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.

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.

It’s a new month and to kick it off, we have the April 3D Tutorial Bundle! In addition to the April 3D Tutorial Bundle, the team is featuring a blog hop. We’re each sharing a project created to coordinate with our tutorial project. The theme for this month is Mother’s Day and more Spring Celebrations.
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, you’ll receive both Imperial and Metric project measurements.
Here’s a Sneak Peek of the April 3D projects…
You’re going to love the projects featured in this month’s tutorial!
The card to coordinate with my 3D project is for Mother’s Day but the sentiment can easily be changed to use for a variety of occasions. Be sure to scroll below the card photo for card details and the Design Sketch.
The card design utilizes the sketch below:
Card Details:
- To create the card base, cut a 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of Seaside Spray cardstock and score/fold at 5-1/2″.
- Next, make the second layer using a piece of 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″ Whisper White cardstock. With the “splotch” stamp from the Delightful Day stamp set and Seaside Spray Classic Stampin’ pad, stamp a background on the Whisper White cardstock. TIP: stamp off once before stamping onto the cardstock to create a light background.
- After stamping the background, emboss the second layer using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.
- With the large Stitched Shapes circle die, cut the Seaside Spray gingham print from the 6″ x 6″ In-Color Designer Series Paper. Referring to the design sketch, cut the right side portion of the circle and attach to the Whisper White cardstock layer. Add to card base.
- Using the Daisy Lane stamp set & Seaside Spray Classic Stampin’ Pad, stamp six medium daisies onto Whisper White cardstock. With coordinating Daisy Punch, cut the daisies. Then, layer two daisies together, adhering at the center with mini glue dots.
- Cut four leaves from Old Olive cardstock using the Lovely Leaves Dies. Optional: sponge the edge of the leaves with Old Olive Classic Stampin’ Pad ink.
- Next, add leaves to daisies with mini-glue dots and attach to card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- For an added touch, cut 2″-3″ strips of Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and tuck among daisies using adhesive.
- Using the Happy Mother’s Day sentiment in the Dressed to Impress Stamp Set, to stamp sentiment onto a strip of Whisper White cardstock. Cut into a banner shape using the Merry Christmas Dies. Sponge along the edge of the banner with the Seaside Spray ink. Then, add the banner to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals
- To complete the card front, add a Clear Faceted Gem to the center of each daisy.
The Mother’s Day card along with the 3D project was lots of fun to create. Utilizing a Design Sketch when making a card is also a fun challenge.

Mar 1, 2020 | 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, Cards, Easter, January-June 2020 Mini Catalog, Sale-a-bration 2020, Tutorials, Uncategorized |
It’s a new month and to kick it off, we have the March 3D Tutorial Bundle! In addition to the March 3D Tutorial Bundle, the team is featuring a blog hop. We’re each sharing a project created to coordinate with our tutorial project. The theme for this month is Spring Celebrations.
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, you’ll receive both Imperial and Metric project measurements.
Here’s a Sneak Peek of the March 3D projects…
For my coordinating project, I designed an Easter card by combining several stamp sets. Don’t you agree the “little chick” from the Full of Happiness Stamp Set is cute and makes you think of Easter? Want to use the card for another Spring celebration? Just change out the sentiment. 
Card Details:
- Create card base using a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock. Score at 4-1/4″ and fold along score line.
- Use a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock for the second layer. Attach to the card base with adhesive.
- Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock 5″ x 3-3/4″. On the right side of the cardstock, stamp the chick from the Full of Happiness stamp set. Use Daffodil Delight Classic Stampin’ Pad for the body, Pumpkin Pie Classic Stampin’ Pad for the feet and beak and Early Espresso Classic Stampin’ Pad for the eyes.
- On a piece of Whisper White cardstock, stamp the egg shell outline using Sahara Sand Classic Stampin’ Pad. If desired, add the speckles using the same color. Cut using the coordinating Dino Dies.
- Use the egg shell as a guide to determine where to stamp the greenery vines from the Thoughtful Blooms Stamp Set (this is a Sale-a-Bration Stamp Set, you can get it free with a $50 order!). Remove the egg shell and stamp the vine using Granny Apple Green Classic Stampin’ Pad. Also, stamp part of the vine below the chick’s feet. Stamp small flowers on the vine using Gorgeous Grape Classic Stampin’ Pad.
- Stamp “Easter Greetings” sentiment from Fable Friends Stamp Set on the card using the Gorgeous Grape Classic Stampin’ Pad.
- With adhesive, add to the Granny Apple Green layer.
- Adhere the egg shell to the card front.
- With the Small Bloom Punch (Sale-a-Bration brochure offering), cut 5 flowers from the Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper.
- Using the open leaves dies in the Detailed Bands Dies, cut 2 sets of leaves. Snip into pieces to length desired. Add to the card front using Mini Glue Dots.
- Next, position the 5 flower blooms so they are cascading from the egg shell and attach using Mini Glue Dots. Lastly, complete the card by adding Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the center of each flower.
