The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the Textured Notes Stamp Set (an Online Exclusive), Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper (an Online Exclusive), Stylish Shapes Dies, Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder (an Online Exclusive) and Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots (an Online Exclusive).
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock (can be found in Online Exclusives) for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered it to the front of the card.
I layered a piece of Berry Burst cardstock with Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the front of the card. I cut three circles (using the third largest die in the Stylish Shapes Dies) out of Berry Burst, Bubble Bath and Granny Apple Green cardstock. I then embossed them using the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder. I popped the circles up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Textured Notes stamp set in Berry Burst ink. I layered the sentiment onto a piece of Berry Burst cardstock. Then, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals on to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added two Berry Burst Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots to each end of the sentiment.

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.

The card I’m sharing with you today was made using Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper, the Textured Notes Bundle, the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, White Woven 1/2″ Woven Ribbon and Drusy Adhesive Backed Embellishments.
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.

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.
