To create today’s card, I used Pineapple Punch cardstock, one of our five 2018-2020 In Colors. Each year five new colors are introduced and five are retired so Pineapple Punch will be gone in a few months.
I used the Stitched Shapes Dies to create all the squares and to cut out the sentiment. The flowers were cut out using the Small Bloom Punch, a FREE Sale-a-Bration gift with a $100 purchase and available while supplies last. Each flower was attached to the stitched square using a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional and a Gold Faceted Gem was added to the center of each one for some sparkle!
The sentiment is from the stamp set Under My Umbrella and was stamped with Memento ink. To give a little more dimension to the care, it was popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. With the help of the dies and punch, this card came together very quickly!
Bundle Alert: The Under My Umbrella Bundle includes the stamp set Under My Umbrella and the Umbrella Builder Punch. You can purchase these items separately but when you use the special bundle item #153786, you’ll save 10%!

Today’s card features Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper. I used Soft Sea Foam ink and a Sponge Dauber to add color to this very versatile paper. I actually used two FREE Sale-a-Bration gifts to create my card:
With every $50 purchase (before tax and shipping) you can choose either of these papers as your Sale-a-Bration gift. There’s no limit to how many gift you can earn! These products are available until March 31, 2020 or while supplies last!
I used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to cut out both sentiment and the So Very Vellum Designer Series Paper. These dies are currently on the Low Inventory List so if you love them, I’d recommend purchasing them quickly. It’s possible that once they go into backorder status, it will take some time to get them back in stock.
The sentiment is from the stamp set, Seriously the Best, and was heat embossed using Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder. If you haven’t tried embossing, now is the time!
How to Heat Emboss
Rub an Embossing Buddy over the surface of your cardstock (this helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder). Stamp your sentiment or image using a Versamark pad. This is very sticky ink and your embossing powder will stick right to it. Sprinkle embossing powder over the stamped image. Shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Toolfor about 10 seconds to minimize warping of your paper. Direct the heat over your image and watch the magic happen!

To create today’s card I used Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper, a free Sale-a-Bration gift when you place a $50 order (before shipping/tax). You’ll receive (12) 12″ x 12″ sheets of these rose gold and silver foil designs. This paper is only available until March 31, 2020 or while supplies last!
I also used the stamp set, Seriously the Best, and embossed the sentiment with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I love the boldness of the sentiments in this set and when they’re embossed, a beautiful focal point is created.
The beauty of this Designer Series Paper is that you can easily add any Stampin’ Up! color to the white areas. I used Lovely Lipstick ink and applied it with a Sponge Dauber. It’s a good idea to take a tissue or a soft cloth and rub it over the surface of the paper after applying color to pick up any ink that’s sitting on top of the raised foil.

It’s Tutorial Tuesday and I have a quick and easy card for you! I shared this card last week and you can access the tutorial today by clicking the link below the Supply List.
Unfortunately the Happy Birthday Dies, used to create today’s card, have sold out! They were part of a while supplies last promotion and they are now gone. But the good news is that the Happy Birthday to You stamp set, one of our Sale-a-Bration gifts IS still available and the flower image can simply be cut out or stamped directly onto the Whisper White cardstock.
The stamp set I used for the sentiment on my card, Fable Friends, is currently on the Low Inventory List. It’s a great set for Easter so if you’ve been thinking of purchasing it, my recommendation is to grab it while it’s still in stock.

The card I’m sharing with you today was created using Best Dressed 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder. If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find all the measurements below the Supply List.
One of the colors I used in today’s card is Lovely Lipstick, which is one of the 2018-2020 In Colorsand will be retiring very soon! Anything in our retiring colors (paper, ink refills, stamp pads, etc.) always tend to sell out fast once the retiring list is published so if you love Lovely Lipstick, like I do, I’d recommend stocking up now!
The other colors I used are Whisper White and Petal Pink. The sentiment is from the stamp set Bloom & Grow and it was stamped in Memento Ink onto Whisper White cardstock. It was cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies and adhered to a scalloped oval in Lovely Lipstick, cut out with the Layering Ovals Dies. To complete the card, I added three Glitter Enamel Dots in Melon Mambo.

Today’s card features the Stampin’ Up! Happy Birthday to You stamp set, a free gift during Sale-a-Bration with a $50 order and the coordinating Birthday Dies. This stamp set is only available during Sale-a-Bration and only while supplies last!
To get the beautiful texture on my Purple Posy cardstock, I used the Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder and my die-cutting machine. I recommend using Multipurpose Glue to adhere the embossed pieces to the Thick Whisper White card base.
After stamping the flower images using Memento Ink, I colored them with Purple Posy & Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. It was so easy cutting the flowers out with the Birthday Dies! I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered them to a circle of Whisper White cardstock that was cut out using the Layering Circles Dies. The sentiment is from the stamp set, Fable Friends, and was inked up with Memento ink. A scalloped circle was cut out of Granny Apple Green cardstock, again using the Layering Circles Dies, and the Whisper White circle was adhered to this. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back (only on the right hand side) before adhering it to the front of the card.

Today’s card was created using the beautiful So Very Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper is FREE with a $50 order until March 31, 2020 or while supplies last!! Each package contains 6 sheets of 12″ x 12″ paper in Pool Party, Purple Posy and Soft Sea Foam (2 of each color). It’s so pretty!
The base of the card is Purple Posy cardstock as well as the smaller layer which was popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Because vellum is very sheer, I was a bit apprehensive about attaching the vellum to the cardstock but I used Mini Glue Dots, one in each corner, and you can’t even see them!
The Peaceful Moments stamp set was used to stamp the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink onto Whisper White cardstock and cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies. The larger Purple Posy scalloped oval was cut out with the Layering Ovals Dies. The Stitched Shapes Dies coordinate not only with the Layering Ovals Dies but the Layering Circles Dies and Layering Squares Dies.

The base of my card is Thick Whisper White with a layer of So Very Vellum DSP. Because the vellum is see-through, I used glue dots to secure it to the card base. I only put one in each corner of the paper and tried to place it where there was a “bump” in the paper.
To make my Purple Posy and Pool Party banners, I used the Banner Triple Punch (all measurements are below the Supply List). The sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento Ink and the stamp set, Seriously the Best. It was cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and another, larger one, also in Whisper White cardstock, was cut out to adhere the sentiment. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals on both layers. To complete the card, I added three Glitter Enamel Dots which give the card some sparkle!

Today’s card was created using Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper is one of the free gifts you can earn during Sale-a-Bration with a $50 order but it’s only available while supplies last!
Using a Sponge Dauber and Bermuda Bay ink, I applied color to the front of the Designer Series Paper.

With all the colors Stampin’ Up! carries (and cardstock to match), imagine the possibilities!
