by Tracy | May 12, 2025 | Birthday Card
I hope you all had a good weekend! I needed to make a birthday card for my brother-in-law and I’m sharing that card with you today. I made it with Country Woods Designer Series Paper, With You in Mind Stamp Set and the Textured Notes Dies.
Both the Textured Notes Dies and the With You in Mind Stamp Set can be found in the Online Exclusives section of the Stampin’ Up! website.
I started with a piece of Pool Party cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I added a layer of Country Woods Designer Series Paper to the front of the card. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, With You In Mind, in Misty Moonlight ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Textured Notes Dies. Then, I cut the next larger size and cut it out with Pool Party cardstock.
I adhered the sentiment to the Pool Party rectangle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside. I hope my brother-in-law likes the card I made him!

The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the Textured Notes Bundle (back in stock after being unavailable- this product is an Online Exclusive), Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper (this product is also an Online Exclusive) and Opal Rounds Assortment.
I started with a piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I cut a piece of Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the base of my card. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.
I cut a piece of Garden Green cardstock using the Textured Notes Dies and a smaller one in Basic White cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment in Garden Green ink onto the Basic White rectangle using the Textured Notes Stamp Set and then stamped the leaves also using the Textured Notes stamp set. When I stamped the leaves, I did one in full strength and for the other, I inked it up, and stamped onto my grid paper and then stamped (to create a shadow effect). This is called “stamping off”.
I adhered the sentiment to the green rectangle, add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three Opal Rounds in Daffodil Delight, and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

My card today was made using the Gallery Blooms Bundle #165213 (available on May 6th, when the new Annual Catalog goes live), Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder, the Textured Notes Bundle and Two-Tone Sparkle Gems.
I started with a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I adhered it to the card base.
I used the Textured Notes Dies (the second largest one) to cut a rectangle out of Bubble Bath cardstock and then I embossed it using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the front of the card. The Textured Notes Bundle is an Online Exclusive.
I stamped the flowers onto Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink. Then, I cut it out using the Gallery Blooms Dies (I like to cut it out before I color it). I colored it using my Stampin’ Blends: Bubble Bath (both light & dark) and Granny Apple Green (both light and dark). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front (I did have to cut a Stampin’ Dimensional in half to adhere the upper left leaf down).
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Textured Notes stamp set in Petunia Pop ink. I cut it out using the Textured Notes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added three Two-Tone Sparkle Gems around the flowers. These gems don’t look as good in pictures but they are so pretty in person. They have shades of Bubble Bath and Balmy Blue and they are very pretty on Bubble Bath cardstock.
