The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the same layout as Monday’s card. I used many of the same products that I used on Monday’s card, the only difference is I used Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper. I also used the Pattern of Friendship Stamp Set, Sentimental Framing Dies, Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, and Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock (an Online Exclusive) and then, embossed a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of the card.
I layered a piece of Blackberry Bliss with Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper and then adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Pattern of Friendship stamp set in Blackberry Bliss ink. Then, cut it out using the Sentimental Framing Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back (being careful not to place the Dimensionals on either end of the sentiment). I then, adhered the sentiment to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added three rhinestones in the center of the “flowers.”

I’m sharing two cards today that use the same layout as my card on Tuesday. You can see Tuesday’s card, here. I changed the Designer Series Paper and the embossing folder. On the first card, I used Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper (an Online Exclusive) and Low Profile Sparkle Dots (an Online Exclusive). On the second card I used Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper (an Online Exclusive) and Low Profile Dots (an Online Exclusive). With both of the cards I used the Textured Notes Bundle (an Online Exclusive) and the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder.
I started off with a piece of Old Olive cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I layered a piece of Painterly Pears DSP to a piece of Old Olive cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive ink onto Basic White cardstock and then cut it out using the Textured Notes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment, only the part that would be on the DSP/Old Olive layer.
To complete my card, I added two Low Profile Sparkle Dots in Mossy Meadow to each end of the sentiment and added a piece of Basic White to the inside of the card.
For this next card, I used Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper and Low Profile Dots in gold. I also used Strawberry Slush cardstock and Strawberry Slush ink.

The card I’m sharing with you today was made using Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper, the Textured Notes Bundle, the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, White Woven 1/2″ Woven Ribbon and Drusy Adhesive Backed Embellishments.
I started with Darling Duckling cardstock (a new In Color) for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of the card.
I cut a piece of Darling Duckling cardstock and layered it with a piece of Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper. Next, I wrapped a piece of White 1/2″ Woven Ribbon around the layered piece and tied a knot. I trimmed off the ends and made sure to slide the ribbon over to the far left. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Garden Green ink and the stamp set, Textured Notes. I then cut it out using the Textured Notes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it over the ribbon.
To complete my card, I added two Drusy Adhesive-Backed Embellishments to each end of the sentiment and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
