Notes & Totes Dies!!!

 This card has fun beachy feel, and I only used dies and designer series paper along with a retired embossing folder to create it. No stamping! Wow! The tote was cut from Woven Textures DSP, which is so cool for linen or straw tote bags. I really love the look that the new Beautiful Gallery DSP gives to the tote bag and the sunglasses too! I was looking for some type of print for the scarf that wasn't overpowering, I wanted subtle. I found it in Thoughtful Journey, which has carried over to the new catalog. Yay!


  • Card Base: Early Espresso Cardstock

  • 4-1/2 x 5-3/8 Basic Beige cs adhered to base

  • Emboss Basic Beige cs with the retired Old World 3D Embossing Folder, use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere it to the card base

  • Layer on top another piece of Basic Beige cs, colored with a Blending Brush and a Cajun Craze ink pad

  • The purse: Notes & Totes Dies, along with the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper. Floral images cut from Beautiful Gallery DSP

  • Basic White Thick Cardstock branches, cut out with one of the retired Forever Fern Dies.

  • Sunglasses were cut out from a Silver Foil cs, Early Espresso cs, and Beautiful Gallery DSP, using the Notes & Totes Bundle

  • The purse scarf: cut out from the Thoughtful Journey DSP, using another die from the Notes & Totes Bundle

  • The sentiment (from the Notes & Totes Bundle ) was heat-embossed on Early Espresso cs, using Versamark Pad and White Embossing Powder
