I’m sharing two cards today that use the same layout as my card on Tuesday. You can see Tuesday’s card, here. I changed the Designer Series Paper and the embossing folder. On the first card, I used Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper (an Online Exclusive) and Low Profile Sparkle Dots (an Online Exclusive). On the second card I used Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper (an Online Exclusive) and Low Profile Dots (an Online Exclusive). With both of the cards I used the Textured Notes Bundle (an Online Exclusive) and the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder.
I started off with a piece of Old Olive cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I layered a piece of Painterly Pears DSP to a piece of Old Olive cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive ink onto Basic White cardstock and then cut it out using the Textured Notes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment, only the part that would be on the DSP/Old Olive layer.
To complete my card, I added two Low Profile Sparkle Dots in Mossy Meadow to each end of the sentiment and added a piece of Basic White to the inside of the card.
For this next card, I used Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper and Low Profile Dots in gold. I also used Strawberry Slush cardstock and Strawberry Slush ink.

I started with Fresh Freesia cardstock for the base of my card. I then, adhered a piece of Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper to the front of the card. Next, I used the Textured Notes Dies and cut a rectangle out of Basic White cardstock.
I stamped using Memento Black Ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Mixed Florals stamp set. I colored the flowers and leaves using Stampin’ Blends: Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly and Balmy Blue.
I adhered the Basic White rectangle to front of the card and adhered the flowers to the rectangle. I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Fresh Freesia ink and cut it out using the Textured Notes Dies.

I completed my card by adding three Starburst Sequins in Fresh Freesia to the front of the card and I adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

I started with Darling Duckling cardstock (a new In Color) for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of the card.
I cut a piece of Darling Duckling cardstock and layered it with a piece of Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper. Next, I wrapped a piece of White 1/2″ Woven Ribbon around the layered piece and tied a knot. I trimmed off the ends and made sure to slide the ribbon over to the far left. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Garden Green ink and the stamp set, Textured Notes. I then cut it out using the Textured Notes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it over the ribbon.
To complete my card, I added two Drusy Adhesive-Backed Embellishments to each end of the sentiment and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
