by Tracy | Mar 3, 2021 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders
Today’s card features the Brilliant Wings Dies and the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder.
I started with a base of Rococo Rose cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that was run through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder.
Did you know Rococo Rose is one of five colors retiring soon? This is a transition year so our retiring list for our 2020-2021 Annual Catalog will come out earlier than we’re used to. At the end of March the retiring list for the Annual Catalog will be released so if the colors below are any of your favorites my recommendation is to stock up now on any products you like in these colors. Don’t forget ink refills so you can continue to use your ink pads.
Using the Brilliant Wings Dies, I cut three butterflies out of Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper. I cut our Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals in half, and placed one down the center of each butterfly. The sentiment was stamped onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Love of Leaves and Rococo Rose ink. I cut it out using the Tasteful Labels Dies and popped it up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
To complete my card, I added a small pearl on each butterfly.

In just four days, Sale-a-Bration will be over! It’s that time of year when you can earn free product with every $50 or $100 order!
One of the first stamp sets I earned free when Sale-a-Bration first started was A Touch of Ink but I didn’t play with until yesterday! Why the heck did I wait so long? It has a butterfly, flowers, a hummingbird and great sentiments. This is a Level 2 Sale-a-Bration gift and it’s only available for four more days with a $100 order.
I don’t remember if I’ve shared this before, but my husband retired at the end of August. He was a pilot for Delta Airlines for 33 years. He had planned to retire in a few years but Delta offered him a chance to retire early and he took them up on it (you’re probably wondering what in the world this has to do with Sale-a-Bration and the stamp set, Touch of Ink, but I’m getting there). Since Mark has been retired we now have two bird feeders and three, yes three, hummingbird feeders in our backyard. We have the cutest birds, hummingbirds and butterflies visiting our yard daily and we have so much fun watching them zoom all over our backyard. Believe me, it’s a full time job refilling the bird and hummingbird feeders! So, when I saw this stamp set, I knew I had to have it!
To create my card, I started with a base of Highland Heather cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder. I then cut a square out of Basic White cardstock using the Layering Squares Dies and stamped the sentiment in Highland Heather ink. I used Memento Ink to stamp the flowers and then colored them in with my Highland Heather and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. I layered this piece onto a larger square cut out of Highland Heather cardstock. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back and it was adhered to the front of the card. I love dimension on my cards and use Stampin’ Dimensional on almost every single card I make.
I stamped the hummingbird onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink and colored it using the Highland Heather and Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends. I cut it out using our Paper Snips, which are very sharp scissors (these are currently on backorder but a large shipment is due in next week). Usually I’m not overly fond of fussy cutting but it really didn’t take much time at all. I added several Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it near the flowers. I added some Wink of Stella to the hummingbird’s head for some extra sparkle!
This really is a fun set to play with and if you place a $100 order, you can choose it as your free gift, but only until this Sunday, February 28, 2021!
Here’s one of the cute hummingbirds in our backyard. Not exactly the Highland Heather – Bermuda Bay combination of my hummingbird but isn’t he cute?

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.
