by Tracy | Aug 19, 2025 | Halloween Card, Stampin' Blends
The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the Spooky Halloween Bundle, Spooky Sweet Specialty Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and Shimmer Star Foam Stickers. I also used Stampin’ Blends to color in the cute dog!


I started with Basic Black cardstock for the base of my card. I layered a piece of Spooky Sweet Specialty Designer Series Paper onto a piece of Petunia Pop cardstock and then adhered it to the card front.


I stamped the dog onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento ink and the Spooky Halloween stamp set. I colored the dog using these Stampin’ Blends: Light & Dark Crumb Cake, Light Petunia Pop and Light Granny Apple Green. I cut the dog out using the Spooky Halloween Dies. Then, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the dog.
I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a circle out of Basic Black cardstock (2nd largest circle die). I added the dog to the front of the circle.


I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Spooky Halloween stamp set in Fresh Freesia ink. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Then, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
To finish my card, I added two Shimmer Star Foam Stickers to each end of the sentiment and I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

The card I’m sharing with you today was made using Floral Charm Designer Series Paper (this is an Online Exclusive and on sale in the month of August), The Right Words Stamp Set, Stylish Shapes Dies, Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and Charming Shimmer Faceted Gems (an Online Exclusive).


I started with Berry Burst cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of my card.


I layered a piece of Floral Charm Designer Series Paper onto a piece of Berry Burst cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then, I adhered this piece to the front of the card.
I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut another piece of Berry Burst cardstock (the largest square) and layered it with another piece of Floral Charm Designer Series Paper. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut the square ( second largest square) and adhered them together. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.



I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using The Right Words Stamp Set in Berry Burst ink. I cut it out using the 3rd smallest circle in the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals only at the top of the sentiment and adhered it the square.
To complete my card, I added three Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots to the front of the card, and also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

The card I’m sharing with you today is a fun fold card. It’s the same layout of Monday’s card, but I made one tweak. You can see Monday’s card, here. I used Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper (an Online Exclusive and on sale for the month of August), Perfectly Pears Stamp Set (an Online Exclusive), Nested Essentials Dies, Low Profile Sparkle Dots (an Online Exclusive and on sale for the month of August but they are in Low Inventory status).


I started with a base of Darling Duckling cardstock (on sale this month). Then, I scored it (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). I added a piece of Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper to the back panel and one to the front panel.


I cut a piece of Old Olive cardstock and added a panel of Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper to the front (you’ll need to look at the picture to see how it goes on the card). I also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the Old Olive panel.
I then used Multipurpose Glue to adhered the Old Olive piece to the inside of the card (the front flap will go in the front).


I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Perfectly Pears Stamp Set in Old Olive ink. I cut it out using the Nested Essentials Dies using the smallest rectangular die in the set. I cut the next larger size rectangle in Old Olive cardstock and adhered the sentiment to the front. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the bottom right of the Old Olive flap. I did the sentiment there because I didn’t want to cover up the beautiful paper. To complete my card I added three Low Profile Sparkle Dots in Mossy Meadow to the front panel.

The fun fold card I’m sharing with you today was made using the Right Words Stamp Set, Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper, Nested Essentials Dies and the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. Purple is my favorite color so you can imagine I love Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper!


I started off with a Crumb Cake cardstock base (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I embossed another piece of Crumb Cake cardstock using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered it to the back panel.


I cut a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock and scored it in the middle. I cut two pieces of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper and adhered one to the outside panel and another one to the front of Pretty Peacock cardstock (when you have the Pretty Peacock cardstock laid out, it will go on the left side). I then adhered the Pretty Peacock cardstock to the inside of the card making sure the flap is on the outside of the card.


I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using The Right Words stamp set in Gorgeous Grape ink. I cut it out using the smallest rectangle in the Nested Essentials Dies. I used the next larger one to cut a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the front of the Pretty Peacock rectangle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front flap.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Be sure to look farther down in the post for two sales that begin on Tuesday, August 5th!
The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the same layout as Friday’s card. You can see Friday’s card here. But I did make one tweak to the embossed Basic White squares (I made them a bit larger). I used the Sunshine Vibes stamp set, Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper (an Online Exclusive), Stylish Shapes Dies and the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder.

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock (an Online Exclusive) for the base of my card.


I cut a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock and set it aside. I cut two pieces of Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper and two pieces of Basic White cardstock (if you didn’t notice at the top of the post, I changed the measurements for the Basic White cardstock from Friday’s card). I embossed the Basic White cardstock using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the four pieces to the front of the Fresh Freesia cardstock.


Next, I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Sunshine Vibes stamp set in Fresh Freesia ink. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies using the third largest circle die. Then, I cut a Fresh Freesia circle using the second largest circle die. I adhered the sentiment to the front of the Fresh Freesia circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.

Now on to my card! I used the Pattern of Friendship Stamp Set (an Online Exclusive), Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder to create my card today.


I started with a piece of Thick Basic cardstock for the base of my card (this cardstock can be found in the Online Exclusives part of the Stampin’ Up! store). I cut a piece of Peach Pie cardstock and set it aside.


I cut two pieces of Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper (DSP) and two pieces of Basic White cardstock (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). I embossed the two pieces of Basic White cardstock using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I arranged the DSP and Basic White cardstock on the Peach Pie cardstock. After I finished that, I adhered the Peach Pie cardstock to the front of the card.


I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Pattern of Friendship stamp set in Summer Splash ink. I cut it out using the third largest circle in the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a bigger circle out of Summer Splash cardstock using the second largest circle in the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the front of the Summer Splash circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.

The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the same layout as Monday’s card. I used many of the same products that I used on Monday’s card, the only difference is I used Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper. I also used the Pattern of Friendship Stamp Set, Sentimental Framing Dies, Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, and Rhinestone Basic Jewels.


I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock (an Online Exclusive) and then, embossed a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of the card.


I layered a piece of Blackberry Bliss with Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper and then adhered it to the front of the card.



I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Pattern of Friendship stamp set in Blackberry Bliss ink. Then, cut it out using the Sentimental Framing Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back (being careful not to place the Dimensionals on either end of the sentiment). I then, adhered the sentiment to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added three rhinestones in the center of the “flowers.”
