The 6" x 6" Designer Series Papers that are available in assortments corresponding to each of our Colour Families feature versatile patterns that are great to have on hand for crafting for all occasions. This card uses papers from the Subtles Collection.
 

A rectangle of the Lost Lagoon floral pattern measuring 2¾" x 3¾" was adhered to the top section of a Basic White rectangle measuring 4" x 4¼". A rectangle of the Calypso Coral striped pattern measuring 1½" x 3¾" was added to the bottom section of the Basic White rectangle. This panel was adhered to the middle of a Secret Sea folded card base.

A stitched hexagon was cut from Basic White Cardstock using the largest die from the Nested Essentials Dies. The two words, "thank" and "you" from the Layered Thoughts Photopolymer Stamp Set, were stamped on the stitched hexagon using Secret Sea Classic Stampin' Ink. The sentiment panel was adhered towards the bottom of the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals. Rhinestone Basic Jewels were added as embellishments.

This card features two colours from our new In Color™ Collection, and the bright tones of Strawberry Slush and Timid Tiger are perfect for creating topical plumage for the birds in the Feathered Fun Photopolymer Stamp Set.
 

The twin bird line image from the Feathered Fun set was stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento™ Ink on Basic White Cardstock. The image was then coloured using Lemon Lime Twist Stampin' Blends, and Strawberry Slush and Timid Tiger Stampin' Write Markers (Stampin' Blends could be substituted for a less solid effect). The image was carefully cut out using Paper Snips. The detailed leaf image was stamped multiple times on Basic White Cardstock using Lemon Lime Twist Ink, and the stamped images also carefully cut out.

The solid heart die measuring approximately 3¼" wide from the Hearts of Elegance Dies was used to cut a heart shape from Strawberry Slush Cardstock. This was adhered to a Basic White Cardstock rectangle measuring 3½" x 4¾". The bird element was added to the left-hand side of the heart using Stampin' Dimensionals, and the stamped leaves tucked underneath. The sentiment, from the Hearts of Elegance Photopolymer Stamp Set, was stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and the sentiment carefully cut out in two parts as shown using Paper Snips. The two parts of the sentiment were then adhered to the card panel using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The card panel was adhered to a 4⅞" x 3⅝" Timid Tiger Cardstock rectangle, and the layered panel added to a Lemon Lime Twist folded card base. Timid Tiger Flat Pearls, from the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls, were added as embellishments.

Soft pastel shades are perfect for a birthday card, and the Birthday Treats Mix & Match Ephemera Pack provides some pretty die cut elements that speed up the creative process.
 

A stitched banner shape was die cut from Basic White Cardstock using the die from the Birthday Celebration Dies. The pink layered cake element from the The Birthday Treats Mix & Match Ephemera Pack was adhered to the left-hand side of the die cut using Stampin' Dimensionals. Colour was added to the candles element from the same ephemera pack using the light Pool Party and Lemon Lolly Blends. The candles were added to the top of the cake, and leaves (cut from Mossy Meadow Cardstock using the die from the Birthday Celebration Dies) and flowers (cut from Bubble Bath Cardstock using the die from the same set) added at the base of the candles. The "happy" sentiment from the coordinating Birthday Celebration Photopolymer Stamp Set was stamped using Bubble Bath Classic Stampin' Ink in the top right corner of the banner shape. The script "birthday" sentiment from the same set was stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Bubble bath ink, carefully cut out using Paper Snips, and adhered across the cake and banner element using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The completed focal element was adhered to the die cut lattice rectangle from the ephemera pack, which was then layered to the lighter side of a 3¾" x 5¼" rectangle of Two-Tone Bubble Bath Cardstock using Stampin' Dimensionals.

A rectangle (4¼" x 5½") of the dotted Soft Seafoam patterned paper from the Wildflower Birthday 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper was adhered to a folded Basic White card base, and the completed panel added to the card front. Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels were added as embellishments.

Create a spooky scene with the Potions & Spells Bundle and share a little hocus pocus with your friends.
 

The cauldron image from the Potions & Spells Photopolymer Stamp Set was stamped on Basic Black Cardstock using VersaMark™ Ink and embossed with Opaque Bright White powder from the Basics WOW! Embossing Powder 3-pack. The image was then cut out using the coordinating die from the Potions & Spells Dies.

The rest of the scene's elements were cut using dies from the same set. The cauldron sludge and bubbles were die cut from Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock. The broom handle was cut from Pecan Pie Cardstock, and the brush head from Crushed Curry Cardstock. The potion bottle was cut from Basic White Cardstock, and the bottle filler and potion pour were cut from Berry Burst Cardstock.

A layer of Basic Gray Cardstock was embossed using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. The die cut elements were arranged as shown to create the scene, with the cauldron and potion bottle adhered using Stampin' Dimensionals and the other elements all adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The sentiment was stamped using Berry Burst Classic Stampin' Ink on a thin strip of Basic White Cardstock. The left-hand side was cut to a flag shape using Paper Snips, and the sentiment banner added to the top right corner of the embossed layer using Stampin' Dimensionals. The completed panel was adhered to a Basic Gray folded card base, again using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The bold text that makes up the images in the Happy Little Things Photopolymer Stamp Set are perfect for creating a simple but effective background using repeat stamping.
 

The "celebrate" outline stamp from the Happy Little Things Photopolymer Stamp Set was stamped diagonally to cover a Berry Burst Cardstock layer in a regular pattern using Berry Burst Classic Stampin' ink for a tone-on-tone effect. The solid "celebrate" stamp was also stamped in Berry Burst on a Basic White Cardstock strip. The ticket-style banner die from the coordinating Happy Little Things Dies was used to cut a banner from Bubble Bath Cardstock, which was stamped with "the little things" using Berry Burst ink. A strip of Pool Party Cardstock was embossing using the crosshatch pattern folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders. The stamped Bubble Bath banner was adhered to the bottom right side of the stamped Basic White cardstock strip, and that element attached to the embossed Pool Party strip using Stampin' dimensionals. That finished piece was adhered to the stamped Berry Burst layer, and the completed panel adhered to a folded Bubble Bath card base.
