The English translation for “agradezco tu amistad” is “I appreciate your friendship.” You’ll find this sentiment in Stampin’ Up’s! new Spanish set, Texturas Naturales. It’s also available in English, and you can see both versions in my Product List below.
I began today’s card by stamping the pot in Copper Clay Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and using an Earthen Textures Die for cutting. Then, I used a second, Earthen Textures Die to cut the branches from Wild Wheat Cardstock.
“I appreciate your friendship”
Next, I used an Irresistible Blooms Die to cut the vertical strip from Copper Clay Cardstock.
Last week, I discovered a good way to add this unusual die-cut to your cards, so here it is again. Cut a piece of Cardstock, 6 1/4″ X 1 1/2″, and adhere it to the same size cut of an Adhesive Sheet. Then, place the Irresistible Blooms Die on top of the cardstock, and run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. After cutting, poke out all the parts that aren’t part of the design, before peeling the backing of the Adhesive Sheet.
Leaving the die in place, position it on the card front, pressing to make it stick, before removing the die.
The background is Hello Irresistible Designer Paper, 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″, given a border with the second largest Stitched With Whimsy Die. This layer was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4.
I stamped the sentiment in Copper Clay Ink, used a Stylish Shapes Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals.
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.

Thank you for sending this technique which, I imagine, helps place the die cut onto the card? Does keeping it attached the the die give it more stability during placement? I’m glad that you’re featuring sentiments in Spanish as well. It is my second language although not as fluent as I’d like.
Hi Diana! Yes, the die is delicate, and tends to pull apart. So, keeping the die intact gives it stability.
Beautiful card. Your creations inspire me everyday, thank you. Yes, I ordered my Spanish version of this stamp set thanks to you mentioning it as few weeks ago. If it wasn’t for you I never would have realized there was a Spanish version.
Thank you, Nancy Sue! I’m so happy to inspire you!
