by Tracy | Nov 1, 2021 | Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders, Sympathy Card
I wanted to send my condolences to a friend and made this card for her.
I started with a base of Misty Moonlight cardstock and then added a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I used the Inspiring Canopy Dies to make the trees. To make it easier to adhere the trees to the card front, I added one of our Adhesive Sheets to the back before running it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. It was a breeze to place the trees on the card with the adhesive already on the back!
The sentiment was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Inspired Thoughts stamp set and then cut out with the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the card. The little bird was cut out of Misty Moonlight cardstock using the Beautiful Trees Dies (another set of tree dies in the Annual Catalog). I added a small amount of Multipurpose Glue to the back and placed him in the branches. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Today’s free PDF tutorial features Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper, Layering Circles Dies and one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders. I heat embossed the sentiment using the stamp set, Encircled in Warmth. If you’d rather not emboss the sentiment, you could use Smoky Slate ink but the silver embossing really gives this card a wow factor! You can find the tutorial below the Supply List.

by Tracy | Oct 28, 2021 | Designer Series Paper, Fun Fold Card, Rectangle Stitched Dies
Today’s card is another book binding card that I made for a friend who just celebrated her birthday. She loves pink and I think she’ll like this very pinky card!
I started with a piece of Magenta Madness cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) and scored it in two places. Then I folded the card in half and then folded the other piece back. My post the other day shows where to put the adhesive and what the fold looks like. You can see it HERE.
I adhered two pieces of Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper to the two panels on the front and I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card. I wrapped a piece of Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon around the left side of the card and tied a knot.
Using the Stitched Rectangles Dies, I cut a small rectangle for the sentiment. The sentiment was heat embossed onto the rectangle using gold embossing powder (included in the Metallics Embossing Powder set) and the stamp set, Artistically Inked. You can see the directions below for heat embossing. It’s very easy to do and gives your card a wow factor.
I adhered the sentiment to a piece of Magenta Madness cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I didn’t want the pink flower in the middle to be covered up so I placed the sentiment towards the bottom. To complete the card, I added three Wonderful Gems below the sentiment. You might have missed these in the Holiday Catalog. They were in last year’s Mini Catalog and were brought back for this year’s Mini. The clear gems have flecks of gold in them which is just perfect the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper because many of the designs also have gold accents.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing an anti-static pouch over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder (Stampin’ Up! no longer carries this product but it’s a must when embossing). 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 and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so the paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image is transformed!
Bundle Alert (save 10%); The Artistically Inked Bundle includes the stamp set Artistically Inked and the Artistic Dies.

by Tracy | Oct 27, 2021 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders
Today’s card is the same card I shared last week but I changed up the paper and stamp set. This card was mailed to a friend who is back home from a stay in the hospital. I hope it cheers her up! If you’d like to see the card I shared the other day, you can see it here.
I started with a base of Pool Party cardstock and then adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder. This embossing folder cannot be purchased individually but when you purchase it, you’ll also receive 9 dies.
I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a rectangle out of Basic White cardstock and then cut a piece of Pool Party Designer Series Paper (found in the Subtles 6″ x 6″ Collection) and adhered it to the rectangle. I wrapped a piece of Pool Party 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon (this ribbon is so pretty!!!) around the rectangle and tied a knot. Then I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used another die from the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut the small scalloped rectangle out of Basic White. I stamped the sentiment in Pool Party ink using the stamp set, Beauty of Friendship and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before placing it on the front of the card. To complete the card, I added another piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Enjoy your day!
by Tracy | Oct 25, 2021 | Card Sampler, Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Fun Fold Card, Heat Embossing, Layering Circles Dies
I always love when a card opens in a different way and my book binding card today is super easy to make!
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) and scored it in two places. Then I folded the card in half and then folded the other piece back (see the picture below).
I put Tear & Tape on the small section (I like using Tear & Tape but any strong adhesive will work). I then folded the piece over towards the right and this creates the book biding look.
I added Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper to the large front panel and the panel on the left. I used our 1-1/2″ Metallic Mesh Ribbon and tied it around the left side. Since I used a heavy duty adhesive, the ribbon is purely decorative. This mesh ribbon is gorgeous with all the silver running through it .You could even use this to wrap presents!
I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and a larger, scalloped circle out of Silver Foil. On the Basic White cardstock, I embossed the sentiment using the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set, Versamark ink, Silver Embossing Powder and a Heat Tool. Embossing is so easy to do and I really think it makes a card look so elegant. If you’ve never embossed before, I have directions below. I adhered the sentiment to the Silver Foil and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Silver Foil circle and adhered it to the front of the card.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing an anti-static pouch over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder (Stampin’ Up! no longer carries this product but it’s a must when embossing). 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 and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so the paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image is transformed!

Can you believe it’s Friday already??? Today’s FREE tutorial features Ever Eden 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper . This paper will be available beginning November 2, 2021 and is part of an early release collection. This collection will be in the January – June Mini Catalog but Stampin’ Up! is releasing it early! This early release collection includes the Eden’s Garden Cling stamp set, Eden Dies, Ever Eden 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper, Ever Eden 12″ x 12″ Cotton Paper, and Garden Gems.
The following products will only be available while supplies last once they’re released on November 2nd:
-
- Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper
- Ever Eden Cotton Paper
- Garden Gems
Click here for the flyer of the Eden’s Garden collection!
Here’s another version of the card using another design in the Ever Eden Designer Series Paper pack.
One of the products I used on both cards is the Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder. You cannot purchase this embossing folder separately. I was a bit confused when I saw it in the catalog (and online) so I want to clear up any confusion. When you purchase the Bloom Dies (page 157 in the Annual Catalog), you will receive 9 dies and the Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder. That being said, when you search for Bloom Dies on the website, Bloom Dies does not come up in your search but instead you’ll be directed to Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder. So confusing but the bottom line is that you can’t order it separately. Here’s how you can get this embossing folder:
Bloom Dies #155989 – includes dies and embossing folder On the Stampin’ Up! website, it will be listed as Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder but this price includes the folder and dies
Art in Bloom Bundle #158368 – includes photopolymer Art in Bloom stamp set, Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder and 9 Dies.
You can access your free tutorial below the supply list.

Today I’m sharing a card that was recently in my Christmas to Remember Card Sampler. It features Stampin’ Up! Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper, Wonderful Snowflakes, Stitched Rectangle Dies and the stamp set, Christmas to Remember.
I started with a piece of Early Espresso cardstock and added a layer of Basic White cardstock. Then I embossed a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the front of the card. Using the Stitched Rectangles Dies, I cut three pieces of Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper and adhered them to the front of the card.
I used two snowflakes and placed a Stampin’ Dimensional on the back of each one and then placed them on top of the rectangles. Using the Seasonal Labels Dies, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then stamped the sentiment using Evening Evergreen ink and the stamp set Christmas to Remember. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete the card, I added three Elegant Faceted Gems to the front and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Today’s card is a fun fold and it features the Stitched Leaves Dies, Love of Leaves stamp set,Timber 3D Embossing Folder and Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper. This card was one of the cards featured in my recent Love of Leaves Card Sampler.
I started with a piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock and scored it in two places to create the fun fold (you’ll find the measurements below the Supply List). I then adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card. Next, I layered a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock and Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper together and adhered them to the panel on the left front.
Next, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the front/middle section of the card. I used the Hippo & Friends Dies to cut a shape out of a piece of Basic White cardstock and a larger one out of Cajun Craze cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in Cajun Craze ink over to the right of the Basic White shape and then adhered it to the Cajun Craze cardstock. On the back, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the left side only and adhered it to the front of the card. This creates a flap and the left side of the card will tuck under it.
Using the Stitched Leaves Dies, I cut a leaf out of Mossy Meadow cardstock and another out of Cajun Craze cardstock. I adhered the Cajun Craze leaf to the sentiment piece using Multipurpose Glue and then added a Stampin’ Dimensional to the back of the Mossy Meadow leaf and placed it beside the other leaf. I made a bow using the Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon and attached it between the two leaves using a Mini Glue Dot (or you could use a tiny amount of Multipurpose Glue).

by Tracy | Oct 18, 2021 | Designer Series Paper, Embossing Folders
Happy Monday! I hope you had a nice weekend!
Today’s card features Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper, Wintry 3D Embossing Folders and the stamp set, Snowman Season.
I started with a base of Thick Whisper White cardstock and then added a layer of Smoky Slate cardstock that I ran through one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders. The entire piece of cardstock doesn’t fit in the the embossing folder but that’s okay. Just adhere it to your card base with the unembossed part on the left. Next, I added a strip of Peaceful Place 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List) to the front of the card.
Then I stamped the sentiment and snowman from the Snowman Season stamp set onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink. If you don’t want the tree to be black, you can do what I did. I took a small post it note (just the sticky part) and placed it over the tree and then I inked up the stamp set. I then took off the post it and used my Old Olive Stampin’ Write Marker (don’t use Stampin’ Blends) and colored directly onto the stamp with the marker. At this point, you’ll have to huff all over the stamp to reactivate the ink (it feels silly but it works) and then stamp onto your paper.
I colored the snowman’s hat and scarf using the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend and the Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blend for his nose. I used the Light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend under the snowman. Then I adhered the snowman to a piece of Silver Foil Specialty Paper. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. The final touch was to add three white Elegant Faceted Gems to the front of the card.
