I have a lot of scraps of Designer Seres Paper (it’s hard to throw any of it away) so I decided to make several cards using leftover squares of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper.
For this first card, I started with a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder. I then embossed another piece of Basic White that I adhered to a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock.
I cut the square of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper using the Stylish Shapes Dies and layered it with a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I stamped the sentiment in Fresh Freesia ink using the stamp set, Soft Seedlings and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and then cut a larger circle out of Gorgeous Grape cardstock. I adhered the two pieces together and then added Tear & Tape (because it’s really strong) to the upper part of the sentiment and placed it at the bottom of the square. I also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
This other version was made using Pool Party cardstock.

The January – June Mini Catalog is retiring and I thought it would be fun to choose my top five products. I would have added New Horizons Designer Series Paper but unfortunately it has sold out. All retiring products are available while supplies last.
For more information about the cards below, click on the image and you’ll be taken to the original post.
Please note that some products shown on the cards are no longer available
#1 Happy & Heartfelt Stamp Set
I love this stamp set and it’s one I will keep in my personal stash. I love the sentiments and the font used.
I used Abstract Beauty 4″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper on the card below. It’s also retiring and 50% off. Normally $15.00, now $7.50.
#2 Flowing Flowers Stamp Set
Sometimes I buy stamp sets just for sentiments and I was drawn not only to the sentiments in this set but the images too.
#3 Polished Dots
What I love most about the Polished Dots is that I can I can color the clear ones with my Stampin’ Blends to match my card. Instant coordination! They also look really nice just left as is. I’m really sad these are retiring. They are now 30% off. Normally $7.50, now $5.25.
New Horizons Designer Series Paper was used on this card but it has sold out.
#4 Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper
I love flowers and I love Designer Series Paper. When those two come together . . . .
This paper is now 30% off. Normally $11.50, now $8.05
#5 Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder
I was a little late to the party with this product. I think it’s a really pretty embossing folder and I wish I had used it more. There’s a big heart in the center, which can be cut out with the coordinating heart die but it can also be covered up as I did in the second card below.
The Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder which includes 9 dies is now 50% off. Normally $29.00, now $14.50.
I also used Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper on this card and the stamp set, Happy & Heartfelt (both on my top 5 list).

The card I have to share with you today features the stamp set, Limited Edition and Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper (I can’t get enough of this paper).
I started with a base of Pool Party cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then I placed a piece of Basic White cardstock inside one of the Elegant 3D Embossing Folders and ran it through the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine. I then adhered it to a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock and placed it on the front of the card.
Next, I layered a piece of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper with a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Limited Edition in Fresh Freesia ink and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added adhesive just to the corner of the circle (the part that would be sitting on the Designer Series Paper layer) and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete the card, I added an In Color Opal Round below the sentiment and added a piece of Basic White cardstock inside the card.

I started with a piece of Night of Navy cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock and a piece of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper and layered them together. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
I stamped my sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Night of Navy ink and the stamp set, Happy & Heartfelt, which is retiring.

Today’s card was made using the new stamp set, Charming Sentiments, Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper, the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch and the new Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folders.
I started with a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a layer of Night of Navy cardstock and Basic White cardstock. Next, I used the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch to cut two pieces of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper and two pieces of Night of Navy cardstock. I placed the Night of Navy pieces into one of the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folders and ran the folder through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the backs of all four pieces and then adhered them to the front of the card. Next, I used the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch again to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink onto the punched piece using the stamp set, Charming Sentiments. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the center of the other punched pieces.
To complete my card, I added three Glossy Dots around the sentiment. These new embellishments are very pretty and sparkly in person!
Bundle Alert: The Charming Sentiments Bundle is available which includes the Charming Sentiments stamp set and the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. You always save 10% when you purchase a bundle.
