Today’s card features the Blessings of Home Bundle which includes the Blessings of Home stamp set and the Flowers of Home Dies. I also used the Scalloped Contours Dies and the Fern 3D Embossing Folder.
Edited to Add: When you spend $100 during Sale-a-Bration, you can earn the Flower of Home Dies absolutely FREE. You must use this item number when choosing these dies as your free gift: #163095. If you use the item number in the catalog, it won’t come up FREE. This offer is good until August 31, 2022 or while supplies last. You can see this Sale-a-Bration product HERE.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I ran a piece of Basic White cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card base.
Next, I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a rectangle out of a piece of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive ink at the bottom of the rectangle. This sentiment had more words on it than I wanted so I covered the part I didn’t want with Post It Tape, inked up the stamp, removed the tape and stamped it onto my rectangle. I did this for another card recently and you can see that post here.
On another piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flowers using Memento Ink (this is the ink to use when using Stampin’ Blends). I colored the flowers using these Stampin’ Blends: Melon Mambo (light & dark), Old Olive (light and dark) and Daffodil Delight (light). After coloring it, I cut it out using the Flowers of Home Dies. I thought about popping the flowers up with Dimensionals but decided against it and just used regular adhesive but I did add Dimensionals to the back of the rectangle before adhering it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels around the flowers.

I purchased the Starter Kit because I wanted everything in the catalog and the fact that I could get a discount on the products I loved was a big draw. I was purchasing the products anyway and getting a discount on top of it? I was in but I DID NOT want to have parties and sell the products I was purchasing. A few months later, a friend suggested I get a small group of teachers together (I was an elementary teacher for 22 years) and make the cards I had created and the rest is history. You can just get the discount or get the discount and share your love of cardmaking. It’s totally up to you.

Today’s card features the Wonderful World Bundle (a FREE Sale-a-Bration gift with a $100 purchase) which includes the Wonderful World stamp set and Wonderful World 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper.
I used this design on a previous card but changed up the sentiment. You can see it here.
I started with a piece of Starry Sky cardstock for the base of my card. Then I ran a piece of Basic White cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder and then adhered it to my card front.
I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut two squares of Wonderful World Designer Series Paper. Then I layered each to a piece of Starry Sky cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) and adhered them to the front of the card. For the sentiment, I used the Stitched Rectangles to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then stamped the sentiment in Starry Sky ink using the stamp set, Season of Chic. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the top square. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
Unfortunately the Stylish Shapes Dies are currently unavailable. Stampin’ Up! has estimated they will be back in stock the week of September 19th.
I placed the sentiment on the bottom square on the card below.

Today I’m sharing another card using Rings of Love Designer Series Paper. I love this paper and it’s FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration! I shared another card yesterday with a different design from this package of paper and you can see it here.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a layer of Mint Macaron cardstock, Night of Navy cardstock and Rings of Love Designer Series Paper (you can find the measurements I used below the supply list). Next, I used the Amazing Thanks Dies to cut the word “thanks” out of Night of Navy and Basic White cardstock. I used Multipurpose Glue to adhere the two pieces together (another option is to use our Adhesive Sheets). I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back (I cut some in half) and adhered it to the front of the card.
The sentiment I used is from the Happiness Abounds stamp set but I didn’t want the entire sentiment so I covered the part I didn’t want with Post It Tape (or you can use a post it note). Then I inked the stamp with Night of Navy ink, removed the post it tape and stamped onto Basic White cardstock. The trick is to remember to remove the post it tape!!! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten this really important step! 🙂
I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut out the sentiment. The die is larger than the sentiment and has a banner at each end so I positioned one end of the die at the beginning of the sentiment and then trimmed off the other end with my Paper Snips. These are excellent and very sharp scissors! I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added five clear Elegant Faceted Gems to the front.

I started with a base of Petal Pink cardstock. Then I added a layer of Basic White to the inside of the card and the front.

I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut a circle out of Basic White cardstock and another larger, scalloped one out of Petal Pink cardstock. Before adhering the two pieces together, I stamped the sentiment in Sweet Sorbet ink using the stamp set, Hippest Hippos. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
