Today’s card features Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper and the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set, both from the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. This card was one of three included in my recent Hand-Penned Card Sampler.


I started with a piece of Highland Heather cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added squares/rectangles of Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper to a piece of Basic White cardstock and then adhered it to the card base.
The sentiment was stamped in Memento Ink using the stamp set, Hand-Penned Petals onto Memento Ink.The sentiment was cut out using the Layering Circles Dies along with larger circles out of Highland Heather cardstock and Basic White cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and also added them on the back of the Highland Heather circle before adhering it to the card base. To complete the card, a piece of Basic White was adhered to the inside.

by Tracy | May 24, 2021 | Embossing Folders, Stampin' Blends
Today I’m sharing several more versions of the card I shared on Friday. For these versions, I used different colors and the new Animal Print embossing folder. On Friday I shared a FREE PDF Tutorial for this card using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. If you’d like the measurements I used, you can see that post here and be sure to scroll down past the Supply List to access the tutorial.
All three of my cards today were made using the Stampin’ Up! Flowers of Friendship stamp set. For this first card I used Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends and Fresh Freesia cardstock.

For this next card, I used Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends and Pale Papaya cardstock.

For this last card, I used Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends and Poppy Parade cardstock.


Flowers of Friendship is a great stamp set for coloring, especially for someone who doesn’t have much experience using our Blends. The coloring areas aren’t super detailed so it makes for a relaxing experience!

The Flowers of Friendship Bundle (bundles save you 10%) is also available. It includes the Flowers of Friendship stamp set and the Flowers & Leaves punch.

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!
