The card I’m sharing with you today was created using the Stampin’ Up! stamp set, Full of Love, and Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper. This paper is free with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration. I absolutely LOVE this paper.
I started with a base of Basic Black cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then, I cut two pieces of Fresh Freesia cardstock and placed them inside the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder and ran them through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. After adhering them to the base of the card, I cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock and Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper. I layered the two pieces together, 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, Full of Love, and Memento ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Meadow Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the center of the card.
I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card and then added two Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems to each side of the sentiment.

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 Symbols of Fortune 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper, the Inspired Thoughts stamp set, Meadow Dies and Soft Succulent Satin Shimmer Ribbon.
I started with a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock for my card base. Then I adhered a piece of Symbols of Fortune Designer Series Paper to a piece of Soft Succulent cardstock. Before adhering this piece to the card base, I wrapped a piece of Soft Succulent 1/2″ Satin Shimmer Ribbon (this ribbon is beautiful!!) around the layers and tied a knot.
I stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen ink using the stamp set Inspired Thoughts and then cut it out with the Meadow Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the card. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Today’s card features the All Squared Away Bundle which is on sale this month! This bundle includes the All Squared Away stamp set and the Floral Squares Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for my card base. I layered a piece of Just Jade cardstock with a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder. Before adhering it to the card base, I wrapped Just Jade ribbon (included in the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack) around the two pieces and tied a knot. On a side note, I LOVE the White ribbon in the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack. It’s wider than the other white ribbon in the catalog and it’s easy to tie in a knot and looks so pretty on a card. The Just Jade ribbon is also easy to tie (if it isn’t easy to tie, then I usually don’t use it).
On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the piece behind the flower (“bubbles”) using the All Squared Away stamp set in Just Jade ink and then trimmed it leaving a border around the edges. I used the Floral Squares Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then adhered it to the piece I just trimmed. Then both of those pieces were layered onto a piece of Just Jade cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Just Jade ink using the stamp set Boughs & Blossoms and then cut it out using a die from the Meadows Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the card. If you would like to make today’s card, you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.
Just Jade is one of five colors that will be retiring this year (sigh). If you need cardstock, ink refills, Stampin’ Blends, or an ink pad for any of these colors, I’d recommend purchasing them now. Once the retiring list is out (later this month) the products in all the retiring colors usually sell out quickly. To see the products for each color, click on each color below.
