Today I have a card to share with you using the Nested Friends Bundle which includes the Nested Friends stamp set and the Nested Friends Dies. I love a cute bird stamp set and if there are dies too, I’m in! I also used the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder.
I started with a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock, placed it inside the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder, ran it though my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and then adhered it to the front of my card. Next, I cut a circle out of Basic White cardstock using the Layering Circles Dies and cut a scalloped circle out of Balmy Blue cardstock.
I used the Nested Friends stamp set and stamped the branch onto the Basic White circle using Memento Ink. I stamped the bird onto another piece of Basic White cardstock. Then I colored the branch using my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Combo pack and my Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blend (I went over some of the areas a second time to get the color darker). The bird was colored with the Light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend (body), Light Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend (body) and the Dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend (beak). I adhered the white circle to the scalloped Balmy Blue circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
Using the Nested Friends Dies, I cut the bird out, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the branch. I added three Glossy Dots around the bird and branch. I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Nested Friends Stamp Set and Memento Ink. I cut it out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and then cut a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock a little bit bigger than the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the Balmy Blue cardstock, 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 of the card.

Today’s card was made using the Stampin’ Up! stamp set, Beautifully Happy. You can earn this stamp set FREE with a $100 purchase during Sale-a-Bration 2023 (supplies are limited and may run out before Sale-a-Bration is over on February 28, 2023). I also used Regency Park Designer Series Paper.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then I added strips of Regency Park Designer Series Paper using two different designs and adhered them to the card base.
Next, I stamped the flowers and leaves in the Beautifully Happy stamp set in Memento Ink and then colored them using these Stampin’ Blends:
- Balmy Blue Light and Dark
- Granny Apple Green Light and Dark
- Daffodil Delight Dark
After I colored the flowers and leaves I cut them out using the Stylish Shapes Dies (these dies have been out of stock but are estimated to be in the week of February 13, 2023). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it in the center of the card.
I then stamped the sentiment in Memento ink and cut it out with Stylish Shapes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the lower right hand corner. To complete my card, I added three Glossy Dots which add a lot of sparkle to the card!

Today’s fun fold card was created using Stampin’ Up! Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper, Charming Sentiments stamp set and one of the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folders. This paper is only available for a limited time and can be purchased while supplies last.
I started with a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock for the base of my card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I cut a piece off the end but saved it to use on the front of the card. Next, I cut a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock and ran it through one of the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folders and adhered it to the top of the card. I used the piece of Evening Evergreen I cut off the base of the card and layered it with a piece of Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back, just at the top, and adhered it to the embossed Balmy Blue cardstock.
I cut another piece of Balmy Blue cardstock and adhered it to the inside of the card. Then I cut a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock and layered it with a piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered it to the inside of the card. I stamped the sentiment in Balmy Blue ink using the Charming Sentiments stamp set and then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Using the Layering Circles Dies, I cut a scalloped circle out of Evening Evergreen cardstock and adhered the sentiment to the front. Then, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
