Today’s cards were made using Dandy Designs 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and you can choose it FREE with a $100 purchase during Sale-a-Bration! It’s a whopping big package and contains 48 sheets of paper!! Sale-a-Bration begins on January 5th, the same day the new Mini Catalog goes live. Sale-a-Bration will last until February 28th and in the past several years we’ve had a second round of Sale-a-Bration later in the year but for 2023, this will be the only Sale-a-Bration.
The new products on my cards are:
- Dandy Designs 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper #160836 (free with a $100 order during Sale-a-Bration)
- Nested Friends Stamp Set #160322
- Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems #160412

I started with a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock and then added a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder. Then I cut another piece of Balmy Blue cardstock and adhered a piece of Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper to the front. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card, over to the left.


I stamped the sentiment in Balmy Blue ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Nested Friends. I cut it out using the Stitched Rectangles Dies and also cut a larger one out of Balmy Blue cardstock. I adhered the two pieces together, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card (I didn’t add Dimensionals on the part that hangs off).

To complete my card, I added three Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems below the sentiment and adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
Here’s two more versions of the card and both were also made with Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper. This first one was made with Fresh Freesia cardstock, Fresh Freesia ink and the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.



This next card was made with Balmy Blue cardstock, Balmy Blue ink and the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder .

Today’s card is a fun fold using Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper, Cup of Tea stamp set and Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder. You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.


I started with a base of Night of Navy cardstock. Then I cut a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock, scored it and adhered it to the base (with the flap at the bottom). I adhered a piece of Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper to the inside – I love the colors in this paper!


Next, I cut a piece of Night of Navy cardstock, scored it and folded it in half. Then I “opened” the Balmy Blue piece, centered the Night of Navy piece and adhered it to the Designer Series Paper.
I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder. I then adhered it to the Balmy Blue flap.
I adhered another piece of Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper to the front of the Night of Navy folded piece and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.


I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut a larger scalloped circle out of Balmy Blue cardstock and adhered the sentiment to it. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.

The card below was made using all the same measurements but the Night of Navy piece is a little narrower with a measurement of 8-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″. The Designer Series Paper measures 4″ x 2-1/4″.

The card I’m sharing today was made using the True Beauty Bundle (you always save 10% when you purchase a bundle) which includes the True Beauty stamp set and the Organic Beauty Dies. I also used Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper.


I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Melon Mambo cardstock that I embossed using the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder. Next, I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a scalloped rectangle out of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment onto the rectangle in Garden Green ink using the stamp set, True Beauty. The center flower was cut out of the Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper using the Organic Beauty Dies.


I used the stamp set, True Beauty to stamp the other flowers in Daffodil Delight ink and the leaves in Garden Green ink. I cut them out with the Organic Beauty Dies. I used Mini Glue Dots to attach the leaves to the underside of each flower. I glued the Daffodil Delight flowers to the rectangle but added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the the back of the Melon Mambo flower. To complete the card, I aded three Glossy Dots to the front of the card.
