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.

March 1st has arrived and five new Stampin’ Up products from the Waves of the Ocean collection are now available plus the Savings Are In Bloom sale has begun! This blog post is jammed packed with information but first, I’d like to share my card for today.
My card features two new products from the Waves of the Ocean Collection: Waves of the Ocean 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels.


I started with a piece of Pacific Point cardstock for the base of my card and then added a layer of Waves of the Ocean Designer Series Paper (this paper is only available while supplies last). Then I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.


I stamped the sentiment using the stamp set, Happy & Heartfelt, in Pacific Point ink onto the stitched rectangle and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the Designer Series Paper.Then I used the same design of paper to die-cut a butterfly using the Brilliant Wings Dies. I placed two Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals down the center of the butterfly and adhered it to the front of the card.

To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and then added three Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels to the front of the card. When these rhinestones arrived in my preorder, the first words out of my mouth were, “WOW, these are beautiful!!!!” I’m definitely buying more of them!

by Tracy | Feb 8, 2022 | Brilliant Wings Dies, Rectangle Stitched Dies
I made today’s card by using a Sunday Stamps sketch. My card features On the Horizon stamp set, Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper and the Stitched Rectangles Dies.

Here’s the sketch for Sunday Stamps SSC276.

I started with a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock for the base of my card (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then, I used the Stitched Rectangles Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock, ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder and then adhered it to the front of the card. I used the Stitched Rectangles Dies to cut a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock and a piece of Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper (you can earn this paper FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration). I adhered the two panels to the front of the card.


I used the Stitched Rectangles Dies to cut the sentiment piece out of Basic White cardstock and another one out of the same design of Designer Series Paper. I stamped the sentiment using Memento Ink and the stamp set, On the Horizon. I adhered the sentiment to the Designer Series Paper and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adhering both to the front of the card.

Again, I used the same design of Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper to cut a butterfly using the Brilliant Wings Dies. I added one Mini Stampin’ Dimensional to the center of the butterfly before adhering it to the front of the card.


To complete my card, I added a Genial Gem to the center of the butterfly and three more to the front of the card. I also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

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.
