by Tracy | Mar 7, 2024 | Thank You Card
The card I’m sharing with you today was created using Stampin’ Up! Sweetly Scripted stamp set and two designs of Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper. I also used our Silver & White Sheer Ribbon which is a carry over product from the September-December Mini Catalog.


I started with a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I added a layer of Basic White cardstock and Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper. I then cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and layered it with another design of Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper. I then wrapped a piece of Silver & White Sheer Ribbon around this layer and tied a knot. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.

I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock for the sentiment (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) and stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink using the stamp set, Sweetly Scripted. I then adhered the sentiment to the front of the card.


To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Many new products are available today! To see what’s new, click here to go to the Online Exclusives section of my online store.
I have another card for you today using Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (I love this paper) and the Simply Zinnia stamp set (this was not going to be available until the week of March 11th but it’s in stock now). I also used the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder, and the Everyday Details Dies. You can see other versions of this card here.


I started with a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock for the base of my card. Then I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. After adhering the embossed cardstock to the front of my card, I layered a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock with a piece of Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of my card.

I stamped the sentiment in Flirty Flamingo ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Simply Zinnia. I then cut it out using the Everyday Details Dies. I cut a larger rectangle, using the same dies, out of Flirty Flamingo cardstock and adhered the sentiment to the front. I added three rows of Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back (not on the part that hangs off the cardstock) and adhered it the card front.

To complete my card I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

Bundle Alert: The Everyday Details Bundle is available with a savings of 10%. The bundle includes the Everyday Details Dies and Everyday Details stamp set.

by Tracy | Feb 29, 2024 | Hello Card
It’s been a wonderful two months of earning free product during Sale-a-Bration, hasn’t it? In honor of Sale-a-Bration ending today, I’m sharing one more card using two of my favorite Sale-a-Bration products which are the Softly Sophisticated Bundle (which includes a stamp set and an embossing folder) and Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper. I also used the Everyday Details Dies.


I started with a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Softly Sophisticated embossing folder in the Softly Sophisticated Bundle (this product is free with a $100 purchase during Sale-a-Bration which ends today) and then adhered it to the front of my card.


Then, I cut piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock and a piece of Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper (free with a $50 order) and adhered them together before adhering them to the front of my card. I cut another piece of Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper using the Everyday Details Dies and cut the next larger circle in Flirty Flamingo cardstock. After adhering the Designer Series Paper to the Flirty Flamingo circle, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the the back and adhered it to the front of the card.


I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Softly Sophisticated in Flirty Flamingo ink. I cut it out using the Everyday Details Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of my card. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

Starter Kit with Two Options Ends Today!

The best time to purchase the Starter Kit is during Sale-A-Bration!! The Starter Kit is $99 and you’ll receive $125 in Stampin’ Up! product (shipping is always free when you purchase the Starter Kit)! The Starter Kit is truly for anyone! It’s for the person who wants to receive a 20% (to start) discount when they buy their Stampin’ Up! products. It’s also for the business minded person. There’s no risk in purchasing the Starter Kit, only perks and you get to choose what you want to add to your Starter Kit. But wait, there’s more!
When I purchased the Starter Kit in 2009, I bought it just so I could get the discount. In 2009 you didn’t have the freedom to choose the products you wanted, it came with set products. I love that Stampin’ Up! gives you the chance to now customize your kit so that you pick the products you love and know you will use. For more information about the Starter Kit, you can take a look here for some frequently asked questions. You are also welcome to email me with any questions (click EMAIL ME on the sidebar).
You have two options during Sale-a-Bration:
Option 1: Choose the Stampin’ Glass Mat Studio (Retail Value $60). If you choose this option, Stampin’ Up! will send this to you, absolutely FREE!
Demonstrators were able to purchase the Glass Mat before Sale-a-Bration began and before I got it, I’d never used a glass mat. Well, it’s awesome! It’s a product that I never knew I wanted!

The heavy-duty glass mat comes printed with a ruler and grid lines for easy measuring, while the large surface space gives ample room for spreading out while paper crafting. The safety-tempered glass has a heat and scratch resistant surface that wipes clean with the included cloth and water—no chemicals needed. The reusable cloth also cleans ink off your stamps! The nonslip, heat resistant, waterproof silicone mat features four palette squares for mixing custom ink colors or for holding small ink spots in place while crafting. Each component can be used separately or you can use all three items together for a multipurpose paper crafting studio that’s both functional and elegant.
Option 2: Your choice of an additional $30 in FREE products to add to your Starter Kit!
