Today’s card features the Petal Park Bundle which includes the Petal Park stamp set and Petal Park Builder Punch. I also used the Scalloped Contours Dies and 2022-2024 In Color Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is a sneak peek of the Irresistible Blooms stamp set that will be available on March 1st.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then I cut two pieces of In Color 2022-2024 Designer Series Paper in Sweet Sorbet and adhered one piece to the front of the card and the other on the inside.
I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then stamped the leaves onto the rectangle using my Parakeet Party ink pad. This is a two step stamp set which means one stamp has details and the other fills in with more color. I had to play around with these stamps for awhile to get the hang of them but I’m so happy with the results! I used the Irresistible Blooms stamp set and Memento Ink to stamp the sentiment in the lower left hand corner. On the back of the scalloped rectangle, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right side only (two vertical lines) and then adhered it to the front panel.
Next, I stamped the flowers onto a piece of Basic White cardstock. I did the flowers a little bit differently than the leaves. I stamped the outline of the flowers in full strength using Sweet Sorbet ink. Then I inked up the other stamp but stamped off on a piece of scrap paper and then stamped. Otherwise, it would have been way too dark. Then, I cut the flowers out using the Petal Park Builder Punch. I added a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional to the back of the smallest flower and added our regular sized ones to the other two and placed them amongst the leaves.
I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card and then added three Iridescent Pearls to the the center of the flowers.

Happy Friday!!
Today’s card was created using Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper, Fragrant Flowers Dies and the Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder. Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper can be earned FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration!
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a strip of Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the front of the card. I cut a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock, placed it inside the Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I then adhered it to the bottom of the card base.
I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a scalloped rectangle out of Basic White cardstock. Then I used the Fragrant Flowers Dies to cut the flowers out on one of the patterns in the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper. I love when we can use the dies to cut a shape out of our paper! I adhered the flowers to the scalloped rectangle and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the rectangle and placed it on the front of my card.
I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Limited Edition stamp set. I cut it out using the All That Dies. I added adhesive just to the part of the sentiment that would be “sitting” on the scalloped rectangle. To complete my card I added three (two small and one large) Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots.

Today’s card features the very adorable, Adorable Owls stamp set. I also used the stamp set, Around the Bend (for the sentiment and can be purchased in either cling or photopolymer) and Enjoy the Journey Designer Series Paper. The Adorable Owls stamp set can be earned, FREE, with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration!
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I layered a piece of Enjoy the Journey Designer Series Paper with a piece of Pale Papaya cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the cute owl onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento ink then cut it out using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I also used these dies to cut a larger scalloped rectangle out of Basic White cardstock. I colored the owl using these Stampin’ Blends:
- Crumb Cake Light and Dark (body)
- Pool Party Light (eyes)
- Balmy Blue Light (eyes)
- Pale Papaya Light (beak and feet)
After I colored the owl, I stamped the sentiment using Memento Ink below the owl. Then, I adhered the smaller rectangle to the larger one. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the larger rectangle and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added five Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots around the owl.

Today’s card features the Kindest Gnomes Bundle which includes the Kindest Gnomes stamp set and the Gnomes Dies. This was not a bundle I immediately purchased because I’m not really a “gnomes person”. But about a month ago my sister made the cutest gnomes to sell at a craft fair next month and after seeing her cute creations, I was hooked. Plus, I’ve seen so many cute gnome cards from fellow demonstrators. I’m hooked and had fun creating my first gnome card!
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a layer of Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper. Then I used that same design to cut a hat for my gnome using the Gnomes Dies.
Using the Scalloped Contours Dies, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used the Gnomes Dies to cut the beard out of Basic White cardstock, Petal Pink for the nose and Pacific Point for the feet. I adhered all those piece together, along with the hat and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered my gnome to the front of the card.
I heat embossed the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Silver Embossing Powder and then cut the sentiment out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered it below the gnome and tucked it under his feet. To complete my card, I added three Festive Pearls below the sentiment and added two more on the embossed rectangle (unfortunately the Festive Pearls are not available at the moment but should be back in stock the week of November 21st).
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!
Supply List
Below you’ll find all the Stampin’ Up! supplies I used for today’s card. If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your demonstrator! You can place an order by clicking any of the images below to go to my Stampin’ Up! online store.
