To create today’s card I used Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper, a free Sale-a-Bration gift when you place a $50 order (before shipping/tax). You’ll receive (12) 12″ x 12″ sheets of these rose gold and silver foil designs. This paper is only available until March 31, 2020 or while supplies last!
I also used the stamp set, Seriously the Best, and embossed the sentiment with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I love the boldness of the sentiments in this set and when they’re embossed, a beautiful focal point is created.
The beauty of this Designer Series Paper is that you can easily add any Stampin’ Up! color to the white areas. I used Lovely Lipstick ink and applied it with a Sponge Dauber. It’s a good idea to take a tissue or a soft cloth and rub it over the surface of the paper after applying color to pick up any ink that’s sitting on top of the raised foil.
How to Heat Emboss
Rub an Embossing Buddy over the surface of your cardstock (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 for about 10 seconds to minimize warping of your paper. Direct the heat over your image and watch the magic happen!

The card I’m sharing with you today was created using Best Dressed 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder. If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find all the measurements below the Supply List.
One of the colors I used in today’s card is Lovely Lipstick, which is one of the 2018-2020 In Colors and will be retiring very soon! Anything in our retiring colors (paper, ink refills, stamp pads, etc.) always tend to sell out fast once the retiring list is published so if you love Lovely Lipstick, like I do, I’d recommend stocking up now!
The other colors I used are Whisper White and Petal Pink. The sentiment is from the stamp set Bloom & Grow and it was stamped in Memento Ink onto Whisper White cardstock. It was cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies and adhered to a scalloped oval in Lovely Lipstick, cut out with the Layering Ovals Dies. To complete the card, I added three Glitter Enamel Dots in Melon Mambo.

Happy Stamping!
by Tracy | Mar 11, 2020 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Layering Ovals Dies, Stitched Shapes Dies
Today’s card was created using the beautiful So Very Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper is FREE with a $50 order until March 31, 2020 or while supplies last!! Each package contains 6 sheets of 12″ x 12″ paper in Pool Party, Purple Posy and Soft Sea Foam (2 of each color). It’s so pretty!
The base of the card is Purple Posy cardstock as well as the smaller layer which was popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Because vellum is very sheer, I was a bit apprehensive about attaching the vellum to the cardstock but I used Mini Glue Dots, one in each corner, and you can’t even see them!
The Peaceful Moments stamp set was used to stamp the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink onto Whisper White cardstock and cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies. The larger Purple Posy scalloped oval was cut out with the Layering Ovals Dies. The Stitched Shapes Dies coordinate not only with the Layering Ovals Dies but the Layering Circles Dies and Layering Squares Dies.
To complete the card, I added three Glitter Enamel Dots in Gorgeous Grape.

Happy Stamping!
by Tracy | Feb 28, 2020 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders, Layering Ovals Dies, Stitched Shapes Dies
I used the Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper (#152312) to create today’s card. Beginning on March 3rd, this beautiful foil paper will be available as a FREE Sale-a-Bration gift with a $50 purchase but only while supplies last!
This design is pretty all on it’s own but I used a Seaside Spray ink pad and a sponge dauber to add color to the paper.
The card base is Pacific Point cardstock with a layer of Seaside Spray cardstock, embossed using the Eyelet Lace embossing folder and a die-cutting machine (all the measurements I used can be found below the Supply List).
After coloring the Flowering Foils Designer Series paper, I adhered it to a piece of Gold Foil and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back.
The sentiment was stamped with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder using the stamp set, Timeless Tropical. To prepare my Whisper White paper, I went over the surface with an Embossing Buddy as it helps extra powder from sticking. Then I stamped the sentiment using a Versmark pad, poured the embossing powder over the paper and shook off the excess. Once my Heat Tool was very hot (cuts down on warping) I melted the embossing powder for beautiful results!
The sentiment was cut out using the Stitched Shapes Dies and a larger oval in Gold Foil was cut out using the Layering Ovals Dies. They were adhered together and then Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back before placing it on my card.

Sale-A-Bration Catalog
by Tracy | Feb 26, 2020 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Punches, Stitched Shapes Dies
To create my card to share with you today, I used the Stampin’ Up! stamp set Thoughtful Blooms and the Small Bloom Punch. These two coordinating products are FREE Sale-a-Bration products you can earn. When you place a $50 order, you can choose the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set and with a $100 order, the Small Bloom Punch. All products in the Sale-a-Bration catalog are while supplies last (two products have already sold out – the Kerchief Card Kit and the Metallic Baker’s Twine & Sequins Combo Pack).
I started by adhering two panels of Parisian Blossoms Designer Series Paper to the Pool Party card base (you can find all the measurements I used below the supply list). I added another panel of Whisper White to the inside of the card.
The sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento Ink and then cut out using the Starburst Punch. I adhered it to a larger piece of Pool Party cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies and a die-cutting machine. On the back, Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the right side and then attached to the card.
I stamped three flowers, two in Highland Heather ink and one in Pool Party and then cut them out with the Small Bloom Punch. I adhered the Highland Heather flowers to the card using Multipurpose Glue but the Pool Party flower has a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional on the back. To complete the card, I added a pearl to the inside of each flower.

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.
If you’d like the measurements for today’s card, you can find them below the Supply List.
