Be sure to look farther down in the post for two sales that begin on Tuesday, August 5th!
The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the same layout as Friday’s card. You can see Friday’s card here. But I did make one tweak to the embossed Basic White squares (I made them a bit larger). I used the Sunshine Vibes stamp set, Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper (an Online Exclusive), Stylish Shapes Dies and the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder.
If the links don’t work, please try again!
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock (an Online Exclusive) for the base of my card.
I cut a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock and set it aside. I cut two pieces of Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper and two pieces of Basic White cardstock (if you didn’t notice at the top of the post, I changed the measurements for the Basic White cardstock from Friday’s card). I embossed the Basic White cardstock using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the four pieces to the front of the Fresh Freesia cardstock.
Next, I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Sunshine Vibes stamp set in Fresh Freesia ink. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies using the third largest circle die. Then, I cut a Fresh Freesia circle using the second largest circle die. I adhered the sentiment to the front of the Fresh Freesia circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.

Today I’m sharing two products with the same exact products. I used Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper, the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set, Spotlight on Nature Dies, Nested Essentials Dies and the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder. (If any links don’t work, please try again. I always test my links and some didn’t open for me. These products are all current so if you’re taken to a generic SU! page, please try the link again).
I started with a piece of Garden Green cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I cut two pieces of Basic White cardstock. I added one to the inside of the card and with the other one I slipped it inside the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I adhered it to the front of the card.
I then cut a piece of Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP) and adhered it to the front of the card. Then, I chose another pattern of Lovely Garden DSP and made a banner with using the Nested Essentials Dies. I then adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Garden Green ink and the stamp set, Beautiful Butterflies. I cut the sentiment out using the Spotlight on Nature Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
This next card was made with Fresh Freesia cardstock and Fresh Freesia ink.
