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.

Happy Friday!!
Today’s card was created using Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper, Fragrant Flowers Dies and the Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder. Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper can be earned FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration!
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a strip of Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the front of the card. I cut a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock, placed it inside the Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I then adhered it to the bottom of the card base.
I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a scalloped rectangle out of Basic White cardstock. Then I used the Fragrant Flowers Dies to cut the flowers out on one of the patterns in the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper. I love when we can use the dies to cut a shape out of our paper! I adhered the flowers to the scalloped rectangle and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the rectangle and placed it on the front of my card.
I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Limited Edition stamp set. I cut it out using the All That Dies. I added adhesive just to the part of the sentiment that would be “sitting” on the scalloped rectangle. To complete my card I added three (two small and one large) Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots.

Today’s card was made using the same layout as yesterday’s card but I used Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper and Build a Butterfly Dies.
I started out with a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock for my card base and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock. I also adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of my card. Then, I cut a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List) and placed it inside the Fern 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. After adhering it to the front of the card, I cut a piece of Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper and adhered that to the front of the card.
I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a stitched square out of Basic White cardstock and then stamped the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink using the stamp set, Limited Edition. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I used a different pattern of Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper to cut out my butterfly using the Build a Butterfly Dies. I cut Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals so that they’d fit down the center of the butterfly and adhered the butterfly to the sentiment piece.
To complete my card, I added three Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the front of the card.
Bundle Alert: The Best Butterflies Bundle includes the Best Butterflies stamp set and the Build a Butterfly Dies. You’ll always save 10% when you purchase a bundle.

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.
