by Tracy | Sep 16, 2021 | Card Sampler, Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders, Rectangle Stitched Dies, Scalloped Contours Dies
Today’s card features Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper (free during Sale-a-Bration with a $50 order), the stamp set, Heartfelt Wishes and the Scalloped Contours Dies.
I started with a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder. Then I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut two scalloped rectangles using Basic White cardstock and Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper. I layered those two pieces together and then wrapped a piece of Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon around them and tied a knot. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it in the center of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Heartfelt Wishes. This is a new stamp set in the Mini Catalog. It has a lot of Christmas greetings but also includes a few sentiments for other occasions as well. I cut the sentiment out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies, 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.
Bundle Alert: The Scalloped Contours Dies can be purchased individually but can also be purchased in the Color & Contour Bundle that also includes the Color & Contour Stamp Set. Bundles always save you 10%.

by Tracy | Sep 15, 2021 | Card Sampler, Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
My card today is a quick and easy one to make using the Picture This Dies. There are two dies included in this set, one that cuts out stitched circles and the other one cuts out stitched rectangles (see the image of the dies below my card). Today’s card was made using the die that cuts out rectangular stitched shapes. You can see previous cards I’ve made using the other die here and here. I also used Tidings of Christmas 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.
I started with a piece of Soft Succulent cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I reach for this embossing folder over and over again because it has such a nice subtle effect.
There are two different ways to cut out the shapes using the dies. You can cut them out using a piece of paper that measures approximately 4-3/4″ x 3-3/4″. This will give you three pieces and you can save some of the extras for another project. I decided not to do that and for the sentiment, I placed a small piece of Basic White cardstock in the center of the die and then did that same thing with the Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper.
I stamped the sentiment using Evening Evergreen ink and the stamp set, Pansy Patch onto the Basic White rectangle. Then, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of each rectangle and placed them on the front of the card. If you’ve never used Stampin’ Dimensionals, they make a huge difference. Just that little bit of dimension takes your card to a whole new level! To complete my card, I added three Matte Decorative Dots below the sentiment and added a layer of Basic White to the inside. Imagine all the possibilities with this design!

by Tracy | Sep 14, 2021 | Card Sampler, Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders
Today’s card features the Picture This Dies, Cute Halloween 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Last week I shared another card using the Picture This Dies and you can see that post here.
I started with a piece of Basic Black cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock. Next, I ran a piece of Basic Black cardstock through the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and then adhered it to the front of the card. I used the Picture This Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured 5″ x 3-3/4″ (the same size as the embossed Basic Black cardstock). You’ll use this piece later so don’t throw it out! On the largest cut-out circle, I stamped the bats with Memento ink and on one of the other circles, I stamped the sentiment. I used the stamp set, Little Delights, for both the bats and sentiment.
I used the Dies again to cut the circles of Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper. Then I added Stampin Dimensionals to the back of all the circles and took off the backings. I took the Basic White piece from earlier (see it below) and placed it on top of the Basic Black cardstock and just held it in place with my fingers. I pushed the circles through the openings so each one was exactly where I wanted it (of course you can just eyeball it, too). Then I lifted the template carefully off. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
