Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper

by | Jul 15, 2025 | Thank You Card

The card I’m sharing with you today was made using Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper, the Textured Notes Bundle, Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder and Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots. 

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of the card. 

 

 

 

Next, I layered a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock with a piece of Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper. Then, I adhered it to the front of the card. 

 

 

 

I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Textured Notes stamp set in Blackberry Bliss ink. I cut it out using the Textured Notes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals only to the part that would be sitting on the Bubble Bath/ Celebratory Sips DSP layer. 

To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card. I also added two Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots in Bubble Bath to each end of the sentiment and three more to the embossed cardstock.

Happy Hibiscus Bundle – Another Card

by | Jun 11, 2025 | Kindness Card

I made today’s card out of the Happy Hibiscus Bundle, Stylish Shapes Dies and Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots. The Happy Hibiscus Bundle is an Online Exclusive and it comes with the Happy Hibiscus stamp set and the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folders which comes with eleven dies. I made another card on Monday using this bundle and you can see it here. 

If my links don’t work, please try them again! 

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder, and then I adhered it to the front of my card. 

 

 

 

I die cut four leaves out of Granny Apple Green cardstock (the leaf die is included in the Hybrid Embossing Folder) and then I cut two hibiscus flowers out of Basic White cardstock (you can’t tell from the above picture, but there is a way to cut three flowers out of one die – I saved the others for another project).

I used my small blending brush and the Flirty Flamingo ink pad on a piece of Grid Paper and blended the color onto the two hibiscus flowers. Once I was finished, I set them aside. 

I cut the largest circle in the Stylish Shapes Dies out of Basic White cardstock and I stamped the sentiment ( in the Happy Hibiscus stamp set) towards the bottom of the circle in Flirty Flamingo ink. 

 

 

 

I adhered the flowers to the top of the circle placing one leaf under the left hibiscus. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the circle and adhered it to the front of the card. Then, I added the three other leaves, slipping them behind the circle.

To complete my card, I added five Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots in Flirty Flamingo onto the card front and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper

by | Apr 28, 2025 | Thank You Card

I’m sharing three cards with you today and one has a new product that will available for purchase on May 6th, Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper #165175. The products I used on all the cards are the Spotlight on Nature Bundle and the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.

For this first one I used Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper (available May 6. 2025) and Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems.

My links still aren’t working correctly. If the link doesn’t bring you to the product, please click again and possibly a third time. I have to call Stampin’ Up! about my links not working correctly. All of the products I’ve used, with the exception of the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper, are current so it shouldn’t say, “Out With the Old, In With the New”. I know it’s a pain to click on the links two or three times. 

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Summer Splash cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I dry embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the embossed Basic White cardstock to the the base of my card. 

 

 

 

I cut two smaller pieces of Summer Splash cardstock and layered them with Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper (available May 6th). I used Multipurpose Glue to adhere the vertical one and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the horizontal one and adhered it to the front of the card.

 

 

 

 

I stamped the sentiment in Summer Splash ink using the Spotlight on Nature stamp set. Then, I cut it out using the Spotlight on Nature dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. 

To complete my card, I added three Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems to the front and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside. 

For these next two cards I used the exact same products but I used the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots and Floral Delight Designer Series Paper.

I used Lemon Lolly cardstock for this first card, Garden Green ink and Lemon Lolly Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots. 

 

 

 

 

 

I used Pool Party cardstock for this last card, Pool Party ink and Pool Party Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots.
