A Shimmering Anniversary Card with the Floral Spray 3D Embossing Folder

Today's card is all about texture and shimmer! I'm so excited to share this anniversary card made using the brand new Floral Spray 3D Embossing Folder along with the new In-Color Shimmer Brushes.

I started with a Peaceful Pine cardstock card base, layered with the gorgeous Peaceful Pine 2026-2028 In-Color Pearlized Specialty Paper for a subtle shimmer right from the start. For the top panel, I embossed Basic White cardstock using the Floral Spray 3D Embossing Folder, which gives such beautiful raised dimension to the floral design.

To bring the embossed florals and leaves to life, I colored the raised areas using the new In-Color Shimmer Brushes paired with coordinating Light Stampin' Blends. The soft Barely Blush magnolia, the white and Golden Glow daisies, and the Peaceful Pine leaves all got a gentle wash of color that settles beautifully into the embossed texture. A few touches of Wink of Stella add sparkle here and there, catching the light on the petals and leaves.

For the sentiment on the front, I stamped "Happy Anniversary" from the Phrases and Frames stamp set in Peaceful Pine ink onto a label from the Classic Labels Mix & Match Ephemera Pack, then tucked it into the corner of the design. A few of the 2026-2028 In-Color Dots in Crisp Cantaloupe were scattered across the front of the card for little pops of color.


Inside the card, I kept it simple with another sentiment from the Phrases and Frames stamp set, stamped in Peaceful Pine ink: "Anniversaries are for celebrating the joys of today, the memories of yesterday, and the hopes of tomorrow." Such a sweet thought for any couple celebrating their special day.

I love how the shimmer brushes and Wink of Stella add just the right amount of sparkle without overpowering the soft, romantic color palette. This card would be perfect for an anniversary, or really any occasion calling for a touch of elegant floral beauty!

A Beachy Birthday Card with the Words and Wishes Dies

Today I'm sharing a fun, sunny birthday card that's perfect for any beach lover! This card came together using a mix of techniques to create a realistic ocean and sand scene.

For the background, I created the "water" effect using the Water mask from the Water & Dotted Lines Decorative Masks, applying Lost Lagoon ink with a Blending Brush for that beautiful sea glass texture. For the sand, I used the "sand" stamp from the Rolling Waves stamp set and blended it with Crumb Cake ink. To give the sand some extra sparkle, I went over it with a Golden Glow Shimmer Brush, which adds a lovely sun-kissed shimmer.

The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is the real showstopper here. I cut it out using the Words and Wishes Dies from the gorgeous Iridescent Sunset Shimmer Vellum Specialty Paper, giving it a soft, pearlescent shine that catches the light beautifully against the ocean background.

To complete the beach scene, I added pieces from the Under The Sun Mix and Match Ephemera Pack, including a striped beach chair, a cheerful yellow umbrella, and an assortment of seashells and a starfish scattered along the shore. A few Antique Pearls were tucked in among the sand for some extra dimensional sparkle.

Inside the card, I kept things simple and cheerful. The sentiment, stamped in Lost Lagoon ink, is from the Splash & Relax stamp set, and I added the flip flops from the Under The Sun Mix & Match Ephemera Pack to keep that beachy vibe going strong.

This card is perfect for sending warm birthday wishes to anyone dreaming of sand between their toes!
