Today’s cards were made with a two different Designer Series Papers and cardstock but all were made using the same design. All of the cards were also made using the Timeless Arrangements Dies and the Layering Leaves stamp set.
This first card was made with Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper, the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder, and Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy cardstock. The sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy ink and cut out using the Timeless Arrangements Die. The sentiment was popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For this next card, instead of embossing the vertical panel, I used another coordinating piece of Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper.
This next card was made using Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper, the Timber 3D Embossing Folder, Night of Navy and Balmy Blue cardstock.
For this next card, I swapped out the vertical Designer Series Paper panel for an embossed look, again, using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I used Boho Blue and Night of Navy cardstock and Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper.
For this last card, I used the Fern 3D Embossing Folder, Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper, and Balmy Blue and Night of Navy cardstock.

Today’s card was made using Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper, the stamp set, Darling Details, and the Nested Essentials Dies.
I started with a piece of Night of Navy cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I also embossed the Balmy Blue cardstock using this same embossing folder. I adhered the Basic White to the card front and then cut a piece of Night of Navy cardstock and adhered the Balmy Blue embossed piece to it. I then adhered this layer to the front of the card.
I cut a piece of Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper and adhered it to a piece of Night of Navy cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink using the stamp set, Darling Details. Then, I used the new Nested Essentials Dies to cut it out. I added adhesive to only the part of the sentiment that would be placed on the Designer Series Paper square. I made quite a few of these as thank you cards and ended up adding Stampin’ Dimensionals to some of them because they didn’t feel like they were as secure as I wanted.
To complete the card, I added three Rhinestone Basic Jewels below the sentiment.

Today I have several cards to share with you, all using the same layout. I used Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Go To Greetings.
I used Calypso Coral cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock, placed it in one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine before adhering it to the card base. Then, I cut two more pieces of Calypso Coral cardstock and layered them with Designer Series Paper. I adhered one to the card base but added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the other and then adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Calypso Coral ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Go To Greetings. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the center of the card.
To complete my card, I added three Iridescent Rhinestone Basic jewels to the front. I also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
Below are two more versions of the card. In this first card, I used Parakeet Party and Fresh Freesia cardstock, Parakeet Party ink, Fern 3D Embossing Folder and Elegant Faceted Gems.
For this next card, I used Calypso Coral ink and cardstock, Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder and Elegant Faceted Gems.

Today’s card was created using the Nature’s Prints Bundle which includes the stamp set, Nature’s Prints and the Natural Prints Dies. I also used In Color 2022-2024 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I was inspired to create my card from one I saw on Jackie’s blog, a fellow demonstrator. You can see her beautiful cards here.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I adhered pieces of Designer Series Paper around the edges of the card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Next, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered it to the center of the card.
On another piece of Basic White cardstock I stamped the leaves using Tahitian Tide ink and the stamp set, Nature’s Prints. I cut it out using the Natural Prints Dies and adhered it to the embossed cardstock.
Next, I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Tahitian Tide ink and the stamp set, Nature’s Prints. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete the card, I added three Basic Rhinestones to the front.
Supply List
Below you’ll find all the Stampin’ Up! supplies I used for today’s card. 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.

Today I have two cards that are variations of a card I shared last week. You can see that card HERE. You can refer to that post for directions on how to make the card and the measurements. For the versions today, I used Texture Chic Designer Series Paper, Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Cup of Tea.
This first card was made using Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper and the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. All the cards today were made using our Festive Pearls and I embossed the sentiments using gold embossing powder.
For these next cards I used Texture Chic Designer Series Paper and the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. Our Festive Pearls come in four colors: Cherry Cobbler, Soft Succulent, Silver and Gold. I used the gold pearls for all of the cards today except for the one below and I used the Soft Succulent pearls. The Festive Pearls have been very popular and keep going in and out of stock. If you’ve had your eye on them, I’d recommend getting them as soon as you can.
This only difference between the previous card and this one is that I used the gold pearls.
For this last one, instead of using Gold Foil for the decorative circle, I used Pool Party cardstock.
I find it really fun to take a card design I like and then try using different paper and cardstock and even a different sentiment. I hope you’ll give this card design a try!

Below you’ll find all the Stampin’ Up! supplies I used for today’s card. 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.
