It’s a new month and to kick it off, we have the October 3D Tutorial Bundle & Blog Hop! We have the talented Patti Dolan joining us again as a guest designer. In addition to the tutorial bundle, the design team is featuring a blog hop. We’re each sharing a second project created using the same products to coordinate with our tutorial project. You’ll find the blog hop links at the bottom of this post. This month, the team is highlighting autumn.
Remember, the projects designed for the 3D bundle tutorials aren’t available elsewhere online. Therefore, you’ll receive EXCLUSIVE projects in the tutorial bundle. In addition, we’re including both Imperial and Metric measurements for each project.
Starting next month, the 3D Bundle Tutorial Design Team is moving the date for our post to the 10th of each month. So mark your calendar! With the change, this month’s tutorial is available for purchase until November 10, 2020.
Now for a Sneak Peek of the October 3D projects…
You’re going to love these autumn themed projects in the October 3D Tutorial Bundle.
Here’s my bonus project to coordinate with my October 3D tutorial project and features the Love of Leaves Bundle.
Card Details:
- Create a card base with Early Espresso cardstock (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score & fold at 4-1/4″).
- Next, add a Very Vanilla cardstock layer (5-1/8″ x 4″).
- Cut two strips of Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper (1= 3/8″ x 5-1/4″ and 1=3/8″ x 4″). Attach the two strips to the Very Vanilla cardstock layer with each approximately 1″ from the side and bottom of the cardstock. The strips will intersect.
- Stamp the sentiment from the Love of Leaves stamp set using Early Espresso Classic Ink Pad onto a 2″ square of Very Vanilla cardstock. Cut using a stitched circle die from the Stitched Shapes Dies. Sponge along the edge of the circle with Early Espresso Classic Ink Pad.
- To stamp the leaves: first ink the leaf stamps from the Love of Leaves Stamp Set with Old Olive Classic Ink Pad. Then using a sponge dauber, dab Terracotta Tile Classic Ink along tips and partially along the sides of leaves. With another sponge dauber, dab Bumblebee Classic Ink in the center and along part of the leaf edges below the Terracotta Tile. (Note: it is difficult to see where you’ve dabbed the ink on the stamp but there’s “no wrong” way. Think of how leaves look when changing colors – no two are alike. ) After daubing the inks, stamp leaves onto a scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and cut with the coordinating Stitched Leaves Dies.
- Using the second largest leaf die from the Stitched Leaves Dies, cut a piece of the Brushed Metallic Cardstock.
- For the next step, layer the leaves onto the card front and overlapping the intersection of the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper strips.
- To complete the card front, attach the sentiment label using Stampin’ Dimensionals. And of course, don’t forget to embellish the envelope.
When wanting to create autumn leaves, layering ink using sponge daubers onto your stamps is a fun technique. But remember, just dab the ink onto your base color of ink.

It’s a new month and to kick it off, we have the September 3D Tutorial Bundle! We have the talented Patti Dolan joining us as a guest designer for this month’s tutorial bundle. In addition to the tutorial bundle, the team is featuring a blog hop! We’re each sharing a second project created using the same products to coordinate with our tutorial project. You’ll find the blog hop links at the bottom of this post. This month, the team is highlighting projects for Halloween.
Remember, the projects designed for the 3D tutorial bundle aren’t available elsewhere online. Therefore, you’ll receive EXCLUSIVE projects in the tutorial bundle. In addition, we’re including both Imperial and Metric measurements for each project.
Now for a Sneak Peek of the September 3D projects…
Here’s my bonus project to coordinate with my September 3D tutorial project. It’s a “spidery” Halloween card featuring the Magic in this Night Suite.
Card Details:
- Create a card base using Blackberry Bliss cardstock (5-1/2″ x 11″, scored and folded at 4-1/4″).
- Next, cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock to 4″ x 5-1/4″. Texture emboss using the Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder. After embossing, use a light touch to apply Clear Wink of Stella across the web.
- Cut two pieces of the 1-1/2″ Metallic Mesh Ribbon approximately 6-1/2″. Pull and stretch the ribbon to slightly widen. Then, wrap one of the pieces across the center of the Basic Black layer and adhere. With the other piece of ribbon, tie around the ribbon attached and wrap to the back of the card. Use Stampin’ Seal to adhere. See photo below –
- Add the “web” layer to the card base using Stampin’ Seal adhesive.
- Using the labels dies in the Halloween Magic Dies, cut a piece of the Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper (4-1/2″ x 3″). NOTE: Place the smaller die inside of the larger die to cut a frame to use on the card interior.
- Stamp Happy Halloween from the Hallows Magic Night Stamp Set onto a 3/4″ x 3-1/4″ strip of Whisper White cardstock using Blackberry Bliss Classic Stampin’ Pad. Add to the center of the small label using Stampin’ Seal and attach to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- On a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock, stamp one large spider and two small spiders from the Hallows Night Magic Stamp Set using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Cut the large spider with the coordinating die from the Halloween Magic Dies and fussy cut the two small spiders. Add Iridescent Pearls to each of the spider bodies.
- To complete the card, add the spiders to the card front. Note: use Glue Dots for the 2 small spiders and a Stampin’ Dimensional for the large spider.
Card Interior:
The Magic In This Night Suite offers lots of creative options for Halloween projects. If you’re a fan of Halloween, you’ll want to add the suite to your craft supplies.

Aug 1, 2020 | 2020-2021 Annual Catalog, 3-D, 3D, Bundles, Cards, Nothing's Better Than, Tutorials, Uncategorized |
It’s a new month and to kick it off, we have the August 3D Tutorial Bundle! In addition to the tutorial bundle, the team is featuring a blog hop! We’re each sharing a second project created using the same products to coordinate with our tutorial project. You’ll find the blog hop links at the bottom of this post. This month, the team is featuring products from the Nothing’s Better Than Bundle.
Remember, the projects designed for the 3D tutorial bundle aren’t available elsewhere online. Therefore, you’ll receive EXCLUSIVE projects in the tutorial bundle. In addition, we’re including both Imperial and Metric measurements for each project.
Now for a Sneak Peek of the August 3D projects…
For me, my coordinating project is the perfect card! I’ve been known to partake in the guilty pleasures all in the same day, especially the past few months! Can you relate?
Card Details:
- The card base uses the Misty Moonlight cardstock (4-1/4″ x 11″, scored & folded at 5-1/2″).
- Next, add Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper (5-1/4″ x 4″) to the card base.
- With a 5″ x 3-3/4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock, stamp the words: Coffee, Cookies, Chocolate and Cocktails using Granny Apple Green Classic Stampin’ Pad. TIP: use the Stamparatus to align and space the words. Be sure to leave enough space for the images beside the word. Add to the Artistry Blooms layer using Stampin’ Seal.
- Using scrap pieces of Whisper White cardstock, stamp the coffee cup, the cookie, the chocolate and the cocktail.
- For the coffee cup, stamp the cup outline using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. For the cup interior, use the Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin’ Pad but stamp off onto a scrap of paper before stamping the cup interior.
- Stamp the cookie and the chocolate outline using Soft Suede Classic Ink Pad and again, stamp off with the ink for the solid interior stamps.
- For the cocktail glass outline, use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. And for the beverage in the glass, use Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin’ Pad and stamp off twice before stamping in the cocktail glass outline. Use Petal Pink Light Stampin’ Blends Marker to color the umbrella and Daffodil Delight Light Stampin’ Blends Marker to color the lemon slice.
- With the coordinating Love You More Than dies, cut the stamped coffee cup, cookie, chocolate and cocktail. Add to the card using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- For the sentiment phrases, cut strips of Granny Apple Green cardstock (5/8″ x 1-5/8″ and 5/8″ x 1-7/8″). Stamp the phrases onto the strips using the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink pad and to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- To complete the interior, use a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Then, stamp the phrase using the Tuxedo Black and repeat the process from above for the cocktail glass.

In addition to the tutorial bundle, the team is featuring a blog hop! (links at bottom of blog post) Even better, we’re each sharing a second project created using the same products to coordinate with our tutorial project. This month, the team is featuring products from the Playful Pets Suite. This product suite will have you and pet lover friends howling or purring with delight!
Remember, the projects designed for the 3D tutorial bundle aren’t available elsewhere online. Therefore, you’ll receive EXCLUSIVE projects in the tutorial bundle. In addition, both Imperial and Metric measurements are included for each project.
Now for a Sneak Peek of the July 3D projects…
You’ll love the cute 3D project designs!
For my coordinating project, I have a cute gift card holder design for you.
And here’s the card interior:
Gift Card Details:
- Refer to the photo below for cutting and scoring to create the gift card holder. Real Red cardstock is used for the base.
- In addition, cut the following:
- Real Red cardstock: 2-3/4″ x 4-1/4″ (calling it horizontal panel)
- Playful Pets Designer Series Paper (DSP): 2 coordinating pieces each 2-1/2″ x 4″; strip for interior 3/4″ x 4″; select the 2 dogs from the DSP and fussy cut
- Whisper White cardstock: 4″ x 5-1/4″
- Referring to the photos, cut, score and fold the gift card base. Add a strong adhesive such as Tear & Tape along the sides of the panel with 1/2 circle. To create the gift card pocket, fold the panel along the score line toward the 5-1/2″ score line.
- Next, attach the coordinating Playful Pets Designer Series Paper pieces to the front of the card, to the 2-3/4″ x 4-1/4″ horizontal Real Red cardstock panel and to the interior pocket of the card. The Stampin’ Seal adhesive is great for this!
For the gift card interior:
- On the Whisper White cardstock, stamp the dog bowl on the lower right corner of the cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the bowl with the Real Red Dark Stampin’ Blends. Then, add the fussy cut dog to the left corner of the Whisper White cardstock and use the Stampin’ Seal to add the Whisper White panel to the gift card interior. I love the expression on the dog’s face!
For the card front:
- Cut a 16″ piece of the black & white baker’s twine from the Playful Pets Trim Combo pack. Wrap the twine around the card so it can be used to tie the card closed on the right side. Now, position the horizontal Real Red cardstock panel so that it is centered and aligns evenly with the right side of the gift card base. Carefully attach to the card ensuring you adhere the baker’s twine and that the adhesive is only on the front portion. If it extends past the folded gift card portion, it will become attached to the card interior. Optional: add a small amount of liquid glue to the baker’s twine and attach to the back of the horizontal Real Red panel – keep open until it dries.
- Select the sentiment from the Pampered Pets Stamp Set. Stamp onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Next, cut the shape using the Tasteful Labels Dies.
- Finish the front of the horizontal Real Red panel by adding the sentiment label using Stampin’ Seal. Then, add the fussy cut dog using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- For the final touch, add a Playful Pets Trinket to the dog’s paw. Tie the twine into a bow to close the gift card.
- Optional: Add a piece of the Playful Pets Designer Series Paper to the flap on the envelope.
Have fun creating with the Playful Pets Suite Collection! The variety of dogs and cats offer multiple creative options for pet lovers.

It’s a new month and to kick it off, we have the June 3D Tutorial Bundle! We have the fabulous Tammy Civello joining us as a guest designer for this month’s 3D tutorial. In addition to the tutorial bundle, the team is featuring a blog hop! Even better, we’re each sharing a second project created using the same products to coordinate with our tutorial project. This month, the team is featuring products from the Flowers for Every Season Suite for our projects. This suite of products is in the upcoming 2020-2021 Annual Catalog and will be available for purchase on June 3.
Remember, the projects designed for the 3D tutorial bundle aren’t available elsewhere online. Therefore, you’ll receive EXCLUSIVE projects in the tutorial bundle. In addition, both Imperial and Metric measurements are included for each project.
Now for a Sneak Peek of the June 3D projects…
Here’s my bonus project to coordinate with my June 3D tutorial. It features the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle which is included in the Flowers for Every Season Suite. Also, check out the new In-Color, Misty Moonlight.
Card Details:
- Using a 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock, score at 5-1/2″ and fold to create the card base.
- A layer of 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ piece of the Misty Moonlight In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series.
- With the large sunflower stamp from the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set, stamp the image onto a 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock using Soft Suede Classic Stampin’ Pad. Color the sunflower image using the following Stampin’ Blends Markers: Light Soft Suede (flower center), Light So Saffron, Light Pumpkin Pie and Dark Daffodil Delight (flower petals). Cut using the coordinating die from the Sunflowers Dies.
- On a 4-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock, stamp the sentiment on the lower right side of the cardstock using the Misty Moonlight Classic Ink Pad (Item #153118). Lucky for me, an ink spot of this color is in the May Paper Pumpkin kit!
- Stamp three (3) of the large leaves from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set onto the Whisper White cardstock using Old Olive Classic Stampin’ Pad. TIP: for determining placement of the leaves, lay the die cut sunflower onto the cardstock to give you an idea where to stamp the leaves. Remove the sunflower and then stamp the leaves. Color the leaves using the Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Marker. Next adhere to the card offset by aligning the Whisper White edge with the right edge of the Designer Series Paper layer.
- Attach the die cut sunflower to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Embellish by adding the Misty Moonlight Enamel Dots (from the 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots package).
One more thing – embellish the card interior and the envelope!
For easy ordering, check out all the products in the Flowers for Every Season Suite (Item #154132). The suite offers lots of products for creating a variety of floral themed cards and projects. Remember, the new in color and suite items can be ordered beginning on June 3, 2020.
