Today’s card was created using Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper and the Amazing Thanks Dies. This card may look like it’s hard to make but it really isn’t!
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for my card base. I then used the Amazing Thanks Dies to cut the word thanks out of Early Espresso cardstock (the chunkier thanks) and one out of Basic White cardstock (the “thinner” one). I used Multipurpose Glue to adhere the two pieces together and then added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back (I had to cut some of the dimensionals in half).
Then I cut a piece of Early Espresso cardstock and Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper in half on the diagonal (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). For each piece I placed the top right corner (on the shorter side) and the bottom left corner in the track of my Paper Trimmer and then cut. I then glued the Designer Series Paper to the cardstock and then adhered them to my card front.
Then I adhered the “thanks” between the two pieces. To complete the card, I added three Rhinestones.

Today’s card was made using Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper and the Amazing Thanks Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock. Then I cut a piece of Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper (I think this design is so elegant looking in person) and adhered it to a piece of Smoky Slate cardstock (all the measurements I used can be found below the Supply List). These layers were then adhered to a piece of Basic White cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card base.
The Amazing Thanks Dies come with two “thanks” and one is chunkier than the other. I used Smoky Slate cardstock for the chunky one and Basic White for the other one. After I cut them out with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, I layered them together using Multipurpose Glue. Then I put Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back (I had to cut several dimensionals in half) and then adhered it to the card front.
I stamped the sentiment in Smoky Slate ink onto a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Inspired Thoughts. The sentiment I used had more words than I needed, so I covered the words I didn’t want with Post It Tape, inked up the stamp, removed the tape and stamped it onto my cardstock.
I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies (these dies are currently unavailable but more stock should be arriving the week of September 19th). I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it below “thanks”. To complete my card, I added three Elegant Faceted Gems below the sentiment.

Today I’m sharing another card using Rings of Love Designer Series Paper. I love this paper and it’s FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration! I shared another card yesterday with a different design from this package of paper and you can see it here.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a layer of Mint Macaron cardstock, Night of Navy cardstock and Rings of Love Designer Series Paper (you can find the measurements I used below the supply list). Next, I used the Amazing Thanks Dies to cut the word “thanks” out of Night of Navy and Basic White cardstock. I used Multipurpose Glue to adhere the two pieces together (another option is to use our Adhesive Sheets). I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back (I cut some in half) and adhered it to the front of the card.
The sentiment I used is from the Happiness Abounds stamp set but I didn’t want the entire sentiment so I covered the part I didn’t want with Post It Tape (or you can use a post it note). Then I inked the stamp with Night of Navy ink, removed the post it tape and stamped onto Basic White cardstock. The trick is to remember to remove the post it tape!!! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten this really important step! 🙂
I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut out the sentiment. The die is larger than the sentiment and has a banner at each end so I positioned one end of the die at the beginning of the sentiment and then trimmed off the other end with my Paper Snips. These are excellent and very sharp scissors! I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added five clear Elegant Faceted Gems to the front.

by Tracy | Mar 10, 2022 | Quick & Easy Card
Today I have three quick and easy cards to share with you and all three cards were made using the Amazing Thanks Dies (these dies are compatible with the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine).
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Just Jade cardstock and Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper. Then I used the Amazing Thanks Dies to cut “thanks” out of Just Jade cardstock and Gold Foil. I layered the pieces together using small dots of Multipurpose Glue. I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and needed to cut some in half, which I did with my Paper Snips. I have two pairs of Paper Snips – one for cutting anything sticky, like dimensionals and the other pair for paper. If you need a nice sharp pair of small scissors, you won’t be disappointed with our Paper Snips. I’ve had mine for years and they are still as sharp as they were when I bought them.
To complete my card, I added five Metallic Pearls to the front.
For this next card I used Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper but used Magenta Madness and Basic White cardstock to create the “thanks”. I used Metallic Pearls on this card to match the foil swirls in this beautiful paper.
For this last card I used Pattern Party Designer Series Paper. This paper is a host only product which means you can choose it once your order reaches $150. It is a giant package of paper with 48 sheets. Each host only item has a price associated with it. With a $150 order, you would receive $15.00 in Stampin’ Rewards (you earn 10% in rewards up to $300). The “price” of this paper is $18.00 so with a $150 order, you’d pay the overage of $3.00 for this huge pack of paper.
I used Basic Black as the accent color for this card and used five of our Classic Matte Dots to sprinkle around the Designer Series Paper.
