The inspiration for today’s card is from the color challenge over at TGIF Challenges (#tgifc250) which is to create a card using the colors Pool Party, Smoky Slate and Melon Mambo.
My daisy was created using Stampin’ Up! 6″ x 6″ Brights Designer Series Paper in Melon Mambo (all of the Brights colors are included in this package) using the Daisy Punchand the Medium Daisy Punch. I used a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional between the two layers of the daisy and placed a Clear Faceted Gem in the middle for some sparkle.
The base of the card is Pool Party with a layer of Smoky Slate that I ran through my die-cutting machine using the Coastal Weave Embossing Folder. On top of that is another layer of Pool Party, popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals (you can find all the measurements below the Supply List).
I used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to cut a stitched rectangle out of Whisper White cardstock and then ran it through the Coastal Weave Embossing Folder. It’s important to cut the rectangle first and then emboss it. If you do it the other way around, you’ll flatten the embossing (I know this from firsthand experience).
The sentiment was stamped in Melon Mambo onto Whisper White cardstock using the stamp set, Daisy Lane and cut out using the Layering Ovals Dies. The Pool Party oval was cut using the Stitched Shapes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Pool Party oval and one in the middle of the daisy and attached both to the front of the card.
All of the supplies I used to create today’s card can be found in the supply list below.
Daisy Lane Bundle Alert: Purchase the Daisy Lane Bundle and you’ll save 10%. It includes the Daisy Lane Stamp Set and the Medium Daisy Punch.

When you place a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration, this is one of the free gifts you can choose!

The sentiment is from the stamp set, Seriously the Best, and was inked up with Memento Ink. It was cut out using the Stitched Shapes Diesand a die-cutting machine. The black scalloped oval was cut out using the Layering Ovals Dies. These two sets of dies get some serious use in my craft room!
What you can’t really see in the picture is that the flowers are gold foil so the card is very shimmery.
The base of the card is Thick Whisper White with a layer of Basic Black on top. Super easy card to make but I’m pretty sure it will bring a smile to anyone’s face. You can find the measurements for today’s card below the supply list!
Edited to add: Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper has been so popular that it’s currently on backorder. It should be back in stock around February 24th. Just a few weeks to wait!

I used the stamp set, Happy Birthday to You, a FREE Sale-a-Bration gift with a $50 order, to create today’s card. The coordinating Birthday Dies, just released on Tuesday, were used to cut the cake and stand. These dies, along with four others, are only available while supplies last so grab them while you can!
The cake image was stamped using a Basic Gray Stampin’ Pad onto Whisper White cardstock. Usually when I’m going to use my Stampin’ Blends, I use Memento ink but I went with gray for a softer look. The blends I used to color the image were: Flirty Flamingo (light and dark), Granny Apple Green (light and dark) and Smoky Slate (light). After cutting the cake with the Birthday Dies, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back.
The base of the card is Flirty Flamingo with a layer of Whisper White that was embossed using the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder. Before adhering this layer to the Flirty Flamingo, I wrapped our Metallic-Edged Ribbon around the cardstock and used Multipurpose Glue to attach it to the card base.
The sentiment was stamped in Smoky Slate onto Whisper White cardstock. I adhered it to a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attached it below the ribbon. Using my Dark Flirty Flamingo Blend, I colored my rhinestones and then placed one in the middle of the three large flowers.

My Tuesday Tutorial is for a project I featured several weeks ago. As we’re getting closer to Valentine’s Day, I thought this project would be a good one to share again. You can access your FREE tutorial below.
Today’s card was created using Stampin’ Up! Best Dressed Designer Series Paper combined with the Stitched So Sweetly Diesand the Layered Leaves embossing folder.Several days ago I made quite a few cards using this Designer Series Paper and had a pile of strips leftover. I knew I couldn’t throw them away and my card today uses one of those scraps. I love when I can use all my leftover pieces!
I embossed the Petal Pink cardstock using my die-cutting machine and the Layered Leaves embossing folder. On the bottom half, I adhered the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper. Before attaching it to the Petal Pink card base, I wrapped Petal Pink 1/4″ Metallic Edge Ribbon around the cardstock and made a bow. Then I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
I used the Peaceful Moments stamp set for the sentiment and stamped it in Mossy Meadow ink. It was cut out with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and mounted onto a large rectangle in Petal Pink. Both pieces have Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back. I added three of our Champagne Rhinestones to complete the card. You can find all the measurements I used below the supply list!

My card today features the stamp set Positive Thoughts and next week, on February 4th, you’ll be able to purchase the coordinating dies (while supplies last). Check back on Tuesday for all the details!
To create my card, I started with a base of Thick Whisper White cardstock. Granny Apple Green cardstock was used for the next layer but before adhering it to the card base, I ran it through my die-cutting machine using the Scripty 3D embossing folder. The Whisper White rectangle was cut using the Nature’s Thoughts Dies (will be released on February 4th). Before adhering the rectangle to the embossed Granny Apple Green layer, I stamped the leaf using Granny Apple Green ink and the stamp set, Positive Thoughts. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attached it to the front of the card.
On a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock, I stamped another leaf, also using Granny Apple Green ink but this time I did a technique called stamping off. After inking up the stamp, I stamped onto my grid paperand then stamped onto the Whisper White. This gives the illusion that two different colors of ink were used!
I also stamped a flower in Highland Heather ink and then cut both the flower and leaf out using the Nature’s Thoughts Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of both pieces and adhered them to the card.
The sentiment, also from the stamp set Positive Thoughts, was stamped in Memento Ink onto Whisper White cardstock. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back before attaching it to the card front. To complete the card, I added three rhinestones below the sentiment.
If you’d like to make today’s card, you’ll find the measurements below the Supply List.

I started with a base of Thick Whisper White cardstock and added a layer of Basic Black. I then added another layer using Golden Honey Designer Series Paper.

It was cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies using a die-cutting machine. I also cut out a Basic Black scalloped oval using the Layering Ovals Dies. It’s hard to see in my photo but to complete my card I added a rhinestone in the middle of five flowers.

A great place to get inspiration is right from the pages of a Stampin’ Up! catalog! As I was looking through the new Mini Catalog, I saw a card (page 21) that started some ideas flowing and this is the card I created!
I used the stamp set, So Sentimental, along with the coordinating Stitched So Sweetly Dies. Purchase these two items using the special bundle item number (153828) and you’ll save 10%!
The base of the card is Petal Pink cardstock with a layer of Whisper White cardstock. The Designer Series Paper is Best Dressed which is 6″ x 6″ paper. Our Stitched So Sweetly Dies were used to cut out the sentiment as well as the stitched rectangle under it. Lovely Lipstick ink was used with the So Sentimental stamp set for the sentiment. I popped both the sentiment and the scalloped rectangle up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find the measurements below.
