Today’s card is the card I made for my mom’s birthday this year. She celebrated her 91st birthday a few days ago!! I’m so lucky to still have my mom.
I started with a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock for the base of my card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then I added a piece of Night of Navy cardstock. Next, I cut another piece of Melon Mambo cardstock, scored it in two places and then folded on the score lines. I added Multipurpose Glue to the back and adhered it to the base of the card.
I cut two pieces of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper (one is a little bit bigger than the other) and adhered them to each flap. This paper, hands down, is my favorite in the Annual Catalog.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Night of Navy ink and the stamp set, Framed Florets, and cut it out using the Layering Circles Dies. I cut progressively larger scalloped circles out of Melon Mambo and Night of Navy cardstock and adhered all the pieces together. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back, on just half of the circle and adhered it to the top flap. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
There’s nothing difficult about this card and I hope you’ll give it a try!

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!

Today’s card was made using one of the new dies in the Perfect Partners promotion, the Playful Piggy Dies. I also used Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, This Birthday Piggy. The dies are available in the This Birthday Piggy Bundle or you can purchase them separately. The dies (and bundle) are only available until September 30, 2022 or while supplies last!
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I cut three pieces of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper into three strips and adhered them to the front of the card. I stamped the pig onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento ink and then colored him with these Stampin’ Blends:
- Petal Pink (Light and Dark)
- Pool Party (Light and Dark)
- Daffodil Delight (Light)
- Soft Suede (Light)
- Fresh Freesia (Light)
I cut the pig out using the Playful Piggy Dies.
I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut a scalloped circle out of Balmy Blue cardstock and another circle out of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the two together, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the center of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink using the stamp set, This Birthday Piggy and then cut it out using the Playful Piggy Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the back of the pig then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of both the pig and sentiment and adhered them to the front of the card.
To complete the card, I added three Fine Sparkle Adhesive Backed Dots around the pig. These gems are super sparkly!

Back to my card! I started with a base of Night of Navy cardstock. Then I cut a piece of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper (DSP) the same size as a piece of Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I ran the Basic White cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Aspen Tree Dies. Then I adhered the Hues of Happiness DSP to the die cut piece by simply adding adhesive all around the edges. Next, I glued this piece to my card front.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock with Night of Navy ink using the stamp set, Inspired Thoughts and then cut it out using the Meadow Dies. I used our Silver Foil to cut two leaves using the Aspen Tree Dies (I love the texture of the leaves). I adhered the larger leaf to the card and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the sentiment and adhered it to the card. Then, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the smaller leaf and placed it so the stem was slightly on the sentiment. To finish the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Yesterday I shared two cards I made with some of my many scraps of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper. Today I have two more cards that were made using more of these scraps. I used all the same products I used for yesterday’s cards.
I started with a piece of Pool Party cardstock and then added a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Fall Leaf 3D Embossing Folder. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut two squares of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper and adhered them both to a piece of Pool Party cardstock. Then, I adhered the top square to the front of the card but added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the bottom square and placed it on the front. I stamped the sentiment in Fresh Freesia ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Soft Seedlings. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and cut a larger circle out of Pool Party cardstock. I adhered the two together, added a strong adhesive (Tear & Tape) to the bottom half of the circle and adhered it to the bottom square.
Here’s one more card using Gorgeous Grape cardstock.
