Tracy | Jan 24, 2022 | Card Sampler, Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Sale-a-Bration
Today I have three fun fold cards to share with you. They were all made using the same design and they feature two Sale-a-Bration gifts you can choose from with a $50 or $100 order. There’s no limit to how many free items you can earn during Sale-a-Bration!
I started out with a piece of Pool Party cardstock for the base of the card. I folded it in half on the score line and then folded on the other score line towards the middle fold to create the fun fold (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List).
I embossed a piece of Pool Party cardstock using the Gingham Embossing Folder and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I layered it with a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock. I added adhesive to one side only and adhered it to the front flap. I cut a piece of Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper and adhered it to a another piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock and then placed it on the front of the card. Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper is FREE with a $50 order (before tax/shipping) during Sale-a-Bration!
I stamped the sentiment using the stamp set, Special Moments in Misty Moonlight ink. Special Moments is also a Sale-a-Bration gift and you can earn it with a $100 order (l love when a stamp set is filled with sentiments!).
I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut out the sentiment and then cut a larger rectangle out of Misty Moonlight cardstock. I layered the two pieces together and then added Stampin’ Dimensional to the back (only the part that would be touching the Designer Series Paper) and then added it to the front of the card. I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside to finish the card.
This second card was made with Flirty Flamingo and Pool Party cardstock. I used Flirty Flamingo ink for the sentiment.
This next card was made with Misty Moonlight and Magenta Madness cardstock. I used Misty Moonlight ink for the sentiment. If you wanted a little bit of a softer look, Melon Mambo would also work in place of the Magenta Madness cardstock.
I hope you’ll give this fun fold a try!

by Tracy | Jan 20, 2022 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Sale-a-Bration, Stampin' Blends
Today’s card was made with the Friendly Hello Bundle, a Sale-a-Bration product you can earn FREE with a $100 order. It includes the Friendly Hello stamp set and Friendly Hello 12″ x 12′ Designer Series Paper.
I started with a base of Fresh Freesia cardstock and then added a layer of Basic cardstock and three pieces of Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). I then cut a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
I stamped the bird and sentiment onto the stitched rectangle using Memento ink and then colored the bird and flowers with Stampin’ Blends. The bird was colored with both the Light & Dark Pool Party Stampin’ Blends and the flowers with Fresh Freesia Light & Dark Stampin’ Blends. I used Light Crumb Cake to color the branch. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back and I adhered it to the front of the card. I also adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
To complete my card, I used my Light Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend to color three clear Polished Dots and then placed them on the card front.
