Today’s card features the Cottage Wreaths Bundle which includes the Cottage Wreaths stamp set and the Country Wreaths Dies. Yesterday I shared another card using this bundle and you can see it here if you missed it.
I started with a piece of Soft Succulent cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a layer of Basic White cardstock after embossing it using the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
I stamped the wreath from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Soft Succulent ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock and cut it out using the Country Wreaths Dies. Next, I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock. I laid the wreath on top of the square so I could see where I wanted to stamp my sentiment and then stamped it in Cajun Craze ink using the Cottage Wreaths stamp set.
I layered the Basic White square onto a piece of Soft Succulent cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I also added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the wreath and placed it on the stitched square.
I used the Country Wreaths Dies to cut the bow out of Cajun Craze cardstock. I added some Multipurpose Glue to the back and placed it on the wreath and added a Iridescent Pearl to the center. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Today’s card was created using the Blessings of Home Bundle which includes the Blessings of Home stamp set and the Flowers of Home Dies. I also used the stamp set, By My Side for the sentiment.
I started with a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a layer of Basic White cardstock and a piece of In Color 2022-2023 In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper in Fresh Freesia. I embossed a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock using the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder and adhered it to a piece of Basic White cardstock and then placed it on the front of the card.
I used the Blessings of Home stamp set to stamp the flowers onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink. I colored it using Stampin’ Blends: Fresh Freesia, Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight. I cut it out using the Flowers of Home Dies and then adhered it to a layer of Balmy Blue and Basic White cardstock which I then adhered to the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a pice of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, By My Side, and Memento ink and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it below the flowers.

Today I have two cards that are variations of a card I shared last week. You can see that card HERE. You can refer to that post for directions on how to make the card and the measurements. For the versions today, I used Texture Chic Designer Series Paper, Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Cup of Tea.
This first card was made using Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper and the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. All the cards today were made using our Festive Pearls and I embossed the sentiments using gold embossing powder.
For these next cards I used Texture Chic Designer Series Paper and the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. Our Festive Pearls come in four colors: Cherry Cobbler, Soft Succulent, Silver and Gold. I used the gold pearls for all of the cards today except for the one below and I used the Soft Succulent pearls. The Festive Pearls have been very popular and keep going in and out of stock. If you’ve had your eye on them, I’d recommend getting them as soon as you can.
This only difference between the previous card and this one is that I used the gold pearls.
For this last one, instead of using Gold Foil for the decorative circle, I used Pool Party cardstock.
I find it really fun to take a card design I like and then try using different paper and cardstock and even a different sentiment. I hope you’ll give this card design a try!

Before sharing today’s card, I just found out that this Thursday, September 15th, Stampin’ Up! is having a 24 Hour, 15% off stamp sale on every single stamp set from the Annual Catalog (host stamp sets are not included in the sale). Get your shopping list ready! Click HERE for a list of all the stamps, item numbers and sale prices.
Details
- Sale Begins on September 15th at 12:00 am (Mountain Time)
- Sale ends on September 15th at 11:59 pm (Mountain Time)
- Save 15% on all stamp sets in the Annual Catalog
- Host sets are excluded from the sale
- Available while supplies last
- This stamp sale only happens once a year!
Today’s card was created using Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Speedy Recovery (this stamp set will be on sale Thursday). I also did some embossing which always takes a card up a notch!
I started with a piece of Petal Pink cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut two pieces of Texture Chic Designer Series Paper and a piece of Petal Pink cardstock, all the same size (you can find the measurements below the Supply List). I placed the Petal Pink inside the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered all three pieces to a piece of Basic White cardstock and then adhered that piece to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Versamark ink and the stamp set, Speedy Recovery. I sprinkled gold embossing powder over the sentiment and then heat embossed it (you can find directions for heat embossing below). I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I used the Painted Labels Dies to cut the decorative circle out of Gold Foil and then adhered the sentiment to the front. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
To complete my card, I added three Festive Pearls, in gold, to the front.
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 is transformed (it will be shiny)!

Last week I featured the Basic Borders Dies and I couldn’t help but play with them again using Texture Chic Designer Series Paper. I have two cards to share with you.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Before adhering it to the front of the card, I placed a piece of Petal Pink cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) inside the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I like using bright colors and Petal Pink isn’t one of my favorites but I have to say I love it with this paper!
I used the Basic Borders Dies to cut a piece of Texture Chic Designer Series Paper and then adhered it to the front of the card. Next, I heat embossed the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using gold embossing powder (found in a set called Metallics Embossing Powders), Versamark ink and the stamp set, Cup of Tea. If you’ve never heat embossed before (you’ll love it and it’s easy), you can find the directions below. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and then cut another larger stitched circle out of Gold Foil. I adhered the sentiment to the foil circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card.
To complete my card, I added three Festive Pearls to the front of the card. These pearls have been on backorder but are now back in stock!
Here’s one more card I made and although you might think it’s the same card, the design of the paper is different.
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 is transformed (it will be shiny)!
