Happy Monday! I hope you had a nice weekend!
Today’s card was made using Mosaic Mood Designer Series Paper. I also used the stamp set, Stitched All Around and the coordinating Stitched Labels Dies.
I stamped the sentiment three different times – twice in Terracotta Tile and once in Mint Macaron. The first one was stamped in Terracotta Tile and cut out with the larger die pictured below. Then I stamped it again in Mint Macaron and cut just the center using the smaller die. Then I stamped it again in Terracotta Tile and just cut out “thank you” using my Paper Snips. I used Snail to adhere them all together but added Stampin Dimensionals to the back of the larger piece and adhered it to a 2″ circle of Terracotta Tile. I also added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Terracotta Tile circle.

Happy Monday! I hope you had a nice weekend! Last week we went on a mini vacation where we were just a block away from the beach. Several mornings we got up and walked down to the beach to watch the waves and the surfers. I wish I could wake up to that every single morning. It’s so calming and beautiful. While we were away, my husband, Mark, and I also celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary. It was really nice getting away for a few days.
When we got home from our vacation, I created today’s card which uses an oldie but goodie die, Springtime Impressions, which includes a beautiful die-cut butterfly.

I paired it with our Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper and Blackberry Bliss cardstock. I absolutely love this Designer Series Paper. It’s gorgeous!


I used the stamp set Parcels & Petals for the sentiment and inked it up with Blackberry Bliss. I cut it out with the Stitched Shapes Dies and then cut a Blackberry Bliss scalloped oval using the Layering Ovals Dies. The Stitched Shapes Dies are very versatile because they coordinate with the Layering Circles Dies, Layering Squares Dies and Layering Ovals Dies.


The smaller layer of cardstock and Designer Series Paper was popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals as well as the Blackberry Bliss scalloped oval. Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals were used on the back of the butterfly to give it dimension too!

Today’s card is quick and easy! Look at those cute birds! The Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper is definitely the star of this card. It’s a shame to cover any of the paper with a sentiment but it definitely adds to the card.
Did you know that you can find the coordinating colors to all of our packages of paper right in the catalog as well as in the packaging? With Stampin’ Up! paper you never need to wonder or guess which colors will coordinate. I love that!

I used Calypso Coral for the base of my card and then added a layer of Daffodil Delight. The sentiment also sits on a scalloped oval of Calypso Coral. You can find all the measurements I used, farther down in the post.

I love a stamp set that has many different sentiments to choose from and on today’s card I used the Well Said stamp set which includes 51 stamps! This set is jam packed with just about any sentiment you might need. It also coordinates with the Well Written Dies. For a clearer picture of the stamps, click here to go to my online store. Once there, click the “+” and you’ll see the stamps enlarged.


It’s a bit hard to see what the dies look like in the photo above (since they are backwards) but here a few examples that show the dies and stamp set used together.

Back to today’s card! I used the 6″ x 6″ Brights Designer Series Paper in Bermuda Bay and cut the squares using the Layering Squares Dies. The other squares were cut out of Bermuda Bay cardstock using the Stitched Shapes Dies. I used the same Brights DSP for the banner and used the Banner Triple punch. Glitter Enamel Dots were added as a finishing touch.
This card will be my FREE Tuesday Tutorial so be sure to come back on Tuesday to grab it!
