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!

The two cards I’m sharing today were made from a design I shared last week (you can see the original post here).
My first card was made with Sun Prints Designer Series Paper, Layering Circles Dies, Biggest Wish stamp set and the Fern 3D Embossing Folder.

I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added pieces of Sun Prints Designer Series Paper and Night of Navy cardstock embossed with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List).

I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink using the stamp set, Biggest Wish, and cut it out with the Layering Circles Dies. I cut another scalloped circle out of Night of Navy cardstock and layered it with the sentiment. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back before it was placed on the card.


To complete my card, I added three Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the front of the card.


This second card was made with Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper, Smoky Slate cardstock and one of the Elegant Eucalyptus Embossing Folders.

Today’s card features the Blessings of Home Bundle which includes the Blessings of Home stamp set and the Flowers of Home Dies. I also used the Scalloped Contours Dies and the Fern 3D Embossing Folder.
Edited to Add: When you spend $100 during Sale-a-Bration, you can earn the Flower of Home Dies absolutely FREE. You must use this item number when choosing these dies as your free gift: #163095. If you use the item number in the catalog, it won’t come up FREE. This offer is good until August 31, 2022 or while supplies last. You can see this Sale-a-Bration product HERE.

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I ran a piece of Basic White cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card base.


Next, I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a rectangle out of a piece of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive ink at the bottom of the rectangle. This sentiment had more words on it than I wanted so I covered the part I didn’t want with Post It Tape, inked up the stamp, removed the tape and stamped it onto my rectangle. I did this for another card recently and you can see that post here.


On another piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flowers using Memento Ink (this is the ink to use when using Stampin’ Blends). I colored the flowers using these Stampin’ Blends: Melon Mambo (light & dark), Old Olive (light and dark) and Daffodil Delight (light). After coloring it, I cut it out using the Flowers of Home Dies. I thought about popping the flowers up with Dimensionals but decided against it and just used regular adhesive but I did add Dimensionals to the back of the rectangle before adhering it to the front of the card.

To complete my card, I added three Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels around the flowers.

Today’s card was made using the same layout as yesterday’s card but I used Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper and Build a Butterfly Dies.


I started out with a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock for my card base and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock. I also adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of my card. Then, I cut a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List) and placed it inside the Fern 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. After adhering it to the front of the card, I cut a piece of Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper and adhered that to the front of the card.


I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a stitched square out of Basic White cardstock and then stamped the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink using the stamp set, Limited Edition. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I used a different pattern of Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper to cut out my butterfly using the Build a Butterfly Dies. I cut Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals so that they’d fit down the center of the butterfly and adhered the butterfly to the sentiment piece.


To complete my card, I added three Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the front of the card.
Bundle Alert: The Best Butterflies Bundle includes the Best Butterflies stamp set and the Build a Butterfly Dies. You’ll always save 10% when you purchase a bundle.
