Happy Valentine’s Day!
Today’s card was created using Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper, the So Sincere stamp set, Paper Butterfly Accents, Deckled Rectangles Dies and one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders.
I started with Gorgeous Grape cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and then I adhered it to the front of the card.
Next I cut a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock and Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper with the Deckled Rectangles Dies. I adhered the Fresh Freesia rectangle at an angle and then adhered the DSP rectangle.
I stamped my sentiment on Basic White cardstock using Gorgeous Grape ink and the stamp set, So Sincere. I cut it out using the Deckled Rectangles Dies. I didn’t use Stampin’ Dimensionals for this card (shock!!!) and adhered it to the Designer Series Paper. You can’t add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the butterfly, which is why I didn’t pop up the sentiment with Dimensionals.
I used a Blending Brush to add color to my butterfly (there are 40 butterflies in one package of Paper Butterfly Accents) with Fresh Freesia ink. Then, I added Multipurpose Glue to the back and placed it on my card. To finish my card, I added three Purple Fine Glimmer Gems and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Today’s card was created using the Nested Essentials Dies, the stamp set, So Sincere, Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper and one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders.
I started with a piece of Basic Black cardstock for the base of my card. Then I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders. I then cut three banners using the Nested Essentials Dies out of Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper using two different designs and three smaller ones, again using two different designs. I adhered the smaller ones to the larger ones and then adhered them to the embossed cardstock. I wrapped a piece of white Baker’s Twine around the card and tied a bow. Then, I adhered the piece to the card base.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Memento ink and the stamp set, So Sincere. I cut it out using the Nested Essentials Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three Classic Matte Dots in black to the front of the card and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Today’s card is a variation of one I made last week and you can see that card here. Today’s card was made with the So Sincere stamp set, Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper, Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and the Stylish Shapes Dies. Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper is not available at the moment but is expected to be back in stock the week of September 25th. I think this paper is so pretty and it doesn’t have to be used just for Christmas cards!
I started with a piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock for the base of my card. Then I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (currently on the Low Inventory List) and adhered it to the front of the card. I cut two more pieces of Orchid Oasis cardstock and two pieces of Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper and adhered them together. I adhered the long, skinny piece to the front of the card but added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the square and then adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Moody Mauve ink onto Basic White cardstock and cut it out with the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a larger circle out of Orchid Oasis cardstock using the same dies and adhered the two pieces together. Then I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three 2022-2024 In Color Pearls to the front and adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
