by Tracy | Mar 17, 2025 | Happy Birthday Card
I made a birthday card for my uncle using Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper. I also used the stamp set, With You in Mind, the Countryside Corners Dies and Low Profile Dots.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I adhered a piece of Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper to a piece of Boho Blue cardstock. Boho Blue will be retiring soon, so if you love the color, I’d suggest getting the products now (cardstock, inks, Stampin’ Blends, etc.). Also Copper Clay, Wild Wheat, Moody Mauve and Pebbled Path are also retiring.
I then adhered the Boho Blue/Timeless Plaid DSP panel to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment on Basic White cardstock in Boho Blue ink, then cut it out using the Countryside Corners Dies. I then cut the next largest shape out of Boho Blue cardstock and adhered the sentiment to the front. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
To complete my card I added three Low Profile Dots to the front of the card.

by Tracy | Mar 14, 2025 | Hello Card
The card I’m sharing with you today was made using Mixed Florals Bundle, Beautiful Butterflies stamp set, Perennial Postage Dies, Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder and Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Highland Heather cardstock using the Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of the card.
I die cut a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Perennial Postage Dies using the largest die in the set. I then adhered it to the front of the card. I stamped the flowers using the Mixed Florals Stamp Set in Memento Ink and then cut them out using the Mixed Florals Dies.
Next, I colored the flowers (using Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends), the leaves (using Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends) and the smaller flowers (using Boho Blue Stampin’ Blends). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment on Basic White cardstock using the Beautiful Butterflies Stamp Set and Highland Heather ink. I cut it out using the second smallest die in the Perennial Postage Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to just the top of the sentiment and adhered it to the flowers.
To complete my card, I added three large Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the front of the card.

The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the Memorable Blooms Bundle, Perennial Postage Dies, Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder and Low Profile Dots.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then, I cut two pieces of Poppy Parade cardstock and ran them both through the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder. Next, I adhered the bigger one to the front of the card and the smaller piece to the “inside” of the card.
I stamped the flowers onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Memorable Blooms stamp set in Memento Ink. I colored the flowers and leaves using Poppy Parade & Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. Then, I cut the flowers out using the Memorable Blooms Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and set it aside.
I used Basic White cardstock to cut one of the Perennial Postage Dies (the second largest one). Next, I added the sentiment down towards the bottom of the rectangle in Memento Ink using the Memorable Blooms Stamp Set. Then, I added Tear & Tape (or a strong adhesive) to the back (not the part that will hang over) and adhered it to the right side of the card. Next, I added the flowers to the front and then added three Low Profile Dots.

by Tracy | Mar 11, 2025 | Card Sampler
Update: Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators received this update to our Basic White cardstock yesterday afternoon. We knew prices were going to go up, but we didn’t know it would be before the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog goes live. The Basic White cardstock will now be 24 sheets. You can read the update below:
Our 40-sheet Basic White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock (159276) is either out of stock or will be shortly. To avoid potential disruption, we will activate the 24-sheet Basic White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock (166780) as soon as possible instead of waiting for its scheduled release with the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. Please expect the new item number (166780) to be available in the Online Store soon if it isn’t already. Be advised, there may be a small amount of time when both items are listed as unavailable.
Our 40-sheet Very Vanilla 8 ½” x 11” Cardstock (101650) is following a similar pattern and is also forecasted to sell out. When that occurs, we’ll follow the same approach described above and activate the 24-sheet packs of Very Vanilla 8 ½” x 11” Cardstock (166784) as soon as possible. Again, there may be a small window of time where neither item is in stock, but we hope to keep that potential downtime to a minimum.
Thank you for your patience as we make this transition!

Before sharing my card with you today, I wanted to let you know that the Paper Pumpkin site will shut down today and tomorrow it will back up on the Stampin’ Up! website where you can access your subscription!
The card I’m sharing with you today was created using the Everyday Arches Dies, Memorable Blooms Bundle, the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder and Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.
I started with a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered it to the front of the card.
I cut out an arch using the Everyday Arches Dies out of Basic White cardstock and then adhered it to the front of the card. I stamped the flowers onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Tuxedo Memento ink and the Memorable Blooms stamp set. I then cut it out using the Memorable Blooms Dies ( I usually cut it out last but I hate when I’ve colored the flowers and I mess up the cutting). I colored the flowers using Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the arch.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Highland Heather ink and the stamp set, Memorable Blooms. I then cut it out using the smallest die in the Everyday Arches Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it down near the stem.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added three larger Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the arch.
