My Encircled in Warmth Card Sampler is now available!
My Card Samplers give you the chance to “sample” different products and you’re able to see our Designer Series Paper, cardstock, embossed paper, die cut pieces and embellishments “in person” as you assemble the cards.
Here’s how you can earn it FREE!
- Place a minimum $50 order (before tax/shipping) at my Stampin’ Up! online store.
- Use my special Encircled in Warmth Card Sampler Host Code when placing your order: JQXN2RHG
- Place your order on or before Tuesday, October 12, 2021.

Once you place your order, simply drop me an email (only necessary if your order is over $150) letting me know that you’d like the Encircled in Warmth Card Sampler. If I don’t hear from you, I’ll assume you’d prefer to receive my regular card kits.

Thank you to everyone who who left a comment over the weekend about their favorite Stampin’ Up! color group! Many of you said it was really hard to pick just one group and I agree. Personally, I tend to gravitate towards the Brights but there are several colors in each group I love.
I used a random generator to pick the winner (I wish I could send the stamp set to each one of you). The winner of the In Your Words stamp set is:
Nancy Boyd
Congratulations Nancy!!! I already have your address and will get your stamp set mailed today! Again, thank you again to everyone who participated!
Clearance Rack Refresh
Update: Stampin’ Up! just announced that they made a mistake in telling demonstrators that the Clearance Rack had been updated. It will be updated TOMORROW, Wednesday, October 6, 2021 (that explains why I saw so few items).
Stampin’ Up! announced early this morning that there’s been a Clearance Rack Refresh. I’ll admit I don’t go over to the Clearance Rack very often so I’m not sure if the new items have been added or if more are being added throughout the day. If you’d like to check it out, click here.
Classic Stamp Pad Bundles
As with many companies around the globe, Stampin’ Up! is experiencing supply chain shortages, global shipping delays, labor shortages, and transportation and delivery difficulties. They are doing their best to get products in our hands. Please read the information below from Stampin’ Up! about our classic stamp pad bundles.
“Due to ongoing supply chain challenges, we are unable to keep Classic Stampin’ Pad Bundles in stock. As such, we’ve made the decision to move these items to “Not Orderable” status for the foreseeable future. We will fill any backorders that currently exist but will not take additional backorders now that the items are turned off. Single Classic Stampin’ Pads are still orderable; while we can’t guarantee that these won’t go on backorder, we expect that they will continue to be available.”

by Tracy | Oct 4, 2021 | Designer Series Paper, Tasteful Labels Dies
Thanks so much for all the comments left over the weekend! It was so much fun reading every single one of them. Tomorrow I’ll announce the winner of the stamp set!
I really enjoy finding a card design I like and then trying it out with different Designer Series Papers. Today’s card is one of those designs and was created using Blackberry Beauty Designer Series Paper. You can see another version of the card HERE using Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper.
Blackberry Beauty Designer Series Paper has been on backorder but is estimated to be back in stock sometime this week.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock. I adhered six pieces of Blackberry Beauty Designer Series Paper (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) to a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
Using the Tasteful Labels Dies, I cut the sentiment shape out of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment using the stamp set, Inspired Thoughts, and Blackberry Bliss ink. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. How’s that for a quick and easy card?
Supply List
Below you’ll find all the Stampin’ Up! supplies I used for today’s card. If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your demonstrator! You can place an order by clicking any of the images below to go to my Stampin’ Up! online store.
Measurements
- Thick Basic White cardstock: 11″ x 4-1/4″ score at 5-1/2″
- Blackberry Bliss cardstock: 5″ x 3-3/8″
- Blackberry Beauty Designer Series Paper: (6) 1-1/2″ x 1-1/2″
- Basic White cardstock: scrap for sentiment

Happy Friday! Today I have a card to share with you but I was unable to find the time to create a tutorial. It’s been one of those weeks but I’ll be back next week with another one. Before sharing my card, I want to share some happy news.
The last day of the Stampin’ Up! year was yesterday and each year Stampin’ Up! offers an incentive trip for demonstrators to work towards. This was a goal I never thought I could attain but in June I earned my first incentive trip!!! Thank you so very much to each and every one of you who chose me as your demonstrator when you placed your Stampin’ Up! orders this past year. I could not have done it without you and I can’t thank you enough for helping me to achieve this goal! The trip is to the Western Caribbean on the largest cruise ship in the world in May 2022. Now that the new Stampin’ Up! year has begun, I’ll be working towards a Baltic Sea Cruise that will take place in 2023. Again, thank you so much to everyone who helped me to earn the incentive trip!!!!
It’s now time for today’s card!
To create today’s card I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock. Then I added two pieces of Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper. I then added another piece of Sweet Symmetry and layered it on a piece of Basic White cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensiionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
Using the Scalloped Contours Dies, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink using the stamp set, In Symmetry. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it the front. This is a very quick and easy card to make!
Here’s another version using two more designs from Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper and Just Jade ink. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.
Bundle Alert (bundles always save you 10%): The In Symmetry Bundle (#155599) includes the In Symmetry stamp set and the Symmetrical Stems Border Punch.
