Stampin’ Up! Happiest Day Stamp Set

Today I’m sharing a fun-fold card I made this weekend using Regal Winter Designer Series Paper, the Happiest Day stamp set, Autumn Leaves Dies and the Fern 3D Embossing Folder

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Night of Navy cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I cut and scored Basic White cardstock and adhered it to the base of my card (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then, I cut a piece of Regal Winter DSP and adhered it to the inside of the Basic White cardstock. These directions might not seem like they make sense but look at all the pictures to see all the parts of this card and I’m sure when you make it, the directions will make sense. 

 

 

 

I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and embossed it using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and then adhered it to the front flap. I cut another piece of Night of Navy cardstock and scored it to make an insert. I adhered the Night of Navy piece to the Regal Winter Designer Series Paper but just make sure where you want this piece to go before adhering it down (the embossed piece will go under the top flap). 

 

 

 

I added a piece of Regal Winter Designer Series Paper to the front of the Night of Navy insert and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the Night of Navy insert.  I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Night of Navy ink and the stamp set, Happiest Day. I then cut it out using the Autumn Leaves Dies. 

 

 

 

I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and placed it on the card front.

Choice A  Update: I only have four of these boxes avaialble:

  • 3 Die/Stamp Set Bundles

Stampin’ Up! Regal Winter Designer Series Paper

I love Regal Winter Designer Series Paper and I’m sharing a card I made with it today. I also used the Everyday Greetings stamp set, Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder, Stylish Shapes Dies and the new Regal Foiled Adhesive-Backed Dots

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder ( this embossing folder is currently on the Low Inventory List) and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered it to the card base. 

 

 

 

Next, I layered a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock and a piece of Regal Winter Designer Series Paper and then adhered it to the card front. Then, I layered another piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock with another piece of Regal Winter Designer Series Paper, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front. 

 

 

 

I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Blackberry Bliss ink and the Everyday Greetings stamp set. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and then 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 Regal Foiled Adhesive-Backed Dots below the sentiment.

The new September- December Mini Catalog will go live on September 4th. If you’ve ordered from me this year, I ordered a catalog for you and it will come directly from Stampin’ Up!. If you haven’t received your catalog towards the end of the month, let me know. 

For my card today I used the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set (#164184), Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper (#164183), and the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder (#164069). These three products will be available on September 4th. I also used the Everyday Details Dies.

 

 

I started with a piece of Garden Green cardstock for the base of my card. Then I inserted a piece of Basic White cardstock into the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder (available September 4th) and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered it to the front of the Garden Green cardstock.  You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List. 

 

 

 

 

 

I adhered a piece of Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper (available September 4th) to a piece of Garden Green cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card. 

Next, I use the Everyday Details Dies to cut a circle out of Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper (available September 4th) and another larger one out of Garden Green cardstock. Then, I adhered them together, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. 

 

 

 

I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock in Garden Green ink using the stamp set, Winterly Tree Tops (available September 4th). I didn’t want to use the entire sentiment, it says thinking of you always, so I covered the word “always” with a post it note, stamped it into the ink pad, took off the post post it note and stamped it onto my Basic White cardstock. Then, I cut it out using the Everyday Details Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it below the bird. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Stampin’ Up! Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder

Today I’m sharing a card that was included in my Happiest Day Card Sampler. It was made with the Happiest Day stamp set, Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper, the Sketched Butterflies Dies, Everyday Details Dies and the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder.

 

 

 

 

You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List. I cut and scored my Summer Splash cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed my Basic White cardstock using the Dashing Designs Embossing Folder and adhered it to the front of the card. 

 

 

 

Next, I adhered the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper (DSP) to the Basic White cardstock that goes inside the card. I suggest adhering the Basic White cardstock first and then seeing where you want the DSP to go. 

Next, I cut a piece of Summer Splash cardstock and then used the Everyday Details Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then adhered them together. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. 

 

 

 

 

I used the Sketched Butterflies Dies to cut a large butterfly and a small one out of Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper. I adhered them using Mini Glue Dots that I rolled up into a ball and then added rhinestones to each butterfly. 

I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Happiest Day stamp set in Petunia Pop ink and then cut it out using the Everyday Details Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. 

Edited to Add

Bundle Alert: The Sketched Butterflies Bundle is available and includes the Sketched Butterflies stamp set and Sketched Butterflies Dies.You save 10% when you purchase a bundle rather than purchasing the items separately and during the month of June 2024 you’ll receive an extra 10%.

Stampin’ Up! Hearts & Hugs Bundle

Happy Friday! Today’s card was created using the Hearts & Hugs Bundle.  This bundle wasn’t one of my first purchases and I didn’t think I wanted it until I saw so many cute cards made with it! I also used 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper, the Stylish Shapes Dies, the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Blends

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I added a layer of Petunia Pop cardstock and Basic White cardstock to the front of my card. 

Next, I added a piece of 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper to the front. I added a piece of Petunia Pop cardstock that I embossed using the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder and then adhered it to the front of the card. 

 

 

I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut two squares out of Basic White cardstock and then adhered the smaller square to the larger one.  I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the larger square and placed it on the front of the card. 

 

 

 

I stamped the mouse from the Hearts & Hugs stamp set onto Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink. I colored the cute mouse (I don’t think mice are cute in person but this one is) using Petal Pink, Gray Granite and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends. I then cut the mouse out using the Hearts & Hugs Dies. 

I stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Hearts & Hugs stamp set and then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut the end off of the sentiment, otherwise it would stick out on the other side of the mouse. I adhered the sentiment to the mouse using Mini Glue Dots and then added more Mini Glue Dots to the mouse and adhered it to the smaller square. 

 

 

 

To complete my card, I cut three hearts out of Petunia Pop cardstock using the Hearts & Hugs Dies, added Mini Glue Dots to the back of each one and adhered them to the front of the card. I’m so glad I purchased this bundle because I really enjoyed making this card! You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Mystery Boxes 

 

What’s a Mystery Box? 

A Mystery Box is filled with retired products that I’d like to give to a new home. I’ve been a demonstrator for almost 15 years so you can just imagine how much I have! I have Medium Rate Flat Rate USPS shipping boxes stuffed with retired Stampin’ Up! product.The boxes contain stamps, dies, ribbon, embellishments and more! The boxes are already sealed and every box will be different and a mystery as to what’s inside! The value of each box is well over $200. 

All of the products in the Mystery Boxes have retired but some have never been used, some are used and all are “as is”. Some of the stamp sets are wood mount. 

You can place an order HERE.

Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies Bundle

Today I’m sharing a card that I made using the Sketched Butterflies Bundle. I also used the Spotlight on Nature Dies, Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (unfortunately this paper is unavailable right now but should be back in stock sometime next week – the week of May 27th) and the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Petunia Pop cardstock for the base of my card.  Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder and then adhered it to the front of my card. 

 

 

 

Next, I cut a circle out of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper using the Spotlight on Nature Dies and then used the same paper to cut three butterflies using the Sketched Butterflies Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the circle and adhered it to the front of the card. I added Mini Glue Dots to the backs of the butterflies and adhered them to the circle.

 

 

 

I stamped the sentiment in Petunia Pop ink using the Sketched Butterflies stamp set. I then cut it out using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I added a Mini Glue Dot to the part that would be sitting on the DSP circle and Stampin’ Dimensionals to the bottom and adhered it to the card.

 

 

 

To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card and added a rhinestone to each of the butterflies.

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. The Specialty Plate is used with 3D Embossing Folders.
