I have a new Card Sampler to share with you but first . . . .
I make every effort to ensure that my tutorials are mistake-free, in fact I’m a bit obsessive about it, but unfortunately some measurements are incorrect on the Dragonfly Garden tutorial from January 29th. You can find the corrected version HERE. If you already downloaded and printed it, or tried to make the card, I apologize for any inconvenience.

Today’s Friday Tutorial showcases the beautiful Flower & Field Designer Series and I have a sneak peek of a new product debuting on March 2, 2021. You can download your free tutorial below the Supply List.

When I want to get a dark impression when using a stamp, such as “Happy” on my card today, I use my Stamparatus. Because it comes with two powerful magnets which allows my paper to stay in place, I can stamp my sentiment several times to get the perfect coverage. If you’d like more information about the Stamparatus and see it in action, you can watch this video by Stampin’ Up!
On March 2, 2021, the Butterfly Brilliance Collection (stamp set, dies, Designer Series Paper & Textured Specialty Paper) will be available for purchase.

Today’s card features my favorite Sale-a-Bration stamp set, Heal Your Heart. This stamp set is absolutely free when you place a $50 order but only until February 28, 2021.
I started with a base of Seaside Spray cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that was embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Then I added another layer of Seaside Spray and the GORGEOUS Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper. I popped that layer up with Stampin’ Dimenisonals.
The sentiment was stamped onto Basic White cardstock using Seaside Spray ink and the stamp set Heal Your Heart. I cut it out using the Layering Circles Dies. The sentiment is layered onto another piece of Seaside Spray cardstock cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies. The Stitched Shapes dies coordinate beautifully with our Layering Circles Dies, Layering Squares Dies and Layering Ovals Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the upper part of the sentiment (just the part that touches the Designer Series Paper). To complete the card, I added three clear Elegant Faceted Gems. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.

At some point last Friday it dawned on me that it was FRIDAY and I had forgotten to post my free tutorial! We’ve had some personal challenges in our family in the last few weeks and I’ll admit I’ve been a bit distracted. I will be back this Friday with a tutorial but I have one today, too! My free PDF Tutorial is for a card I shared last week using the Dragonfly Garden Bundle. If you missed the original post for this card, you can see it here. You can access your free tutorial below the Supply List.

Today’s card features the Dragonfly Garden Bundle which includes the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and the Dragonflies Punch. I also used the Lots of Heartstamp set for my sentiment.
I started with a base of Pool Party cardstock. Then I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder. I wrapped a piece of our beautiful Pool Party Sheer Ribbonaround the cardstock and then adhered the panel to the card base.
I cut a square using the Layering Squares Dies out of Pool Party cardstock and another, smaller one, out of Basic White cardstock. Before layering the two pieces together, I stamped the sentiment using Memento Ink and the stamp set, Lots of Heart, to the Basic White square. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Pool Party square and placed it on the card front.
I stamped the dragonfly on a piece Vellum cardstock using Versamark ink and then sprinkled Silver Embossing Powder over it. I used my Heat Tool to melt the embossing powder and then cut the dragonfly out using the Dragonflies Punch. On the back of the vellum, I colored the dragonfly using my Pool Party Blends. I put a Mini Glue Dot on the top left wing and one on the bottom right wing and adhered it to the Basic White scalloped square.
To complete the card, I added five Artistry Blooms Sequins (they have adhesive on the back) to the front and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card. If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.

March Paper Pumpkin

Today’s card is a last minute Valentine’s Day card featuring the Many Hearts Dies and the stamp set, Heartfelt.
I started with a base of Basic White Thick cardstock and then added a layer of Real Red cardstock along with a layer of Basic White cardstock that was embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.
Using the Many Hearts Dies, I cut a heart out of Real Red, another smaller heart out of Vellum cardstock and the flowers (inside the vellum heart) out of Blushing Bride cardstock. To attach the flowers to the Vellum heart, I used our Mini Glue Dots in various places on the back. Then I added Glue Dots to the Vellum where I knew they wouldn’t be seen and adhered it to the red heart. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the red heart and placed it on the front of the card.
The sentiment was stamped onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Heartfelt. I cut it out using the Tasteful Labels Dies. It’s popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals. You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.
Lots of Heart Bundle Alert: The Many Hearts Dies and the Lots of Heart Stamp Set (I didn’t use this stamp set on today’s card) can be purchased together and you’ll save 10%. You can see that bundle here.
Heartfelt Bundle Alert: The Heartfelt Stamp Set and the Heart Punch Pack (I didn’t use this punch to create today’s card) can be purchased as a bundle and you’ll save 10%. You can see that bundle here.
