Today’s card is a very quick and easy one to create and features the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder and the Thinking Thanks & Peace stamp set.


To create my card, I started with a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder.


I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock and then cut it out using the Layering Circles Dies. I then cut a larger scalloped circle out of Coastal Cabana and adhered the sentiment to the front. I 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 of the card and added five Elegant Faceted Gems to the front.

Today’s card features the Stampin’ Up! Intricate Leaves Dies and the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. Both of these products are new and featured in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog.


I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Cajun Craze cardstock that I embossed using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. Next, I added a square of Basic White cardstock that I embossed with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder onto a square of Bumblebee cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.


I cut two leaves using the Intricate Leaves Dies out of Cajun Craze cardstock and Bumblebee cardstock. Down near the uppermost part of the stem, I added a Mini Glue Dot between the leaves to secure them together. Then I added one to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I made a bow using two pieces of Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine (you can find this in the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack). I added a Mini Glue Dot to the back (rolled into a ball) and adhered the bow to the leaves.

The sentiment was stamped onto a Basic White scalloped circle that was cut out using the Tasteful Labels Dies. It was stamped in Cajun Craze ink using the stamp set, Biggest Wish. I added adhesive to the upper part of the circle and adhered it to the lower bottom right corner of the small square. To complete the card I added three Holiday Rhinestones.

Today’s card features the Pretty Pumpkins Bundle and the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. The Pretty Pumpkins Bundle includes the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set and the Detailed Pumpkins Dies.


I started with a layer of Pumpkin Pie cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I cut a scalloped rectangle out of Pumpkin Pie cardstock and a smaller one out of Basic White cardstock using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set using Memento Ink onto the Basic White rectangle and then adhered it to the Pumpkin Pie rectangle. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.

I stamped the pumpkins onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento ink and the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set and then colored them using these colors of Stampin’ Blends: Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green and Cinnamon Cider. It was super easy to cut them out with the Detailed Pumpkins Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attached it to the Basic White rectangle.

To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added three Holiday Rhinestones to the front.

Today’s Free Friday Tutorial is for a card I shared several weeks ago before the start of Sale-a-Bration. I created it using a FREE set of dies, the Summer Shadows Dies, that can be earned with a $100 Stampin’ Up! purchase and they coordinate with the stamp set, Shaded Summer in the Annual Catalog (this stamp set was on backorder but it’s now back in stock). Several Sale-a-Bration items are only available while supplies last and the Summer Shadows Dies are one of those products. Get your set while they’re still available!

September Paper Pumpkin

Enjoy your weekend!
by Tracy | Aug 12, 2021 | Embossing Folders, Heat Embossing
Today’s card was created using our Blending Brushes and the stamp set, Shaded Summer. This stamp set is currently on backorder but is estimated to be back in stock the week of August 23rd. As of today, it can still be added to your cart and when it’s in stock, Stampin’ Up! will mail it to you (the rest of your order will ship as usual).

I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of our regular Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Animal Print Embossing Folder. Next, I stamped the flowers from Shaded Summer using Versamark ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock. I then heat embossed the image using white embossing powder from our Basics Embossing Powders set and our Heat Tool (you can find more detailed instructions for embossing farther down in the post). I also heat embossed the sentiment using the stamp set Artistically Inked.

Next, using one of our Blending Brushes, I blended Flirty Flamingo ink over the cardstock until I had the color I wanted. When I was done, I took a soft tissue and wiped over all the embossed parts to take off any ink that might have been sitting on top. To complete the card, I added five of our new Subtle Shimmer Sequins to the card front using Multipurpose Glue. The sequin at the bottom of the stem was added because some of my embossing powder collected there so I hid it with a sequin.


How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing an anti-static pouch (Stampin’ Up! no longer carries this product but it’s a must when embossing) over the surface as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder. Stamp your sentiment or image using a Versamark pad. This is very sticky ink and your embossing powder will stick right to it. Sprinkle embossing powder over the stamped image. Shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so the paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as it’s transformed!
