Today I have four cards to share with you. After making the first card, I decided to try several different color combinations using Butterfly Kisses 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies.
For this first card, I used the Fern 3D Embossing Folder for the first layer. I layered the Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper with Parakeet Party cardstock (one of the new In Colors) and the squares were cut out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. The sentiment was stamped in Starry Sky ink using the stamp set, Cup of Tea and also cut out with the Stylish Shapes Dies. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the Parakeet Party square. To complete the card, I added three Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the front of the card and a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
Bundle Alert: The Cup of Tea Bundle (currently on the Low Inventory List) includes the stamp set, Cup of Tea, and the Teacup Dies.
For this next card, I used Fresh Freesia ink for the sentiment and added three 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots.
For the next two cards I used Fresh Freesia cardstock and Fresh Freesia ink for the sentiment. The first card was made using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder, just like the first two cards but for the second one I used the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder. Because of the size of the embossing folder, the entire piece of cardstock isn’t embossed but I felt it looked fine if the unembossed side was over to the left. For both cards, I added three 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds to the front.
You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Today’s card was made using the Bottled Happiness Bundle which includes the Bottled Happiness stamp set and the Vintage Bottle Punch. I also used my Stamparatus to line up the two images that make up the bouquet of flowers.
For the base of my card I used one of the Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes and as the name states, there’s a matching envelope for each card base. I layered a piece of Basic White cardstock and Starry Sky cardstock together and adhered them to the front of the card.
I cut another piece of Basic White cardstock and placed it in the Stamparatus. There are two stamps that make up the bouquet (see the diagram below). I used the stamp with the leaves first and placed it on the cardstock exactly where I wanted and then closed the Stamparatus cover so the stamp would stay in place. I used my Parakeet Party Stampin’ Write Marker to color the leaves on the stamp and the Starry Sky Stampin’ Write Marker to color the small flowers which are actually the centers of the larger flowers. Then I closed the cover to stamp the image onto my Basic White cardstock. I colored the images a second time so they’d be darker.
The beauty of the Stamparatus is that you can remove the plate and turn it around and use the other side (plus it comes with two plates) which I did. I didn’t remove the first stamp so I can make multiples of my card at a later time. When I stamped the other image, I used my Orchid Oasis stamp pad to color the images. It took me several tries (five or six, if I’m being honest) to get my stamps aligned exactly how I wanted them. It was worth it because I love the finished bouquet. Imagine all the possibilities with different colors!! Those two stamps aren’t coming off my plate for a while!
I adhered the bouquet stamped image to the front of the card and then stamped the bottle in Starry Sky ink and cut it out with the Vintage Bottle Punch. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it below the bouquet. I used the All That Dies to cut the sentiment banner and then stamped the sentiment in Orchid Oasis ink using the stamp set, Bottled Happiness.
I used several Mini Glue Dots to adhere the sentiment to the bottle. Then I used three strands of White Baker’s Twine (part of the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack) and made a bow. I added a Mini Glue Dot to the back and adhered it to the bottle.
Bundle Alert: The He’s All That Bundle includes the All That Dies and He’s All That stamp set. You’ll always save 10% when you purchase a bundle.

Today’s card features Stampin’ Up! Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes and the Sweet Songbirds Bundle which includes the Sweet Songbirds stamp set and the Songbird Builder Punch.
I cut a piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock and placed it inside the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then I layered it onto a piece of Basic White cardstock. Next, I wrapped a piece of Starry Sky Metallic Woven Ribbon around the cardstock layer and tied a bow over on the left-hand side. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it the front of a Tea Boutique Card Base.
I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a circle and the sentiment piece out of Basic White cardstock. Then on another piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the bird using Orchid Oasis ink and the stamp set, Sweet Songbirds, and punched it out using the Songbird Builder Punch. I stamped the wing also in Orchid Oasis ink and punched it out. I used Pumpkin Pie cardstock for the bird’s beak and used the punch for that too. I adhered the wing and beak to the bird but before adhering the birdie to the circle, I decided where I wanted to place her and then stamped her feet in Memento Ink. I also used Memento Ink for her eyes.
I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the circle and adhered it on top of the ribbon.
I stamped the sentiment in Orchid Oasis ink using the stamp set, Sweet Songbirds onto the sentiment piece. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it below the bird. To complete the card, I added a Matte Decorative Dot at each end of the sentiment.

The card I have to share with you today features the stamp set, Limited Edition and Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper (I can’t get enough of this paper).
I started with a base of Pool Party cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then I placed a piece of Basic White cardstock inside one of the Elegant 3D Embossing Folders and ran it through the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine.

Next, I layered a piece of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper with a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Limited Edition in Fresh Freesia ink and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added adhesive just to the corner of the circle (the part that would be sitting on the Designer Series Paper layer) and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete the card, I added an In Color Opal Round below the sentiment and added a piece of Basic White cardstock inside the card.

On to my card!
I started with a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock for the base of my card. I cut two pieces of Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then I cut two smaller pieces of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using one of the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folders (there are two folders included in this set).
I adhered all four pieces to a piece of Merry Merlot cardstock and then adhered the Merry Merlot to the card base. I stamped the sentiment in Merry Merlot ink using the stamp set, Happy & Heartfelt. This stamp set is retiring and will only be available while supplies last. I was hoping it would carry over to the new catalog but sadly, it isn’t.
I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I also cut a larger circle out of Merry Merlot cardstock using the same dies and adhered the sentiment to it. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the center of the card. To complete my card, I added three Solid Faceted Gems to the front (I was surprised at how sparkly they are – I love sparkle),

Kits Collection Sale Beginning on June 1, 2022
I didn’t want to end my post without acknowledging the horrible tragedy in Texas. It’s just heartbreaking and I think we’ve all been affected by it. I was an elementary school teacher for 22 years and I can’t imagine what the teachers and children are going through right now who survived. My heart goes out to the Uvalde community and especially those who lost loved ones.

The card I’m sharing today was made using the True Beauty Bundle (you always save 10% when you purchase a bundle) which includes the True Beauty stamp set and the Organic Beauty Dies. I also used Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Melon Mambo cardstock that I embossed using the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder. Next, I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a scalloped rectangle out of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment onto the rectangle in Garden Green ink using the stamp set, True Beauty. The center flower was cut out of the Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper using the Organic Beauty Dies.
I used the stamp set, True Beauty to stamp the other flowers in Daffodil Delight ink and the leaves in Garden Green ink. I cut them out with the Organic Beauty Dies. I used Mini Glue Dots to attach the leaves to the underside of each flower. I glued the Daffodil Delight flowers to the rectangle but added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the the back of the Melon Mambo flower. To complete the card, I aded three Glossy Dots to the front of the card.
