by Tracy | Feb 27, 2023 | Birthday Card
Today’s card was created using Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper, Friendly Gnomes stamp set, Gnomes Dies and the Best Day stamp set. I also used the Stylish Shapes Dies which are now back in stock but also on the Low Inventory List. The Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper is a free product you can earn during Sale-a-Bration (which ends tomorrow) with a $100 purchase.
Gnomes Dies Update: The Gnomes Dies are currently unavailable and are estimated to be back in stock the week of March 27th.


I started with a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut two pieces of Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I adhered one to the inside of the card. With the other piece, I ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using one of the Basic 3D Embossing Folders (available March 1st). Then I adhered it to the card front.


I layered a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock with a piece of Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper and then adhered it to the left side of the card base. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Basic 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered this to a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the front of the card.



I stamped the sentiment in Highland Heather ink onto Basic White cardstock and then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies (the die was longer than I needed so I stamped towards the right and then trimmed off the length). Then, I stamped the gnome in Memento Ink onto Basic White cardstock and colored her with these Stampin’ Blends:
- Highland Heather
- Daffodil Delight
- Fresh Freesia
- Ivory
I cut her out with the Gnomes Dies and then adhered her to the sentiment. Then, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the gnome and the sentiment and placed them on the front of the card.


To complete my card, I added three Glossy Dots to the card.

Today’s card features the Friendly Gnomes stamp set and the Gnomes Dies.The Gnomes Dies debuted in the July- December Holiday Catalog but are currently out of stock (they should be available again the week of March 27th). These are the same dies that coordinated with the Kindest Gnomes stamp set (also in the Holiday Catalog but has retired) but now coordinate with the Friendly Gnomes stamp set that was used on my card today!


I started with a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Painted Texture Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.


Next, I cut a piece of Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper and layered it with a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). After adhering it to the front of the card, I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut a scalloped circle out of Sweet Sorbet cardstock and a circle out of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the two pieces together and then set it aside.


I stamped the gnome from the stamp set, Friendly Gnomes, in Memento ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock. I colored the gnome in using these Stampin’ Blends:
- Sweet Sorbet Light – I went over these areas several times to get the shade I wanted
- Petal Pink Light
- Balmy Blue Light
- Soft Suede Light
I cut the gnome out using the Gnomes Dies. Next, I stamped the sentiment, also from the Friendly Gnomes stamp set, in Sweet Sorbet Ink and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment behind the gnome and then adhered both to the Basic White circle. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Sweet Sorbet scalloped circle and adhered it to the front of the card. I then placed three 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots around the gnome.

To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

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 added strips of Regency Park Designer Series Paper using two different designs and adhered them to the card base.


Next, I stamped the flowers and leaves in the Beautifully Happy stamp set in Memento Ink and then colored them using these Stampin’ Blends:
- Balmy Blue Light and Dark
- Granny Apple Green Light and Dark
- Daffodil Delight Dark

After I colored the flowers and leaves I cut them out using the Stylish Shapes Dies (these dies have been out of stock but are estimated to be in the week of February 13, 2023). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it in the center of the card.

I then stamped the sentiment in Memento ink and cut it out with Stylish Shapes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the lower right hand corner. To complete my card, I added three Glossy Dots which add a lot of sparkle to the card!

Today I have another card using the Adorable Owls stamp set. I also used Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper and the Gingham Embossing Folder. Both the Adorable Owls stamp set and the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper are free with a qualifying purchase during Sale-a-Bration. Read on for more information!



I started with a piece Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I layered a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock with a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Gingham Embossing Folder. Then, I adhered it to the front of the card.
Next, I layered another piece of Balmy Blue cardstock with Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. Dandy Designs is a HUGE pack of paper and you can earn it FREE with a $100 purchase.


I stamped the owl using the Adorable Owls stamp set in Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock. I colored the owl using these Stampin’ Blends:
- Crumb Cake Light and Dark
- Pool Party Light
- Balmy Blue Light
- Petal Pink Light
After coloring the owl, I cut him out using the Layering Circles Dies. Using these same dies, I cut a larger scalloped circle out of Balmy Blue and adhered the owl to it. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper.

I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Memento ink and the stamp set, Easter Bunny. I then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies (these dies have been out of stock for quite some time but Stampin’ Up! is estimating they’ll be back in stock the week of February 13th). I added adhesive to the top part of the sentiment only and adhered it to the Designer Series Paper layer.

I colored five rhinestones using my Dark Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend, although it’s hard to tell in the pictures. It’s so nice to be able to color rhinestones to match your card! I have to admit, I forgot about this trick!

Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper is a free gift you can choose when you make a $50 purchase.


I started with a piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock and scored it in two places (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). I cut two pieces of Basic White cardstock and placed them in the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then I adhered the larger piece to the left side and the smaller piece, on the right.


I cut another piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock and layered it with a piece of Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper. On the back, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right side and down the middle and then adhered it to the left panel. I stamped the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the Designer Series Paper. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
Here’s another version of the card but I used the Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder.
