Today’s the last day of Sale-a-Bration! For those of you who have been shopping with Stampin’ Up! the last several years, this is just a reminder that Stampin’ Up! is now only offering one Sale-a-Bration this year.
I have one last Sale-a-Bration post and it’s for a fun fold using Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper plus I have two cards to share with you. I also used the Best Day stamp set, Stitched Rectangle Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies. The Stylish Shapes Dies are back in stock but are showing low inventory.
The fold I’ve used on this card is really easy and the base of the card is Designer Series Paper. Since both sides of the paper will show, you’ll need to find a sheet where both sides compliment each other. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List. Here’s the first card:
After you’ve scored your paper, you’ll need to fold it like this:
Then, you’ll turn your paper over to the back side and add adhesive on one of the panels and adhere them together.
Once the card was assembled, I used my Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut a rectangle out of Balmy Blue cardstock and a small one out of Basic White cardstock. I stamped Happy Birthday at the top in Memento Ink onto the Basic White rectangle using the Best Day stamp set. Then I stamped the the cat. I colored the cat using these Stampin’ Blends:
- Gray Granite
- Parakeet Party
- Petal Pink
I then adhered the cat panel to the Balmy Blue rectangle. On the back, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right side only and then set it aside.
I stamped the inside sentiment, also from the Best Day stamp set, in Memento ink and then used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut it out. I cut another circle, a little bit larger, out of Balmy Blue cardstock, and adhered the two circles together. You don’t want to see the inside sentiment when the card is closed so I figured out how far over I needed to add the cat rectangle to the front panel so that it wouldn’t be seen (the inside sentiment). Once I knew the placement would be okay, I adhered the front panel and the inside sentiment. Of course, you can just adhere the sentiment to the middle of the inside panel.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the last panel and added three 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots to the front of the card.
Now onto the second card. The construction is the same and I again used the Best Day stamp set for the front panel and inside sentiment. To the front, I added four Glossy Dots. I used these Stampin’ Blends to color the cake:
- Pool Party
- Bermuda Bay
- Balmy Blue

by Tracy | Feb 27, 2023 | Birthday Card
Today’s card was created using Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper, Friendly Gnomes stamp set, Gnomes Dies and the Best Day stamp set. I also used the Stylish Shapes Dies which are now back in stock but also on the Low Inventory List. The Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper is a free product you can earn during Sale-a-Bration (which ends tomorrow) with a $100 purchase.
Gnomes Dies Update: The Gnomes Dies are currently unavailable and are estimated to be back in stock the week of March 27th.
I started with a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut two pieces of Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I adhered one to the inside of the card. With the other piece, I ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using one of the Basic 3D Embossing Folders (available March 1st). Then I adhered it to the card front.
I layered a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock with a piece of Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper and then adhered it to the left side of the card base. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Basic 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered this to a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Highland Heather ink onto Basic White cardstock and then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies (the die was longer than I needed so I stamped towards the right and then trimmed off the length). Then, I stamped the gnome in Memento Ink onto Basic White cardstock and colored her with these Stampin’ Blends:
- Highland Heather
- Daffodil Delight
- Fresh Freesia
- Ivory
I cut her out with the Gnomes Dies and then adhered her to the sentiment. Then, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the gnome and the sentiment and placed them on the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three Glossy Dots to the card.

Today I have another card using the Adorable Owls stamp set. I also used Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper and the Gingham Embossing Folder. Both the Adorable Owls stamp set and the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper are free with a qualifying purchase during Sale-a-Bration. Read on for more information!
I started with a piece Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I layered a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock with a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Gingham Embossing Folder. Then, I adhered it to the front of the card.
Next, I layered another piece of Balmy Blue cardstock with Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. Dandy Designs is a HUGE pack of paper and you can earn it FREE with a $100 purchase.
I stamped the owl using the Adorable Owls stamp set in Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock. I colored the owl using these Stampin’ Blends:
- Crumb Cake Light and Dark
- Pool Party Light
- Balmy Blue Light
- Petal Pink Light
After coloring the owl, I cut him out using the Layering Circles Dies. Using these same dies, I cut a larger scalloped circle out of Balmy Blue and adhered the owl to it. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Memento ink and the stamp set, Easter Bunny. I then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies (these dies have been out of stock for quite some time but Stampin’ Up! is estimating they’ll be back in stock the week of February 13th). I added adhesive to the top part of the sentiment only and adhered it to the Designer Series Paper layer.
I colored five rhinestones using my Dark Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend, although it’s hard to tell in the pictures. It’s so nice to be able to color rhinestones to match your card! I have to admit, I forgot about this trick!
