by Tracy | Feb 24, 2025 | Thank You Card
The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the Happy Hibiscus Bundle, Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper (FREE when you place a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration), and 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems.
I started with a piece of Petunia Pop cardstock for the base of my card (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then I embossed two pieces of Basic White cardstock using the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder and then adhered the smaller one to the top of the card and the larger one to the inside of the card.
I added Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper to the front of the Petunia Pop cardstock (that you saved from the card base). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the top of the Petunia Pop/DSP piece and adhered it to the front flap.
I cut another piece of Petunia Pop cardstock and adhered Basic White cardstock to the front and carefully added it to the inside so you can’t see it when the front flap is down (you can see a picture of this further down in the blog post).
I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock using the Happy Hibiscus stamp set in Blackberry Bliss ink. I cut it out using the “Happy Hibiscus Dies” (these dies come with the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front flap. Then, I added three 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems to the front.

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a wonderful weekend!
by Tracy | Jan 25, 2025 | Hello Card
To create today’s card I used the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle, Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper (free with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration), Nested Essentials Dies and Sunny Day Iridescent Dots.
I used Daffodil Delight cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I cut a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock and layered it with a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder. Then, I adhered it to the front of the card.
I cut a butterfly using the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder and one of the dies that comes with it using Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper (free with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration). I cut the thorax out of Basic White cardstock and adhered it to the butterfly using Multipurpose Glue. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Butterfly but waited to adhere it to the embossed Basic White cardstock until I stamped the sentiment.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Beautiful Butterflies and Pumpkin Pie ink. I cut it out using the Nested Essentials Dies. I wanted to tuck the sentiment behind the butterfly so once I knew where I wanted the sentiment to go, I adhered it down and then added the butterfly.
To complete my card, I added three Sunny Day Dots in Pumpkin Pie around the butterfly and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

I’ve made a few more cards using Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper (FREE with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration). You can see another card I made with this same design using Beautiful Bokeh 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, here!
For today’s card, I also used the Spotlight on Nature Bundle which includes the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Spotlight on Nature stamp set.
I started with a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and scored it in two places (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I cut two pieces of Bloom Impressions DSP and attached them to the front flaps.
I then folded up the Basic White cardstock and adhered it to the Blackberry Bliss cardstock base using Tear & Tape Adhesive (that’s what I like to use) but you can also use Stampin’ Seal+.
I stamped the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set Spotlight on Nature and cut it out using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I cut another, larger circle out of Blackberry Bliss cardstock using the next larger shape in the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the Blackberry Bliss circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back but only on the right and adhered it to the left flap.
Here’s two more variations. With this first one I used Blackberry Bliss cardstock and Blackberry Bliss ink. With both of them I used the Starstruck Embossing Folder (FREE with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration).
With this next one I used Bloom Impressions DSP and Melon Mambo cardstock and Melon Mambo ink.

by Tracy | Dec 21, 2024 | Happy Birthday Card
Today I’m sharing a card I made using Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper (DSP) #164944. This DSP is a Sale-a-Bration product and when your order is $60 you can choose this paper and it will be FREE. Sale-a-Bration starts on January 7th and runs through February 28th. I made another card using Bloom Impressions DSP and you can see it here. To create my card I also used the Unbounded Love stamp set and Stylish Shapes Dies.
I started with a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I added a layer of Basic White to the front of the card. I cut another piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock and set it aside (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List).
Next, I cut Bloom Impressions DSP and then cut it into strips 3/4″ wide. I then glued the pieces to the Blackberry Bliss cardstock that I set aside and adhered it to the Basic White cardstock.
Then, I stamped my sentiment on Basic White cardstock in Blackberry Bliss ink using the stamp set, Unbounded Love. I cut it out with the Stylish Shapes Dies and then cut a larger circle out of Blackberry Bliss cardstock using the same dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
