by Tracy | Apr 9, 2025 | Hello Card
Today I’m sharing two products with the same exact products. I used Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper, the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set, Spotlight on Nature Dies, Nested Essentials Dies and the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder. (If any links don’t work, please try again. I always test my links and some didn’t open for me. These products are all current so if you’re taken to a generic SU! page, please try the link again).


I started with a piece of Garden Green cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I cut two pieces of Basic White cardstock. I added one to the inside of the card and with the other one I slipped it inside the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I adhered it to the front of the card.


I then cut a piece of Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP) and adhered it to the front of the card. Then, I chose another pattern of Lovely Garden DSP and made a banner with using the Nested Essentials Dies. I then adhered it to the front of the card.


I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Garden Green ink and the stamp set, Beautiful Butterflies. I cut the sentiment out using the Spotlight on Nature Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.



This next card was made with Fresh Freesia cardstock and Fresh Freesia ink.

by Tracy | Apr 7, 2025 | Birthday Card
The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the Pattern of Friendship stamp set, Wildflower Birthday Specialty Paper, Textured Notes Dies, Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and the retiring Tinsel Gems Four Pack.


I started with a piece of Blueberry Bushel cardstock for the base of my card. I embossed Pretty in Pink cardstock using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of my card.


Next, I used the Textured Notes Dies to cut a rectangle out of Basic White cardstock. Then, I stamped “Happy Birthday” in Blueberry Bushel ink onto the rectangle using the Pattern of Friendship stamp set. I selected the cake (it’s a die cut) in the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper and then adhered it to the left of the sentiment. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.



To complete my card, I added three Blueberry Bushel Tinsel Gems below the sentiment and added two more to the rectangle. I also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

by Tracy | Apr 4, 2025 | Retiring Products
On Tuesday, many retiring items were announced! I thought I would post cards of the retiring products that are my favorites. You can click on the card to be taken to the original post. If the links don’t work try them again (I check all my links to see if they go to the right product. I had some not take me there and when I clicked it again, it went right to the product).
For this first card, I was late to use the Memorable Blooms stamp set and dies. I’m sorry it is being retired because I loved using it. The stamp set and dies aren’t discounted so your best bet is to get the Memorable Blooms Bundle where you get 10% off.

Here’s two more cards using the Memorable Blooms Bundle. In the first card, the Dashing Designs Embossing Folder is retiring. I love this folder!

On this next card, I used Sale-a-Bration paper that has retired and the Purple Adhesive Backed Sequins have also retired. I recommend using our Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.

For this next card, I used the Wanted to Say Dies, which are retiring. The regular price was $39.00 and the sale prices is $35.10.The other products on the card are not retiring.

For this next card, I used the Countryside Corners Dies which are retiring. They were 28.00 and the sale price is $19.60. The paper I used, 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper is also retiring. It was normally $12.50 and the sale prices is $7.50

This next card also uses the Countryside Corners Dies and the Starstruck Embossing Folder which was available during Sale-a-Bration and is retired. I also used Glossy Dots Assortment which are retiring. They were normally $8.00 and they are on sale for $7.20. I love these Glossy Dots!

Now I’m sharing some embellishments I’m sad to say goodbye to.
These first ones are the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems. These add sparkle to your cards! The colors are Peach Pie, Petunia Pop, Pretty in Pink, Shy Shamrock and Summer Splash. They were normally $8.50 and the sale price is $7.65.

This next embellishment is called Tinsel Gems Four-Pack. I loved using these gems! They come in Berry Burst, Blueberry Bushel, Lemon Lime Twist and Pretty Peacock. They were normally $8.00 and now on sale for $6.40.

This next embellishment is called Tinsel Gems Three-Pack. The colors are Misty Moonlight, Fresh Freesia and Lost Lagoon. They were normally $7.50 and now are on sale for $6.75.

This next embellishment is called 2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots. The colors are Peach Pie, Petunia Pop, Pretty in Pink, Shy Shamrock and Summer Splash. They are normally $8.00 but the sale price is $6.40.

These are the Glossy Dots Assortment that I mentioned above. The colors are Daffodil Delight, Gorgeous Grape, Melon Mambo and Pool Party. They were normally $8.00 and they are on sale for $7.20.

This next embellishment are the Adhesive-Backed Heart Sequins. They have been out of stock and are now back in. These are not on sale.

These are my favorite Embossing Folders (if you know me, you know I like my embossing folders) that are retiring. This first one is the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder that I shared earlier. It’s normally $10.00 but the sale price is $9.00.

This next embossing folder is called the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. It was normally $11.00 and is on sale for $5.50.

This next embossing folder is called the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. It is not on sale but it is retiring.

This next embossing folder is the Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder. It’s a great one for Christmas cards. It’s normally $11.00 and on sale for $9.90.

This next embossing Folder is the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder. It normally is $10.00 but it’s on sale for $9.00.

This last one is the Cute Crochet 3D Embossing Folder. It’s normally $10.00 and is on sale for $9.00.

The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the Pattern of Friendship Stamp Set. I also used Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP), Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, Textured Notes Dies and Glossy Dots Assortment.


I started with a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I cut two pieces of Basic White cardstock. I adhered one to the inside and with the other, I embossed it using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered it to the front of the card.


Next, I cut a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock and layered it with a piece of Lovely Garden DSP (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). I then adhered the piece to the front of the card. I cut another piece of Melon Mambo cardstock and again layered it with Lovely Garden DSP, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
