The sentiment on today’s card is a sneak peek of the stamp set, Life is Beautiful. It will be available on August 4th (next week!!!) when the new Mini Catalog goes live! If you’ve placed an order with me in the past six months, you should have received your complimentary copy of the Mini Catalog! There’s nothing like the excitement of a new catalog!
The base of the card is Misty Moonlight, one of the new In Colors. Both designs of patterned paper are from Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paperand I love how these two designs look together!
The sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White paper using Misty Moonlight ink. It was cut out using the Layering Circles Dies along with the Just Jade and Misty Moonlight scalloped circles. If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find the measurements below the Supply List.

You’ve seen it in the new Annual Catalog and on September 1st, the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine will be available to order (unfortunately the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and its replacement plates have experienced delays due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic). Demonstrators will be able to preorder the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (the larger machine) in August so I’ll be purchasing one and cashing in my Bonus Days coupons! I’ll be ready to share my thoughts with you and I have to say, I can’t wait to give it a try.
If you’d like to order one early too, simply purchase the Starter Kit! You’ll receive $125 worth of Stampin’ Up! product (that you choose) for $99 plus it ships free. The Starter Kit is absolutely risk free, honest! Click here to purchase your Starter Kit and join my team!
Today’s card features two designs from Best Dressed Designer Series Paper which is currently on the retiring list. I’ve really enjoyed using this paper especially with 24 different designs to choose from!
I also used the stamp set, Forever Lovely, which is also retiring. Tomorrow is the last day that retiring stamps will have guaranteed availability. After tomorrow, they’ll be available while supplies last.
The base of the card is Petal Pink as well as the top right panel, which I embossed using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder. The sentiment was stamped using Memento Ink and was cut out using the Layering Circles Dies. It’s layered with a Petal Pink circle using the Stitched Shapes Dies. If you’d like the measurements, you can find them below the Supply List.

Today’s card is a fun fold that features the Painted Poppies stamp set and the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder. If you’d like to give it a try, I have a video showing how to make it!
I used Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends to color the poppies and the flower inside the card but first I stamped the images using Memento Ink. When using alcohol based pens such as Stampin’ Blends, the type of ink you use is important. Because Memento Ink is a water-based dye ink, it’s perfect for use with Stampin’ Blends.
All the supplies I used can be found below in the supply list.

Today’s card features the Stampin’ Up! Happy Birthday to You stamp set, a free gift during Sale-a-Bration with a $50 order and the coordinating Birthday Dies. This stamp set is only available during Sale-a-Bration and only while supplies last!
To get the beautiful texture on my Purple Posy cardstock, I used the Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder and my die-cutting machine. I recommend using Multipurpose Glue to adhere the embossed pieces to the Thick Whisper White card base.
After stamping the flower images using Memento Ink, I colored them with Purple Posy & Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. It was so easy cutting the flowers out with the Birthday Dies! I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered them to a circle of Whisper White cardstock that was cut out using the Layering Circles Dies. The sentiment is from the stamp set, Fable Friends, and was inked up with Memento ink. A scalloped circle was cut out of Granny Apple Green cardstock, again using the Layering Circles Dies, and the Whisper White circle was adhered to this. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back (only on the right hand side) before adhering it to the front of the card.

I love the sentiment on today’s card from the stamp set, Peaceful Moments. Every time I read it, I’m reminded to stop and smell the roses and appreciate every day.
To create today’s card, I layered a piece of Golden Honey Designer Series Paper (FREE with a $50 order) onto Basic Black cardstock and then adhered it to my Daffodil Delight card base.
The sentiment was stamped in Memento Ink and cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies using a die-cutting machine. Using the Layering Circles Dies, I cut a Daffodil Delight circle and a Basic Black scalloped circle. The sentiment was adhered to the Daffodil Delight circle using Snail adhesive and then Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back before adhering it to the Basic Black scalloped circle. Before attaching it to the front of the card, more Stampin’ Dimensionals were added. To complete the card, I added three rhinestones.

Today’s card is all about foil! If you like sparkle, you’re going to love Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper. Each sheet in this 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper is double-sided with a beautiful foil pattern on one side and realistic designs on the other. I combined two of the foil designs to create today’s card. It can be really difficult to photograph foil paper and the beauty of the paper is hard to capture but it’s very pretty in person!
I embossed my sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set. At this time of year embossing adds a special touch to your cards. To cut the sentiment out, I used the Stitched Shapes Dies. The scalloped circle underneath it was cut out with the Layering Circles Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the scalloped oval as well as the smaller panel of foil and cardstock.
Heat Embossing Directions
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy over the surface (this 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 so the paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch the magic happen!
