Today’s card features Lily Pond Lane Designer Series Paper (on sale this month), the Country Flowers stamp set, and Everyday Details Dies.
When I initially saw this paper all I could see were ducks and fish. Upon closer look I saw the pretty florals and I was hooked!
I started with a piece of Pretty in Pink cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I adhered a piece of Lily Pond Lane Designer Series Paper to a piece of Basic White cardstock. I’ve realized that two pieces of this Designer Series Paper are not on the graphic above nor are they on the Stampin’ Up! website. Here are the two missing designs and the back of each one. I called Stampin’ Up! to let them know and hopefully it will be fixed on the website.
Back to my card!! I added another piece of Lily Pond Lane DSP to a piece of Pretty in Pink cardstock and then adhered it to the card front.
I stamped my sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Country Flowers (I love the style of font in this set) using Pretty in Pink ink. I cut it out using the Everyday Details Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the the back and adhered it to the card front.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added three 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems to the front of the card. These gems are hard to keep in stock, probably because they are so beautiful. As of this writing, they are again on the Low Inventory List.

Before sharing my card with you today, I wanted to tell you about a glitch I had on my blog the other day Many of you have signed up to receive a notification whenever I post to my blog. I did post to my blog on Friday but if you signed up to receive a notification, you didn’t receive the notification until Saturday morning. I’m really hoping this was a one time thing and that you get an email notification for this post on Tuesday morning. Recap: my blog post was on my blog site on Friday but the notification didn’t go out until Saturday morning (for those of you who get an email notification).
Today’s card was made using the Perennial Postage Bundle which includes the Perennial Postage stamp set and the Perennial Postage Dies. I also used Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper. and Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder.
I started with a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a layer of Basic White cardstock and Fresh Freesia cardstock that I embossed using the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder.
I then used the Perennial Postage Dies to cut four rectangles out of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper. Then I glued them to the front of the card. I stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Perennial Postage stamp set. I cut the sentiment out, again using the Perennial Postage Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

by Tracy | Nov 1, 2021 | Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders, Sympathy Card
I wanted to send my condolences to a friend and made this card for her.
I started with a base of Misty Moonlight cardstock and then added a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I used the Inspiring Canopy Dies to make the trees. To make it easier to adhere the trees to the card front, I added one of our Adhesive Sheets to the back before running it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. It was a breeze to place the trees on the card with the adhesive already on the back!
The sentiment was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Inspired Thoughts stamp set and then cut out with the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the card. The little bird was cut out of Misty Moonlight cardstock using the Beautiful Trees Dies (another set of tree dies in the Annual Catalog). I added a small amount of Multipurpose Glue to the back and placed him in the branches. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

by Tracy | Sep 22, 2021 | Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders, Sympathy Card
Unfortunately I needed a sympathy card this week and I used the stamp set, Positive Thoughts along with the coordinating Nature’s Thoughts Dies to create today’s card.
I started with a base of Mint Macaron cardstock and then added a layer of Rich Razzleberry cardstock that I embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I used the Nature’s Thoughts Dies and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to cut the Basic White rectangle
I stamped a leafy frond directly onto the Basic White rectangle in Mint Macaron ink using the stamp set Positive Thoughts. Then I stamped two more onto Basic White cardstock, also using Mint Macaron ink and cut them out using the Nature’s Thoughts Dies. I also stamped the flower in Rich Razzleberry ink and cut it out using these same dies.
I adhered the fronds and the flower to the Basic White rectangle using Multipurpose Glue. I stamped the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink using the stamp set Inspired Thoughts and then cut it out using the Double Oval punch. Using this same punch, I also cut a Mint Macaron scalloped oval. I layered the two piece together and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adhering it to the front of the card.
To complete the card, I adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and then added five Genial Gems to the front.

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.
