Today’s quick and easy card was created using Stampin’ Up! Heart & Home Designer Series Paper, Stitched Rectangles Dies and Hippo & Friends Dies.
I started with a piece of Pale Papaya cardstock for the card base and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I used the Stitched Rectangles Dies to cut two pieces of Heart & Home Designer Series Paper and adhered them to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Garden Green ink and the stamp set, Flowing Flowers and then cut it out using the Hippo & Friends Dies. Next, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and placed it in the middle of the card. To complete my card, I added three Polished Dots to the sentiment piece and adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside. Imagine all the possibilities using different colors of cardstock and Designer Series Paper!

by Tracy | Jan 26, 2022 | Card Sampler, Designer Series Paper, Embossing Folders, Quick & Easy Card
Today I have a very quick and easy card using New Horizons Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, On the Horizon.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder. Then I cut a piece of New Horizons Designer Series Paper (you can find the measurements I used below). I stamped the sentiment and the birds in Memento Ink using the stamp set, On the Horizon, directly onto the Designer Series Paper.
I adhered the Designer Series Paper to a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adhering it to the front of the card! Quick and easy, right?!!

Today’s card features several new products from the Stampin’ Up! January – June Mini Catalog: Flowing Flowers stamp set, Beautiful Shapes Dies, Amazing Thanks Dies and Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Fresh Freesia cardstock. Next, I stamped the flowers onto Basic White cardstock using Fresh Freesia ink and the stamp set, Flowing Flowers. I didn’t worry about stamping in the middle of the cardstock because I knew I’d be covering it up with the sentiment. This stamp set is in our DistINKtive line and these stamps are always so detailed!
After stamping the flowers, I adhered that piece to the base of the card. I cut the “thanks” out using the Amazing Thanks Dies. One piece was cut out of Basic White cardstock and for the other, I used Gorgeous Grape cardstock. I used Multipurpose Glue to glue the two pieces together and then used it to glue the words to the circle which I cut out using the Beautiful Shapes Dies.
I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the circle before placing it on the front of the card. For the finishing touch, I added four Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (they really sparkle).

Happy Monday!
On Saturday I shared the card below, made with Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper, a free Sale-a-Bration gift you can earn FREE with a $50 order (before shipping/tax). Today I have two more variations of the card. On Saturday I also included a free PDF tutorial with all the measurements that you can access HERE (scroll down past the Supply List).
This first card (below) has a Crushed Curry cardstock base and instead of using an embossed piece of cardstock on the side panel, I used another pattern in Daffodil Afternoon. I used the Hippo & Friends Dies to cut out the sentiment and the piece it’s layered with. I stamped the sentiment onto Very Vanilla cardstock using Memento Ink and the stamp set, Boughs & Blossoms.
This next card has a Pear Pizzazz base. All three cards use the same measurements and supplies. You can see Saturdays post here where you’ll find the link to the free tutorial with all the measurements.

by Tracy | Jan 5, 2022 | Designer Series Paper, Quick & Easy Card, Sale-a-Bration
Today’s card features some new products from the Stampin’ Up! January – June Mini Catalog and the Sale-a-Bration brochure!
I started with a piece of Pool party cardstock for the base of my card. Then I layered a piece of Basic White cardstock with Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper. This Designer Series Paper is part of the Friendly Hello Bundle and it’s one of the free gifts you can receive during Sale-a-Bration with a $100 order. If you choose this as your free gift, you’ll receive the Designer Series Paper and a stamp set.
Before adhering the Pool Party cardstock and Designer Series Paper to the base of my card, I wrapped our sheer Pool Party ribbon around the layers and tied a knot.
I stamped the sentiment using the brand new stamp, Happy Hedgehogs, in Memento ink and cut it out using the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch. You can also purchase the Happy Hedgehogs Bundle which includes this stamp set and a hedgehog punch. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and placed it on top of the ribbon. For the finishing touch, I added one of our Brushed Brass Butterflies. In the picture below, I used Pool Party ink instead of Memento Ink to stamp the sentiment.

Today’s card features the So Many Snowflakes Dies. These dies debuted in last year’s holiday catalog and carried over into the Annual Catalog! I also used the stamp set, Heartfelt Wishes and Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper.
I started with a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock. Then I used the So Many Snowflakes Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock. I heat embossed the sentiment using silver embossing powder (see directions for heat embossing below). I adhered a piece of Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper to the back of the Basic White cardstock and then adhered both pieces to the front of the card.
I used the So Many Snowflakes Dies to cut two small snowflakes out of Blushing Bride cardstock. I added small dots of Multipurpose Glue to the back of both before adhering them to the card front. For some sparkle, I added a rhinestone to the center of both snowflakes. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing an anti-static pouch over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder (Stampin’ Up! no longer carries this product but it’s a must when embossing). 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 and then 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 your image is transformed!
