by Tracy | Mar 14, 2024 | Hello Card
I have three cards to share with you today using Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (DSP), the Notes of Nature stamp set, Everyday Details Dies (these dies are currently unavailable but are expected to be back in stock the week of March 25th), and the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.
I send thank you cards with each order and I’ve been using the same design because I don’t want to send a card that someone has already received, so I change the card up a bit. You can see other varieties of this card here and here.
I started with a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card front.
Next, I layered a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock with a piece of Perennial Lavender DSP, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink using the stamp set, Notes of Nature onto Basic White cardstock and then cut it out using the Everyday Details Dies. Using Gorgeous Grape cardstock, I cut a larger rectangle using the Everyday Details Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the Gorgeous Grape rectangle and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals only to the part that wouldn’t hang off the DSP rectangle and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
Here’s another version using all the same products.
Here’s one more using Shaded Spruce cardstock and Shaded Spruce ink.

Today I have another card using Sunny Days Designer Series Paper (free during Saleabration with a $50 purchase). I also used the stamp set, Notes of Nature, and Thoughtful Expressions Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I cut a piece of Poppy Parade cardstock and two different patterns of Sunny Days Designer Series Paper (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I adhered the two pieces of Designer Series Paper to the Poppy Parade and then adhered the piece to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Poppy Parade ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Notes of Nature. Then, I cut it out using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies. I cut the same shape but larger out of Pool Party cardstock. I layered the two pieces together, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card! This is a quick and easy card to make!

The best time to purchase the Starter Kit is during Sale-A-Bration!! The Starter Kit is $99 and you’ll receive $125 in Stampin’ Up! product (shipping is always free when you purchase the Starter Kit)! The Starter Kit is truly for anyone! It’s for the person who wants to receive a 20% (to start) discount when they buy their Stampin’ Up! products. It’s also for the business minded person. There’s no risk in purchasing the Starter Kit, only perks and you get to choose what you want to add to your Starter Kit. But wait, there’s more!
When I purchased the Starter Kit in 2009, I bought it just so I could get the discount. In 2009 you didn’t have the freedom to choose the products you wanted, it came with set products. I love that Stampin’ Up! gives you the chance to now customize your kit so that you pick the products you love and know you will use. For more information about the Starter Kit, you can take a look here for some frequently asked questions. You are also welcome to email me with any questions (click EMAIL ME on the sidebar).
You have two options during Sale-a-Bration:
Option 1: Choose the Stampin’ Glass Mat Studio (Retail Value $60). If you choose this option, Stampin’ Up! will send this to you, absolutely FREE!
The heavy-duty glass mat comes printed with a ruler and grid lines for easy measuring, while the large surface space gives ample room for spreading out while paper crafting. The safety-tempered glass has a heat and scratch resistant surface that wipes clean with the included cloth and water—no chemicals needed. The reusable cloth also cleans ink off your stamps! The nonslip, heat resistant, waterproof silicone mat features four palette squares for mixing custom ink colors or for holding small ink spots in place while crafting. Each component can be used separately or you can use all three items together for a multipurpose paper crafting studio that’s both functional and elegant.

The card I’m sharing today was made with Stampin’ Up! Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (DSP), Notes of Nature stamp set, Thoughtful Expressions Dies and Gold Stampin’ Embossing Powder.
I started with a piece of Highland Heather cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I added a layer of Fresh Freesia cardstock and Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper.
I heat embossed my sentiment using the Notes of Nature stamp set and then cut it out using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies. I cut a larger shape out of out Fresh Freesia cardstock and adhered the sentiment to the front. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy (an anti-static pouch that can be found in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit) over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder. Stamp your sentiment or image using a Versamark pad. This is very sticky ink and your embossing powder will stick right to it. Sprinkle embossing powder over the stamped image and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so your paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image becomes shiny and beautiful!
