The card I’m sharing today was made using Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia stamp set, Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (on the Low Inventory List) and the Everyday Details Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I layered a piece of Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (DSP) with a piece of Highland Heather cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card.
I layered another piece of Flowering Zinnias DSP with another piece of Highland Heather cardstock and then adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set Simply Zinnia and Highland Heather ink. Then, I cut it out using the Everyday Details Dies and cut a larger rectangle out of Highland Heather cardstock. I layered the two pieces together, added Stampin’ Dimensional to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.

I have three cards to share with you today using Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (DSP), the Notes of Nature stamp set, Everyday Details Dies (these dies are currently unavailable but are expected to be back in stock the week of March 25th), and the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.
I send thank you cards with each order and I’ve been using the same design because I don’t want to send a card that someone has already received, so I change the card up a bit. You can see other varieties of this card here and here.
I started with a piece of Gorgeous Grape 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 card front.
Next, I layered a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock with a piece of Perennial Lavender DSP, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink using the stamp set, Notes of Nature onto Basic White cardstock and then cut it out using the Everyday Details Dies. Using Gorgeous Grape cardstock, I cut a larger rectangle using the Everyday Details Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the Gorgeous Grape rectangle and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals only to the part that wouldn’t hang off the DSP rectangle and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
Here’s another version using all the same products.
Here’s one more using Shaded Spruce cardstock and Shaded Spruce ink.

I have another card for you today using Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (I love this paper) and the Simply Zinnia stamp set (this was not going to be available until the week of March 11th but it’s in stock now). I also used the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder, and the Everyday Details Dies. You can see other versions of this card here.
I started with a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock for the base of my card. Then I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. After adhering the embossed cardstock to the front of my card, I layered a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock with a piece of Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of my card.
I stamped the sentiment in Flirty Flamingo ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Simply Zinnia. I then cut it out using the Everyday Details Dies. I cut a larger rectangle, using the same dies, out of Flirty Flamingo cardstock and adhered the sentiment to the front. I added three rows of Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back (not on the part that hangs off the cardstock) and adhered it the card front.
To complete my card I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

It’s been a wonderful two months of earning free product during Sale-a-Bration, hasn’t it? In honor of Sale-a-Bration ending today, I’m sharing one more card using two of my favorite Sale-a-Bration products which are the Softly Sophisticated Bundle (which includes a stamp set and an embossing folder) and Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper. I also used the Everyday Details Dies.
I started with a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Softly Sophisticated embossing folder in the Softly Sophisticated Bundle (this product is free with a $100 purchase during Sale-a-Bration which ends today) and then adhered it to the front of my card.
Then, I cut piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock and a piece of Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper (free with a $50 order) and adhered them together before adhering them to the front of my card. I cut another piece of Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper using the Everyday Details Dies and cut the next larger circle in Flirty Flamingo cardstock. After adhering the Designer Series Paper to the Flirty Flamingo circle, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Softly Sophisticated in Flirty Flamingo ink. I cut it out using the Everyday Details Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of my card. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

Starter Kit with Two Options Ends Today!
The best time to purchase the Starter Kit is during Sale-A-Bration!! The Starter Kit is $99 and you’ll receive $125 in Stampin’ Up! product (shipping is always free when you purchase the Starter Kit)! The Starter Kit is truly for anyone! It’s for the person who wants to receive a 20% (to start) discount when they buy their Stampin’ Up! products. It’s also for the business minded person. There’s no risk in purchasing the Starter Kit, only perks and you get to choose what you want to add to your Starter Kit. But wait, there’s more!
When I purchased the Starter Kit in 2009, I bought it just so I could get the discount. In 2009 you didn’t have the freedom to choose the products you wanted, it came with set products. I love that Stampin’ Up! gives you the chance to now customize your kit so that you pick the products you love and know you will use. For more information about the Starter Kit, you can take a look here for some frequently asked questions. You are also welcome to email me with any questions (click EMAIL ME on the sidebar).
You have two options during Sale-a-Bration:
Option 1: Choose the Stampin’ Glass Mat Studio (Retail Value $60). If you choose this option, Stampin’ Up! will send this to you, absolutely FREE!
Demonstrators were able to purchase the Glass Mat before Sale-a-Bration began and before I got it, I’d never used a glass mat. Well, it’s awesome! It’s a product that I never knew I wanted!
The heavy-duty glass mat comes printed with a ruler and grid lines for easy measuring, while the large surface space gives ample room for spreading out while paper crafting. The safety-tempered glass has a heat and scratch resistant surface that wipes clean with the included cloth and water—no chemicals needed. The reusable cloth also cleans ink off your stamps! The nonslip, heat resistant, waterproof silicone mat features four palette squares for mixing custom ink colors or for holding small ink spots in place while crafting. Each component can be used separately or you can use all three items together for a multipurpose paper crafting studio that’s both functional and elegant.
Option 2: Your choice of an additional $30 in FREE products to add to your Starter Kit!

Today I have a sneak peek of several products that will be new Online Exclusives beginning March 5th. I’ve made three cards with the same layout but I changed up the colors. I used Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper #163469, Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder #163337, the Simply Zinnia stamp set #163472 and the Everyday Details Dies which debuted in the current Mini Catalog. Unfortunately the Simply Zinnia stamp set was so popular with demonstrators (demos can order products early) that it won’t be available when the other Online Exclusives debut but it is estimated to be back in stock the week of March 11th.
I started with a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder (available March 5th) and then adhered it to the front of the card. I cut another piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock and layered it with a piece of Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (available March 5th), added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Simply Zinnia stamp set (estimated to be back in stock the week of March 11th). I cut the sentiment out using the Everyday Details Dies and then cut the next larger rectangle out of Blackberry Bliss cardstock and adhered the sentiment to the front. On the back, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right side only and adhered it to the front of the card (I didn’t add Dimensionals to the part that hangs off the Designer Series Paper layer).
Here’s another one using Berry Burst cardstock and Berry Burst ink.
Here’s another version using Melon Mambo cardstock and Melon Mambo ink.
These new products will be available in the Online Exclusives section of the online store on March 5th.
