by Tracy | Feb 25, 2026 | Thank You Card
To make my thank you card, I used Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper, the Banner Sayings Bundle (an Online Exclusive, Beautiful Pattern 3D Embossing Folder (an Online Exclusive) and Purple Fine Shimmer Gems. You can see another variation, here.
I started off with Berry Burst cardstock base (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I cut another piece of Berry Burst cardstock and embossed it, using the Beautiful Pattern 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered it to the back panel.
I cut a piece of Secret Sea cardstock and scored it in the middle (you can find the exact measurement, I used below the Supply List). I cut two pieces of Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper and adhered one to the outside panel and another one to the front of Secret Sea cardstock. I then adhered the Secret Sea cardstock to the inside of the card making sure the flap is on the outside of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Banner Sayings Stamp Set in Berry Burst ink. When I use the Three Banner Punch, I like to cut out all the banners and I keep them in a bowl beside my craft table, so I stamped directly on the banner. I adhered the sentiment to the Florals in Bloom Designer Series, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card and added two Purple Fine Shimmer Gems in Berry Burst to each end of the sentiment and three more to the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper.

I die cut a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Perennial Postage Dies using the largest die in the set. I then adhered it to the front of the card. I stamped the flowers using the Mixed Florals Stamp Set in Memento Ink and then cut them out using the Mixed Florals Dies.
Next, I colored the flowers (using Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends), the leaves (using Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends) and the smaller flowers (using Boho Blue Stampin’ Blends). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment on Basic White cardstock using the Beautiful Butterflies Stamp Set and Highland Heather ink. I cut it out using the second smallest die in the Perennial Postage Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to just the top of the sentiment and adhered it to the flowers.
To complete my card, I added three large Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the front of the card.

Before sharing my card with you today, I wanted to let you know that the Paper Pumpkin site will shut down today and tomorrow it will back up on the Stampin’ Up! website where you can access your subscription!
The card I’m sharing with you today was created using the Everyday Arches Dies, Memorable Blooms Bundle, the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder and Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.
I started with a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered it to the front of the card.
I cut out an arch using the Everyday Arches Dies out of Basic White cardstock and then adhered it to the front of the card. I stamped the flowers onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Tuxedo Memento ink and the Memorable Blooms stamp set. I then cut it out using the Memorable Blooms Dies ( I usually cut it out last but I hate when I’ve colored the flowers and I mess up the cutting). I colored the flowers using Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the arch.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Highland Heather ink and the stamp set, Memorable Blooms. I then cut it out using the smallest die in the Everyday Arches Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it down near the stem.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added three larger Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the arch.

by Tracy | Feb 3, 2025 | Fun Fold Card, Happy for You
The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the Linked Together Bundle (which incudes the Linked Together stamp set, Linked Together dies and Linked Together Decorative Masks – I didn’t use the masks on my card). I also used Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.
I started with a piece of Highland Heather cardstock for the base of my card and then scored it in two places (you can the measurements I used below the Supply List). I burnished the score lines with my bone folder.
I cut two pieces of Perennial Lavender DSP and adhered them to the front flaps. Then I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Gorgeous Grape ink and the stamp set, Linked Together. I cut the sentiment out using the Linked Together Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the top of the sentiment and adhered it to the top flap.
Using the Linked Together Dies I cut two flowers out of Highland Heather cardstock and two more flowers out of Gorgeous Grape cardstock. I adhered them together with Multipurpose Glue (on the bottom flower) and then adhered them to the sentiment. I added a Purple Fine Shimmer Gem to the middle of each flower.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
