Quick note: Sometimes I receive an order and the customer chooses No Contact. This means that when I receive notification that an order was placed, Stampin’ Up! does not share the customer’s name with me. I understand and respect this decision but yesterday I received a No Contact order but the customer used my host code for a free card kit. This leads me to believe “No Contact” was selected in error. If you placed an order yesterday AND No Contact was selected in error, please email me (and mention several of the products you ordered) so I can gift you with an extra card kit.
My July Mini Card Sampler is now available but only for a limited time.

Today’s card features Stampin’ Up! 2020–2022 In Color 6″ X 6″ Designer Series Paper and the Painted Labels Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock. Then I ran a piece of Magenta Madness cardstock (all the measurements can be found below the Supply List) through my die-cutting machine using one of the Meadow Moments embossing folders (these embossing folders are smaller in size than our regular folders).
I placed the embossed Magenta Madness cardstock onto my card base first and then added the two pieces of 2020-2022 In Color Designer Series Paper.
I stamped the sentiment using Magenta Madness ink and the stamp set, Forever Fern, onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock I cut out using the Painted Labels Dies.
Below is another version of today’s card. I wasn’t going to share it but the little thing that bothered me about it may not even be noticed by someone else! I didn’t like that there was a bigger gap between the two pieces of Designer Series Paper and I wanted the sentiment to be touching all three pieces of paper. For the sentiment I used the stamp set Tasteful Touches and cut it out using the Tasteful Labels Dies (these two products are offered in the Tasteful Touches Bundle which saves you 10%). I also added our 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots.

Happy Tuesday! Today’s card includes a free tutorial and you’ll find the link to download it below the Supply List.
My card today was created because as I was making other cards using Stampin’ Up! Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper, I had a lot of scraps that were just about the size I’ve used on my card today. This layout was a perfect way to use them!
Here are several more cards using this layout (they are also included in the free PDF).

Today’s card features the very popular, Forever Fern Bundle. This bundle includes the stamp set, Forever Fern, and the Forever Flourishing Dies. Unfortunately the bundle and dies are on backorder but should be back in stock in the next few weeks.
The base of my card is Pool Party cardstock and then I added another layer of Pool Party that I embossed using one of the Greenery Embossing Folders (all the supplies I used are linked below in the Supply List). I used the Forever Fern stamp set, one of our Distinktive stamp sets, which creates very photo-realistic images. I cut them out using the Forever Flourishing Dies and also used these dies to cut some greenery out of Vellum cardstock.
I used the stamp set, Celebrate Sunflowers, to stamp the sentiment in Pool Party ink and it was cut out using the Stitched Rectangles Dies. To finish the card, I added some Artistry Blooms Sequins to add some sparkle.

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!
If you’d like the measurements for today’s card, you can find them below the Supply List.

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.

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!
