by Tracy | Apr 7, 2025 | Birthday Card
The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the Pattern of Friendship stamp set, Wildflower Birthday Specialty Paper, Textured Notes Dies, Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and the retiring Tinsel Gems Four Pack.


I started with a piece of Blueberry Bushel cardstock for the base of my card. I embossed Pretty in Pink cardstock using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of my card.


Next, I used the Textured Notes Dies to cut a rectangle out of Basic White cardstock. Then, I stamped “Happy Birthday” in Blueberry Bushel ink onto the rectangle using the Pattern of Friendship stamp set. I selected the cake (it’s a die cut) in the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper and then adhered it to the left of the sentiment. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.



To complete my card, I added three Blueberry Bushel Tinsel Gems below the sentiment and added two more to the rectangle. I also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

I have a card to share with you today but first . . . . .
A New Promotion Begins Today!!!

Stampin’ Up! is offering an additional 10% off all stamp and die bundles (that’s a total of 20% off)! PLUS, save 10% off the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. It’s very rare that I don’t emboss or die cut when making a card. I love my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine!
- This promotion does not include stamp & punch bundles.
- The Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine comes in white and Boho Blue. Boho Blue is available while supplies last.
- I’m anticipating that some of the bundles could go out of stock and I don’t how long it will take to get back in stock, so shop EARLY!
- The 10% discount will be applied automatically to stamp and die bundles.
- This promotion ends on June 30th.

The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the Friends for Life Bundle which includes the Friends for Life stamp set and the Friends for Life Dies (and this is one of the bundles on sale for the rest of the month!). For this first card, I used Full of Life 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder and Tinsel Gems Four Pack.


I started with a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I put Basic White cardstock into the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I adhered it to the front of the card.


I layered a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock with Full of Life Designer Series Paper, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the embossed Basic White cardstock.


I used the Friends for Life Dies to cut the background for “friend” out of Basic White cardstock and the word friend out of Pretty Peacock cardstock. I used an adhesive sheet on the back of the Pretty Peacock cardstock to make gluing this so much easier. I added the word friend to the Basic White background and then added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and then, adhered it to the Designer Series Paper.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Friends for Life stamp set and Melon Mambo ink. Then, I used my Paper Snips to cut the sentiment to the size I wanted. You could also use our Paper Trimmer. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it below “friend”.


To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of my card and added three gems to the front of the card. I’ve added the measurements I used below the Supply List.
