The card I’m sharing today was made using a new Stampin’ Up! stamp set from the January – June Mini Catalog called Best Day. This was a stamp set that jumped out at me and I had to get it. I also used Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper which can be chosen as a free gift when you purchase $100 in Stampin’ Up! product. This is a huge package of paper with 48 sheets!
I started with a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a layer of Basic White cardstock, Fresh Freesia cardstock and Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card base.
I stamped the kitty in Memento ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock and then colored it using these Stampin’ Blends:
- Light & Dark Gray Granite
- Dark Fresh Freesia
- Dark Petal Pink
- Light Daffodil Delight
I cut the kitty out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink using the Best Day stamp set and adhered it underneath the kitty. I added five rhinestones to the front (three small and two big) to the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

I stamped the piggy using Memento Ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock and then colored him with these Stampin’ Blends: Petal Pink (Light and Dark), Crumb Cake (Light), Fresh Freesia (Dark), Granny Apple Green (Dark), Daffodil Delight (Dark). Then I cut the piggy out using the Playful Piggy Dies and adhered him to the front of the card.

The card I’m sharing today was made using the Apple Harvest Bundle which will be available beginning September 1st during the Perfect Partners Promotion! Six new dies will be introduced on September 1st that coordinate with sets in our Annual and Mini Catalogs. The dies can be purchased separately or in a bundle with the coordinating stamp set. BUT, these dies are only available during the month of September and while supplies last!
Click the image below for the Perfect Partners Promotion flyer or HERE (there are two pages).
My card was created using the Apple Harvest stamp set (you can find it in the Mini Catalog) and the Apple Blossoms Dies which will be available on September 1st. The Apple Blossoms Bundle (162526) includes both of these products and you’ll save 10% when you purchase any Stampin’ Up! bundle.
I started with a piece of Granny Green cardstock for the base of my card. Then I adhered two squares of In Color 2022-2024 Designer Series Paper (in Parakeet Party) to a piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered it to the card front.
I stamped the apples and leaves in Memento Ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set Apple Harvest. The apples were colored using Real Red Stampin’ Blends (Light & Dark) and the leaves were colored with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (Light & Dark). The stems were colored with Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends (Light). I cut them out with the Apple Blossoms Dies #160255 (available on September 1st) and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a scalloped rectangle out of Basic White cardstock. Then, I stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink (using the Apple Harvest stamp set) towards the bottom of the rectangle. I adhered the apples to the rectangle and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside to complete the card.

I started with a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Gingham Embossing Folder.

I used Linen Thread to make a bow and then added a Mini Glue Dot to the back and adhered it to the flower image.

Today I’m sharing several variations of cards I shared last month. Once I have a card design I like, I try to change it up a bit with different colors or Designer Series Paper. Do you do that too?
I’m in love with the New Horizons Designer Series Paper. This paper makes is so easy to create an easy but pretty card! For this first card, I used a different design than my original card which you can see here (you can find the measurements and supplies I used too). The only thing I did differently is that I used Blackberry Bliss cardstock but other than that, all the supplies and measurements are the same.
These next two cards were made using the Sale-a-Bration stamp set, Friendly Hello. This stamp set can be earned free during Sale-a-Bration with a $100 order and it includes a package of Friendly Hello 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. You can see the original card here (you also find a free tutorial) for measurements I used but I’ll include the supplies for these next two cards down below because I changed up what I used.
This first card has a base of Fresh Freesia cardstock and I used Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper. I stamped the bird and sentiment using Memento Ink and then colored the bird and flowers using these Stampin’ Blends: Balmy Blue (Light & Dark), Fresh Freesia (Light & Dark), Crumb Cake (Light), Daffodil Delight (Dark) and Mossy Meadow (Light). I colored the Polished Dots using the Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend.
This next card has a base of Balmy Blue cardstock. I used Simply Marbleous 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper which is also a Sale-a-Bration gift you can choose with a $50 purchase. I colored the bird using the same Stampin’ Blends as I did for the card above. I colored the Polished Dots using the Dark Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend.
Sale-a-Bration ends on February 28, 2022! Below are all the products you can choose from with every $50 or $100 purchase (before tax/shipping). Click on each product for more information.
