Today’s card might look familiar. I made a very similar card a few weeks ago but made several changes to this “updated” one.
Here’s the first one I made. If you want to check it out, here’s the link to that post.
What are the differences between the two? First, I changed the measurements, just slightly so that less white would show between the panels (I’ve listed the measurements farther down in the post). Today’s card uses the Hammered Metal embossing folder rather than the Mosaic embossing folder. Instead of using the Gathered Leaves Dies, I used our Leaf Punch and embossed them with the Hammered Metal folder. The sentiment was cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies and layered on a Merry Merlot oval using the Layering Ovals Dies.
Both cards have a cute little bow, made with our Linen Thread. The bows were adhered using just a dot of our Multipurpose Glue. A little of that glue goes a long, long way!
Try taking a card you’ve made before and change it up a bit!

I’m in love with our Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper. This paper is so gorgeous that you really don’t need to add much else to your card. I used two different designs in this pack of paper for the two layers of my card. They coordinate so well together!
The base of the card is Blueberry Bushel. The first layer of Designer Series Paper was adhered with Snail but the top layer has Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back, as does the sentiment. Adding Dimensionals to a layer really changes the look of a card.
The sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using Blueberry Bushel ink and the stamp set, Parcels & Petals. It was cut out using the Layering Ovals Dies.

Happy Monday! I hope you had a nice weekend! Last week we went on a mini vacation where we were just a block away from the beach. Several mornings we got up and walked down to the beach to watch the waves and the surfers. I wish I could wake up to that every single morning. It’s so calming and beautiful. While we were away, my husband, Mark, and I also celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary. It was really nice getting away for a few days.
When we got home from our vacation, I created today’s card which uses an oldie but goodie die, Springtime Impressions, which includes a beautiful die-cut butterfly.
I paired it with our Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper and Blackberry Bliss cardstock. I absolutely love this Designer Series Paper. It’s gorgeous!
I used the stamp set Parcels & Petals for the sentiment and inked it up with Blackberry Bliss. I cut it out with the Stitched Shapes Dies and then cut a Blackberry Bliss scalloped oval using the Layering Ovals Dies. The Stitched Shapes Dies are very versatile because they coordinate with the Layering Circles Dies, Layering Squares Dies and Layering Ovals Dies.
The smaller layer of cardstock and Designer Series Paper was popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals as well as the Blackberry Bliss scalloped oval. Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals were used on the back of the butterfly to give it dimension too!
Bundle Alert
When you purchase the Parcels & Petals Bundle, you’ll save 10%. It includes the Parcels & Petals stamp set and the Perfect Parcels Dies. Be sure to use the bundle item number 151107.
