My It’s Your Day Card

My It’s Your Day Card -  A birthday card with flowers on it
My It’s Your Day Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My It’s Your Day Card using the Fragrant Layers Bundle by Stampin’ Up! Wouldn’t this card be perfect for Mother’s Day, a birthday or congratulations!

The Details of My It’s Your Day Card

I wanted a fast card that was special and decided to use a card sketch from the 2024/25 Annual Catalogue and added my own spin to it. Can you figure out which one I used? Lol! Sketches are a great way to inspire you!

Sketches
Sketches

I love the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper with its metallic gold foil details. So, as inspiration, I went with gold embossing of the floral stamp and then stamped Fresh Freesia for the flowers and Old Olive for the leaves.

To match the gold embossing, I added a Gold Foil mat behind the focal point. In addition to this, I gold embossed the sentiment. Lots of sparkle for a special card!

Instead of a bow like in the sketch, I added a die cut flower with a large Pearlized Faceted Circle in its centre. The other thing that I added was an embossed Basic White panel using my favourite Eyelet Embossing Folder.

A scattering of Tiny Bee Trinkets added even more sparkle to my card.

Instructions for My It’s Your Day Card:

  1. Cut and score card base
  2. Stamp and heat emboss the flowers on the Basic White
  3. Stamp the flowers with Fresh Fresia and leaves with Old Olive
  4. Mat onto Gold Foil
  5. Heat emboss the sentiment on a scrap of Basic White
  6. Die cut it and add a die cut Old Olive mat
  7. Emboss the Basic White panel with the Eyelet Embossing Folder and adhere to Old Olive card base
  8. Adhere the DSP at an angle to the card base
  9. Pop up the focal point at an angle
  10. Pop up the sentiment so that it is straight
  11. Add the Fresh Fresia flower and add Pearlized Faceted Circle to the center
  12. Add Tiny Bee Trinkets

The Details of My Bee-cuz I Said Hi!

I loved this cutie and had fun colouring him with my Copic markers! In fact, I used a technique where I added some Colourless Blender to an old towel and then dab it to the coloured image. This created a textured effect that looked like fur. I just needed to make sure I didn’t over saturate the towel and press too long. Otherwise the ink might bleed out of the lines.

Once he was coloured, I used a stencil, Pool Party Ink and my Blending Brushed to create clouds around him. For the bee’s flight pattern, I used a Clear Star Gelly Roll pen to make it shimmer. Then, I die cut him out with layered Stitched Dies with a Pool Party Mat.

The Cute As Can Bee Designer Series Paper was perfect for my bee theme. And I loved the bright colours! Reminded me that Spring is just around the corner!

The printed sentiment was trimmed down and matted with a Petunia Pop mat. To balance the sentiment, I added some stitched honeycomb dies in the opposite corner with another one behind the sentiment.

A finishing touch was a scattering of Mini Bee Trinkets.

My Floral Bridge Card

My Floral Bridge Card - a card with a floral theme
My Floral Bridge Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Floral Bridge Card using the Fragrant Layers Bundle by Stampin’ Up! I decide to make a triple panel bridge card to show off the beautiful die cuts from the Fragrant Layers Dies. Don’t you just love it when the card is closed, and the insides are hidden creating a nice surprise as the recipient opens the card!

The Details of My Floral Bridge Card

For my card, I wanted to showcase the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper with its metallic gold foil details.

First, I created the card base and cut it according to the measurements below. I went with larger side panels since I didn’t want too much space on either side of my central die cut panel. Plus, the “floral bridge” limited how wide it could be too.

Close Up of Focal Point
Close Up of Focal Point

I thought it would be a fun bridge if I used the largest solid floral to join my two side panels! Old Olive leaves tie in the DSP colours and added some interest.

The sentiment was stamped in Old Olive and die cut using the flag in the die set.

For the central panel, I used the background floral die and layered the Lovely & Beautiful DSP behind it. Love that it peeks through!

Inside of Card
Second Panel inside Card

For the inside, I love how the gold accents on the DSP are revealed as you open the card! A Basic White message piece was stamped in Peach Pie and added to the card base.

  • Embossed the Basic White panels with the Eyelet Embossing Folder and adhere to side panels
  • Using a strong glue, like liquid glue, adhere the Peach Pie floral die cut to side panels. Tuck in Old Olive leaves.
  • Stamp sentiment and pop up
  • Adhere the DSP to the back of the central panel
  • Stamp flower on inside Basic White piece and adhere making sure to line up with the DSP
  • Add embellishments

Embrace the Magic Card

Embrace the Magic Card - a card with the Aurora borealis
Embrace the Magic Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Embrace the Magic Card using the Light & Wonder Bundle from the Lights of Aurora Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I love this Suite and couldn’t resist using it for a shoebox swap.

The Details of My Embrace the Magic Card

For my card, I knew that I wanted to use the beautiful Lights of Aurora DSP with that tree die! I saw an accordion card that inspired me to trim my DSP into strips instead of keeping it in one piece. Then, I matted it onto Basic Black card stock leaving a gap between the strips and a 1/8” border all around. Tip: adhere the end strips before adhering the centre one.

Once my DSP was down, I started to layer my scene with the Basic White snow caps and the Basic Gray mountains adhered directly to my DSP. I popped up the trees with the mini Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Next, I embossed the sentiments in white. The Blackberry Bliss sentiment was fussy cut down to fit the letters, while the Basic Black sentiment was die cut using the largest flag from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I popped up all the sentiments with the Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.

All this was adhered to a Basic White mat and then to a Blackberry Bliss card base that was dry embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder.

As a finishing touch, I placed a scattering of the Frosted Iridescent Dots on my card.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Light & Wonder Bundle (165763), Stylish Shapes Dies (159183)

Inks: VersaMark Ink (102283)

Paper: Blackberry Bliss (133675), Basic Black (121045), Basic White (166780), Basic Gray (121044), Lights of Aurora 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper (165755)

Accessories: Frosted Iridescent Dots (165766), So Swirly Embossing Folder (163791), Basics Embossing Powder (165679), Heat Tool (129053), Embossing Additions Tool Kit (159971), Stampin’ Paper Trimmer (152392), Bone Folder (102300), Black Stampin’ Dimensionals (150893), Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (144108), Stampin’ Seal (152813), Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755)

Farmhouse Florals Alternative Cards 2

Farmhouse Florals Alternative Cards-Set 2 - 4 hello cards
Farmhouse Florals Alternative Cards 2

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing the second set of my Farmhouse Florals Alternative Cards using the Floral Farmhouse August 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! I made a total of 8 alternatives and thought to split them into 2 posts. So, I decided to group all the typewriter cards together for my second post. I will link the other post at the end.

But, first, here are the three cards that the kit makes. The Farmhouse Florals Paper Pumpkin brings a playful twist to classic blooms, featuring hand-painted flowers arranged in unexpected places. These versatile cards are perfect for thank-you notes or sending sweet messages any time of year. With whimsical designs full of rustic character, each card feels like a little surprise!

The Details of My Farmhouse Florals Alternative Cards – Set 2

My Z-Fold Flip-Flap Card

For my first alternative card of this set, I created a z-fold card with a flip-flap on the front. Since the typewriter was small, I thought a small flip-flap would be a good way to highlight it. I used my Subtles Embossing Folder to emboss the front of the card base and then folded it in half at 2-1/8”.

Once that was time, it was time to build my focal point. I used the Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper for another card and decided to use it again to with a Secret Sea mat to anchor my flip-flap. This DSP goes perfectly with the Kit!

My Z-Fold Flip-Flap Card

For the flip-flap, I used a 3” Lost Lagoon Card base on which I added a piece of Secret Sea that was embossed with the Subtles Folder. On the front, I used the Circle of Seasons Dies for the circle cut from an envelope, the Lost Lagoon “hello” and the Calypso Coral flowers.

For the inside, I stamped a piece of envelope, matted it with Secret Sea and added a strip of the printed envelope for my background. Upon this, I added the typewriter with the stamped Just a note. For a pop of colour, I added the yellow flowers.

Next, I added a stamped piece on the inside using scraps from an envelope and a Lost Lagoon mat. I made this the same size at the front so that it was a surprise when it was opened.

The finishing touch was to add some small pearls to the centre of my flowers on the front.

Measurements:

  • Card base (from Kit):
    • 4 ¼” x 5 ½” scored at 2-1/8”
  • Secret Sea:
    • 4” x 3-3/8”

  • Other Pieces from Kit:

    • Typewriter Note
    • Yellow Floral Precut Paper Piece
    • Envelope Pieces

My Love Note Card

For my second alternative card using the Farmhouse Florals Kit, I decided to create a card using one of the typewriter card bases from the kit. The printed card bases allowed me to create 4 alternative cards instead of the 2 cards left in the kit. Have to love when you can make more cards by just adding some card stock to the existing kit!

My Love Note Card

I trimmed down the card base from the kit to fit it onto my Lost Lagoon card base. I added a small border of Secret Sea to the top of my card to balance out the bottom printed border. Next, I added the “hello” from the Circle of Seasons Dies. To give it dimension, I die cut it 3 times and glued them together. I thought adding it to where the paper in the typewriter was, gave it a whimsical touch. I stamped the sentiment and tied it with the twine through the “o” of the “hello”. The only other thing was to add some of the floral clusters pre-cut pieces around the “hello”.

Measurements:

  • Lost Lagoon Card base:
    • 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”
  • Secret Sea:
    • ¼” x 4 ¼”
  • Calypso Coral:

  • Other Pieces from Kit:
    • Floral Precut Paper Pieces
    • Sentiment Piece
    • Twine

My Pop-Up Lunch Note Card

For my next alternative card using Farmhouse Foral August 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made a Pop-Up Lunch Note Card. I shared this card at the beginning of September when school was starting as something to pop into a lunch bucket for the first day of school. It was a big hit, and I was asked for measurements. So, I thought I would add it to my list of cards.

This card is very similar to the Flip-Flap of my first card, but this card came first! Lol! I used my Subtles Folder to emboss the Lost Lagoon on the front. Next, I added the die cut circle using scraps from an envelope, the Secret Sea die cut “hello”, the stamped sentiment and yellow flowers with the twine.

For the inside, I thought a fun pop-up typewriter with an encouraging sentiment from the Sunrise Sailing Stamp Set would be fun! I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap of white envelope and added a scrap of the printed blue envelop to the top. All this was matted onto a piece of Lost Lagoon. Next, I created a very simple mechanism for my typewriter (see measurements below). To add a bit of colour, I used some of the floral pre-cut pieces.

My Faux-Step Hello Card

My Faux-Step Hello Card - a fun fold card with flowers on it in a frame
My Faux-Step Hello Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Faux-Step Hello Card using elements from the Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I have included a downloadable Faux Centre-Step Template at the end of this post that has all the measurements on it. 

The Details of My Faux-Step Hello Card

This card was for a swap and since I needed several cards, I had to use different pieces of DSP. Luckily, this paper pack had many beautiful pieces from which to choose. I was able to get two cards from each sheet of DSP.

Two Versions of Card
Two Versions of Card

For my card, I thought a faux-step card would suit the frame from the Gallery Blooms Dies make a pretty focal point almost like a framed piece of art! To make the Basic Beige frame fit onto the easel, I had to trim a little off the top and bottom, but it was so small that it was hardly noticeable. A strip of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper with a Basic Beige mat helped to ground my focal point.

Next, I used the Damask Designs Embossing Folder to emboss the Basic White piece that ran the length of the card behind the easel. Loved the subtleness of the design without taking away from the focal point! This was matted with Basic Beige card stock to match the frame.

Version 2 of Card

For the sentiment, I stamped it in Mossy Meadow on Basic White card stock and die cut it with the smallest banner from the Stylish Shaped Dies. Then, I tucked in the stamped Basic Beige floral cluster behind the sentiment.

My Thankful Hydrangea Card

My Thankful Hydrangea Card - a card with a flower on it
My Thankful Hydrangea Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my My Thankful Hydrangea Card using the Lovely Garden Suite Collection which includes the Thankful Garden Bundle, Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper, Starburst Sequins, and Fresh Freesia Faux Velvet Ribbon by Stampin’ Up! I made this pretty split panel card for a swap.

The Details of My My Thankful Hydrangea Card

The Thankful Garden Bundle comes with masks for the flowers, and I have been wanting to give them a try! So, I used my Blending Brushes and Blueberry Bushel Ink to brush ink onto the different masks of the petals. I used a light touch with the first mask and gradually added more ink and pressure as I went creating lots of dimension. I also, did this with Garden Green for the leaves.

Once I had my flower coloured, I made a couple of extras of the petals and die cut/fussy cut some out which I then added to the top of the flower with dimensionals. Where there was white showing on these extra die cut petals, I brushed ink to help blend them in.

Now, it was time to design my card. Since I decided on a split panel card, I used the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder on the front 2 panels to give it interest without taking away from the flower. Next, I added my DSP strip to the inside of my card allowing it to peek out through the gap.

I used the second largest Nested Essentials Die and die cut the DSP for a backdrop to my flower. This also was my anchor between the two front panels. The flower on top also gave this panel extra stability.

For the sentiment, I heat embossed it in white on a scrap of Blueberry Bushel and just trimmed it down with my paper snips to fit.

As a finishing touch to my card, I added some Starburst Sequins.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Thankful Garden Stamp Set (165534), Nested Essentials Dies (161597)

Inks: VersaMark Ink (102283), Blueberry Bushel Classic Stampin’ Pad (147138), Garden Green Classic Stampin’ Pad (147089)

My Corny Hello Card

My Corny Hello Card - a card with popcorn on it saying Hello
My Corny Hello Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Corny Hello Card using the Poppin’ By Bundle which includes the Poppin’ By Stamp Set and Poppin’ By Dies by Stampin’ Up! I had so much fun making a card with this Bundle a while back, that I decided to make this second card. If you are interested in seeing my other card, I will post it at the end as well.

The Details of My Corny Hello Card

For my card, I thought that the Full of Life Designer Series Paper with its bright colour burst wheel would be perfect for my card! It would lead the eye to the popcorn that is popping out of the focal point. So fun! I added a Basic Black mat to my DSP to tie in the sentiment and help contain the explosion of colour. Lol! This DSP is listed in the Last Chance Products and it’s on sale! So, get it while you can!

Next, I decided to use a Granny Apple Green banner from the Birthday Celebration Dies to anchor my focal point. From this, I had my popcorn and stars from the Loose Shaker Elements bursting out!

After I die cut the popcorn, I used a Blending Brush to add ink to the edges to give them dimension. Then, I used my Wink of Stella Brush to splatter some Crushed Curry Ink on them as well. Love the shimmer it added!

For the sentiment, I heat embossed it in white on a scrap of Basic Black. The POP letters were die cut using the Alphabet à la Mode Dies in Crushed Curry and placed on my banner jumbled to look like it was being jostled by the popcorn.

As a finishing touch to my card, I added some Holographic Resin Dots.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Poppin’ By Bundle (165489), Birthday Celebration Dies (164598), Alphabet à la Mode Dies (160750)

My Pleated Wedding Card

My Pleated Wedding Card - a wedding card with 3 layers
My Pleated Wedding Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Pleated Wedding Card using elements from the Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I was asked by my team leaders to present two cards at a virtual play date. One was a simple card and then a stepped-up version. Last week I shared my simplified card and this week I’m sharing my stepped-up version.

The Details of My Pleated Wedding Card

For my stepped-up card, I decided to create a fun fold called a pleat creating a layered card that is sure to Wow! I have included my Pleated Card Template that you can download at the end of this post.

The Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection is perfect for wedding cards! So, I used the remaining piece of DSP from my simplified version to create this card. To step up on the front panel, I tucked behind my sentiment a Mossy Meadow spring of greenery and a Petal Pink floral element.

For the sentiment, I stamped it in Mossy Meadow on Very Vanilla card stock and then used a strip of DSP to mat it. I added a simple knot of the Petal Pink Scalloped Ribbon which I thought pulled the pink tones from the flowers and matched the Petal Pink card stock. 

Next, for the middle panel, I used the Damask Designs Embossing Folder to emboss the Very Vanilla piece which added interest to it. Such a beautiful design!

For the back panel, I stamped the inside sentiment in Mossy Meadow and then used one of the decorative motif designs to add interest.

As a finishing touch to my card, I added a scattering of Pressed Flower Motifs with two on the front panel and one on the middle panel leading the eye into the card.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Simple Wedding Card using elements from the Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I was asked by my team leaders to present two cards at a virtual play date. One was a simple card and then a stepped-up version. So, today, I am sharing my simplified card. My stepped-up version is at the end of this post.

The Details of My Simple Wedding Card

We were asked to pick a theme for our cards, and I went with wedding since it is the season! Plus, we have a wedding coming up.

The Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection is perfect for wedding cards! I love the DSP and what better way to showcase it, then using it to cover the front of a simplified card! So, I used half a sheet of the floral DSP. Since it did not cover the whole inside flap, I used a panel of Mossy Meadow to hide the DSP edge on the inside to make it look finished.

For the front, I used the Damask Designs Embossing Folder to emboss the Very Vanilla piece which added interest to the front.

For the sentiment, I stamped it in Mossy Meadow on Very Vanilla card stock and then used the leftover strip of DSP to mat it. I added a simple knot of the Petal Pink Scalloped Ribbon which I thought pulled the pink tones from the flowers.

Since the Beautiful Motifs Dies includes two decorative motif designs that add interest, I decided to use one on the inside of my card.

My Note of Thanks Card

My Note of Thanks Card - a floral thank you card
My Note of Thanks Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Note of Thanks Card using the Botanical Textures Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I decided to create an elegant grayscale card using the Textured Notes Dies and the Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper for my inspiration.

The Details of My Notes of Thanks Card

My card was for a swap, and I thought a z-fold card would create a fun element with the rectangle dies from the Textured Notes Dies that I layered to create my focal point.

Top of card
Top of Z-Fold

First, I stamped the leaves from the Textured Noted Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Basic White while keeping in mind the placement of my other elements. I love the different textures of the Distinktive leaves peek out from behind the sentiment!

Next, I heat embossed in white the sentiment and die cut it out with the long thin die from the Textured Notes Dies. I also used this die to die cut another strip of DSP that I layered behind the sentiment.

Once that was done, I used my 1-7/8” punch on a leaf motif from the DSP to match my stamped leaves. I matted this with a 2”” punched Basic Black card stock piece.

To finish my focal point, I layered the different die cut rectangles that matched my colour scheme.

For the card base, I used another leaf motif to match my other leaves for the front of the card. Then, I used the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder for the inside Basic White piece. I loved how it added interest when the card front is closed, but the recipient would be surprised that it completed the inside.

Inside of Card

In order to have a place for the message, I added another Basic White die cut piece to the smaller panel on the inside.

As a finishing touch to my card, I added some Neutral Matte Dots in black and white to my card front on the stamped piece and to the circle leave DSP.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Botanical Textures Suite Collection (165563)

Inks: VersaMark Ink (102283), Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad (132708)

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Mermazing Day Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the Rosealea Mermaid And Sentiment Bundle. This listing includes a total of 12 images in JPG and PNG format:

  • Title 11 & 12: Have a mermazing day sentiment JPG/PNG

The Details of My Mermazing Day Card

For my card, I decided to go out of my comfort zone and colour with my Copic markers Rosealea in oranges. I don’t usually use orange in my colouring. But since there was a lot going on in the background, I thought it would make her pop from my shaker card and match the orange fish in the background DSP.

The Waves Die by Spellbinders was a new purchase, and it went perfectly with my mermaid theme!  Since the die took up the whole card front with lots of peek through holes, I decided to create a shaker card. 

To create my focal point, I added behind Rosealea gold foil coral and some vellum seaweed. Rosealea and the seaweed helped lead your eye up to the sentiment.

Next, I adhered a scattering of gold shell sequins from the Sea Sequins to the front of my card, along with some blue sequins from the Stardust Sequins to tie in my colour scheme.

Finally, to add some sparkle, I used Clear Wink of Stella on her tail and Glossy Accents on the pearls in her hair.

My Poppin’ Hello Card

My Poppin’ Hello Card - a card with a popcorn man saying Hello
My Poppin’ Hello Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Poppin’ Hello Card using the Poppin’ By Bundle which includes the Poppin’ By Stamp Set and Poppin’ By Dies by Stampin’ Up! I needed to make a shoebox swap and thought that this cutie would be perfect…just look at those shoes and glasses! So cute!

The Details of My Poppin’ Hello Card

For my card, I knew that I wanted to have the popcorn guy as my main focal point! So, I pulled out my Crushed Curry and Real Red Stampin’ Write Markers and coloured the rubber stamp with them. Then, I “huffed” with my breath on the stamp to moisten it and reactivated the ink before I stamped him. Such a fun technique that I haven’t done in a while!

Once he was stamped and die cut out, I glued on his shoes and his 3D glasses. I could have left off the lens of the glasses, but I thought a 3D look would be fun!

To create my focal point, I added a die cut Balmy Blue flag from the Birthday Celebration Dies. I stamped “POP” randomly on it in Balmy Blue for a subtle tone-on-tone look.

For the sentiment, I used two Basic Black die cut film strips that I layered behind the Real Red stamped sentiment.

All of this was layered onto the Turtle-y Cute DSP, matted with Crushed Curry and adhered to my Real Red card base.

As a finishing touch to my card, I added some Holographic Resin Dots. Perfect for that 3D look!

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Poppin’ By Bundle (165489), Birthday Celebration Dies (164598)

Inks: Real Red Classic Stampin’ Pad (147084), Balmy Blue Classic Stampin’ Pad (147105)

My Welcome Home Card

My Welcome Home Card - a bunny family looking at their new house.
My Welcome Home Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Welcome Home Card using the Storybook Friends Bundle includes the Storybook Friends Stamp Set and the Storybook Friends Dies by Stampin’ Up! A friend just moved into their new home, and I wanted to send a Welcome to your new home card. So, I thought the Storybook Friends Bundle with a cute bunny family would be sweet!

The Details of My Welcome Home Card

For my card, I thought my favourite fun fold, a centre-step, would work well with the family on the bottom panel and the framed house above them. But first, I coloured the bunnies with my Stampin’ Blends to match my DSP colours. Then, I die cut them out with the matching dies in the Bundle.

I was strategic in selecting the house from the DSP for my wood frame. I placed my die on the DSP and moved it around to see which house would work without the other houses interfering with it. When I found my house, I use a pencil to mark the inside edge of the frame die. This allowed me to use my Paper Snips to quickly cut a rough piece of DSP without needing the whole frame die cut out and wasting paper. Once that was done, I used the die and lined up my pencil mark to die cut out just the house.

Next, to create my “home”, I used the DSP that looked like wallpaper for the centre panel behind the framed house. A strip of the Timeless Plaid DSP was perfect for the “rug” on which the bunnies were standing.

To decorate my side panels, I used the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and brushed Crumb Cake ink along the edges to bring out the embossing. I also brushed Crumb Cake on the house frame to bring out the grain in the Wood Textured Specialty Paper.

The sentiments were stamped in Lost Lagoon and die cut out with one of the flags from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

As a finishing touch to my card, I added some Antique Pearls to my card on the different panels.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Storybook Friends Bundle (164675), Stylish Shapes Dies (159183)

Inks: Lost Lagoon Classic Stampin’ Pad (161678), Crumb Cake Classic Stampin’ Pad (147116)

My Otterly Amazing Card

My Otterly Amazing Card - a card with otters on it
My Otterly Amazing Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Otterly Amazing Card using the Otterly Amazing Bundle which includes the Otterly Amazing Stamp Set and the Otterly Amazing Dies by Stampin’ Up!

The Details of My Otterly Amazing Card

I received a fun puzzle card in a swap back in October and thought this fun fold would work well with the Otterly Adorable Designer Series Paper, especially the pages with the scene. But this card was for a swap, and I didn’t have enough papers with the scene. So, I used other playful aquatic scenes as well to complete my swaps.

Two of my Cards with Different Scenes
Two of my Cards with Different Scenes

For my card, I took a 11” x 4 ¼” Pretty Peacock piece and scored it according to the instructions below. Then, I cut a to 5 ½” x 4 ¼” piece to the measurements below. Tip: once the base is folded, adhere the smaller piece to the front when it is closed so that everything lines up.

Next, I added my DSP to the appropriate squares to create my scene. I love that the dies cut out several otters from the DSP. So, instead of colouring them (I know gasp! Lol!), I die cut one for each card.

To add to my scene, I die cut some seaweed from Old Olive card stock and added it to the left side of card, overlapping the sentiment.

For the sentiment, I white embossed it on a piece of Balmy Blue and die cut it out with the smallest rectangle from the Something Fancy Dies.
