Today’s card is a variation of the one I shared on Friday using Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper. You can see Fridays’ card here. This Designer Series Paper is only available while supplies last.


I started with a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock for the base of my card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I cut a piece off the end but saved it to use on the front of the card. Next, I cut a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock and ran it through one of the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folders and adhered it to the top of the card. I used the piece of Balmy Blue I cut off the base of the card and layered it with a piece of Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back, just at the top, and adhered it to the embossed Evening Evergreen cardstock.


I cut another piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock and adhered it to the inside of the card. Then I cut a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock and layered it with a piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered it to the inside of the card. I stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen ink using the Inspired Thoughts stamp set. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete the card, I added three Elegant Faceted Gems to the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper.

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.

Today’s card was made using Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper and the Amazing Thanks Dies.

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock. Then I cut a piece of Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper (I think this design is so elegant looking in person) and adhered it to a piece of Smoky Slate cardstock (all the measurements I used can be found below the Supply List). These layers were then adhered to a piece of Basic White cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card base.



The Amazing Thanks Dies come with two “thanks” and one is chunkier than the other. I used Smoky Slate cardstock for the chunky one and Basic White for the other one. After I cut them out with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, I layered them together using Multipurpose Glue. Then I put Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back (I had to cut several dimensionals in half) and then adhered it to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment in Smoky Slate ink onto a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Inspired Thoughts. The sentiment I used had more words than I needed, so I covered the words I didn’t want with Post It Tape, inked up the stamp, removed the tape and stamped it onto my cardstock.
I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies (these dies are currently unavailable but more stock should be arriving the week of September 19th). I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it below “thanks”. To complete my card, I added three Elegant Faceted Gems below the sentiment.

Some of you may have noticed that in the past few weeks I haven’t shared a free tutorial on Saturday. I love providing free tutorials but it just came down to not having enough hours in each day to get everything done. I had to reassess and make the hard decision to discontinue them, for now. I will still continue to share here on my blog and I hope that my cards will inspire you to create. Thanks for your understanding!
Today’s card was made specifically for a special someone who’s going through a difficult time right now. It features the stamp set, Inspired Thoughts, Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper and the Double Oval Punch.


I started with a base of Pool Party cardstock and scored it in two places so the card would open in a fun way (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card. Then I placed two pieces of Basic White cards inside the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the two pieces to the front of the card.


I cut another piece of Pool Party cardstock and adhered a piece of Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper to the front. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the upper half of the cardstock and adhered it to the top panel. I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock in Pool Party ink using the stamp set, Inspired Thoughts. I cut it out using the Double Oval Punch, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the top panel.



To complete the card, I added a large Brushed Brass Butterfly below the sentiment.
