I have two cards to share with you today. This first card is another sneak peek from my August Card Sampler. Place a minimum $50 order at my Stampin’ Up! Online Store using the host code 7VZ3BNVA and you’ll receive all the paper and embellishments to make 6 cards (2 each of three designs). All the paper will be cut, scored, die cut and embossed for you (you’ll need to supply your own adhesive, ink and stamp set). I used the stamp Ridiculously Awesome for all three cards.
Today is the last day my August Card Sampler will be available!
For all the details, please click here!
Today’s card was created using the Boho Indigo Product Medley Refill Kit. If you have a catalog, you can find both the Boho Indigo Product Medley AND the Refill Kit on page 9. There’s a big difference in price between these two products but I just wanted the Designer Series Paper so the refill kit was perfect for me. The Product Medley includes dies, a stamp set, Designer Series Paper, ribbon and more! The Refill Kit includes 48 sheets of 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, 6 sheets of dry embossed paper, die cuts and 40 paper flowers.
For more information about these two products, click the images below and you’ll be directed to my Stampin’ Up! Online Store.
The base of my card is Thick Very Vanilla. The next layer is Misty Moonlight, one of our new In Colors this year. The two squares were cut using our regular Very Vanilla cardstock and were embossed using the the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. The Refill kit does come with several sheets of embossed paper and those could be used as well.
The sentiment was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock using the stamp set, Life is Beautiful. It was cut out using the Layering Ovals dies which I also used to cut out the scalloped ovals. Usually I use glue to adhere all the sentiment pieces together and then add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attach it to the card. This time I added Dimensionals to the Misty Moonlight scallop (the middle layer) and then used glue on the back of the larger Very Vanilla scallop.
You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.

I used the stamp set Zany Zebras and Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper to create today’s card.
I started with a base of Thick Whisper White cardstock and then cut strips of Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper (you can find the measurements I used below the supply list). I stamped the cute zebra onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento ink and then cut him out using the Layering Circles Dies. The Calypso Coral scalloped circle was also cut out using these dies.
The sentiment, also from the Zany Zebras stamp set, was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using Calypso Coral ink and cut out using the Rectangle Stitched Dies. Ninety-nine percent of the time I stamp first and then cut the words or shape out. I find it so much easier to stamp and then line up the die rather than try to stamp directly onto the shape.
Both the sentiment and the Calypso Coral scalloped circle are popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used this same layout with a card I shared last week using several products from the Whale Done Suite. You can see it here.

by Tracy | Aug 5, 2020 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Treat Holder
The August-December 2020 Mini Catalog is filled with so many brand new products! One of the first products to catch my eye was the Little Treat Box Dies. It makes a treat box that’s SO easy to make and no adhesive is needed!
My treat box was made using another new product, Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper. The design I used has beautiful copper and gold foil designs.
The largest die in the set is what you’ll use to make the treat box and the die will fit onto a piece of 6″x 6″ piece of paper (see the photo below for placement). The die set also includes several tags and embellishments. It pairs beautifully with the Little Treats stamp set (I didn’t use this stamp set on today’s project) and is available as a bundle (I have a picture of the bundle farther down in the post).
As I mentioned, the box is so easy to make and no adhesive is necessary. When you run the die through your die-cutting machine, it creates score lines as well as two slits and tabs which makes it a breeze to put together. If you need to make a lot of treat holders, you’ll be able to do it easily with the Little Treat Box Dies!
To give you an idea as to the size of the treat box, I have two Hershey’s Nuggets inside. I’m sure you’ll be able to come up with lots of other ideas to tuck inside.
The sentiment, from the stamp set, Banner Year, was stamped onto Very Vanilla cardstock using Versamark ink and then was embossed with Gold Embossing Powder. It was cut out using one of the tag dies in the Little Treat Box Dies.
There are so many possibilities with this set of dies!
