Today I’m sharing four cards I created using the Gorgeous Posies Project Kit from the Annual Catalog. Many months ago I shared a card I made from this kit but over the weekend I completed all the cards. The kit makes 16 cards and a beautiful, fully assembled box is included (you’ll need to supply a stamp set, ink and adhesive).
You can purchase the coordinating Gorgeous Posies stamp set but I used several other stamp sets to complete my cards. The nice thing about these kits is that directions are included that show how to finish the cards but you can assemble them however you want. I chose not to use the the purple twine and ribbon (with gold accents) and will save these for a future project.
I used the stamp set Butterfly Gala for the sentiment on these first two cards. I used Blackberry Bliss ink on the first one and Gorgeous Grape on the second one.
The sentiment on this next card was stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink using the stamp set Welcoming Window.
The sentiment on this card was stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink using the stamp set, Love of Leaves.
This last card is one I shared many months ago. I used the coordinating Gorgeous Posiesstamp set for the sentiment and stamped it in Blackberry Bliss ink.
The colors on all the cards are vivid and stunning with lots of gold accents. I didn’t carefully read the catalog description and was very surprised when it arrived and there’s was a box included. I think this kit shows beautifully in the catalog but it’s even prettier in person.

In just four days, Sale-a-Bration will be over! It’s that time of year when you can earn free product with every $50 or $100 order!
One of the first stamp sets I earned free when Sale-a-Bration first started was A Touch of Ink but I didn’t play with until yesterday! Why the heck did I wait so long? It has a butterfly, flowers, a hummingbird and great sentiments. This is a Level 2 Sale-a-Bration gift and it’s only available for four more days with a $100 order.
I don’t remember if I’ve shared this before, but my husband retired at the end of August. He was a pilot for Delta Airlines for 33 years. He had planned to retire in a few years but Delta offered him a chance to retire early and he took them up on it (you’re probably wondering what in the world this has to do with Sale-a-Bration and the stamp set, Touch of Ink, but I’m getting there). Since Mark has been retired we now have two bird feeders and three, yes three, hummingbird feeders in our backyard. We have the cutest birds, hummingbirds and butterflies visiting our yard daily and we have so much fun watching them zoom all over our backyard. Believe me, it’s a full time job refilling the bird and hummingbird feeders! So, when I saw this stamp set, I knew I had to have it!
To create my card, I started with a base of Highland Heather cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder. I then cut a square out of Basic White cardstock using the Layering Squares Dies and stamped the sentiment in Highland Heather ink. I used Memento Ink to stamp the flowers and then colored them in with my Highland Heather and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. I layered this piece onto a larger square cut out of Highland Heather cardstock. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back and it was adhered to the front of the card. I love dimension on my cards and use Stampin’ Dimensional on almost every single card I make.
I stamped the hummingbird onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink and colored it using the Highland Heather and Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends. I cut it out using our Paper Snips, which are very sharp scissors (these are currently on backorder but a large shipment is due in next week). Usually I’m not overly fond of fussy cutting but it really didn’t take much time at all. I added several Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it near the flowers. I added some Wink of Stella to the hummingbird’s head for some extra sparkle!
This really is a fun set to play with and if you place a $100 order, you can choose it as your free gift, but only until this Sunday, February 28, 2021!
Here’s one of the cute hummingbirds in our backyard. Not exactly the Highland Heather – Bermuda Bay combination of my hummingbird but isn’t he cute?

Today’s card features two new products from the Butterfly Brilliance Collection, both available beginning March 2, 2021: Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper and the Brilliant Wings Dies. I can’t share pictures of the actual products until they are released but you can see them in this flyer!
To make my card, I started with a base of Highland Heather cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock & Butterfly Bijou 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. This paper will be available beginning on March 2nd and will only be available while supplies last.
I used the Layering Squares Dies to cut a square out of Highland Heather cardstock and another, smaller one, out of Basic White cardstock.
The sentiment was stamped in Highland Heather ink using the stamp set, Art Gallery. The butterfly was cut out using another pattern of Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper and the Brilliant Wings Dies. These dies will be in the 2021 Annual Catalog (released on May 4th) but they will be available for purchase early, beginning on March 2nd.
I used half of a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional to secure the butterfly to the Basic White Layering Square. To complete the card, I added two pearls down the center of the butterfly. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.

I know that when people hear the word Demonstrator they think it means selling but it really doesn’t. If you want to purchase just for yourself, that’s perfectly fine.

When I want to get a dark impression when using a stamp, such as “Happy” on my card today, I use my Stamparatus. Because it comes with two powerful magnets which allows my paper to stay in place, I can stamp my sentiment several times to get the perfect coverage. If you’d like more information about the Stamparatus and see it in action, you can watch this video by Stampin’ Up!
On March 2, 2021, the Butterfly Brilliance Collection (stamp set, dies, Designer Series Paper & Textured Specialty Paper) will be available for purchase.

Today’s card features my favorite Sale-a-Bration stamp set, Heal Your Heart. This stamp set is absolutely free when you place a $50 order but only until February 28, 2021.
I started with a base of Seaside Spray cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that was embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Then I added another layer of Seaside Spray and the GORGEOUS Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper. I popped that layer up with Stampin’ Dimenisonals.
The sentiment was stamped onto Basic White cardstock using Seaside Spray ink and the stamp set Heal Your Heart. I cut it out using the Layering Circles Dies. The sentiment is layered onto another piece of Seaside Spray cardstock cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies. The Stitched Shapes dies coordinate beautifully with our Layering Circles Dies, Layering Squares Dies and Layering Ovals Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the upper part of the sentiment (just the part that touches the Designer Series Paper). To complete the card, I added three clear Elegant Faceted Gems.

Today’s card features the Dragonfly Garden Bundle which includes the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and the Dragonflies Punch. I also used the Lots of Heartstamp set for my sentiment.
I started with a base of Pool Party cardstock. Then I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder. I wrapped a piece of our beautiful Pool Party Sheer Ribbonaround the cardstock and then adhered the panel to the card base.
I cut a square using the Layering Squares Dies out of Pool Party cardstock and another, smaller one, out of Basic White cardstock. Before layering the two pieces together, I stamped the sentiment using Memento Ink and the stamp set, Lots of Heart, to the Basic White square. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Pool Party square and placed it on the card front.
I stamped the dragonfly on a piece Vellum cardstock using Versamark ink and then sprinkled Silver Embossing Powder over it. I used my Heat Tool to melt the embossing powder and then cut the dragonfly out using the Dragonflies Punch. On the back of the vellum, I colored the dragonfly using my Pool Party Blends. I put a Mini Glue Dot on the top left wing and one on the bottom right wing and adhered it to the Basic White scalloped square.
To complete the card, I added five Artistry Blooms Sequins (they have adhesive on the back) to the front and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card. If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Today’s card is a last minute Valentine’s Day card featuring the Many Hearts Dies and the stamp set, Heartfelt.
I started with a base of Basic White Thick cardstock and then added a layer of Real Red cardstock along with a layer of Basic White cardstock that was embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.
Using the Many Hearts Dies, I cut a heart out of Real Red, another smaller heart out of Vellum cardstock and the flowers (inside the vellum heart) out of Blushing Bride cardstock. To attach the flowers to the Vellum heart, I used our Mini Glue Dots in various places on the back. Then I added Glue Dots to the Vellum where I knew they wouldn’t be seen and adhered it to the red heart. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the red heart and placed it on the front of the card.
The sentiment was stamped onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Heartfelt. I cut it out using the Tasteful Labels Dies. It’s popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals. You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Host Code
Anyone who places an order at my Stampin’ Up! online store, receives a card kit. It will include all the paper and embellishments needed to create a beautiful card. The paper will be cut, scored and embossed for you. You’ll just need to supply your own ink, stamp and adhesive. Use my host code below when placing your online order of $150 or less and I’ll send you an extra card kit! Orders over $150 will automatically receive an extra card kit. The reason you don’t want to use the host code when placing a $150 or more order is that when you reach $150, you hit the sweet spot and begin earning Stampin’ Rewards directly from Stampin’ Up!. When your order is over $150 AND you use a host code, you forfeit your rewards and I don’t want that to happen. So, under $150, use the host code. Over $150, do not use the host code and start earning free product! If you have any questions, please let me know.
Today’s sympathy card features the stamp set, Vine Design. Unfortunately this is a card I’ll be sending to a friend who recently lost her mother. My friend is in her late thirties so it will be a difficult one to send.
The base of my card is Seaside Spray cardstock. I stamped the vines onto another piece of Seaside Spray cardstock using Seaside Spray ink and then cut it out using the Rectangle Stitched Dies. I layered it onto another piece of Seaside Spray cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Before adding these two layers to the card base, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back.
The sentiment was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink onto Seaside Spray cardstock and was cut out using the Ornate Frames Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adhering it to the front of the card. To complete the card, I added three of our Pearls below the sentiment.
