Mother’s Day Card Sample
My card features Stampin’ Up”s Dressed to Impress Bundle ($47.50) which includes the Dressed to Impress stamp set and coordinating All Dressed Up Dies. Great news: The stamp set and dies are included in Stampin’ Up!’s next Annual Catalog which debuts June 3. Purchase them as a bundle now to receive a 10 percent discount. This duo won’t be discounted in the next catalog.
I’ve really had fun playing with all of the elements in the bundle. It’s perfect for so many reasons. Here ‘s a basic look at how this card goes together:
- Blackberry Bliss card base
- Best Dressed 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper (5 1/4′ x 4′)
- Mint Macaron Scallop Circle (largest of the group)
- Stamped sentiments with Memento Ink
- Whisper White 5 1/4′ x 1 1/4′
- Blackberry Bliss layer 5 1/4′ x 1 1/2′
- Stamped shoes with Stamparatus using Hinge-Step Stamping (see sample video here)
- Stamped additional shoes on Whisper White scraps and die cut
- Colored shoes with Stampin’ Blends
- Added sequins for fun!
Please let me know if you have questions about this card or any other stamping issues.

Having fun creating cards with Stampin’ Up!’s Best Dressed Suite!
Stampin’ Up! Best Dressed Suite Bundle
I have to admit, when I first saw this suite in the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog, I had little to no interest in buying it. But, now it’s a different story! it is so fun and can be used for so many people in my life. My sister and my hairdresser love shoes. Perfect for them. I’m friends with the woman who runs the Kindness Konnectors group. Perfect for her. I know people who are representatives for Mary Kay and SeneGence. Perfect for them, too.
I love the Dressed to Impress stamp set, the coordinating All Dressed Up Dies, and the Best Dressed 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. Below, I’ve included a tutorial for recreating the card above. This is my version of a card featured on page 54 of the mini catalog. It’s awesome the catalog provides a host of inspiration!
