Today’s card features the stamp set Perfectly Plaid, the Pine Tree Punch, the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders and Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper.
I began with a base of Early Espresso cardstock (all the measurements I used can be found below the Supply List) and then added a layer of Evening Evergreen cardstock. Then I added two squares of Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper.
I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders and then layered it onto a piece of Early Espresso cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used the Perfectly Plaid stamp set to stamp two trees in Evening Evergreen ink. The tree in the forefront was stamped onto a piece of scrap paper and then stamped onto my Basic White cardstock. The darker tree was adhered using Multipurpse Liquid Glue and the other tree has a Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back. The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso ink and cut out using the Stitched Rectangles Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it below the trees.
To complete my card, I added two Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Today’s card features Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Dies, Encircled in Warmth stamp set, Wintry 3D Embossing Folders and Tidings of Christmas 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. If the Poinsettia Dies look familiar, it’s because they debuted in the 2020 Mini Catalog and can now be found in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. The beauty of many of the dies in this set is that they cut and emboss at the same time! To see what I mean, take a look at the embossing on the poinsettia!
I started with a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock and then added a layer of Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper. Next, I adhered a piece of Soft Succulent cardstock that I ran through one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders. These embossing folders are currently on backorder and as of today, they can still be added to your order and will ship when they are back in stock (estimated to be back in stock next week). The rest of your order will ship without the embossing folders.
I used the Poinsettia Dies to cut two Silver Foil sprigs. Before running one of the sprigs though the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine, I added the little piece for the center of the flower onto the paper. I also cut two poinsettia flowers out of Basic White cardstock. I adhered a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional between the two flower pieces and then added a regular Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the larger flower. I used our Mini Glue Dots to adhere the foil sprigs to the back of the poinsettia and then adhered the flower to the front of the card.
When using the poinsettia and leaves dies, you’ll use two dies. One of the dies cuts the flower shape and the other embosses the paper. I used a Sharpie to mark the dies so I would know exactly how the inside piece fits (it’s a big time saver).
I used the Stitched Rectangles Dies to cut a rectangle out of Basic White cardstock and then stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen ink. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete the card, I adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

by Tracy | Sep 16, 2021 | Card Sampler, Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders, Rectangle Stitched Dies, Scalloped Contours Dies
Today’s card features Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper (free during Sale-a-Bration with a $50 order), the stamp set, Heartfelt Wishes and the Scalloped Contours Dies.
I started with a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder. Then I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut two scalloped rectangles using Basic White cardstock and Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper. I layered those two pieces together and then wrapped a piece of Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon around them and tied a knot. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it in the center of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Heartfelt Wishes. This is a new stamp set in the Mini Catalog. It has a lot of Christmas greetings but also includes a few sentiments for other occasions as well. I cut the sentiment out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies, 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.
Bundle Alert: The Scalloped Contours Dies can be purchased individually but can also be purchased in the Color & Contour Bundle that also includes the Color & Contour Stamp Set. Bundles always save you 10%.

Today’s card features the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder and the Brilliant Wings Dies. I just can’t stop playing with these butterfly dies!
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Scripty 3D Dies. Then I cut a butterfly using Butterfly Bijou 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the Brilliant Wings Dies. I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the butterfly to adhere it to the front of the card (in some areas, I cut the dimensionals in half). I added three rhinestones down the center for some sparkle.
I stamped the sentiment in Just Jade ink using the stamp set Hydrangea Haven and cut it out using the Rectangle Stitched Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. It’s a very quick and easy card to make!

by Tracy | Feb 9, 2021 | Die-Cutting, Rectangle Stitched Dies, Sympathy Card
Today’s sympathy card features the stamp set, Vine Design. Unfortunately this is a card I’ll be sending to a friend who recently lost her mother. My friend is in her late thirties so it will be a difficult one to send.
The base of my card is Seaside Spray cardstock. I stamped the vines onto another piece of Seaside Spray cardstock using Seaside Spray ink and then cut it out using the Rectangle Stitched Dies. I layered it onto another piece of Seaside Spray cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Before adding these two layers to the card base, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back.
The sentiment was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink onto Seaside Spray cardstock and was cut out using the Ornate Frames Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adhering it to the front of the card. To complete the card, I added three of our Pearls below the sentiment.
