The card I’m sharing with you today is another take on the card I posted last Friday using Stampin’ Up! Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper, the Blueberry Bunches stamp set, Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder, Nested Essentials Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I layered a piece of Berry Burst cardstock and Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (DSP) and then adhered it to the front of my card. You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.
Next, I added another layer of Berry Burst cardstock and Flowering Zinnias DSP and adhered that to the front of the card. I used the Nested Essentials Dies to cut a banner out of Berry Burst cardstock and Basic White cardstock.
The Basic White cardstock banner was placed in the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder and run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then I adhered it to the Berry Burst banner and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock in Berry Burst ink using the stamp set, Blueberry Bunches. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and then cut the next larger circle out of Berry Burst cardstock. I layered the sentiment onto the Berry Burst circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals only to the back on the right side and then adhered it to the banner. I added three Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels under the sentiment.

My card today was made using the Cutest Cows Bundle which includes the Cutest Cows stamp set and Cutest Cows Builder Punch. I also used the Nested Essentials Dies, Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper (DSP), and the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.
I started with a piece of Basic Black cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut two pieces of Basic White cardstock and adhered one to the inside of the card. With the other one, I placed it inside the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and then adhered it to the front of the card.
I layered a piece of Basic Black cardstock and Zoo Crew DSP and adhered it to the card front. Then, I stamped the cute cow in Memento Ink and then colored him with my Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. I punched him out using the Cutest Cows Builder Punch.
I used the Nested Essentials Dies to cut a rounded rectangle out of Basic Black cardstock and the next smaller size out of Basic White cardstock. I checked first to see where my cow would go before I stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink using the Cutest Cows stamp set. I attached the body of the cow to the Basic White cardstock using Glue Dots and then added two Dimensionals to his head and adhered both pieces to the front of the card.

Today I’m sharing a card that I made using Stampin’ Up! Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (an online exclusive product), the Blueberry Bunches stamp set, Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder (another online exclusive product), Nested Essentials Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I added a layer of Highland Heather cardstock and Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (DSP) to the front of the card. Next, I added another layer of Highland Heather cardstock and a different design of Flowering Zinnias DSP.
I used the Nested Essentials Dies to cut a banner out of Highland Heather cardstock and a smaller one out of Basic White cardstock. I embossed the Basic White banner using the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I layered the two banners together and then adhered it to the front of the card.

I have three cards to share with you today using Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (DSP), the Notes of Nature stamp set, Everyday Details Dies (these dies are currently unavailable but are expected to be back in stock the week of March 25th), and the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.
I send thank you cards with each order and I’ve been using the same design because I don’t want to send a card that someone has already received, so I change the card up a bit. You can see other varieties of this card here and here.
I started with a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card front.
Next, I layered a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock with a piece of Perennial Lavender DSP, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink using the stamp set, Notes of Nature onto Basic White cardstock and then cut it out using the Everyday Details Dies. Using Gorgeous Grape cardstock, I cut a larger rectangle using the Everyday Details Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the Gorgeous Grape rectangle and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals only to the part that wouldn’t hang off the DSP rectangle and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
Here’s another version using all the same products.
Here’s one more using Shaded Spruce cardstock and Shaded Spruce ink.

It’s been a wonderful two months of earning free product during Sale-a-Bration, hasn’t it? In honor of Sale-a-Bration ending today, I’m sharing one more card using two of my favorite Sale-a-Bration products which are the Softly Sophisticated Bundle (which includes a stamp set and an embossing folder) and Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper. I also used the Everyday Details Dies.
I started with a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Softly Sophisticated embossing folder in the Softly Sophisticated Bundle (this product is free with a $100 purchase during Sale-a-Bration which ends today) and then adhered it to the front of my card.
Then, I cut piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock and a piece of Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper (free with a $50 order) and adhered them together before adhering them to the front of my card. I cut another piece of Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper using the Everyday Details Dies and cut the next larger circle in Flirty Flamingo cardstock. After adhering the Designer Series Paper to the Flirty Flamingo circle, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Softly Sophisticated in Flirty Flamingo ink. I cut it out using the Everyday Details Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of my card. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

The safety-tempered glass has a heat and scratch resistant surface that wipes clean with the included cloth and water—no chemicals needed. The reusable cloth also cleans ink off your stamps! The nonslip, heat resistant, waterproof silicone mat features four palette squares for mixing custom ink colors or for holding small ink spots in place while crafting.

Today’s card was created using Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper, the Blueberry Bunches stamp set, Everyday Details Dies, Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder and Balmy Blue & White 1/2″ Variegated Ribbon.
I started with Balmy Blue cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I adhered the beautifully embossed cardstock to the base of my card.
Next, I layered a piece of Night of Nav cardstock with a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock. Then, I cut a piece of Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the front the layered piece. Next, I wrapped a piece of Balmy Blue & White ribbon around the middle and tied a knot. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the embossed Basic White cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Blueberry Bunches and Night of Navy ink and cut it out using the Everyday Details Dies. I cut a larger circle out of Balmy Blue cardstock using the same dies. I adhered the sentiment to the front, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the top and bottom and placed it on the ribbon. By placing the Dimensionals to the top and bottom, it doesn’t interfere with the ribbon.
