This week I’ll be sharing several cards using the Basic Borders Dies. These dies add an interesting element to any card!
Today’s card was also created using Rings of Love Designer Series Paper. This paper can be earned free with a $50 purchase and it’s only available until Wednesday, August 31st! I LOVE this paper and really wish it wasn’t going away.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and then used the Basic Borders Dies to cut the scalloped border. Then I cut a piece of Rings of Love Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the inside of the card. I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink using the the stamp set, Go To Greetings.
Next, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and ran it through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered it to a piece of Night of Navy cardstock and then placed it on the card front. I used the Beautiful Shapes Dies to cut a circle out of Basic White cardstock and then used my Paper Snips to cut a house out of the Rings of Love Designer Series Paper which I then adhered to the Basic White circle. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the circle and adhered it to the card.
To complete my card, I used two pieces of Linen Thread to create a bow and placed a Mini Glue Dot in the center before adhering it to the house. You can find all the measurements I used to create today’s card below the Supply List.

Today’s card was made using one of the FREE Sale-a-Bration gifts you can earn with a $50 purchase – the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder. This folder is available as a Sale-a-Bration gift until August 31, 2022 or while supplies last. This product is in the Annual Catalog so there are two different product numbers. One allows you to earn it FREE and the other is to purchase it.
- Choose it as your free Sale-a-Bration gift with a $50 purchase using the product number 163100
- Purchase it using the product number 154309
To create my card, I started with a piece of Pool Party cardstock for the base of my card and then adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside. Next, I cut another piece of Basic White cardstock and set it aside (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List).
Next, I opened the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder and on the side that is “indented” I brushed Pool Party ink over the entire area using a Blending Brush. Then I placed my Basic White cardstock inside the folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Believe me, this is addicting when you see what you can create!
Before adhering this layer to the card base, I wrapped a piece of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon around the cardstock and tied a knot.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Pool Party ink and the stamp set, Framed Occasions. Then I cut it out using the Beautiful Shapes Dies which coordinate with this stamp set. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card. To complete the card, I added three Iridescent Pearls.

Back to my card! I started with a base of Night of Navy cardstock. Then I cut a piece of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper (DSP) the same size as a piece of Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I ran the Basic White cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Aspen Tree Dies. Then I adhered the Hues of Happiness DSP to the die cut piece by simply adding adhesive all around the edges. Next, I glued this piece to my card front.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock with Night of Navy ink using the stamp set, Inspired Thoughts and then cut it out using the Meadow Dies. I used our Silver Foil to cut two leaves using the Aspen Tree Dies (I love the texture of the leaves). I adhered the larger leaf to the card and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the sentiment and adhered it to the card. Then, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the smaller leaf and placed it so the stem was slightly on the sentiment. To finish the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Today’s card was made using Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper and the Amazing Thanks Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock. Then I cut a piece of Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper (I think this design is so elegant looking in person) and adhered it to a piece of Smoky Slate cardstock (all the measurements I used can be found below the Supply List). These layers were then adhered to a piece of Basic White cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card base.
The Amazing Thanks Dies come with two “thanks” and one is chunkier than the other. I used Smoky Slate cardstock for the chunky one and Basic White for the other one. After I cut them out with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, I layered them together using Multipurpose Glue. Then I put Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back (I had to cut several dimensionals in half) and then adhered it to the card front.
I stamped the sentiment in Smoky Slate ink onto a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Inspired Thoughts. The sentiment I used had more words than I needed, so I covered the words I didn’t want with Post It Tape, inked up the stamp, removed the tape and stamped it onto my cardstock.
I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies (these dies are currently unavailable but more stock should be arriving the week of September 19th). I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it below “thanks”. To complete my card, I added three Elegant Faceted Gems below the sentiment.

The card I’m sharing today was made using the Apple Harvest Bundle which will be available beginning September 1st during the Perfect Partners Promotion! Six new dies will be introduced on September 1st that coordinate with sets in our Annual and Mini Catalogs. The dies can be purchased separately or in a bundle with the coordinating stamp set. BUT, these dies are only available during the month of September and while supplies last!

I started with a piece of Granny Green cardstock for the base of my card. Then I adhered two squares of In Color 2022-2024 Designer Series Paper (in Parakeet Party) to a piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered it to the card front.
I stamped the apples and leaves in Memento Ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set Apple Harvest. The apples were colored using Real Red Stampin’ Blends (Light & Dark) and the leaves were colored with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (Light & Dark). The stems were colored with Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends (Light). I cut them out with the Apple Blossoms Dies #160255 (available on September 1st) and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a scalloped rectangle out of Basic White cardstock. Then, I stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink (using the Apple Harvest stamp set) towards the bottom of the rectangle. I adhered the apples to the rectangle and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside to complete the card.

To create today’s card, I used Stampin’ Up! Kraft Note Cards & Envelopes, Fancy Frames Dies, Framed Occasions stamp set and 2022-2024 In Color 6″ x 6″ Glimmer Paper.
For the base of my card, I used one of our Kraft Note Cards. When folded, these cards are 5″ x 3-1/2″. Twenty card bases and twenty envelopes are included and a coordinating box (you’ll need to assemble the box).
I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock a little bit bigger than the leafy frame from the Fancy Frames Dies and adhered one of our adhesive sheets to the back of the cardstock so it would be sticky and I wouldn’t have to add adhesive after I cut it out. Then I ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
Next, I cut a piece of Glimmer Paper the same size as the frame (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List) and then, very carefully, adhered the frame to it. Then I adhered the glimmery frame to the front of the Kraft Note Card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Tahitian Tide ink and the stamp set, Framed Occasions and cut it out using the Stitched Rectangles Dies. I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the center of the card. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside (optional) and placed an Iridescent Rhinestone at each end of the sentiment.

Today’s card features the Blessings of Home Bundle which includes the Blessings of Home stamp set and the Flowers of Home Dies. I also used the Scalloped Contours Dies and the Fern 3D Embossing Folder.
Edited to Add: When you spend $100 during Sale-a-Bration, you can earn the Flower of Home Dies absolutely FREE. You must use this item number when choosing these dies as your free gift: #163095. If you use the item number in the catalog, it won’t come up FREE. This offer is good until August 31, 2022 or while supplies last. You can see this Sale-a-Bration product HERE.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I ran a piece of Basic White cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card base.
Next, I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a rectangle out of a piece of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive ink at the bottom of the rectangle. This sentiment had more words on it than I wanted so I covered the part I didn’t want with Post It Tape, inked up the stamp, removed the tape and stamped it onto my rectangle. I did this for another card recently and you can see that post here.
On another piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flowers using Memento Ink (this is the ink to use when using Stampin’ Blends). I colored the flowers using these Stampin’ Blends: Melon Mambo (light & dark), Old Olive (light and dark) and Daffodil Delight (light). After coloring it, I cut it out using the Flowers of Home Dies. I thought about popping the flowers up with Dimensionals but decided against it and just used regular adhesive but I did add Dimensionals to the back of the rectangle before adhering it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels around the flowers.

Become a Member of the Stampin’ Up! Family During Sale-a-Bration
Purchasing the Starter Kit is for everyone! If you love to save money on the products you love, the Starter Kit is for you because you’ll receive at least a 20% discount.

You’re never obligated to sell Stampin’ Up! or have parties. You get to do YOU.
I purchased the Starter Kit because I wanted everything in the catalog and the fact that I could get a discount on the products I loved was a big draw. I was purchasing the products anyway and getting a discount on top of it? I was in but I DID NOT want to have parties and sell the products I was purchasing. A few months later, a friend suggested I get a small group of teachers together (I was an elementary teacher for 22 years) and make the cards I had created and the rest is history. You can just get the discount or get the discount and share your love of cardmaking. It’s totally up to you.
If you decide to purchase the Starter Kit, it’s $99 but you’ll choose $125 worth of Stampin’ Up! product. During Sale-a-Bration, Stampin’ Up! will also include the Making Plans Collection which includes a planner, notebooks and stamp set.

Today’s card features the Wonderful World Bundle (a FREE Sale-a-Bration gift with a $100 purchase) which includes the Wonderful World stamp set and Wonderful World 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper.
I used this design on a previous card but changed up the sentiment. You can see it here.
I started with a piece of Starry Sky cardstock for the base of my card. Then I ran a piece of Basic White cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder and then adhered it to my card front.
I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut two squares of Wonderful World Designer Series Paper. Then I layered each to a piece of Starry Sky cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) and adhered them to the front of the card. For the sentiment, I used the Stitched Rectangles to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then stamped the sentiment in Starry Sky ink using the stamp set, Season of Chic. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the top square. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
Unfortunately the Stylish Shapes Dies are currently unavailable. Stampin’ Up! has estimated they will be back in stock the week of September 19th.
I placed the sentiment on the bottom square on the card below.

Today I’m sharing another card using Rings of Love Designer Series Paper. I love this paper and it’s FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration! I shared another card yesterday with a different design from this package of paper and you can see it here.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a layer of Mint Macaron cardstock, Night of Navy cardstock and Rings of Love Designer Series Paper (you can find the measurements I used below the supply list). Next, I used the Amazing Thanks Dies to cut the word “thanks” out of Night of Navy and Basic White cardstock. I used Multipurpose Glue to adhere the two pieces together (another option is to use our Adhesive Sheets). I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back (I cut some in half) and adhered it to the front of the card.
The sentiment I used is from the Happiness Abounds stamp set but I didn’t want the entire sentiment so I covered the part I didn’t want with Post It Tape (or you can use a post it note). Then I inked the stamp with Night of Navy ink, removed the post it tape and stamped onto Basic White cardstock. The trick is to remember to remove the post it tape!!! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten this really important step! 🙂
I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut out the sentiment. The die is larger than the sentiment and has a banner at each end so I positioned one end of the die at the beginning of the sentiment and then trimmed off the other end with my Paper Snips. These are excellent and very sharp scissors! I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added five clear Elegant Faceted Gems to the front.
