Welcome to March! Have you seen the Everyday Arches Bundle? This was the first time I tried an arch shaped card, and I’m excited to share my success with you.
Arched Card Base
I began with a standard card base of Basic Beige Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, using the largest Everyday Arches Die. I placed the die as close to the edge as possible, without cutting the fold.
Next, I used the second largest Everyday Arches Die to cut Storybook Moments Designer Paper, and glued it in place. It was glued along the fold, making the other borders even. For the inside, I used the third largest Everyday Arches Die to cut Basic White Cardstock. After gluing it in place, I glued flowers that were punched out from Storybook Moments Designer Paper.
The sentiment is from the You Are Remarkable Stamp Set, one of the many new, Online Exclusive, products that will be available March 4th. I stamped, “Friends are flowers in the garden of life,” in Early Espresso Ink on Basic Beige Cardstock, and used the third smallest Everyday Arches Die for cutting. After cutting, I glued the flower bearing squirrel to the bottom of the arch, and attached them to the card front with Dimensionals. As a finishing touch, I added three, tiny, gold, Blooming Pearls.

ALERT: Before looking at my card, I want to remind you that this is the LAST day of Sale-a-bration. The “FREE” gifts with qualifying orders, and the added bonus to join Stampin’ Up!, will end tonight, 2/28/2025. Be sure you have taken full advantage of these offers.
Storybook Moments Designer Paper has darling bunnies for Easter cards, and two are featured on today’s card. The one on the left was cut with a Storybook Friends die from the designer paper, and it was like an Easter egg hunt finding him. The one on the right was fussy cut (cut by hand).
Easter Eggs
After cutting the bunnies, I attached them to “eggs” with Dimensionals. The “eggs” were created with an Unbounded Love die and Basic White Cardstock. The background is Sale-a-bration, Bloom Impressions Designer Paper, 3 7/8″ X 5 1/8″, glued to Lost Lagoon Cardstock. These layers were glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
The sentiment, “Easter Greetings,” is from the Storybook Friends Stamp Set. I stamped it in Lost Lagoon Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used a Perennial Postage Die for cutting. As a finishing touch, I added five Rainbow Dots, for subtle color and texture.

Today’s card is a combination of sneak peeks that are available March 4th, and current items. This cute, little, bird is from the Bird’s Eye View Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After fussy cutting her free, I colored her with Smoky Slate and Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends, and placed her on Dimensionals.
“Hey.” and “I miss your face,” are from the Saying Hey Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink. I fussy cut “Hey,” and used the Bee Builder Punch for “I miss your face.” It makes a nice comment bubble, don’t you think?
The Background was created with two of my favorite, upcoming products. I used the largest Textured Notes Die to cut Bubble Bath Cardstock Then, I embossed it with the Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder, before gluing it to the Smoky Slate card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The fourth largest Textured Notes Die was used to cut the Basic White Cardstock layer.
After attaching the words, and bird, with Dimensionals, I completed my card with three, Basic Gray Pearls.
I was inspired by TGIF.

When I saw this week’s Global Design Project color challenge (Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight), I immediately thought of the beautiful, Mediterranean Blooms Designer Paper. The first thing I did was fussy cut the lemon, leaves, and blossoms, from the designer paper, and place it on Dimensionals.
Lovely Lemon
Next, I used two Citrus Blooms Dies to cut the background from Basic White Cardstock. This was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
“Thank you” is from the Humble Home Stamp Set, stamped on the card front in Garden Green Ink. After stamping, I colored the letters with a Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend.
The star shaped blossoms were cut with Citrus Blooms Dies from Glimmer Specialty Paper, and I also added three Dots For Days in yellow.
Now, it’s your turn to get creative with the colors in this challenge. When sharing your creation, please add #gdp485.

I’m so excited to share new, Online Exclusive products, available to customers March 4th. The flower on today’s card is from the You Are Remarkable Stamp Set, stamped in three colors of ink on Basic White Cardstock: Crushed Curry, Old Olive, and Pecan Pie. That cute bee is in the stamp set also.
Remarkable Textures
This is a “Distinktive” Stamp Set, which means the stamps produce natural shading. It also has “two-step” stamping, which I’ll show you on my card, Wednesday, the 26th.
After stamping, I used a rectangular die from the fabulous, new, Textured Notes Die Set. This is the third largest die, 2 3/4″ X 4 1/4″.
Here is the set, showing all the sizes. Don’t you love the detailed borders?
The flower layer was attached with Dimensionals to a background of Woven Textures Designer Paper. The largest Textured Notes Die was used for cutting, even though the border isn’t real visible. I glued this to a Crumb Cake card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. I can’t even describe how wonderful this paper is!
The sentiment is from a current set, Seaside Wishes, stamped in Early Espresso Ink, and cut with a Spotlight On Nature Die. I threaded the circular die with Linen Thread, and attached it with a Dimensional.

I was excited to use the Elements Of Text Stamp Set on a “clean & simple” thank you card. First, I stamped the words in Crumb Cake Ink on Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″.
Text and Dragonflies
After stamping, I backed the layer with Floral Delight Designer Paper 1/8″ larger, giving it a 1/16″ border. This was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The flowers are also from the Floral Delight Designer Paper, which I fussy cut, and attached with Dimensionals.
“Thank you so very much” is from the Storybook Friends Stamp Set, stamped in Crumb Cake Ink. My “clean & simple” card was complete after adding three Adhesive Backed Dragonflies.
