I started with a layer of Pumpkin Pie cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I cut a scalloped rectangle out of Pumpkin Pie cardstock and a smaller one out of Basic White cardstock using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set using Memento Ink onto the Basic White rectangle and then adhered it to the Pumpkin Pie rectangle. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
I stamped the pumpkins onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento ink and the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set and then colored them using these colors of Stampin’ Blends: Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green and Cinnamon Cider. It was super easy to cut them out with the Detailed Pumpkins Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attached it to the Basic White rectangle.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added three Holiday Rhinestones to the front.

Today’s Free Friday Tutorial is for a card I shared several weeks ago before the start of Sale-a-Bration. I created it using a FREE set of dies, the Summer Shadows Dies, that can be earned with a $100 Stampin’ Up! purchase and they coordinate with the stamp set, Shaded Summer in the Annual Catalog (this stamp set was on backorder but it’s now back in stock). Several Sale-a-Bration items are only available while supplies last and the Summer Shadows Dies are one of those products. Get your set while they’re still available!

Today’s card was created using our Blending Brushes and the stamp set, Shaded Summer. This stamp set is currently on backorder but is estimated to be back in stock the week of August 23rd. As of today, it can still be added to your cart and when it’s in stock, Stampin’ Up! will mail it to you (the rest of your order will ship as usual).
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of our regular Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Animal Print Embossing Folder. Next, I stamped the flowers from Shaded Summer using Versamark ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock. I then heat embossed the image using white embossing powder from our Basics Embossing Powders set and our Heat Tool (you can find more detailed instructions for embossing farther down in the post). I also heat embossed the sentiment using the stamp set Artistically Inked.
Next, using one of our Blending Brushes, I blended Flirty Flamingo ink over the cardstock until I had the color I wanted. When I was done, I took a soft tissue and wiped over all the embossed parts to take off any ink that might have been sitting on top. To complete the card, I added five of our new Subtle Shimmer Sequins to the card front using Multipurpose Glue. The sequin at the bottom of the stem was added because some of my embossing powder collected there so I hid it with a sequin.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing an anti-static pouch (Stampin’ Up! no longer carries this product but it’s a must when embossing) over the surface as it 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 Tool first so the paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as it’s transformed!

Mini Catalog & Sale-a-Bration – Beginning August 3rd!
Today’s card features a sneak peek of a Sale-a-Bration free gift you can earn with a $100 order beginning on August 3rd! There are eight different products you will be able to earn with a $50 purchase and two that you can earn with a $100 purchase and there’s no limit to how many products you can earn!
The sneak peek product I used is the Summer Shadows Dies (I can’t share a picture until these dies go live on August 3rd) and they coordinate with our Shaded Summer stamp setin the Annual Catalog. During this round of Sale-a-Bration, some products will only be available while supplies last. The Summer Shadows Dies are one of three products with a limited supply so once they’re available on August 3rd, you’ll want to grab your set as soon as you can.
I started with a base of Highland Heather cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I placed inside the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder and ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (you’ll need to use our Specialty Plate when using our 3D embossing folders). Using the Scalloped Contours Dies I cut a rectangle out of Basic White cardstock and stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink using the Artistically Inked stamp set. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the embossed Basic White cardstock.
On another piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flower image from the Shaded Summer stamp set using Memento Ink. Because I wanted a good solid image, I used my Stamparatus to stamp the image. I die cut the flowers (using the Summer Shadows Dies – available August 3rd) before coloring them because I didn’t want to make a mistake cutting them out after taking the time to color them. Then I colored the image using my Stampin’ Blends: Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the scalloped rectangle.
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.
