by Tracy | May 30, 2025 | Just a Note card
The card I’m sharing with you today was made with the same layout on Wednesday’s card and Thursday’s card.
For today’s card, I used Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper (an Online Exclusive), the Simply Said Stamp Set, Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder, Stylish Shapes Dies, and Silver & White Sheer Ribbon (an Online Exclusive).
If you get a 404 error or Out with the Old, In With the New error, please click the link again.
I started with Berry Burst 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. Next, I adhered the Basic White cardstock to the front of the card.
I layered a piece of Berry Burst cardstock and Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper together. I wrapped a piece of Silver & White Sheer Ribbon around the layer and tied a knot. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back but made sure the ribbon was over to the far left, so the sentiment would fit. I added the layered piece to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment on Basic White cardstock using Berry Burst ink. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Then, I cut another circle out of Berry Burst cardstock (the next largest size) and adhered the sentiment to the front. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the top and bottom and adhered it over the ribbon.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

by Tracy | Jul 18, 2024 | Happy Birthday Card
Today’s card was made using the Pocket Thoughts Bundle which includes the Pocket Thoughts stamp set and the Pocket Thoughts Dies. I also used Thoughtful Designs 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper.
I started with a base of Petunia Pop cardstock. I made the pocket using the Pocket Thoughts Dies and Thoughtful Designs Designer Series Paper. I added Tear & Tape to the pocket edges and then adhered it to a piece of Basic White cardstock. Next, I added the entire piece to the front of the card.
I stamped the cupcake in Memento Black ink and then colored the cupcake using Stampin’ Blends: Dark Lemon Lolly and both Light & Dark Petunia Pop. I cut the cupcake out using one of the circles in the Stylish Shapes Dies and then adhered it to the front of the pocket.
I stamped the sentiment in Petunia Pop ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Pocket Thoughts stamp set. I cut it out using a smaller circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it beside the cupcake.
I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below) and used a hole punch to punch a hole at the top. Then, I put a piece of Silver & White ribbon through the hole and tied the ribbon off using White Baker’s Twine. After doing that, I trimmed the ends of the ribbon and twine. I adhered the gift card to the Basic White cardstock using Mini Glue Dots.
To complete my card I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card and added three Shimmer Gems around the cupcake and sentiment in Petunia Pop.

by Tracy | Dec 12, 2023 | Thank You Card
Today’s thank you card was created using the Layering Leaves stamp set, Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper and Silver & White Sheer Ribbon (this ribbon is beautiful in person!). I’ve shared other variations of this card and you can see them here and here.
I started with a piece of Blueberry Bushel cardstock for the base of my card. I adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card and with another piece, I stamped the sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink using the stamp set, Layered Leaves. I adhered the stamped piece to the front of the card.
I cut another piece of Blueberry Bushel cardstock and layered it with a piece of Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper. Then, I wrapped the Silver & White Sheer Ribbon around the middle and tied a knot. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card! This is a very quick and easy card to make!
