by Tracy | Dec 10, 2021 | Free Tutorial
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.

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.
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 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!

by Tracy | Dec 6, 2021 | Card Sampler, Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders
Today’s card features Sweet Stockings 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper, the Stockings Dies (retiring and 50% off), and the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. All retiring products are available while supplies last!
I started with a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock. Next, I ran a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and then adhered it to the card front. I love this embossing folder and I know I use it a lot but it’s great when you want the embossing to be very subtle.
I used the Stockings Dies to cut a piece of Sweet Stockings 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and then adhered it to the card front. The Stockings Dies coordinate with the Sweet Little Stockings stamp set (I didn’t use it for today’s card) and they are both included in the Sweet Little Stockings Bundle but you’ll save $10.00 buying these two products separately since the dies are so discounted.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Peaceful Deer stamp set and Garden Green ink. I cut it out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. The Peaceful Deer stamp set is unfortunately not available right now but is estimated to be back in stock the week of December 13th. The Peaceful Deer stamp set and the coordinating Deer Builder Punch are not retiring (yay!!) BUT the Peaceful Deer Bundle is retiring on January 3, 2022 and beginning on January 4th, these two products will be sold separately. The Peaceful Deer Bundle is also unavailable but is estimated to also be back in stock the week of December 13th
To complete the card, I added three Rhinestone Basic Jewels for some sparkle and added a piece of Basic White cardstock inside. You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.
