For the “smile” card, I started with some Delicate Desert Designer Series Paper and adhered it to a Gray Granite Cardstock base. I then cut a piece of Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper, layered a slightly larger piece of Basic White Thick Cardstock underneath, and used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere it to the card base. Next, I used one of the Desert Details Bundle to cut out the large frame from Basic White Thick Cardstock, and popped it up more Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For the next layer, I used the large flower image (from the Desert Details Bundle) to “stamped off” the flower image once on Basic White Thick Cardstock, using a Gray Granite Classic Stampin’ Pad. I then “stamped off” the image and second and third time, reinking the stamp each time in between. After I embossed the cardstock with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder, I added some speckling with my Gray Granite Classic Stampin’ Write Marker.
On another piece of Basic White Thick Cardstock, I stamped the large flower and small flower (both from the Desert Details Bundle) on Basic White Thick Cardstock, using my Gray Granite Classic Stampin’ Pad. After I cut them out with the coordinating dies from the same bundle, I used a Small Blending Brush to add soft swirls of Coastal Cabana to the center of each flower. I then used a few more Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere them to the card base. Tucked underneath the larger flower is a leaf, which was cut out from the Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Paper, using one of the dies from the Desert Details Bundle.
The sentiment (from the Desert Details Bundle) was heat-embossed on Basic White Thick Cardstock, using my Versamark Pad and Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder. To create the bow, I used Natural Finish Ribbon (cut in half lengthwise), along with some Linen Thread. For a bit of bling, I sprinkled on Gold Faceted Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

For the “warm rays” card, I started with some Basic White Thick Cardstock, embossed it with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder, and adhered it to a Pale Papaya Cardstock base. I then used on the the dies from the Desert Details Bundle to cut ou the large frame from the Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper, and popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For the next layer, I cut out a piece of the Delicate Desert Designer Series Paper, adhered a slightly large piece of Basic White Thick Cardstock underneath, and popped it up with a few more Stampin’ Dimensionals. I then added a couple of leaves, which were cut out from the Dry Brushed Metallic Designer Series Paper, using one of the dies from the Desert Details Bundle. Layered near the bottom of the leaves is a small piece of Pale Papaya Faux Velvet Trim.
On another piece of Basic White Thick Cardstock, I stamped the large flower (from the Desert Details Bundle) on Basic White Thick Cardstock, using my Gray Granite Classic Stampin’ Pad. After I cut it out with the coordinating die from the same bundle, I popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The sentiment (from the Desert Details Bundle) was heat-embossed on Basic White Thick Cardstock, using my Versamark Pad and Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder. For a bit of bling, I sprinkled on Gold Faceted Adhesive-Backed Sequins.
