Today’s card was made using the Sweet Citrus stamp set and the Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder which includes an embossing folder and dies.
I started with a piece of Parakeet Party cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock, placed it inside the Sweet Citrus Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I adhered it to the front of the card.
Next, I cut a scalloped rectangle out of Basic White cardstock using the Scalloped Contours Dies. Then, I stamped the three pieces of lemon onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Daffodil Delight ink. The stamp is one big stamp and actually stamps four pieces of lemon but I chose to use three of them. There’s one stamp for the outside of the lemon which I stamped first and another stamp for the inside of the lemons. I used Daffodil Delight ink for both stamps. I was able to line the stamps up better by stamping the outside first but for you, it might be the other way around.
Then I cut the lemon pieces out using the Sweet Citrus Dies. I stamped the leaves onto Basic White cardstock using Parakeet Party ink and then cut them out with the leaf dies. What you can do, but I chose not to, is insert the dies in the embossing folder and your pieces will also be embossed!
I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Citrus stamp set onto the scalloped rectangle in Parakeet Party ink. Then, I adhered the lemon pieces and leaves to the rectangle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the rectangle and adhered it to the front of the card. I added three Daffodil Delight dots from the Glossy Dots Assortment to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

The colors for today’s card was inspired by fellow demonstrator, Susan Campfield. The card isn’t on her blog but I saw it on Instagram. I thought the colors she used were so beautiful together that I wanted to create my own card! I used the stamp set, Limited Edition, one of the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders, Stylish Shapes Dies and the Layering Circles Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I layered a piece of Highland Heather cardstock with Fresh Freesia cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card (I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Highland Heather returns and Fresh Freesia is added to the collection). You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.
I cut four 1-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ cardstock squares out of Pool Party, Balmy Blue, Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather. Then I placed them in one of the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders and ran them through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock, adhered the squares to it and then adhered the square to the front of the card. I cut a piece of Highland Heather cardstock and ran it through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the same embossing folder. After adhering it to the front of the card, I added three Glossy Dots to the strip.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Highland Heather ink and the stamp set, Limited Edition. Next, I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a scalloped circle out of Fresh Freesia cardstock using the Layering Circles Dies and layered it with the sentiment. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
Here’s another version of the card without the Fresh Freesia scalloped circle.

by Tracy | Feb 27, 2023 | Birthday Card
Today’s card was created using Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper, Friendly Gnomes stamp set, Gnomes Dies and the Best Day stamp set. I also used the Stylish Shapes Dies which are now back in stock but also on the Low Inventory List. The Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper is a free product you can earn during Sale-a-Bration (which ends tomorrow) with a $100 purchase.
Gnomes Dies Update: The Gnomes Dies are currently unavailable and are estimated to be back in stock the week of March 27th.
I started with a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut two pieces of Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I adhered one to the inside of the card. With the other piece, I ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using one of the Basic 3D Embossing Folders (available March 1st). Then I adhered it to the card front.
I layered a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock with a piece of Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper and then adhered it to the left side of the card base. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Basic 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered this to a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Highland Heather ink onto Basic White cardstock and then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies (the die was longer than I needed so I stamped towards the right and then trimmed off the length). Then, I stamped the gnome in Memento Ink onto Basic White cardstock and colored her with these Stampin’ Blends:
- Highland Heather
- Daffodil Delight
- Fresh Freesia
- Ivory
I cut her out with the Gnomes Dies and then adhered her to the sentiment. Then, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the gnome and the sentiment and placed them on the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three Glossy Dots to the card.

Today I have a card to share with you using the Nested Friends Bundle which includes the Nested Friends stamp set and the Nested Friends Dies. I love a cute bird stamp set and if there are dies too, I’m in! I also used the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder.
I started with a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock, placed it inside the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder, ran it though my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and then adhered it to the front of my card. Next, I cut a circle out of Basic White cardstock using the Layering Circles Dies and cut a scalloped circle out of Balmy Blue cardstock.
I used the Nested Friends stamp set and stamped the branch onto the Basic White circle using Memento Ink. I stamped the bird onto another piece of Basic White cardstock. Then I colored the branch using my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Combo pack and my Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blend (I went over some of the areas a second time to get the color darker). The bird was colored with the Light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend (body), Light Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend (body) and the Dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend (beak). I adhered the white circle to the scalloped Balmy Blue circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
Using the Nested Friends Dies, I cut the bird out, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the branch. I added three Glossy Dots around the bird and branch. I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Nested Friends Stamp Set and Memento Ink. I cut it out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and then cut a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock a little bit bigger than the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the Balmy Blue cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
Supply List
Measurements
- Balmy Blue cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ score at 4-1/4″

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then I added strips of Regency Park Designer Series Paper using two different designs and adhered them to the card base.
Next, I stamped the flowers and leaves in the Beautifully Happy stamp set in Memento Ink and then colored them using these Stampin’ Blends:
- Balmy Blue Light and Dark
- Granny Apple Green Light and Dark
- Daffodil Delight Dark
After I colored the flowers and leaves I cut them out using the Stylish Shapes Dies (these dies have been out of stock but are estimated to be in the week of February 13, 2023). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it in the center of the card.
I then stamped the sentiment in Memento ink and cut it out with Stylish Shapes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the lower right hand corner. To complete my card, I added three Glossy Dots which add a lot of sparkle to the card!
