by Tracy | Feb 2, 2024 | Thank You Card
If you need a quick but cute card, today’s card is one you’ll want to make. I needed to send a thank you card, quick, and made today’s card to send out.
I made it using the Charming Sentiments stamp set, Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (DSP), and the Thoughtful Expressions Dies.
I started with a piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock for the base of my card and scored it in two places (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I cut two pieces of Perennial Lavender DSP and adhered them to the front panels of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Charming Sentiments. I cut it out using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies and then cut the next larger shape out of Pretty Peacock cardstock. I adhered the two pieces together and then on the back I added one row of Stampin’ Dimensionals at the top and adhered it to the top panel.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

by Tracy | Dec 22, 2023 | Thank You Card
The card I’m sharing with you today was created using the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments stamp set, Garden Walk Designer Series Paper (retiring), Nested Essentials Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies and the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.
I started with a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock for the base of my card. Then I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the front of the card.
I cut a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock and adhered a piece of Garden Walk Designer Series Paper to the front and then adhered it to the front of the card, I used another design of Garden Walk DSP and cut it out using the Nested Essentials Dies. Then, I adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock in Poppy Parade ink using the Charming Sentiments stamp set . I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and then cut a larger circle in Pretty Peacock cardstock. I adhered the two together, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
To complete my card, I added three Blooming Pearls to the front and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Today’s fun fold card was created using Stampin’ Up! Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper, Charming Sentiments stamp set and one of the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folders. This paper is only available for a limited time and can be purchased while supplies last.
I started with a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock for the base of my card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I cut a piece off the end but saved it to use on the front of the card. Next, I cut a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock and ran it through one of the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folders and adhered it to the top of the card. I used the piece of Evening Evergreen I cut off the base of the card and layered it with a piece of Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back, just at the top, and adhered it to the embossed Balmy Blue cardstock.
I cut another piece of Balmy Blue cardstock and adhered it to the inside of the card. Then I cut a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock and layered it with a piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered it to the inside of the card. I stamped the sentiment in Balmy Blue ink using the Charming Sentiments stamp set and then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Using the Layering Circles Dies, I cut a scalloped circle out of Evening Evergreen cardstock and adhered the sentiment to the front. Then, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.

Today is Day 2 of showcasing Stampin’ Up! Basic Borders Dies. If you missed yesterday’s card, you can see it here.
Yesterday I found out that the Aspen Tree Dies – a Sale-a-Bration gift with a $100 purchase – are on the Low Inventory list. More stock will be coming in but when, I can’t say. If you’ve had your eye on these dies or the Perched in a Tree Bundle, grab them while you can!
The Aspen Tree Dies can be purchased in three ways:
Please note: The free Sale-a-Bration option has a different product number than if you were to purchase the dies. If you are choosing the free option, be sure to use the Sale-a-Bration product number. Please see the different item numbers above.
I had planned to space my three cards throughout the week but I’m sharing them today just in case they are out of stock soon! This first card was made with Rings of Love Designer Series Paper, a Sale-a-Bration gift with a $50 purchase.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and then used the Basic Borders Dies to cut the bottom into a V-shape. Then I added a piece of Rings of Love Designer Series Paper to the inside. Next, I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink using the stamp set, Cottage Wreaths.
I placed a piece of Basic White cardstock inside the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then I adhered it to the front of the card.
I used Memento ink to stamp the bird and branch onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Perched in a Tree (this coordinates with the Aspen Tree Dies). Then I colored the bird using these Stampin’ Blends: Night of Navy (Light and Dark), Daffodil Delight (Light and Dark). I used the Dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend for the branch and the bird’s beak and feet. I also used the Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter on the bird’s belly. I then adhered the bird and branch to the front of the card.
For this next card, I didn’t use Designer Series Paper but chose to use embossed paper for both the inside and front of the card. I also made the front embossed piece a little bit longer than on the previous card.
I used all the same products but for this card, I used a Dark Soft Suede Stampin’ Blend for the branch and the bird’s feet and beak.
For this next card, I used another design from Rings of Love Designer Series Paper.
I cut a piece of 4″ x 3- 3/4″ piece of Rings of Love Designer Series Paper and placed one of the Basic Borders Dies from the top right corner to the bottom left corner to create the shape. I started with a piece of Early Espresso cardstock and then added a layer of Crushed Curry cardstock that I ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder. Then I adhered the shape I made with the Basic Borders Dies.
Next, I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Charming Sentiments. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies (currently out of stock but estimated to be available again the week of September 19th). I cut a larger circle out of Early Espresso and layered the two pieces together. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used the Aspen Tree Dies to cut two small leaves out of Crushed Curry & Poppy Parade cardstock and then adhered them above the sentiment. To complete my card, I added three Brushed Metallic Dots.
Supply List
Below you’ll find all the Stampin’ Up! supplies I used for all three cards. 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.
