by Tracy | May 20, 2021 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting
Today’s card features the beautiful Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper, 3/8″ Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon and the stamp set, Biggest Wish.
Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper is beautiful! Some of the designs have gold accents including the one I used for today’s card (the center of each flower and scattered around the background).
The base of my card is Thick Basic White cardstock. I then layered a piece of the Designer Series Paper onto Pear Pizzazz cardstock. Before adhering this layer to the card base, I wrapped the Pale Papaya ribbon around it and tied a knot.
Using the Stitched Rectangle Dies, I cut a rectangle out of Basic White cardstock for the sentiment. I stamped it using the Stamparatus with the Biggest Wish stamp set in Pear Pizzazz ink. I was having trouble getting a nice solid image and the Stamparatus came to the rescue. The sentiment piece is small but because the magnets are so strong, I was able to easily stamp the sentiment twice for the bold image I wanted.
I added Stampin’ Dimensionals in the four corners of the sentiment and adhered it over the ribbon. This card is very easy to make but the paper & ribbon will wow anyone!

The Best Deal in the Catalog
If you’re planning to make a $99 purchase, you might want to consider the Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit because you can turn that $99 purchase into $155 in Stampin’ Up! product! It sounds like there has to be a catch, but there isn’t! When you purchase the Starter Kit, you’ll pay Stampin’ Up! $99 but then they’ll ask you to choose $155 in Stampin’ Up! product. Normally you would choose $125, which is a great deal, but this month Stampin’ Up! is offering $30 more in product! Plus, the Starter Kit always ships FREE. After purchasing the Starter Kit you’ll be able to get your future purchases at a 20% discount.
There’s no risk in signing up! To stay active, the quarterly minimum is $300 in product (which is only $240 after your discount!) that can be from personal orders, online orders or ones from family and friends. The quarters are January – March, April – June, July – September, October – December. Once you join, your quarterly minimum begins during your first FULL quarter so if you joined this month, your first minimum would be due at the end of September! If you don’t meet the minimum, you’re simply dropped. It really is a great deal and even better this month! For more information about the Starter Kit, please click here. Please feel free to email with any questions you might have!
Stampin’ Rewards
Did you know that when your order reaches $150, you start earning Stampin’ Rewards (free product)? With a $150 order, you’ll receive 10% of your order ($15.00) in rewards. You can choose any current product as well as our host only rewards on pages 170-171 in the Annual Catalog and page 88 in the Mini Catalog. Until June 14th, Stampin’ Up! is offering an extra $25.00 in rewards with any orders that reach $250. So in addition to receiving $25.00 in rewards for a $250 order, you’d receive an extra $25 for a total of $50 to spend on any current Stampin’ Up! product.
Another way to earn this perk would be to have me open a host code for you. You’d give that host code to any friends or family and they’d use that code when placing their online orders. Since you’re the host, you’d get credit for their orders and start earning rewards once the combined orders reach $150. If the combined orders reach $250, you’ll earn an extra $25!

Today’s card is from one of my past Card Samplers and it features the Pretty Perennials stamp set and Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper.
Did you know the January – June 2021 Mini Catalog will be retiring soon? The retirement list for this catalog will be coming out in early June and all the retiring products will be available until June 30th or while supplies last. The Pretty Perennials stamp set and coordinating Perennial Petals Dies will both be retiring as well as the Pretty Perennials Bundle which includes both of these products (bundles always save you 10%).
Another product that will be retiring in June is Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper. I have loved creating cards with this paper!
To create today’s card I started with a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock cut at 11″ x 4-1/4″ and scored at 5-1/2″. Then I trimmed one end at 2-3/4″ (you can find all the rest of the measurements below the Supply List). The piece that’s been cut off is used for the sentiment piece.
I added a piece of Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper to the front panel and also cut a small butterfly out of this same paper using the Brilliant Wings Dies. To attach the butterfly to the card, I used a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional but you could also use a Mini Glue Dot.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink and my Stamparatus. I wanted the word “happy” to be nice and bold and you can always achieve that look when using the Stamparatus because you can stamp over and over again in the exact same place. “Sending Lots of” was stamped in Melon Mambo ink using a clear block, not the Stamparatus. This piece was adhered to the Melon Mambo cardstock that was trimmed off. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to one side of the sentiment piece and attached it to the front panel. To complete the card, I added three Basic Rhinestone Jewels for some sparkle!
