Valley In Bloom Designer Series Paper

 Welcome again everyone,

This beautiful DSP is from the Valley In Bloom Designer Series Paper (#167935).



I cut the designer paper and the Bubble Bath card (#161727) with Nested Essentials dies (#161597).

I attached another piece of the DSP to the bottom of the Basic White card front (#166781), then this was matted with Bubble Bath card, and attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment is from the Phrases & Frames stamp set (#167581). This was stamped onto Granny Apple Green card (#147014) with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the White powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). A Words & Wishes die (#167894) was used to cut the sentiment. The small banners were attached to each end of the sentiment, then this was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Swirls Of Magic Embossing Folder

 Welcome everyone,

There is a great range of new products now available from the Online exclusives, including this beautiful Swirls Of Magic Embossing Folder (#168179), which will be suitable for all types of celebrations.



I cut 4 different colours of card 4cm x 11cm and cut diagonally from top left to bottom right. Another piece (cut the same size) was cut into a triangle, from the top left and top right, to the midpoint (2cm) at the bottom. This piece fitted in the middle. The card used is Crushed Curry (#131288), Daffodil Delight (#121680), Darling Duckling (#165294) and Lemon Lolly (#161729).

I dry embossed these pieces of card with the embossing folder then taped them to a piece of Very Vanilla card (#166785) - 9cm x 13.4cm. I then cut the excess DSP off around the card. This was matted with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). I wrapped the Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essentials Pack (#155475) around the card front, then attached it to the Very Vanilla base card.

The balloons are from the Addressed To You stamp set (#167010) and the sentiment is from the Exciting Times stamp set (#167875). These were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Heat Embossed with Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The balloons were cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183) and the sentiment with a Nested Essentials die (#161597). These were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).  The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to the card.

Botanical Expressions die

 Hello again my friends,

The Botanical Expressions die (#168152) has been used to cut the leaves on this card.





I placed the die on an angle to cut these leaves from Basic White card (#166781). I then dry embossed the card with the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder (#167179). As I didn't want the leaves embossed I just put the white card in the folder so it embossed the top area, then repeated on the bottom area. This was then matted with Pretty Peacock card (#150886) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The frame for the sentiment and the 2 sentiments are from the Exciting Times stamp set (#167875). The frame was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was punched with the co-ordinating Rounded Rectangle Punch (#167880).

“Happy Birthday” and “Let’s Celebrate” were stamped with Pretty Peacock ink. “Let’s celebrate” was cut with a Nested Essentials die (#161597). The edges of the sentiments were daubered with Pretty Peacock ink, then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The birds are from the retired Adhesive Backed Dragonflies & Birds.

Scalloped Blooms

 Hello everyone,

I have used the Scalloped Blooms dies (#167646) for today’s card.





I used the largest Scalloped Blooms circle die to cut the Basic White base card (#166781). The base card was scored & folded in half and I cut the 2 pieces at one time with the die as shown below.






I used the same die to cut the Hydrangea Hue card (#167688) and attached it on top of the base card.

Using the next size smaller die I cut the Delicate Dreams Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167498) and a piece of Basic White card (for the inside). The DSP was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment from Phrases & Frames stamp set (#167581) was stamped with Hydrangea Hue ink (#167677). The sentiment and the Hydrangea Hue card behind the sentiment were cut with Scalloped Blooms dies. These die cut pieces were taped to the card.

For the inside, I cut a small amount from the top to fit it into the card. The edges were daubered with Hydrangea Hue ink and I stamped the leaf from the Delicate Whispers stamp set (#167500.

To finish the card I added the butterflies from the 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies (#167656).

Pretty Party Kit

 Hello friends,

There is a large range of kits available from Stampin’ Up! and today I have used the Pretty Party Kit (#167998). You can follow the instructions or you can put your own spin on the cards. I have changed these slightly.





I took one base card and cut it in half, as there is a design on the back & front of the base card, then cut it to suit the Basic White base cards (#166781) to make 2 separate cards.

One of the sentiments from the stamp set included in the kit was stamped with Highland Heather ink (#147103) and the other with VersaMark (#102283) with Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). These were stamped onto the labels from the kit.

“Birthday Wishes” was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I added retired embellishments to the card.

For the second card I added the die cut part balloon with Stampin’ Dimensionals then attached the sentiment. The Embellishments are from the kit.
