Today’s card features the Nature’s Prints Bundle which includes the Nature’s Prints stamp set and the Natural Prints Dies. I also used our new Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut three pieces of Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper and adhered them to the front of the card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). To make it easier to add the wreath to the card, I added a piece of an adhesive sheet to the back of my Basic White cardstock, placed the wreath die on top of the cardstock (not the adhesive side) and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I peeled the adhesive sheet away from the wreath and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Mint Macaron ink and the stamp set, Nature’s Prints. I cut it out using the Natural Prints Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the card. To complete the card, I added two Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels on each side of the sentiment.

Today’s card features Stampin’ Up! Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Soft Seedlings. It may look as though the card is difficult to create but it really isn’t!
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). After the paper is cut and scored, there are two side panels that open like a gate. I cut two pieces of Pool Party cardstock for each of the panels and ran them through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. Then I adhered them to each side.
I cut two “flaps” out of Basic White cardstock and then added Texture Chic Designer Series Paper to each one. I adhered one flap to the right side (only adding adhesive to the part that would be touching that panel) and then added the other flap to the other side. I hope that makes sense! It really is an easy card to make!
I stamped the sentiment in Pool Party ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set Soft Seedlings. I then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the top flap.
I have to give credit to Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Sue Campfield for the idea of this fun fold! I saw some cute cards she made with this fold and I had to give it a try with my own take on it.
Here was my first try at making this card. I decided it needed something and that’s when I added the Pool Party panels. I used the Season of Chic stamp set and the Natural Prints Dies.

Today’s cards were made using baby wipes, Stampin’ Ink Refills and the stamp set, Soft Seedlings. This technique is super easy and you’ll never get the same results.
I made these cards while I was staying at my mom’s and I didn’t have all the colors of ink refills that I wanted but I did have Cajun Craze and Daffodil Delight so I went with those two colors. Ideally I would have liked to use Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry. I took four baby wipes and folded them in half and then placed them on a non porous surface. Then I started adding drops of ink refill all over the wipes. This acts a stamp pad! Then I inked up the leaf stamp into my homemade stamp pad and then stamped it onto Basic White cardstock. I did add additional drops to get a deeper color. It’s all experimental and there’s no right or wrong way to do this technique!
I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut the leaves “out” and tried using a variety of cardstock colors and embossing folders. For the card above, I used the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in Cajun Craze ink using the stamp set, Soft Seedlings. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the leaf piece before adding it to the card. I also used Iridescent Rhinestones on all four cards..
For this next card, I used Cajun Craze cardstock for the base of my card and again used the Scalloped Contours Dies.
This next card has a Daffodil Delight card base and I used the Twigs & Springs Embossing Folder (which also comes with a die).
For this last card, I used a Cajun Craze card base and the Twigs & Springs Embossing Folder.
I hope you’ll give this technique a try! I’d recommend picking three colors and go for it!
Supply List
** Non Stampin’ Up!: Baby Wipes
Measurements
- Card Base (Thick Basic White, Cajun Craze or Daffodil Delight): 11″ x 4-1/4″ score at 5-1/2″
- Basic White cardstock (embossed piece and inside): 5-1/4″ x 4″
- Basic White cardstock (large scalloped piece): approx. 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″
- Basic White cardstock (smaller scalloped rectangle) approx. 4-3/4″ x 3-1/2″

Friends,
When I’m going to be away from my blog for several days or longer, I like to let you know that I won’t be posting.
My 61 year old brother-in-law, Steve, found out he had a brain tumor (glioblastoma) in February 2021. Up until three weeks ago, he was still playing golf but there were signs that the tumor was becoming aggressive. Steve passed away this morning. I will be taking time off to support my husband during this difficult time.

Today’s card features the stamp set, Full of Love, Stylish Shapes Dies and the Gingham Embossing Folder.
I started with a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Gingham Embossing Folder. I also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card. Next, I stamped the flowers and envelope onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento ink and the stamp set, Full of Love. Then I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies.
I colored the flowers using these Stampin’ Blends: Sweet Sorbet, Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather and Daffodil Delight. I then cut a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock and adhered the flower image to it. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I used Linen Thread to make a bow and then added a Mini Glue Dot to the back and adhered it to the flower image.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Sweet Sorbet ink and the stamp set, Full of Love. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete the card, I added three 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds to the front of the card.
