Today I have several cards to share with you, all using the same layout. I used Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Go To Greetings.
I used Calypso Coral cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock, placed it in one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine before adhering it to the card base. Then, I cut two more pieces of Calypso Coral cardstock and layered them with Designer Series Paper. I adhered one to the card base but added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the other and then adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Calypso Coral ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Go To Greetings. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the center of the card.
To complete my card, I added three Iridescent Rhinestone Basic jewels to the front. I also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
Below are two more versions of the card. In this first card, I used Parakeet Party and Fresh Freesia cardstock, Parakeet Party ink, Fern 3D Embossing Folder and Elegant Faceted Gems.
For this next card, I used Calypso Coral ink and cardstock, Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder and Elegant Faceted Gems.

Before sharing my card with you today, I want to announce the winner of my Blog Candy Giveaway! I read every single entry and immensely enjoyed reading how each of you go through a brand new catalog. I like to go from cover to cover very slowly, taking it all in. Then I go through it again and start writing down in my notebook what I’d like to purchase. Thanks so much to those of you who left a comment. I wish you could all win but I picked one name and you can find it below!
The winner of the Calming Camellia stamp set is :

Today’s Card
Today’s card is a fun fold that features the Simply Fabulous stamp set, Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and the Brilliant Wings Dies.
I started with a piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock for the base of my card. Then I used a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock, scored it in two places and adhered it to the base of the card, making sure that the larger flap was at the bottom so that the top flap could fold over the bottom one. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List,
I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card. Then, I cut a piece of Country Gingham Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the bottom panel. I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock, placed it inside one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered this piece to the top panel. The Basics 3D Embossing Folders are currently on the Low Inventory List so if you’ve been thinking about purchasing them, I recommend getting them now.
I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a square out of Basic White cardstock, Then, I placed it in my Stamparatus and stamped the sentiment in Orchid Oasis ink using the stamp set, Simply Fabulous. The Stamparatus is great for getting a dark, crisp image because the powerful magnets hold the paper in place and you can stamp over and over again until you’re happy with results.
I adhered the sentiment to a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock and then on the back, I added two rows of Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhered the piece to the top panel.
I used the Brilliant Wings Dies to cut a butterfly out of Orchid Oasis cardstock. I cut a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional in half and placed the two pieces down the middle of the butterfly and adhered it to the sentiment piece. To finish my card, I added an Iridescent Pearl to the butterfly.

by Tracy | Mar 9, 2023 | Stampin' Blends
Today’s card was created using the Elephant Parade Bundle which includes the Elephant Parade stamp set and the Elephant Dies. I also used the stamp set, By My Side, Country Gingham Designer Series Paper and one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I layered a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock with a piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered the layer to the base of the card. I cut a piece of Country Gingham Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the front of the card.
I cut a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock and placed it in inside one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and ran it through the Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered this piece to the front of the card.
Next, I layered a piece of Gray Granite cardstock with a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the same embossing folder that I used for the Mint Macaron. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock and then colored the elephant using these Stampin’ Blends:
- Gray Granite (Light and Dark)
- Petal Pink (Light)
I cut the elephant out using the Elephant Dies and then set it aside. I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, By My Side, and Mint Macaron ink and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. The die I used was longer than I would need so when I cut it out, I made sure the sentiment was over to the right. I glued the sentiment to the elephant and then added adhesive to the back of the elephant and sentiment (except for the part that hangs over the Gray Granite layer) and adhered the elephant to the front of the card.
To complete my card I added five 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds to the front of the card. These gems are in Soft Succulent but I think they match really well with the Mint Macaron Designer Series Paper.
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.

- Thick Basic White cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ score at 4-1/4″

Request a Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog
It’s almost time for the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog! This year I’m implementing something new. I’m requesting that my customers fill out a form to have a new catalog sent to their home. I’m always happy to send complimentary copies of our catalogs to my customers but due to the rising cost of postage, I’m asking that you request one (it will still be complimentary). Normally I’d send a new catalog to anyone who has ordered from me in the past six months but I know that many of my customers shop with several different demonstrators and again due to the rising costs of mailing, I’d rather have you request a catalog so that you don’t have several catalogs from several different demonstrators. Thanks so much for your understanding!!
If you are a customer of mine and would like to have the Annual Catalog mailed to you and you’ve ordered from me in the last six months, please click HERE.

Today’s card was made using the same layout as yesterday’s card (you can see that card HERE – you’ll need to scroll down to see the card). I used Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper, one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch.
I used a piece of Soft Sea Foam cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a two pieces of Basic White cardstock. I adhered one to the inside of the card and the other was placed inside one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and it was run through the Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I adhered it to the card front.
I cut a small strip of Soft Sea Foam cardstock (all the measurements are below the Supply List) and placed it inside the same embossing folder that I used for the first layer and ran it through the Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I adhered it to the center of the card.
I cut a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock and layered it with a piece of Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper and then adhered it to the card front, at an angle. I cut another piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock and layered it with another piece of Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper, added adhesive to the back and placed it on the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock in Evening Evergreen ink using the stamp set, Irresistible Blooms, and then cut it out using the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added three small rhinestones below the sentiment and two, larger ones towards the top of the card.

I have two cards to share with you today but first, today’s the last day to place a $35 or $50 order using the host code MCHHAXEE to receive my Perfectly Penciled Card Sampler. I used our Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper to create the cards.

Here’s What You’ll Receive:
- All the paper and embellishments needed to make three or six cards. If your order is $50 or more, you’ll receive two each of three different cards. The paper will be cut, scored, and die cut for you! Envelopes will also be provided. You’ll need to supply your own adhesive, ink and stamp set.

You’ll quickly have beautiful cards ready to be mailed out to someone special. Once you’ve made all the cards in the Sampler, you’ll be able to easily replicate each card by following the easy to follow directions in the PDF (pictures are included as well).
The special Perfectly Penciled Card Sampler HOST CODE will close at the end of today, March 7, 2023 and after today, the Card Sampler will no longer be available.
Approximate ship date of the Card Sampler is March 17, 2023.
Supplies Needed To Create the Card Sampler
Listed below are the supplies you’ll need to complete the cards exactly as shown (or you can use what you already own). Simply click any of the products and you’ll be taken to my Stampin’ Up! online store. When placing your order, don’t forget to use the special Card Sampler Host Code (please do not use host code if your order is over $150 – see above).
Today’s cards were created using Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper, the Irresistible Blooms stamp set, one of the new Basics 3D Embossing Folders and was colored with Stampin’ Blends.
I started with a piece of Basic Black cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I cut two pieces of Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) and adhered one to the inside of the card. I placed the other piece inside one of the new Basics 3D Embossing Folders and ran it through my Cut & Emboss Machine and then adhered it to the front of the card.
I cut a small strip of Basic Black cardstock and ran it through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the same embossing folder that I used for the Basic White cardstock. I then adhered it to the front of the card.
I cut two pieces of Basic Black cardstock and two pieces of Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper. I adhered the longer piece of Designer Series Paper to the Basic Black cardstock and then adhered it to the card base, at a slant. Before adhering the other piece to the Basic Black cardstock, I colored it using my Sweet Sorbet and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends.
Quick Tip: When cutting the 3″ x 2-3/4″ piece of Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper, you’ll want the 2-3/4″ (shorter side) at the top and bottom. I’m telling you because when I first made the card, I did it the opposite way and had to start over.
Another Quick Tip: When using Stampin’ Blends, always color with a piece of scratch paper underneath. The ink will bleed through and this will protect the surface of your table or desk. I like to use our Grid Paper and fold it in half for extra protection.
After coloring the flowers, I adhered the Designer Series Paper to the Basic Black cardstock and then adhered it to the front of the card. I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento ink and the stamp set, Irresistible Blooms. I then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I love the stitching on these dies! I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I made several of these cards and where I placed the sentiment was dependent on whether I didn’t like my coloring in one spot!! To complete my card, I added three Iridescent Pearls to the black strip.
Here’s another version of the card using another design in the package of Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper. I used all the same products as the first card.
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.

Normally I’d send a new catalog to anyone who has ordered from me in the past six months but I know that many of my customers shop with several different demonstrators and again due to the rising costs of mailing, I’d rather have you request a catalog so that you don’t have several catalogs from several different demonstrators. Thanks so much for your understanding!!
If you are a customer of mine and would like to have the Annual Catalog mailed to you and you’ve ordered from me in the last six months, please click HERE.
Last week many new products went live. These products will not be in a catalog but can be ordered online. When they aren’t in a catalog, it’s hard to know what’s available so I created a two page flyer with all the NEW products that were released last week. You’ll find all the item numbers, an image of the products and prices. You can access the flyer here or click the image below. For more information about each product, click on the images on the flyer.
Milky Dots Thank You Gift
If my Card Sampler doesn’t appeal to you, you can use the host code 2S2PJQRC to receive a package of Milky Dots with your $50 or more online order. Milky Dots have been discontinued and are no longer available but I purchased several packages when they went on the Low Inventory List and I have a few packages left.
Thank you for stopping by today!
