This is a great opportunity to purchase new In Color products at a discount, so grab products you love—like ink, two-tone cardstock, and Designer Series Paper—and get everything you need to create projects that showcase Stampin’ Up!’s amazing color coordination!

Now on to my card! I used the Pattern of Friendship Stamp Set (an Online Exclusive), Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder to create my card today.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic cardstock for the base of my card (this cardstock can be found in the Online Exclusives part of the Stampin’ Up! store). I cut a piece of Peach Pie cardstock and set it aside.
I cut two pieces of Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper (DSP) and two pieces of Basic White cardstock (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). I embossed the two pieces of Basic White cardstock using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I arranged the DSP and Basic White cardstock on the Peach Pie cardstock. After I finished that, I adhered the Peach Pie cardstock to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Pattern of Friendship stamp set in Summer Splash ink. I cut it out using the third largest circle in the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a bigger circle out of Summer Splash cardstock using the second largest circle in the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the front of the Summer Splash circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.

I do love embossing folders and I have a sneak peek at one that is coming out on July 1st – the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder #166145.
I have two cards to share with you using the same products but different colors of cardstock. I used the stamp set, With You in Mind (this stamp set is an Online Exclusive but it can also be found on page 37 in the new Annual Catalog), Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies, 2-3/8″ Circle Punch (this product can be found in Online Exclusives) and 2024-2026 In Color Flat Pearls.
If the links don’t work, please try again! Please double check the prices in my Supply List.
I started with a piece of Peach Pie cardstock (you can find all the measurements below the Supply List). I then embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder (available July 1, 2025) using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered it to the Peach Pie cardstock.
I cut another piece of Peach Pie cardstock for the flap and scored it. I added a strong adhesive to the back (I used Tear & Tape) and adhered it to the card front (you can also used Stampin’ Seal+).
I stamped the sentiment in Summer Splash ink onto Basic White cardstock. I punched it out with the 2-3/8 Circle Punch (I didn’t use the Stylish Shapes Dies, because the sentiment wouldn’t fit). I then cut a Summer Splash circle using the Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered the sentiment to the front. On the back of the Summer Splash circle, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals on the right side only and adhered it to the flap.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and three Peach Pie embellishments to the front of the card.
This version uses Summer Splash cardstock and Summer Splash embellishments. I also used a Peach Pie for the circle that sits under the sentiment.

The card I’m sharing with you today uses the same layout as yesterday’s card. I used the Mixed Labels Bundle (an Online Exclusive), Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper, Damask Designs Embossing Folder, and Petunia Pop 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon, which is now an Online Exclusive.
If you get a 404 error, please try the link again!
I started with a piece of Petunia Pop cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Damask Designs Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the embossed Basic White cardstock to the front of the card.
I layered a piece of Petunia Pop cardstock with Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper. Then, I wrapped a piece of Petunia Pop Bordered Ribbon around the layer and tied a knot. Next, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card, making sure my ribbon was over to the far left so my sentiment would fit.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Petunia Pop ink and the stamp set, Mixed Labels. I cut it out using the Mixed Labels Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the top and bottom and placed it over the ribbon.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
