Before sharing today’s card with you, I want to remind you that all day today, Stampin’ Up! will pay to ship your orders of $75 or more (before tax). Yay!! Free shipping ends at 11:59 PM Mountain Time.
Today I’m sharing a sneak peek of some new products that you can purchase on January 4th! The new products are:
- Thoughtful Expressions Stamp Set #162815
- Thoughtful Expressions Dies #162821
- The first two products are in the Thoughtful Expressions Bundle #1622822
- Purple Fine Shimmer Gems #162611
I also used Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper and the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I cut two pieces of Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper and two pieces of Berry Burst cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I embossed the Berry Burst cardstock using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper is an Online Exclusive product and can’t be found in any catalog. Some Online Exclusive products will be restocked when sold out and others will not, we just don’t know, so if you see an Online Exclusive you love, grab it!
I adhered the Designer Series Paper and the embossed cardstock to the front of the card. I stamped the sentiment in Berry Burst ink to a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set Thoughtful Expressions (coming on January 4th) and cut it out with the Thoughtful Expressions Dies (coming January 4th). I then used the Thoughtful Expressions Dies to cut the same shape as the sentiment but the next larger size in Pretty Peacock cardstock. I adhered the two pieces together, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems (coming January 4th) around the sentiment and I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

All three of today’s cards were created using Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and the Apple Harvest stamp set. Using this same design, I created two other versions of this card with a Christmas theme that you can see here.
I started with a piece of Early Espresso cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I embossed a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and then adhered it to the base of the card.
I cut two pieces of Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper and layered them onto two pieces of Early Espresso cardstock. I adhered the vertical one with Multipurpose Glue but added Stampin’ Dimensional to the back of the horizontal one before placing it on the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using Early Espresso ink and the stamp set, Apple Harvest. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete the card, I added three Elegant Faceted Gems to the front and a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock to the inside.
For this next card, I used Smoky Slate and Basic White cardstock, the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and Iridescent Pearls.
For this last card, I used Early Espresso cardstock, the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and Elegant Faceted Gems.

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)!

The Specialty Plate is used with 3D Embossing Folders.
Measurements
- Thick Basic White cardstock: 11″ x 4-1/4″
