The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the Textured Notes Stamp Set (an Online Exclusive), Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper (an Online Exclusive), Stylish Shapes Dies, Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder (an Online Exclusive) and Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots (an Online Exclusive).
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock (can be found in Online Exclusives) for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered it to the front of the card.
I layered a piece of Berry Burst cardstock with Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the front of the card. I cut three circles (using the third largest die in the Stylish Shapes Dies) out of Berry Burst, Bubble Bath and Granny Apple Green cardstock. I then embossed them using the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder. I popped the circles up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Textured Notes stamp set in Berry Burst ink. I layered the sentiment onto a piece of Berry Burst cardstock. Then, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals on to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added two Berry Burst Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots to each end of the sentiment.

I layered a piece of Berry Burst cardstock and Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper together. I wrapped a piece of Silver & White Sheer Ribbon around the layer and tied a knot. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back but made sure the ribbon was over to the far left, so the sentiment would fit. I added the layered piece to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment on Basic White cardstock using Berry Burst ink. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Then, I cut another circle out of Berry Burst cardstock (the next largest size) and adhered the sentiment to the front. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the top and bottom and adhered it over the ribbon.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
