I started with a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock for the base of my card. Then I embossed a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock using one of the Glass & Gardens Embossing Folders and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered it to a piece of Basic White cardstock. I cut a piece of Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the Basic White cardstock. Next, I adhered the Basic White cardstock to the front of the card.
I used the Textured Notes Dies to cut a rectangle out of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment on the rectangle using Blackberry Bliss ink and the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I cut two butterflies out of Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper using the dies that come with the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder. I then attached them to the top of the sentiment using Mini Glue Dots.
I added two small Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gem to each butterfly and three more to the card front (these gems are on the Last Chance List and they are sale)!

I’m sharing three cards with you today and one has a new product that will available for purchase on May 6th, Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper #165175. The products I used on all the cards are the Spotlight on Nature Bundle and the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.
For this first one I used Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper (available May 6. 2025) and Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems.
My links still aren’t working correctly. If the link doesn’t bring you to the product, please click again and possibly a third time. I have to call Stampin’ Up! about my links not working correctly. All of the products I’ve used, with the exception of the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper, are current so it shouldn’t say, “Out With the Old, In With the New”. I know it’s a pain to click on the links two or three times.
I started with a piece of Summer Splash cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I dry embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the embossed Basic White cardstock to the the base of my card.
I cut two smaller pieces of Summer Splash cardstock and layered them with Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper (available May 6th). I used Multipurpose Glue to adhere the vertical one and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the horizontal one and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Summer Splash ink using the Spotlight on Nature stamp set. Then, I cut it out using the Spotlight on Nature dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems to the front and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
For these next two cards I used the exact same products but I used the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots and Floral Delight Designer Series Paper.
I used Lemon Lolly cardstock for this first card, Garden Green ink and Lemon Lolly Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots.
I used Pool Party cardstock for this last card, Pool Party ink and Pool Party Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots.

The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the Spotlight on Nature Bundle, Cute Crochet 3D Embossing Folder, and Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems.
I started with a base of Granny Apple Green cardstock. Next, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Cute Crochet 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I adhered it to the front of the card. I also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Spotlight on Nature dies to cut a circle. Then, I stamped the flowers and sentiment onto the circle using Memento Ink and the Spotlight on Nature stamp set. I colored the flowers in using Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends and Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends. When I was through coloring, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered the circle to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems to the front of the card.

by Tracy | Nov 19, 2024 | Christmas Card
Today I’m sharing a card I made using Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper, Greetings of the Season stamp set, Stylish Shapes Dies, Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (currently on the Low Inventory List). I also added some silver embossing powder to my sentiment to make it sparkle!
I started with a piece of Shaded Spruce for the base of my card. Then I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I cut a piece of Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper (I like to cut this paper longer than I actually need and then trim it off; I will add the exact dimensions of the finished piece below the Supply List). I then adhered it to the embossed Basic White cardstock and then adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using a Versamark ink pad, sprinkled my silver embossing powder over it and then heated it with my heat tool. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut it out, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back (I like to use a lot of Dimensionals) and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems in silver, to the front and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy (an anti-static pouch that can be found in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit) over the surface of the paper 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 and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so your paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image becomes shiny and beautiful!
Supply List
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. The Specialty Plate is used with 3D Embossing Folders.
Bundle Alert: The Greetings of the Season Bundle is available with a 10% discount rather than buying the products separately.
Measurements for Today’s Card
- Shaded Spruce cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ score at 4-1/4″
- Basic White cardstock: (2) 5-1/4″ x 4″
- Basic White cardstock (sentiment): approx. 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″

Today I’m sharing several more cards I made using the Changing Leaves Bundle. If you’d like to see the card I shared on Thursday using this bundle, you can see it here. Be sure to scroll down on this page to fin
This first two cards were made using Oxidized Copper Specialty Designer Series Paper and Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems.
I started with a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock for the base of my card. Then I embossed Basic White cardstock using the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder and then adhered it to my card base. Next, I cut the leaf out using Oxidized Copper Specialty Paper with the Hybrid Embossing Folder and the bigger die in the set. I added adhesive to the back and adhered it to the card front.
I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Changing Leaves stamp set. I then cut the sentiment out using the Changing Leaves Dies (these dies come with the Hybrid Embossing Folder), added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added three Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems to the front of the card. These gems are very sparkly in person (I don’t think they show their sparkle in pictures).
This next card uses all of the same products as the first card. But I used Copper Clay cardstock for the base of my card and I used Copper Clay ink to stamp the sentiment. I used another die in the Changing Leaves Bundle to cut my sentiment out.
For this last card, I used Regal Winter Designer Series Paper for the leaf and the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder. I also used Pretty Peacock cardstock for the base of my card and used Pretty Peacock ink to stamp my sentiment.
