Today’s card is a variation of one I shared earlier this week and you can see it here. Instead of using one piece of Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper, I used two. I used the stamp set, Darling Details, Tinsel Gems Four Pack, 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack and All That Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I adhered a piece of Bright and Beautiful Designer Series Paper to a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock and then adhered it to the front of the card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List).
Next, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered another piece of Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper to the front. I wrapped a piece of Sheer Ribbon around the piece and tied a knot over to the left. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Darling Details, using Berry Burst ink. I cut it out using the All That Dies and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered to the front of the card.To complete my card I added three Tinsel Gems in Berry Burst to the front of the card and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

I have two cards to share with you today that were created using Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper. I also used the Darling Details stamp set, two of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and our Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack. They are both variations of the same card.
For this first card, the base of the card is Bubble Bath cardstock. I then embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and adhered it to the card base. I cut another piece of Bubble Bath cardstock and adhered a piece of Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper to the front. I then wrapped a piece of 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon around this piece and tied a knot. I absolutely love this ribbon. It’s so pretty and it comes in three colors: Bubble Bath, Azure Afternoon and Lemon Lolly. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the embossed cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Darling Details, in Berry Burst ink and cut it out using the All That Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the ribbon. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
For this second card, the base is Lemon Lolly cardstock. I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the front and a piece of Berry Burst cardstock that I embossed using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I cut another piece of Lemon Lemon Lolly cardstock and a piece of Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper and adhered them together. I wrapped Lemon Lolly sheer ribbon around it and tied a knot. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. Just as I did for the first card, I stamped the sentiment in Berry Burst ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Darling Details and cut it out using the All That Dies.
To complete my card, I added three Tinsel Gems to the front of the card and a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

by Tracy | Aug 12, 2023 | Happy Birthday Card
Thanks so much for your understanding as to why I haven’t been posting. I arrived home a few days ago after being at my mom’s house for four months but I plan to go back in a few weeks. My Mom lived in her home for 53 years! We contacted a realtor and will be selling our family home. My sister and I have been working hard each day to go through all of our mom’s things, which has been excruciating. She loved Christmas and decorated her house so that it was a magical place. Last week we went through her Christmas decorations and I will be bringing quite a lot of them home with me (so many memories!!). Since my dad passed away first, we didn’t have to take the house apart and I really didn’t understand how very hard it is to disassemble someone’s life. My heart goes out to everyone who’s already done this.
I still won’t be posting every day but today I do have two cards to share that I made a few weeks ago. They both use the same products but I used different Designer Series Paper for each one. Both cards were made with the Wanted to Say Dies, Scalloped Contours Dies and one of the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folders.
For this first card, the base of my card is Bubble Bath cardstock. Then I added a piece of Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper to the front of the card. I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then cut another piece of Basic White cardstock to fit on the scalloped rectangle but first I ran it through one of the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the scalloped rectangle and adhered it to the front of the card.
Next, I used the Wanted to Say Dies to cut the words, Happy Birthday. I used Bubble Bath for the background piece and Basic White for the actual words. I adhered the two pieces together and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back to adhere it to the card front.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
For this next card, I used Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper and Berry Burst cardstock.

I have three cards to share with you and they all were made with the same layout. Once I have a layout I like, I try to make several varieties for my thank you cards that I send to everyone who places an order with me. All three cards were created with the Layering Leaves stamp set.
This first card was made with Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper, the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder and the Stylish Shapes Dies.
I started with Night of Navy cardstock for the base of my card. I cut two pieces of Fresh Freesia cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then I cut a piece of Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the larger piece of Fresh Freesia (the left side panel). I cut a piece of Night of Navy cardstock that I embossed using the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder and then adhered it to the smaller piece of Fresh Freesia. I adhered both pieces to the base of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Night of Navy ink and then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a larger circle out of Fresh Freesia cardstock and adhered the sentiment to the front. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
This next card was made using Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. I also used the Something Fancy Dies, one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders, Berry Burst cardstock and Night of Navy ink. .
This next card was also made with the Something Fancy Dies, Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper, Boho Blue cardstock and Cajun Craze ink. With this card, I used Designer Series Paper for both panels.

Thank you so much for all the words of comfort and condolences after the passing of my mom. I read every single email and blog comment and each one was very much appreciated. Words of comfort do make a difference and I thank you. We laid my mom to rest this past Monday and she is now reunited with my dad who passed away 14 years ago.
As you know, we launched a new Annual Catalog on May 2nd with lots of new products. I was able to sit down a few days ago and make a card using the stamp set, Circle Sayings, Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, and some of our new pretty colors, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly, Copper Clay and Berry Burst.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. I embossed a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock (I love this shade of pink) using one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders.
I stamped the cupcake onto Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink and then colored it using these Stampin’ Blends: Lemon Lolly, Bubble Bath and Copper Clay. I cut the cupcake out using Paper Snips. If you don’t want to fussy cut the cupcake, you can stamp it directly on the larger Basic White square mentioned below. I had a different idea when making the card that I didn’t do and that’s why I cut it out.
I then cut a strip of Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper along with two squares using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut another larger square out of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the strip towards the bottom of the embossed cardstock and then adhered this layer to the card base.
I adhered the cupcake to the Basic White square. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the cupcake square only. I adhered the Designer Series Paper squares to the card first, at an angle, and then added the cupcake square.
I stamped the sentiment in Berry Burst ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Circle Sayings, and then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the Designer Series Paper strip. To complete my card, I added five Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins.
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.
