Today’s card was made using one of the FREE Sale-a-Bration gifts you can earn with a $50 purchase – the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder. This folder is available as a Sale-a-Bration gift until August 31, 2022 or while supplies last. This product is in the Annual Catalog so there are two different product numbers. One allows you to earn it FREE and the other is to purchase it.
- Choose it as your free Sale-a-Bration gift with a $50 purchase using the product number 163100
- Purchase it using the product number 154309


To create my card, I started with a piece of Pool Party cardstock for the base of my card and then adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside. Next, I cut another piece of Basic White cardstock and set it aside (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List).


Next, I opened the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder and on the side that is “indented” I brushed Pool Party ink over the entire area using a Blending Brush. Then I placed my Basic White cardstock inside the folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Believe me, this is addicting when you see what you can create!
Before adhering this layer to the card base, I wrapped a piece of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon around the cardstock and tied a knot.



I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Pool Party ink and the stamp set, Framed Occasions. Then I cut it out using the Beautiful Shapes Dies which coordinate with this stamp set. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card. To complete the card, I added three Iridescent Pearls.

Back to my card! I started with a base of Night of Navy cardstock. Then I cut a piece of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper (DSP) the same size as a piece of Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I ran the Basic White cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Aspen Tree Dies. Then I adhered the Hues of Happiness DSP to the die cut piece by simply adding adhesive all around the edges. Next, I glued this piece to my card front.

I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock with Night of Navy ink using the stamp set, Inspired Thoughts and then cut it out using the Meadow Dies. I used our Silver Foil to cut two leaves using the Aspen Tree Dies (I love the texture of the leaves). I adhered the larger leaf to the card and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the sentiment and adhered it to the card. Then, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the smaller leaf and placed it so the stem was slightly on the sentiment. To finish the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Today’s card was made using Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper and the Amazing Thanks Dies.

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock. Then I cut a piece of Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper (I think this design is so elegant looking in person) and adhered it to a piece of Smoky Slate cardstock (all the measurements I used can be found below the Supply List). These layers were then adhered to a piece of Basic White cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card base.



The Amazing Thanks Dies come with two “thanks” and one is chunkier than the other. I used Smoky Slate cardstock for the chunky one and Basic White for the other one. After I cut them out with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, I layered them together using Multipurpose Glue. Then I put Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back (I had to cut several dimensionals in half) and then adhered it to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment in Smoky Slate ink onto a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Inspired Thoughts. The sentiment I used had more words than I needed, so I covered the words I didn’t want with Post It Tape, inked up the stamp, removed the tape and stamped it onto my cardstock.
I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies (these dies are currently unavailable but more stock should be arriving the week of September 19th). I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it below “thanks”. To complete my card, I added three Elegant Faceted Gems below the sentiment.

The card I’m sharing today was made using the Apple Harvest Bundle which will be available beginning September 1st during the Perfect Partners Promotion! Six new dies will be introduced on September 1st that coordinate with sets in our Annual and Mini Catalogs. The dies can be purchased separately or in a bundle with the coordinating stamp set. BUT, these dies are only available during the month of September and while supplies last!
Click the image below for the Perfect Partners Promotion flyer or HERE (there are two pages).

My card was created using the Apple Harvest stamp set (you can find it in the Mini Catalog) and the Apple Blossoms Dies which will be available on September 1st. The Apple Blossoms Bundle (162526) includes both of these products and you’ll save 10% when you purchase any Stampin’ Up! bundle.


I started with a piece of Granny Green cardstock for the base of my card. Then I adhered two squares of In Color 2022-2024 Designer Series Paper (in Parakeet Party) to a piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered it to the card front.


I stamped the apples and leaves in Memento Ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set Apple Harvest. The apples were colored using Real Red Stampin’ Blends (Light & Dark) and the leaves were colored with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (Light & Dark). The stems were colored with Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends (Light). I cut them out with the Apple Blossoms Dies #160255 (available on September 1st) and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a scalloped rectangle out of Basic White cardstock. Then, I stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink (using the Apple Harvest stamp set) towards the bottom of the rectangle. I adhered the apples to the rectangle and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside to complete the card.

To create today’s card, I used Stampin’ Up! Kraft Note Cards & Envelopes, Fancy Frames Dies, Framed Occasions stamp set and 2022-2024 In Color 6″ x 6″ Glimmer Paper.


For the base of my card, I used one of our Kraft Note Cards. When folded, these cards are 5″ x 3-1/2″. Twenty card bases and twenty envelopes are included and a coordinating box (you’ll need to assemble the box).
I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock a little bit bigger than the leafy frame from the Fancy Frames Dies and adhered one of our adhesive sheets to the back of the cardstock so it would be sticky and I wouldn’t have to add adhesive after I cut it out. Then I ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.



Next, I cut a piece of Glimmer Paper the same size as the frame (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List) and then, very carefully, adhered the frame to it. Then I adhered the glimmery frame to the front of the Kraft Note Card.


I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Tahitian Tide ink and the stamp set, Framed Occasions and cut it out using the Stitched Rectangles Dies. I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the center of the card. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside (optional) and placed an Iridescent Rhinestone at each end of the sentiment.
