Today’s card uses all of the Sale-a-bration 2nd release tools: All Adorned stamp set, country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, and Painted Seasons stamp set*. The sentiment is from All Adorned and the flower stamped on the inside of the card is from Painted Seasons. The embossing folder is so striking, you really have to see it in person. Everyone who has seen it so far has literally gasped. That’s how beautiful it is.
*The Painted Seasons stamp set is bundled with the Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper. This bundle can take you through all four season of the year!

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Petal Pink card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
- Whisper White CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ (2 pieces)
Stamped with the All Adorned stamp set:
- sentiment in Crumb Cake ink onto a scrap of Whisper White CS
Stamped using the Painted Seasons stamp set:
- flower in Petal Pink ink onto one of the Whisper White CS pieces
- A little note about stamping with Petal Pink ink. When you first stamp your image, the color can be a bit dark. But as it dries it becomes the lovely Petal Pink color we all know and love. So don’t panic if at first you get something a little muddy looking.
Die cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits:
- sentiment
- larger oval from a scrap of Petal Pink CS
Embossed using the Country Floral Dynamic Embossing Folder:
- the second piece of Whisper White CS
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- embossed layer glued onto the front of the card base
- sentiment glued onto the Petal Pink CS oval
- Petal Pink CS oval glued onto the embossed layer
- tied a piece of Crumb Cake ribbon in a bow and adhered it onto the card front using Mini Glue Dots
- stamped layer glued onto the inside of the card base
I hope you can see in the photos how spectacular this embossing folder is. Since it’s “dynamic” it creates really deep embossed images. I think this is one of the most beautiful embossing folders I’ve ever seen. Ever!

*A note from Stampin’ Up! about the Organdy Ribbon:
The Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack (item 149623) may be one of our most popular Sale-A-Bration items ever. It’s been so popular, in fact, that it has exceeded our product forecast and sold out. We have a shipment coming in to fulfill backorders, but because this item has been in such high demand, we have been forced to turn off the Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack in the online store. Unfortunately, this initial shipment will help us fulfill only orders that have already been placed. Once backorders have been fulfilled, a second shipment will arrive at the beginning of March, which will allow us to turn on this item again; it will be available while supplies last only. We’re so sorry for the inconvenience.

What’s black and white and red all over? Today’s card! I decided to go with a classic color combo for this friendship card made with the Beauty Abounds bundle from the new Occasions catalog and the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper from the Sale-a-bration catalog. So the red butterflies would have some contrast, I cut the base from Real Red cardstock and the top layer from Cherry Cobbler cardstock.
Here’s what I made:
S
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Basic Black card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
- Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″
- trimmed front sentiment after it was stamped (see below) *
- Whisper White CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the Beauty Abounds stamp set:
- front sentiment in black ink onto a scrap of Whisper White CS, then trimmed it down using the Stampin’ Trimmer (see above) *
- inside sentiment in black ink onto the Whisper White CS for the inside of the card base
- 2 butterflies in black ink around the inside sentiment
Die cut using the Butterfly Beauty Thinlits:
- bottom butterfly layer cut from a scrap of Real Red CS
- top butterfly layer cut from a scrap of Cherry Cobbler CS
- NOTE: I used the Precision Base Plate with the Big Shot to cut these. I absolutely recommend you use the Precision Base Plate because these dies are very intricate.
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- DSP layer glued onto the front of the card base
- top butterfly layer glued onto the bottom butterfly layer
- NOTE: I only applied glue to a small portion of the die cut, lined it up with the bottom layer, then applied glue to the next section, etc. If you try to glue the whole thing together at once, it’s more likely to get bits glued in the wrong place.
- butterfly “sandwich” glued onto the DSP layer
- Red Rhinestones applied to the heads of the 5 butterflies
- sentiment tucked under part of the butterflies and glued in place
- Whisper White CS glued onto the end of the card base

Here’s a quick note from Candy:
Happy New Year and New Catalog! I just want to let you know that my blog posts may be sparse for a couple weeks. I’ve been in bed with a bad back since Christmas. I can only get up for short periods of time. So I haven’t been able to make new projects to share with you, which feels worse than the back pain! I will hopefully be up and at ’em very soon. But in the meantime, please don’t give up on me! I appreciate your support for my small business very, very much!
