Today’s card is another sneak peek of new products available this Thursday on January 4th! I used the Thoughtful Expressions Bundle #162822 which includes the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set and Thoughtful Expressions Dies. I also used the Softly Sophisticated Bundle #162947 which includes the Softly Sophisticated stamp set and the Softly Sophisticated 3D Embossing Folder. This Bundle is FREE with a $100 purchase during Sale-a-Bration!!
I’ve shared two other cards using this layout and you can see them here and here BUT please note that I did change some of the measurements and I didn’t add the extra piece of Designer Series Paper.
I started with a piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock for the base of my card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder (free with a $100 purchase during Saleabration) and adhered it to the front of the card. I cut another piece of Basic White cardstock and embossed it with the same embossing folder and then adhered it to another piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock. Then, I added it to the front of the card.
I stamped the hummingbird from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock. Then I colored the hummingbird using the following Stampin’ Blends:
Body: Dark Parakeet Party & Light Azure Afternoon (I laid down the Parakeet Party first and then blended Azure Afternoon into it).
Wings: Dark and Light Boho Blue
After coloring the hummingbird, I cut him out with the Thoughtful Expressions Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Orchid Oasis ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set and then cut it out using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies. I cut the same shape, but larger out of Orchid Oasis cardstock, adhered the sentiment to the front and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back (only on the part that would be on the same piece as the hummingbird) and adhered it to the card front.
To complete my card, I added three Tinsel Gems around the hummingbird and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
Supply List
Below you’ll find all the Stampin’ Up! supplies I used for today’s card (except for the products that won’t be available until January 4, 2024).

Happy New Year!!! I hope you had a safe and fun New Year’s Eve! My husband, Mark, and I stayed home and we may have gone to bed before the clock struck midnight. 🙂
Today I’m sharing a card with new products that you can order on Thursday, January 4th. I used the Bee My Valentine stamp set #162547 (available January 4th), Bee Mine Designer Series Paper #162546 (available January 4th), Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers #162557 (available January 4th), Stylish Shapes Dies and one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders. The Bee Mine Valentine Bundle #162554 will also be available on January 4th and it includes the Bee My Valentine stamp set and the Bee My Valentine Punch. I didn’t use the punch on my card today but I always like to let you know about bundles so you can save 10%.
You can see another version of this card here.
I started with a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I adhered a piece of Basic White to the inside of the card. Next, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders. I really love this particular embossing folder as it goes with everything but adds a nice texture to the card. Before adhering the embossed cardstock to the front of the card, I cut a piece of Bee Mine Designer Series Paper (available January 4th) and adhered it to the embossed cardstock. I like to do this first, in case I have to trim the paper. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten to adhere the Designer Series Paper to the cardstock first.
I cut another piece of Bee Mine Designer Series Paper (available January 4th) and adhered it to a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock. Then, I adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Sweet Sorbet ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Be My Valentine stamp set (available January 4th) and then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a larger circle out of Balmy Blue cardstock and adhered the sentiment to the front. I added Stampin’ Dimensional to the back (not on the part that hangs off the DSP/cardstock panel) and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three hearts to the embossed cardstock using the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers #162557 (available January 4th).

Before sharing my card with you I want to remind you that that there will be a possible disruption to my blog beginning tonight (Friday) at 11:00 pm Eastern Time. My blog will be moving to a new server by the person who “hosts” my blog (Amy Celona), She will be copying my blog (as well as the blogs of her other clients) and moving them to a new server and she is saying that there will be some downtime. It’s possible my blog may not show up if you try to find it and if you send an email to my stampingwithtracy address, it may possibly bounce. Amy has said that the new server will be faster to load images, etc. In a perfect world, everything should be okay by 3:00 am Eastern Time but if it isn’t, please know that my blog will be up and running at some point on Saturday.
On to my card! I love Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper #162977. I love the birds and the colors used in this beautiful paper! This paper will be a free item with a $50 order (before tax/shipping) during Saleabration which begins on January 4th! I also used the Stippled Roses stamp set #162657 for my sentiment which will also be available in the new Mini Catalog that goes live on January 4th.
I started with a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder. I then added a strip of Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper (the opposite side of the bird paper).
I cut a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock and layered it with Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper. I then adhered it to the front of the card. I stamped my sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink onto Basic White cardstock using the new Stippled Roses stamp set (available January 4th).
I cut out the sentiment using the Nested Essentials Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back (but not the part that hangs off the card) and adhered it so it would hang off the bird layer. Then, I added three Tinsel Gems in Misty Moonlight to the bird layer and two more to the embossed part of the card. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Before sharing the cards I have for today, I want to tell you about a possible disruption to my blog beginning Friday night to Saturday. Whenever you have a blog it sits on a server. The person who “hosts” my blog (Amy Celona) will be copying all the contents of my blog to another server (as well as the blogs of her other clients). She will start copying my blog on December 29th at 11:00 pm Eastern Time and the move may take 6-7 hours to complete, if all goes well. It’s possible my blog may not show up if you try to find it and if you send an email to my stampingwithtracy address, it may possibly bounce. Amy has said that the new server will be faster to load images, etc. So, if you can’t find my blog, no worries!
I hope everyone had a very nice holiday! This was my first Christmas without my mom but her spirit was all around us. I had a very nice day with my husband, my two daughters, two son-in-laws and three grandchildren. We had to start a new tradition of our own and it was a very good day with lots of food, togetherness and happiness!
I purchased the Stampin’ Up! Painted Wishes Card Kit and made all the cards in the kit that I’m sharing with you today.
I didn’t use the gold twine that comes in the kit so my cards will look a little different from the image above. The nice thing about this kit is that the sentiments are all done for you so you just have to assemble the cards. Also, I started to add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the flowery pieces but realized I would run out of Dimensionals (but I always have a big stash of Dimensionals). So, they look pretty whether popped up with Dimensionals or without. Here are the cards I made from the kit.
Also included in the kits are very pretty envelopes.
It was a really easy kit to assemble! If you’d like to purchase this kit you can head over to my Stampin’ Up! website HERE.
