by Tracy | Jan 20, 2022 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Sale-a-Bration, Stampin' Blends
Today’s card was made with the Friendly Hello Bundle, a Sale-a-Bration product you can earn FREE with a $100 order. It includes the Friendly Hello stamp set and Friendly Hello 12″ x 12′ Designer Series Paper.
I started with a base of Fresh Freesia cardstock and then added a layer of Basic cardstock and three pieces of Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). I then cut a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
I stamped the bird and sentiment onto the stitched rectangle using Memento ink and then colored the bird and flowers with Stampin’ Blends. The bird was colored with both the Light & Dark Pool Party Stampin’ Blends and the flowers with Fresh Freesia Light & Dark Stampin’ Blends. I used Light Crumb Cake to color the branch. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back and I adhered it to the front of the card. I also adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
To complete my card, I used my Light Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend to color three clear Polished Dots and then placed them on the card front.

by Tracy | Dec 16, 2021 | Birthday Card, Embossing Folders, Rectangle Stitched Dies, Stampin' Blends
We just returned home from being out of town for a few days to celebrate my mom’s 90th birthday. I feel very blessed that we were there to celebrate her big day with her. Today’s card is the birthday card I made for her and it features the stamp set, Prized Peony.
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. Normally I cut this piece down but it’s full size to cover the entire front of the card.
I stamped the peony in Memento Ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock and then colored it using these Stampin’ Blends: Fresh Freesia (Light and Dark), Highland Heather (Light) and Old Olive (Light). I COMPLETELY forgot that I have the Peony Dies and even had a conversation with myself that I didn’t feel like fussy cutting it out. I just shook my head when I spotted the dies sitting on my crafting desk. It’s that time of year when our heads can only hold so much, right? I did list the Peony Dies in the Supply List below even though I didn’t actually use them (but I will soon!). I mounted the peony onto a piece of Highland Heather cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To color the peony using my Stampin’ Blends, I did several petals at one time. First, I colored the entire petal with Light Fresh Freesia. Then, I used Dark Fresh Freesia to color in the highlights (this stamp tells you where the highlights are – the very dark areas). I went over this same area again with Light Highland Heather and then went back in with Light Fresh Freesia to blend it all in. I only used Light Old Olive for the leaves and just colored them in and then went over the darker areas a second time When I tried using Dark Old Olive, I felt it was too dark.
I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then stamped the sentiment in Highland Heather ink using the stamp set Artistically Inked. I mounted it onto a piece of Highland Heather cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it below the peony. To complete the card, I added three Elegant Faceted Gems around the peony.
Supply List

Here’s a picture of my mom and I on her big day (I decided to grow out the white/gray during quarantine)!
by Tracy | Nov 10, 2021 | Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders, Stampin' Blends
Today’s card features the Words of Cheer Bundle which includes the Words of Cheer stamp set and the Christmas Cheer Dies. You can purchase the dies and stamp set separately but with the bundle, you’ll save 10%. I also used one of the Checks & Dots Embossing Folders.
I started with a base of Real Red cardstock and then added a layer of Old Olive cardstock. On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive ink at the bottom. Then I placed it inside one of the Checks & Dots Embossing Folders (I used the dots) and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. The entire piece of paper will not fit inside the folder but that’s okay because you don’t want the sentiment to be embossed, so some of your paper will be sticking out of the embossing folder. I adhered this piece to the front of the card.
I stamped the flowers using Memento Ink onto Basic White cardstock and then colored it using both the Light & Dark Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends and the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend. I used both the Light and Dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blends to color the leaves. Once I finished coloring, I used the Christmas Cheer Dies to cut it out. I added quite a few Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and then placed it on the front of the card. To complete the card, I added a rhinestone to the center of each flower and adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

by Tracy | Sep 8, 2021 | Die-Cutting, Scalloped Contours Dies, Stampin' Blends
Today’s card features the Sweets & Treats stamp set and the Scalloped Contours Dies. These dies have been on backorder for several months but are available again as well as the Color & Contour Bundle which includes the Color & Contour stamp set and the Scalloped Contours Dies.
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Real Red cardstock along with a piece of Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper. Then I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock. Onto the rectangle, I used Memento ink to stamp the pie stand using the stamp set, Sweets & Treats. Then I stamped the pie cover. I colored the pie stand using Real Red Stampin’ Blends.
On another piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the pie and heart. I colored the pie using Crumb Cake & Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends (my husband loves blueberry pie so I made my pie, blueberry). I used Crumb Cake & Real Red Stampin’ Blends to color the heart. I fussy cut each one out and then adhered them to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. If I make the card again, I won’t use Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the pie but use regular adhesive instead.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock in Memento Ink using the stamp set, Sweets & Treats. It was cut out using the Seasonal Labels Dies (a new set of dies in the Mini Catalog). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front. To complete the card, I added two Night of Navy Holiday Rhinestones, to each end of the sentiment.

Today’s card features a sneak peek of a Sale-a-Bration free gift you can earn with a $100 order beginning on August 3rd! There are eight different products you will be able to earn with a $50 purchase and two that you can earn with a $100 purchase and there’s no limit to how many products you can earn!
The sneak peek product I used is the Summer Shadows Dies (I can’t share a picture until these dies go live on August 3rd) and they coordinate with our Shaded Summer stamp set in the Annual Catalog. During this round of Sale-a-Bration, some products will only be available while supplies last. The Summer Shadows Dies are one of three products with a limited supply so once they’re available on August 3rd, you’ll want to grab your set as soon as you can.
I started with a base of Highland Heather cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I placed inside the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder and ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (you’ll need to use our Specialty Plate when using our 3D embossing folders). Using the Scalloped Contours Dies I cut a rectangle out of Basic White cardstock and stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink using the Artistically Inked stamp set. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the embossed Basic White cardstock.
On another piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flower image from the Shaded Summer stamp set using Memento Ink. Because I wanted a good solid image, I used my Stamparatus to stamp the image. I die cut the flowers (using the Summer Shadows Dies – available August 3rd) before coloring them because I didn’t want to make a mistake cutting them out after taking the time to color them. Then I colored the image using my Stampin’ Blends: Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the scalloped rectangle.
To complete the card, I added three 2021-2023 In Color Jewels in Fresh Freesia.

I think I’ve mentioned before that my husband and I have several bird feeders in our backyard. When I saw the Garden Birdhouses stamp set, I knew I had to have it. Cute birds and birdhouses? Yes, please!
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Misty Moonlight cardstock and Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I layered pieces of Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper to pieces of Balmy Blue cardstock and then adhered them to the card front. Sweet Symmetry is one of nine Designer Series Papers on sale until August 2nd!
I stamped the branch and birdhouse onto Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink and the Garden Birdhouses stamp set. I colored the birdhouse using Balmy Blue and Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends. I used Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends to fill in areas of the branch and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends to color the leaves. At the last minute I decided to add the bird and stamped it with Memento Ink and colored it with Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends.
I layered the birdhouse onto a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock and then added Stampin’ Blends to the back and adhered it to the Balmy Blue/Designer Series Paper panels. The sentiment was stamped in Memento Ink and cut out with the Tasteful Labels Dies (these dies can be used with Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine). On the back, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right-side only and adhered the sentiment below the birdhouse.
