I’ve made a few more cards using Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper (FREE with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration). You can see another card I made with this same design using Beautiful Bokeh 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, here!
For today’s card, I also used the Spotlight on Nature Bundle which includes the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Spotlight on Nature stamp set.
I started with a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and scored it in two places (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I cut two pieces of Bloom Impressions DSP and attached them to the front flaps.
I then folded up the Basic White cardstock and adhered it to the Blackberry Bliss cardstock base using Tear & Tape Adhesive (that’s what I like to use) but you can also use Stampin’ Seal+.
I stamped the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set Spotlight on Nature and cut it out using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I cut another, larger circle out of Blackberry Bliss cardstock using the next larger shape in the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the Blackberry Bliss circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back but only on the right and adhered it to the left flap.
Here’s two more variations. With this first one I used Blackberry Bliss cardstock and Blackberry Bliss ink. With both of them I used the Starstruck Embossing Folder (FREE with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration).
With this next one I used Bloom Impressions DSP and Melon Mambo cardstock and Melon Mambo ink.

Before sharing my card with you today, I want to take some time to explain Sale-a-Bration.
With every $60 or $120 order you spend on Stampin’ Up! products (before tax/shipping), you get to choose a FREE Sale-a-Bration product. For instance, if your order before tax and shipping is $60, you can choose one item in the $60 category. If your order is $120 before tax and shipping, you can choose two products in the $60 category or one in the $120 category. There’s no limit to how many free products you can earn! If you click the graphic above, it will take you to a page where you can see the Sale-a-Bration products. Scroll down and click the $60 category and the $120 category. You’ll be able to choose your free Sale-a-Bration product(s) at check out.
The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the Memorable Blooms Bundle, Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper (it’s FREE with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration), Nested Essentials Dies, and Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins (this is also FREE with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration).
I started with a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock for the base of my card. Then I took a piece of Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) and put the octagon on it and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. There will be an inner piece when you run the octagon through your die cutting machine. We won’t use this piece for today’s card. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I had to cut some dimensionals along the inner edge of the Stampin’ Dimensionals to fit along the sides. I hope that makes sense.
I cut a piece of Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper using the octagon. You will need the inner piece for the card today. I added adhesive to the back and then placed it in the octagon shape.
I stamped the flowers on Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink and the stamp set, Memorable Blooms. I colored it with these Stampin’ Blends: Fresh Freesia and Lemon Lime Twist. I then cut it out using the Memorable Blooms Dies.
I used the Memorable Blooms Dies to cut a piece of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock to cut the leaves. I then added the leaves to the front using Mini Glue Dots. I then added Mini Glue Dots to the flowers and adhered them to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Fresh Freesia ink and the stamp set, Memorable Blooms. I cut it out using the Nested Essentials Dies, 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 and added three Purple Adhesive-Backed Gems to the Toadstool Gardens DSP.

I’m sharing a fun fold card with you today using Beautiful Bokeh 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, Memorable Blooms stamp set, Stylish Shapes Dies and the Starstruck Embossing Folder (free during Sale-a-Bration with a $60 order).
I started with a piece of Berry Burst cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and scored it in two places (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I then folded up the Basic White cardstock and adhered it to the Berry Burst cardstock base using Tear & Tape Adhesive. You can also use Stampin’ Seal+.
I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Sale-a-Bration Embossing Folder, Starstruck (free with a $60 order during Sale-a-bration) and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I then adhered it to the right panel. I cut a piece of Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the left panel.
Before adhering the Basic White cardstock to the inside I stamped the sentiment in Berry Burst ink using the stamp set, Memorable Blooms.
I stamped the sentiment for the front in Berry Burst ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set Memorable Blooms and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut another, larger circle out of Berry Burst cardstock using the next larger shape in the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the Berry Burst cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back but only on the right and adhered it to the left flap.

Thanks for stopping by today!
by Tracy | Dec 13, 2024 | Thank You Card
The card I’m sharing with you today was made using Regal Winter Designer Series Paper (this paper is on the Last Chance List and is on sale), Everyday Greetings stamp set, Oxidized Copper Specialty Designer Series Paper, Nested Essentials Dies, Regal Foiled Adhesive-Backed Dots and I added some gold embossing powder to the sentiment.
I started with a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a piece of Regal Winter Designer Series Paper to the front of the card (you can find the measurements I used to make this card below the Supply List).
Next, I added a piece of Regal Winter DSP to the front of a piece of Oxidized Copper Specialty DSP, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink onto Basic White cardstock, sprinkled gold embossing powder over the sentiment and heated it with my Heat Tool (if you’ve never embossed before, you should try it! I have directions below if you want to give it a try). I cut the sentiment out using the Nested Essentials Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three Regal Foiled Adhesive-Backed Dots below the sentiment and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy (an anti-static pouch that can be found in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit) over the surface of the paper as it 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 and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so your paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image becomes shiny and beautiful!
Supply List
Below you’ll find all the Stampin’ Up! supplies I used for today’s card. If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your demonstrator! You can place an order by clicking any of the images below to go to my Stampin’ Up! online store.
