Today’s card features the Nothing’s Better Than bundle. How can you go wrong with a stamp set and dies that feature not only chocolate but cookies and cocktails too??!! Yes, please!
I started with a base of Crumb Cake cardstock and added a layer of our 2020-2022 In Color Designer Series Paper in Cider Cinnamon. I cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (this is the largest die in the set) and popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Before cutting the words “Love You More Than Cookies” in Cinnamon Cider cardstock using the Love You More Than Dies, I adhered the cardstock to our brand new Adhesive Sheets. I love these sheets!!! I tend to shy away from intricate designs that require being super careful when applying glue but these sheets make it so easy. Peel the sheet from the cardstock and your glue is applied! Easy and mess-free!
In the stamp set, Nothing’s Better Than, there are two stamps to create the cookies but I used just one. I used the stamp with the outline of the cookie and chocolate chips and stamped it in Early Espresso and then used my Light Cinnamon Cider Stampin’ Blend to color them in. They were cut out using the Love You More Than dies. The center cookie was adhered to the card using Multipurpose Glue but the outside ones have a Stampin’ Dimensional on the back. Hmmm, suddenly I’m in the mood to bake some cookies!

Today’s card features the stamp set, Happiest of Birthdays, the Banner Triple Punch and Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper.
The base of the card is Mint Macaron cardstock and I combined it with our Gold Foil which always makes a card look fancy, don’t you think? The top layer of Mint Macaron cardstock was embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and a die-cutting machine. The banners were made using Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper & Gold Foil and the ends were cut using the Banner Triple Punch
The sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using Mint Macaron ink and the stamp set, Happiest of Birthdays. I cut it out using the Layering Ovals Dies. The scalloped foil oval was also cut out with these dies. The scalloped oval has Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back to give the card some dimension.
If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find all the measurements below the Supply List.

Today’s card features the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder and the Banner Triple Punch.
I used Just Jade cardstock for the base of my card. The next layer is a piece of Whisper White cardstock that was embossed using the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder. I love the look a piece of embossed paper gives a card!
The banners were made using Flowers For Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the Banner Triple Punch (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). This punch allows you to make banners in three widths–1″, 1-1/2″, and 2″ in any length! There are three grooves that allow your paper to slide in. One of my banners is 1-3/4″ wide so I didn’t use a groove but simply centered the paper so my notch would be in the correct spot.
The sentiment is from the stamp set, Gorgeous Posies and was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using Misty Moonlight ink. The Layering Circles Dies were used to cut it out and to make the scalloped Misty Moonlight scallop circle it’s layered with. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back before it was adhered to the card. To complete the card, I added three Holiday Rhinestones.
This is a quick and easy card to make! I hope you’ll give it a try!

Yesterday I shared two cards using Flowers For Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Gorgeous Posies. Today I have four more cards using the same layout and supplies. If you missed yesterday’s post, you can see it here.
All four cards have a Thick Whisper White card base. This first card has a Bumblebee cardstock layer for the Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is stamped in Night of Navy ink. Both the Designer Series Paper layer and the sentiment have Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back.
This next card has a Magenta Madness cardstock layer and the sentiment is stamped in Just Jade ink.
This third card has a Bumblebee cardstock layer and the sentiment is stamped in Bumblebee ink.
This last card has a Magenta Madness cardstock layer and the sentiment is stamped in Just Jade ink.
All four cards can very easily be mass produced in no time. Make a stack so when you need a card, you can just grab one! You’ll find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Today’s cards were made using Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Gorgeous Posies. Both cards are very quick and easy to create!
Both cards have a Thick Whisper White card base and this first card has a layer of Magenta Madness cardstock (you can find all the measurements below the Supply List). Next is the Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper. This is 6″ x 6″ paper and includes 4 each of 12 double-sided designs! So many choices!
Using the stamp set, Gorgeous Posies, the sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using a Just Jade stamp pad.
This next card also has a Thick Whisper White card base with a layer of Poppy Parade cardstock and the sentiment was stamped in Poppy Parade ink. Both the Designer Series Paper/cardstock layer and the sentiment have Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back. Stampin’ Dimensionals are a staple in my craft room!
As I mentioned, I used the stamp set, Gorgeous Posies, and this set coordinates with the Gorgeous Posies Project Kit. I shared this beautiful kit several weeks ago (it comes with a gorgeous box). If you missed that post, you can see it here (the Card Sampler I mention at the beginning of the post is no longer available).
Tomorrow I’ll share several more cards using this same layout and more of the patterns in Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper.
Enjoy your day!

Today’s card features Meadow Moments Embossing Folders, the Banner Triple Punch and Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper. The base of my card is Misty Moonlight, one of our new In Colors. The Purple Posy cardstock was embossed using one of the Meadow Moments Embossing Folders (two smaller sized embossing folders are included in this set).
The banner was made using Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper and the ends were cut using the Banner Triple Punch. With this punch you can make a banner in three different widths: 1″, 1-1/2″, and 2″.
The sentiment was stamped using Misty Moonlight ink onto Whisper White paper using the stamp set, So Sentimental and was cut out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back for a little bit of dimension.
To complete the card, I added three of our Elegant Faceted Gems. I think these are my favorite embellishments in the catalog.
