I made today’s card out of the Happy Hibiscus Bundle, Stylish Shapes Dies and Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots. The Happy Hibiscus Bundle is an Online Exclusive and it comes with the Happy Hibiscus stamp set and the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folders which comes with eleven dies. I made another card on Monday using this bundle and you can see it here.
If my links don’t work, please try them again!
I started with a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder, and then I adhered it to the front of my card.
I die cut four leaves out of Granny Apple Green cardstock (the leaf die is included in the Hybrid Embossing Folder) and then I cut two hibiscus flowers out of Basic White cardstock (you can’t tell from the above picture, but there is a way to cut three flowers out of one die – I saved the others for another project).
I used my small blending brush and the Flirty Flamingo ink pad on a piece of Grid Paper and blended the color onto the two hibiscus flowers. Once I was finished, I set them aside.
I cut the largest circle in the Stylish Shapes Dies out of Basic White cardstock and I stamped the sentiment ( in the Happy Hibiscus stamp set) towards the bottom of the circle in Flirty Flamingo ink.
I adhered the flowers to the top of the circle placing one leaf under the left hibiscus. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the circle and adhered it to the front of the card. Then, I added the three other leaves, slipping them behind the circle.
To complete my card, I added five Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots in Flirty Flamingo onto the card front and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

I made my card using the Happy Hibiscus Bundle (which I didn’t play with until yesterday – why did it take me so long?) and 2024-2026 In Color Flat Pearls. This bundle is an Online Exclusive and it comes with a stamp set and the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder which comes with eleven dies.
If the links don’t work for you, please try them again!
I started with a piece of Berry Burst cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder and I then adhered it to the front of the card.
I cut one hibiscus in Berry Burst cardstock and the other in Petunia Pop cardstock using the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder and the die that cuts three flowers out (I saved the others for another project).
If you haven’t worked with Hybrid Embossing Folders yet, you need to put the die where the Stampin’ Up! emblem is (you can see the picture below). The die will fit into the groove, then put your paper in and it will cut & emboss your flowers!
I also cut four leaves out of Granny Apple Green cardstock using the leaf die that comes with the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder.
I decided where I wanted to put the leaves and took away the flowers and then adhered the leaves down. I adhered the Petunia Pop hibiscus to the front of the card and popped the Berry Burst hibiscus with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Berry Burst ink and the Happy Hibiscus stamp set and then cut it out using one of the dies that comes with the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of my card.
To complete my card I added three 2024-2026 In Color Flat Pearls in Petunia Pop around the front of the card, Then, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

by Tracy | Feb 24, 2025 | Thank You Card
The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the Happy Hibiscus Bundle, Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper (FREE when you place a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration), and 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems.
I started with a piece of Petunia Pop cardstock for the base of my card (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then I embossed two pieces of Basic White cardstock using the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder and then adhered the smaller one to the top of the card and the larger one to the inside of the card.
I added Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper to the front of the Petunia Pop cardstock (that you saved from the card base). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the top of the Petunia Pop/DSP piece and adhered it to the front flap.
I cut another piece of Petunia Pop cardstock and adhered Basic White cardstock to the front and carefully added it to the inside so you can’t see it when the front flap is down (you can see a picture of this further down in the blog post).
I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock using the Happy Hibiscus stamp set in Blackberry Bliss ink. I cut it out using the “Happy Hibiscus Dies” (these dies come with the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front flap. Then, I added three 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems to the front.

The card I’m sharing with you today was made with the Happy Hibiscus Bundle (this bundle is an Online Exclusive). I also used 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper, Countryside Corners Dies, and 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I adhered a piece of 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper to the front of the card base (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List).
Next, I used the Countryside Corners Dies to cut a piece of Summer Splash cardstock and Basic White cardstock. When I cut out the Basic White I ran it through the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder and then adhered it to the Summer Splash cardstock. Then, I adhered it to the card base.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Happy Hibiscus stamp set in Summer Splash ink. I cut it out with the dies that come with the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder (it comes with 11 dies). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and adhered it to the front of the card.
Next, I added three Summer Splash Shimmer Gems to the embossed cardstock.
