To create my card to share with you today, I used the Stampin’ Up! stamp set Thoughtful Blooms and the Small Bloom Punch. These two coordinating products are FREE Sale-a-Bration products you can earn. When you place a $50 order, you can choose the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set and with a $100 order, the Small Bloom Punch. All products in the Sale-a-Bration catalog are while supplies last (two products have already sold out – the Kerchief Card Kit and the Metallic Baker’s Twine & Sequins Combo Pack).
I started by adhering two panels of Parisian Blossoms Designer Series Paper to the Pool Party card base (you can find all the measurements I used below the supply list). I added another panel of Whisper White to the inside of the card.
The sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento Ink and then cut out using the Starburst Punch. I adhered it to a larger piece of Pool Party cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies and a die-cutting machine. On the back, Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the right side and then attached to the card.
I stamped three flowers, two in Highland Heather ink and one in Pool Party and then cut them out with the Small Bloom Punch. I adhered the Highland Heather flowers to the card using Multipurpose Glue but the Pool Party flower has a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional on the back. To complete the card, I added a pearl to the inside of each flower.

I began with a base of Pool Party cardstock and then added a layer of Parisian Blossoms Designer Series Paper. I layered another smaller piece of Pool Party with another design from the package, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
The sentiment was stamped in Memento Ink using the stamp set, Abstract Impressions. It was cut out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and a die-cutting machine. I also added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of this piece before adhering it to the front of the card. To finish the card, I added three Champagne Rhinestones.

I love the sentiment on today’s card from the stamp set, Peaceful Moments. Every time I read it, I’m reminded to stop and smell the roses and appreciate every day.
To create today’s card, I layered a piece of Golden Honey Designer Series Paper (FREE with a $50 order) onto Basic Black cardstock and then adhered it to my Daffodil Delight card base.
The sentiment was stamped in Memento Ink and cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies using a die-cutting machine. Using the Layering Circles Dies, I cut a Daffodil Delight circle and a Basic Black scalloped circle. The sentiment was adhered to the Daffodil Delight circle using Snail adhesive and then Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back before adhering it to the Basic Black scalloped circle. Before attaching it to the front of the card, more Stampin’ Dimensionals were added. To complete the card, I added three rhinestones.

Today’s card was made using Best Dressed Designer Series Paper. Many of the designs I’ve previously shared using this paper have been with the floral side of the paper but as you can see, there’s a variety of different designs!
To create today’s card, I started by running a piece of Purple Posy cardstock through my die-cutting machine using the Subtle embossing folder. Then I added a piece of Best Dressed Designer Series Paper (DSP) to the lower half of the Purple Posy cardstock (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). Before adhering this piece to the Mint Macaron card base, I wrapped our Flax Ribbon around the card so I could cover up where the cardstock and DSP meet. I used Multipurpose Glue to adhere this entire piece to the card base.
The sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using the FREE Sale-a-Bration stamp set, Sending You Thoughts. I cut it out, along with a larger rectangle in Mint Macaron, using my die-cutting machine and the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. After adhering the two pieces together, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
Since I had some extra Designer Series Paper, I glued some to the flap of my envelope. It makes the envelope look so fancy! If you want to give this a try, it’s super simple and the short video below will show you how to do it!

On to today’s card! This is a super easy card to make but the gold embossing on the paper and the sentiment gives it that WOW factor!
I started with a base of Thick Whisper White cardstock and then added a layer of Basic Black cardstock with another layer of Golden Honey Designer Series Paper.
The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto Whisper White cardstock using the stamp set, Seriously the Best. Rubbing an Embossing Buddy over the surface of your paper before embossing will help to repel stray particles of embossing powder. After sprinkling Gold Embossing Powder over the sentiment, I heated it up with my Heat Tool. Then I cut it out with a die-cutting machine and the Layering Ovals Dies. A larger oval was cut out of Basic Black and the two were layered together. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back before adhering it to the card.
You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.

I started with a base of Mint Macaron cardstock and added a layer of Purple Posy cardstock and then another layer of Best Dressed Designer Series Paper. My banner was created using the Banner Triple Punch and then embossed with the Eyelet Lace Embossing Folder. My motto is, why leave a piece of cardstock plain when you can emboss it!?
After the banner was adhered with Multipurpose Glue, I added one of our Pearlized Doilies. The sentiment was stamped in Mint Macaron ink onto Whisper White cardstock. It was adhered to a piece of Purple Posy cardstock and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
To finish the card, I added a strip of Best Dressed Designer Series Paper to the inside.
Enjoy your day!

Once you learn to make a flower using the Dahlia Fold Technique, it’s pretty hard to stop at just one! If you visited yesterday, you know that I shared another card using this technique with our Best Dressed Designer Series Paper. If you’d like to see yesterday’s card, you can check it out here.
To create the flower on my card today, I used See a Silhouette Designer Series Paper. The base of the card is Night of Navy cardstock with a layer of Whisper White cardstock which I ran through my die-cutting machine using the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder (all the supplies I used can be found in the Supply List below).
As I mentioned yesterday, about 1-1/2 years ago, I made a video showing how to create the flower using a 1-3/4″ Circle Punch but since then, the punch has retired. For today’s card, I used a circle in the Layering Circles Dies (the inside of the circle is approximately 1-7/8″) and I used our 2-1/4″ Circle Punch as a base to glue the pieces to. In the video I use a larger circle as I show you how to make the fold so that it’s easier to see what I’m doing and I recommend doing the same thing when you’re practicing BUT don’t use cardstock, use a thinner paper such as computer paper. You’ll get frustrated trying to make the folds if your paper is too heavy. You can view the video HERE and please note that several products in the video have since retired.
The sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy ink onto Whisper White cardstock using the stamp set Butterfly Gala. It was die-cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I hope you’ll give this fold a try! It may look difficult but it really is much easier than it looks!

I love making flowers using the Dahlia Fold technique and whenever new Stampin’ Up! paper is released, I always look to see which ones will work best. Since both sides of the paper can be seen, the two sides need to complement one another other, such as this design from Best Dressed Designer Series Paper.
If you’re looking at this flower and thinking that it’s way too complicated, I’m here to tell you that it really isn’t! You just need to master the fold (which isn’t difficult) and then repeat it seven more times. About 1-1/2 years ago, I made a video showing how to create the fold using a 1-3/4″ Circle Punch but since then, the punch has retired. For today’s card, I used a circle in the Layering Circles Dies (the inside of the circle is approximately 1-7/8″) and I used our 2-1/4″ Circle Punch as a base to glue the pieces to. In the video I use a larger circle as I show you how to make the fold so that it’s easier to see what I’m doing and I recommend doing the same thing when you’re practicing BUT don’t use cardstock, use a thinner paper such as computer paper. You’ll get frustrated trying to make the folds if your paper is too heavy. You can view the video HERE and please note that several products in the video have since retired.
The base of my card is Daffodil Delight cardstock. I added a layer of Whisper White cardstock that was placed inside the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder and run through a die-cutting machine. The sentiment was also stamped on Whisper White using Lovely Lipstick and the stamp set, Happy Birthday to You and die-cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The Happy Birthday to You stamp set is one of the FREE Sale-A-Bration gifts you can choose from with a $50 order (coordinating dies for this stamp set were just released this week and are available while supplies last).
To complete my card, I added one of our Gold Faceted Gems to the center of the flower. These gems have a sticky back but I recommend also adding Multipurpose Glue to the back. I didn’t use the extra glue and the gem came off (I’m still looking for it). On the second try, I added glue and it has stayed in place. Normally the adhesive works fine but all of the flower pieces come together in the middle and it’s quite a bit of bulk.
If you give this technique a try, I’d love to hear from you!

I used the Forever Blossoms Bundleto create today’s card. This bundle includes the Forever Blossoms stamp set and Cherry Blossoms Dies. These two products can be purchased separately but when you purchase the bundle, you’ll save 10%.
I started with a base of Rococo Rose cardstock and then added an embossed layer of Whisper White using the Coastal Weave embossing folder.
The flowers were stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento Ink and then colored with Stampin’ Blends: Rococo Rose (Light and Dark) and Old Olive (Light and Dark). They were cut out using a die-cutting machine and the Cherry Blossoms Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attached them to another piece of Whisper White cardstock that was die-cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The sentiment was stamped in Memento Ink using the stamp set, Little Ladybug (a free host set with a $300 order during Sale-a-Bration). I added more Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of this piece and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used my Dark Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blend to color our regular rhinestones so that they would match the rest of the card!
