Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Are you having any special foods today? My husband, Mark, has been curing a brisket for over a week and then he’ll be cooking it on the smoker later today. I’m not overly fond of corned beef but he’s been talking about making it for a few months now so we’ll be enjoying corned beef, potatoes, carrots, and cabbage tonight!
I have a St. Patrick’s Day Special! All orders $50 or more that use my host code 6BY7CN9F will receive a package of the beautiful Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels as my free gift to you! I love all the colors of blues and greens in this package of gems. Unfortunately they’ll only be around until supplies last so I’ve been purchasing them for this special!
This offer is good starting today and will end on Monday, March 21st.

by Tracy | Mar 15, 2022 | Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders
The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the Sunflowers Dies and Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper.
I started with a piece of Bumblebee cardstock for the card base. Then I added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. I used the Sunflowers Dies to cut the sunflower out of Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper and the detailed part out of Bumblebee cardstock. I cut another detailed part out of Early Espresso cardstock and cut everything off so that just the middle remained. The center was cut using Basic Black cardstock. I cut the leaves out of Pear Pizzazz cardstock and ran them through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I also cut the detailed part of the leaves using Pear Pizzazz cardstock.
Bundle Alert Sale: Although I didn’t use the sentiment in the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle, this bundle is on sale for this month only. It includes the Sunflowers Dies and Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set. This set of dies and stamp set were brought back just for this sale so on April 1st, you will no longer be able to purchase the two together with a discount.
To adhere the two bumblebee sunflower pieces together, I added Multipurpose Glue to the center of the detailed sunflower. Then I glued the Basic Black center to the sunflower and then glued the Early Espresso center to the top. I used Multipurpose glue (very small dots of glue) to add the detailed leaf to the embossed leaf. I added Mini Glue Dots to adhere the leaves to the sunflower. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sunflower and adhered it to the front of the card.
The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso ink using the stamp set Boughs & Blossoms and then cut out using the Seasonal Labels Dies. I used Multipurpose Glue to adhere it to the sunflower. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and then placed five Holiday Rhinestones on the front of the card.

Over the weekend Stampin’ Up! experienced a power outage that affected online ordering. Apologies if you were unable to place an order! All systems are back online.
The gorgeous Expressions in Ink 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper will be retiring soon and I wanted to create a Card Sampler using this paper one more time! All three of the cards included in the Sampler are fun folds!
My Card Samplers are easy to assemble! You’ll receive all the materials to make six cards and each one is packaged separately in its own envelope (you will need to supply your own stamp set, ink and adhesive). You’ll quickly have a card that’s ready to be mailed out to someone special.

Happy Saturday!
Today’s free PDF tutorial is for a card that is SO easy and quick to make plus it’s super cute! I used our Hand-Penned Memories & More Cards & Envelopes and Hand-Penned Memories & More Card Pack. I also used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut one of the cards in the card pack, added a sentiment and some bling and I was done! You can access the tutorial below the Supply List.

by Tracy | Mar 10, 2022 | Quick & Easy Card
Today I have three quick and easy cards to share with you and all three cards were made using the Amazing Thanks Dies (these dies are compatible with the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine).
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Just Jade cardstock and Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper. Then I used the Amazing Thanks Dies to cut “thanks” out of Just Jade cardstock and Gold Foil. I layered the pieces together using small dots of Multipurpose Glue. I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and needed to cut some in half, which I did with my Paper Snips. I have two pairs of Paper Snips – one for cutting anything sticky, like dimensionals and the other pair for paper. If you need a nice sharp pair of small scissors, you won’t be disappointed with our Paper Snips. I’ve had mine for years and they are still as sharp as they were when I bought them.
To complete my card, I added five Metallic Pearls to the front.
For this next card I used Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper but used Magenta Madness and Basic White cardstock to create the “thanks”. I used Metallic Pearls on this card to match the foil swirls in this beautiful paper.
For this last card I used Pattern Party Designer Series Paper. This paper is a host only product which means you can choose it once your order reaches $150. It is a giant package of paper with 48 sheets. Each host only item has a price associated with it. With a $150 order, you would receive $15.00 in Stampin’ Rewards (you earn 10% in rewards up to $300). The “price” of this paper is $18.00 so with a $150 order, you’d pay the overage of $3.00 for this huge pack of paper.
I used Basic Black as the accent color for this card and used five of our Classic Matte Dots to sprinkle around the Designer Series Paper.
