This card is more about paper and Die than stamping. The Tag Die is a favorite for sure! And it is on the Last Chance list for a bit over $8.00! That is a fabulous bargain.
Die Shapes
These Paper Tags Dies are so adorable! I am using the shapes for a Baby Shower Tag next month. The heart is one of things I love the best. I am sad they are retiring though.
The larger tag is cut from Basic Beige cardstock with the smaller being Basic Beige that is stamped on using Garden Green Ink. These tags are great layered as I have or simply used individually.
Embossing
The Stone & Ivy Embossing Folder you have seen from me before. This may be an all-time favorite because of the extreme amount of detail to the leaves. And pairing it with the 2 Tone Cardstock is a double bonus! I love that this cardstock has a White core so you can see the detail, or distressing if you prefer. With the details here and the pretty tag, this card is finished!
Layout
This card is a Z fold card which works great with the embossed layer. The inside allows you to see the opposite side of the embossed piece. It is a 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 scored at 2 1/8 & 4 1/4. Fold back the first score line and adhered the left side of the embossed layer to only that piece. TIP: Add your adhesive to the folded bag section. That way you do not run the risk of adhesive being too far over and sticking your card closed! Here is a photo of the inside.
Extras
Unfortunately the Paper Tags stamp set is already sold out. The sentiments are from the set. But the Antique Pearls are the Bling on the front, and they are still available.

The card I am sharing today is a bit smaller than an A2 as I had to adjust the measurements. I cased from an Australian Demonstrator , Alisa Tilsner, this fun fold that she made with a 12 X 12 cardstock. I wanted to use the normal 8 1/2 X 11, so some measuring took place. It did not strain my brain too much though. This card is still fun and beautiful even if it is a tad smaller.
The front really showcases the Lovely Arrangements Bundle. And the other views share the Lovely Blossoms DSP.
The first opening showcases this gorgeous piece of the DSP. And there is one more opening to see the sentiment.
You can add another DSP or more white writing space on the left panel if you wish.
Lovely Arrangements Bundle
I mentioned the Lovely Arrangements Bundle. There are flowers and sentiments that are used here today, but some additional ones as well. I love the flowers as I used them, which is stamped in Secret Sea Ink. To highlight some areas I used a Blender Pen to pull out the color from the details.
The Die set from this Bundle is just as wonderful. The fun layer behind the flowers is a Die from the set. I love the uniqueness of it. Then of course a die for each of the flowers and leaves. As well as the sentiment layer Die. I love that long oval shape.
Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper
This paper showcases floral patterns as well as more solid sheets. I have used both on my card. The Cloud Cover background of the floral layer used is my favorite. That color adds such a softness to the flowers. I also shared the Mossy Meadow one that has a Linen look to it. These are perfect together. And the added bonus of Secret Sea is fabulous. It is one of my current favorite colors to use.
Measurments
I mentioned that I had to tweak the measurements to get this to fit 11″ instead of 12″. Here are the ones I came up with . The card base is 11 X 5 and scored at 1 3/8, 4 3/8, and 7 3/8. To add the layers and DSP as I did you need 1 1/4 X 4 7/8 then 1 X 4 5/8 for the front panel. The next two panels are the same of Secret Sea at 2 3/4 X 4 7/8. Then the DSP floral is 2 1/2 X 4 5/8. For the signature layer it is 3 1/2 X 4 7/8 Secret Sea and then 3 1/4 X 4 5/8 of White and 3/4 X 4 5/8 of DSP.
There is a choice on the center panels that are back to back. I, and the Australian Demonstrator, adhered them together. You could leave them apart for a more accordian card. There are always options to choose from!

I have used the Stone & Vine 3D Embossing Folder a few times to share with you all. This is another of that gorgeous detailed ivy vine. I am not sure why I am so impressed with this embossing folder. It seems to mesmerize me at the detail it shows. There really is a 3D effect.
Stone & Ivy Embossing
You can easily see the ivy standing out on this card front. The stone may be a bit more difficult to see in the photo but it is definitely there as well. Stampin’ Up!s designer really outdid themselves on this one in my opinion. And who doesn’t love a card that with one crank through the Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine you have a gorgeous card front!!
Floral Details
The flower “focal” area is the second best part of this card. I used the Lovely Arrangements Bundle for these pretty flowers and leaves. The flowers are left plainer than normal. I stamped them using Secret Sea Ink and then used a Blender Pen to use that ink to give them some highlights. Don’t get me wrong. These flowers are pretty no matter what color they are. And I love the two different designs. The sentiment and layer is also from the Lovely Arrangements Bundle. I used the Secret Sea Marker to go around the edge of the white for a look of another layer.
The leaves are only Die cut using Mossy Meadow cardstock. All of the details are from Dies themselves. The light blue sprig, which is actually from Cloud Cover cardstock, is from the Beautifully Celebrated Die set. I had been using that set on another project and just loved that sprig. It reminds me of baby’s breath you see in flower arrangements. And even though it is hidden fairly well, the layer for the florals in Secret Sea cardstock is one of the layering designs from the Beautifully Celebrated Dies. These are so pretty!
Extras
The embossing and the floral layer stand out quite a bit as detail. So I did not feel there needed to be too much on the Extra side today. Of course there must be bling you all know! So I used the every popular Rhinestones as the Bling. And they may actually be the biggest of bling in terms of shine. I added one to each flower center and a third one to the area of the leaves.
Measurements
This is a little bit of a Fun Fold. So here are the measurements: Score the card base that is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 at 2 1/8 & 4 1/4 on the long side. Then cut the embossed layer to 4 X 5 1/4. It fits over the 2 1/8 section on the front. You can see a bit of that in the photo above. The inside White is 4 X 5 1/4 as well and layered to be sure it does not show when the card is closed. It could be a hair smaller if you wanted to not have to worry about getting it just so when adhering it.

Even without having a lot of children to make cards for, I still love the fun stamp sets. Or in today’s case, fun DSP. I believe we are never too old for whimsical things. A quick card with a touch of whimsy is right up my alley.
Partial Matchbook Fold
I started to call this Fun Fold a Matchbook Fold, but it is only held together at the bottom by the Happy Birthday circle. So I renamed it a Partial Matchbook Fold. This one could not be any easier to do. And would work in landscape mode as well.
The card base is 4 1/4 X 9 1/4 and scored at 5 1/2. The front flap DSP is 4 X 3 3/4 and is in landscape if it is a directional paper as I used. For the bottom small section I chose to simple use the back side of the bugs. The little grass goes perfectly with them. The bottom DSP is 3 X 1 1/8. And to ensure the inside White layer does not show from the bottom, it is 4 X 3 5/8.
Designer Paper
This adorable critter covered DSP is the Cute As A Bug Designer Series Paper. There is a stamp and Die set available to complete this fun whimsical bug theme. I personally loved the bugs and the colors used. Almost any of the Stampin’ Up! colors would work with this paper in the varying bug details.
The card base is simple in Old Olive. This is a fabulous green that has been around for many years which proves it’s use and love. The ink on the Happy Birthday is Poppy Parade. Of course it is pulled from the mushrooms and pops against the green.
Stamps
As a demonstrator we get to pre-order upcoming products. I have purchased several items from the March OnLine Exclusives. And I used one today in the sentiments for this card. So you are getting a sneak peek at the Cutest Crew stamp set. The mixed fonts of the Happy Birthday are always one thing I love. The inside is all from that stamp set. Here is an inside view:
The inside sentiment is using Daffodil Delight along with Poppy Parade for the butterflies. And to do a simple splash of color to the butterflies I used a Blender Pen. I love, when I think to do this, to add some color or shading to an image. In this case I wanted the shadowed look instead of just a light color. It could be done however you like. The Blender Pen uses the image’s ink to color. Although you need to do it fairly soon after stamping.
Extras
There are two extras today. The circle of the front sentiment is from the Stylish Shapes Dies. And the bling is a 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearl in Darling Duckling. It does have the pearly sheen which is very pretty and noticeable.

I am still loving the Stone & Vines Embossing Folder. It pairs with so many stamp sets. Today’s card is a “lovely” one mixing the vines along with Sweet Blooms. I am loving the mix of colors for this one as well.
The Sweet Blooms Bundle
This great bundle is from the Annual Catalog. Since I was packed up for the move several months I have missed playing with quite a lot from the catalog. So I am going back through and finding wonderful products. This is one of them. The sentiment is stamped and fussy cut, then paired with the “lovely” die cut from the matching Die set. These are more spread out than I would normally arrange them. But I did not want to cover up the floral part any more than necessary. It took some playing around.
Florals In Bloom Designer Series Paper
The sentiments are stamped or die cut, and that is all of the stamping other than the inside of this card. The pretty floral arrangement is die cut or fussy cut from the DSP. I wish I could color the flower as beautiful as the pink one is. So I opted to let the professionals do it for me. LOL!!
Stone & Vines Embossing Folder
Once again I have turned to this wonderful new 3D embossing folder. And it is really 3D! Actually this one was embossed at the same time as the previous card using this folder. Having used the two tone Garden Green cardstock, I did one from each side to show the different colors. Although the center of that cardstock is white as you can see from the definition of the leaves. This is the darker of the two sides. You can see the previous card HERE.
Extras
The card base is Petunia Pop to match the flower. I am thrilled with how well it pairs with the Garden Green. To further that pairing, I used the Garden Green Chevron Ribbon to wrap around the layer a couple of times. This was a perfect grounding for the flowers. The final Extra is the bling. This is once again the Sparkle Dot Essentials. I love these with their extra sparkle, the different colors, and sizes, plus they are flat. Many wins all in one with these embellishments.

This post name is not exactly the name of the stamp set. It is however close, and very fitting as this stamp set brings back the “Round” punches that I love. I shared one yesterday as well with the round focal point. You can see that one HERE if you missed it.
You can see that this is a fun fold of sorts. It is a simple one though. And here is the inside view.
A Round of Hellos stamp set
The stamps used on the front are all from the A Round of Hellos set. There are a few sayings and more “round” pieces. I chose this half flower to go along with the leaves. This set also pairs with the 2 3/8″ and 2″ Circle Punches. Both of these are used in the “round” focal area.
Paper
To get the brightness I wanted on a cold and windy day here north of Atlanta, I went with the Brights 6X6 Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalog. From that I pulled Melon Mambo and Lemon Lime Twist. The base of the card is Melon Mambo. It is a simple cut of 6 1/2 X 5 1/2 and scored on the long side at 2 1/4. The two DSP strips are both the same sheet, I used front and back, and measure 2 1/8 X 5 3/8. The inside one is adhered to the Basic White that is 4 1/8 X 5 3/8.
The circles were punched with the Circle Punches. It was the 2 3/8″ Circle for the Lemon Lime Twist DSP and then 2″ Circle for the stamped flower. The flower is raised using Stampin’ Dimensionals where the DSP is adhered using Multi-purpose Liquid Glue. Remember to only add the glue to the half attaching to the left side!!
Bling
The papers are pretty on their own, but there still must be bling. I went a bit extra today with the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls. These are Strawberry Slush but close enough. There are three sizes of each of the colors and I used all three sizes. You should be able to find 5 of the pearls scattered around.
To finish the card I wanted a touch of texture as well. My go to is a small bow. This is a double bow made using the White Bakers’ Twine from the Essentials Twine pack.
