by Tracy | Feb 1, 2022 | Brilliant Wings Dies, Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting
Today’s card features Stampin’ Up! Abstract Beauty 4″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (it’s so pretty with lots of gold accents) and the Brilliant Wings Dies.
I started with a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock for the card base. Then I layered two pieces of Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper onto pieces of Just Jade cardstock and adhered them to the card base (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Just Jade ink and the stamp set, Biggest Wish. I layered it onto another piece of Just Jade cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used the Brilliant Wings Dies to cut a butterfly out of a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock. In the picture above of the dies, the darker image is one die. The rest of the dies are individual dies. I added a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional to the center of the butterfly and placed it on the card.
I added three Metallic Pearls (gold and silver pearls are included in each package) down the center of the butterfly and then added two Brushed Brass Butterflies to the sentiment piece. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

by Tracy | Jan 28, 2022 | Dahlia Days Bundle, Die-Cutting
The card I have to share with you today features the Dahlia Days Bundle which includes the Dahlia Days stamp set and the Detailed Dahlia Dies (you save 10% when you purchase a bundle). This card may look like it’s difficult to make, but it really isn’t!
I started with a base of Just Jade cardstock. Then I used my Stitched Rectangles Dies to make a frame out of Abstract Beauty 4″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. I placed two of the dies on my Designer Series Paper and then ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I used the #1 & #3 dies (see photo below).
Next, I used the largest die in the Detailed Dahlia Dies and cut a piece of Basic White cardstock (see the measurements I used below the Supply List). I used the Take Your Pick Die Brush to get all the small pieces in this detailed die released (this brush twists into the Take Your Pick tool). You place your die cut piece on one of the pieces of foam that it comes with and then brush over the detailed die piece. I place the foam in a box so that all the pieces stay inside the box and not all over my work area.
I added Multipurpose Glue to the back of the Abstract Beauty frame (be careful not to add too much glue or you’ll see some warping) and then placed the Basic White Detailed Die piece on top of it. It doesn’t fit perfectly but it’s enough to adhere it. I trimmed all the pieces that were hanging off the edge. To adhere the frame to the card base, I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals around the perimeter of the frame but you could use small amounts of Multipurpose Glue or Mini Glue Dots. I found that the inside of the frame wasn’t laying flat but once I added the flowers and sentiment, I really didn’t notice.
I stamped the flowers in Balmy Blue ink and the leaves in Just Jade ink using the stamp set, Dahlia Days and then cut them out with the Detailed Dahlia Dies. I used Mini Glue Dots to adhere the leaves to the flowers and a Stampin’ Dimensional between the two flowers, then added Stampin’ Dimensinals all over the back and adhered it to the front. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink and cut it out using the Seasonal Labels Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added two Classic Matte Dots in white to the middle of each flower.
Supply List
Below you’ll find all the Stampin’ Up! supplies I used for today’s card. If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your demonstrator! You can place an order by clicking any of the images below to go to my Stampin’ Up! online store.

by Tracy | Jan 26, 2022 | Card Sampler, Designer Series Paper, Embossing Folders, Quick & Easy Card
Today I have a very quick and easy card using New Horizons Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, On the Horizon.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder. Then I cut a piece of New Horizons Designer Series Paper (you can find the measurements I used below). I stamped the sentiment and the birds in Memento Ink using the stamp set, On the Horizon, directly onto the Designer Series Paper.
I adhered the Designer Series Paper to a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adhering it to the front of the card! Quick and easy, right?!!

by Tracy | Jan 24, 2022 | Card Sampler, Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Sale-a-Bration
Today I have three fun fold cards to share with you. They were all made using the same design and they feature two Sale-a-Bration gifts you can choose from with a $50 or $100 order. There’s no limit to how many free items you can earn during Sale-a-Bration!
I started out with a piece of Pool Party cardstock for the base of the card. I folded it in half on the score line and then folded on the other score line towards the middle fold to create the fun fold (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List).
I embossed a piece of Pool Party cardstock using the Gingham Embossing Folder and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I layered it with a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock. I added adhesive to one side only and adhered it to the front flap. I cut a piece of Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper and adhered it to a another piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock and then placed it on the front of the card. Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper is FREE with a $50 order (before tax/shipping) during Sale-a-Bration!
I stamped the sentiment using the stamp set, Special Moments in Misty Moonlight ink. Special Moments is also a Sale-a-Bration gift and you can earn it with a $100 order (l love when a stamp set is filled with sentiments!).
I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut out the sentiment and then cut a larger rectangle out of Misty Moonlight cardstock. I layered the two pieces together and then added Stampin’ Dimensional to the back (only the part that would be touching the Designer Series Paper) and then added it to the front of the card. I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside to finish the card.
This second card was made with Flirty Flamingo and Pool Party cardstock. I used Flirty Flamingo ink for the sentiment.
This next card was made with Misty Moonlight and Magenta Madness cardstock. I used Misty Moonlight ink for the sentiment. If you wanted a little bit of a softer look, Melon Mambo would also work in place of the Magenta Madness cardstock.
I hope you’ll give this fun fold a try!

Today’s card was made with the Friendly Hello Bundle, a Sale-a-Bration product you can earn FREE with a $100 order. It includes the Friendly Hello stamp set and Friendly Hello 12″ x 12′ Designer Series Paper.
I started with a base of Fresh Freesia cardstock and then added a layer of Basic cardstock and three pieces of Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). I then cut a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
I stamped the bird and sentiment onto the stitched rectangle using Memento ink and then colored the bird and flowers with Stampin’ Blends. The bird was colored with both the Light & Dark Pool Party Stampin’ Blends and the flowers with Fresh Freesia Light & Dark Stampin’ Blends. I used Light Crumb Cake to color the branch. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back and I adhered it to the front of the card. I also adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
To complete my card, I used my Light Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend to color three clear Polished Dots and then placed them on the card front.

by Tracy | Jan 19, 2022 | Designer Series Paper, Embossing Folders, Punches
Today’s card features the Hello Ladybug Bundle which includes the Hello Ladybug stamp set and the Ladybug Builder Punch (you save 10% when you purchase a bundle but the products can also be purchased separately). I also used Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper (a free Sale-a-Bration product), Seasonal Labels Dies and the Checks & Dots Embossing Folders.
I started with a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock. Then, I layered a piece of Basic White cardstock with a piece of Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper. Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper is one of the FREE Sale-a-Bration gifts you can choose when you place a $50 order! To learn more about Sale-a-Bration and all the free products you can earn, click here!
Before adhering the cardstock and Designer Series Paper to the card front, I wrapped a piece of Black & White Gingham ribbon around the left side, tied a knot and then placed it on the card base.
I used the Seasonal Labels Dies to cut a shape out of Basic White cardstock and then placed it in one of the Checks & Dots Embossing Folders. Normally I’d add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adhering it to the front of the card but I used Multipurpose Glue instead. I have a little bit of Creator’s Remorse (my made-up phrase) and wish I had used Dimensionals. I really, really like the look I achieve when I use Dimensionals and it looks a bit flat to me but oh well. The cuteness of the ladybug makes up for it.
I used Memento ink and the Stamparatus to stamp the ladybug’s body and it worked GREAT! I got a really good solid impression. Then I stamped the wings onto another piece of Basic White cardstock using Real Red ink. I stamped the dots in Memento ink. Then I used the Ladybug Builder Punch to cut it out.
I used the Bough Punch to cut two leaves out of Granny Apple Green cardstock and then placed them inside the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder to give them a little bit of texture. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the ladybug and placed the ends of the leaves on the dimensionals and attached it all to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock in Memento Ink using the stamp set Hello Ladybug and then cut it out with my Paper Snips. When I stamp small sentiments like this, I stamp at the bottom of the paper so that I have one straight edge and then trim the rest. I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the card. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

by Tracy | Jan 18, 2022 | Designer Series Paper
Today’s card features the beautiful New Horizons Designer Series Paper, the Amazing Thanks Dies and the stamp set, On the Horizon.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added two pieces of New Horizons Designer Series Paper. Then I layered another piece of New Horizons Designer Series Paper onto a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of this layer before adhering it to the card front.
Using the Amazing Thanks Dies, I cut the larger thanks out of Basic White cardstock and the other out of Blackberry Bliss cardstock. I added small dots of glue to the back of the Blackberry Bliss “thanks” to adhere the two pieces together, then added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Basic White “thanks” and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment ” Thanks for everything” onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Blackberry Bliss ink and the stamp set On the Horizon. Since I only needed the words “for everything” I could have masked out “thanks” by covering it up and then stamping, which I tried doing but it was so much easier to stamp the entire phrase and then cut off the thanks. I used my Paper Snips to trim the sentiment, added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the card.
Next, I used my Light Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blend and colored five clear Polished Dots and then added them to the front of the card. Isn’t it fun to be able to color these dots in whatever color matches your card? Yes!!
You can find the measurements I used to create today’s card below the Supply List.
