by Tracy | Dec 13, 2021 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Fun Fold Card
Stampin’ Up! has a new Mini Catalog debuting on January 4, 2022. If you’ve ordered from me in the last six months, I ordered a catalog for you in late November and you’ll be receiving it directly from Stampin’ Up!. As I understand, they were mailed in early December so be on the lookout for it soon (it will also include the Sale-a-Bration brochure). If you placed an order from me for the first time in the month of December, I will be directly mailing yours to you.
Last Friday I shared two cards with you (and a free tutorial) and unfortunately the Designer Series Paper I used on both cards is no longer available. So I made another version of the card using Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalog.

I also used the stamp set In Symmetry along with the Layering Circles Dies.


You can find the measurements I used in last week’s free tutorial along with the directions on how to create this fun fold card. The Supply List for today’s card can be found below.

Update: It’s that time of year when it’s hard to know what will still be in stock from day to day. I wrote today’s tutorial several days ago when Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper was not on the Low Inventory List and unfortunately, it sold out yesterday which means that for both of the cards I’m sharing, you can’t purchase the Designer Series Paper.
I try to never show products you can’t purchase because that’s frustrating for you, but it’s really challenging right now. As I mention in my post, this is an easy card to replicate with paper you already own and a coordinating cardstock. I’ll create a card this weekend using this same design with paper from the Annual Catalog and post it on Monday.
Today I have two fun fold cards for you. Unfortunately I made one of the cards with Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper before it sold out so I made another one using Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper. Normally I wouldn’t share a card with retired paper but if you were lucky to get a pack before it sold out, you now have another idea for it. The design of this card is so versatile that you could use any paper and make it a thank you or birthday card and change out the sentiment.
The first card features Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper (retiring and available while supplies last) and the second one was made with Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper, which as I mentioned above, has already sold out.
You can find the FREE tutorial below the Supply List.

The supplies for the two cards are the same except for the cardstock and Designer Series Paper. The Mint Macaron cardstock & Mint Macaron Blends (I used the Dark Mint Macaron Blend to color the rhinestones ) are for the second card. The FREE tutorial will be for the Heartwarming Hugs card.

by Tracy | Dec 9, 2021 | Designer Series Paper
Update: Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper has just sold out.
Today’s card features Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Heartfelt Wishes. Both of these products are retiring and available while supplies last or January 3, 2022.

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card and added a layer of Read Red cardstock. Then I adhered a piece of Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper to the bottom of a piece of Basic White cardstock.

Below are the coordinating colors for Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper

I used my Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink (Pear Pizzazz ink will also work and will be a little lighter) using the stamp set Heartfelt Wishes. Then I wrapped a piece of Real Red 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon around the middle and tied a knot. This ribbon is retiring and it’s on sale! I adhered this piece to the Real Red cardstock.

To add some sparkle, I added three rhinestones around the sentiment. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Today’s was supposed to be the last day my Happiest of Birthdays Card Sampler would be available but since finding out that there will be a free shipping sale tomorrow, I’ve decided to extend the deadline to tomorrow.

Today’s card, just like yesterday’s, features Sweet Stockings 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (retiring and available while supplies last). I also used the Scalloped Contours Dies. These dies are so cute with stitching and scallops!

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock. Then I used a piece of Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper and the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut the large scalloped shape. I used these dies again to cut the smaller scalloped shaped with the dog, mouse and kitty. I adhered the smaller scalloped piece to the larger one and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the front of the card.


I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Cherry Cobbler ink and the stamp set, Words of Cheer (retiring and available while supplies last). I cut it out using the Tasteful Labels Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and tried to place it on the card where it wasn’t blocking any of the animals.



To complete the card, I added three rhinestones. This is a quick and easy card to make!
