From time to time I’ve offered card kits. A card kit is all the cardstock, Designer Series Paper and embellishments you’ll need to complete the card. You have to supply your own stamp set, ink and adhesive.
I have a limited number of card kits available and all were made with retired Designer Series Paper and possibly the cardstock is no longer available or the stamp set I’ve used or the dies. If you place a minimum $50 order using the host code AEGYH3UT, I’ll send you eight card kits along with the corresponding PDF tutorial(s). Please read below for all the details.
Details – PLEASE READ
- All of the Designer Series Paper used on the card kits has retired and is no longer available.
- The stamp set I’ve used on the cards, may or may not have retired. If it has retired, use what you already own!
- If any of the cards you receive have an embellishment or ribbon, it may have retired and is no longer available.
- It’s possible that any dies used on the cards have also retired.
- My card kit PDFs feature one card as an example. You may or may not receive the featured card but the directions will be the same for all the cards in the PDF.
- You may receive a mixture of different card kits or they’ll be all from the same set (but using different cardstock, DSP, etc.).
- You’ll receive a PDF for each different kit you receive.
- The cards are all packaged up and ready to go so I’m unable to take requests for certain card kits.
- I make samples of each card and if I still have one for one of the kits you’re receiving, I’ll include it in your package.
- I have a limited number of card kits. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
- If you want to know if I have card kits available before placing your order, you are welcome to email me and ask if there are any left.
You must use the host code AEGYH3UT to receive the card kits BUT if your order is $150 or more do NOT use the host code so you can receive the Stampin’ Rewards. After you place your order, email me (only if your order is $150 or more) and let me know you’d like the Retired Card Kits.
Until I’m back posting regularly, I’m offering Double Bradley Points for orders $50 or more!

Today’s card was made using the Sweet Citrus stamp set and the Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder which includes an embossing folder and dies.
I started with a piece of Parakeet Party cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock, placed it inside the Sweet Citrus Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I adhered it to the front of the card.
Next, I cut a scalloped rectangle out of Basic White cardstock using the Scalloped Contours Dies. Then, I stamped the three pieces of lemon onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Daffodil Delight ink. The stamp is one big stamp and actually stamps four pieces of lemon but I chose to use three of them. There’s one stamp for the outside of the lemon which I stamped first and another stamp for the inside of the lemons. I used Daffodil Delight ink for both stamps. I was able to line the stamps up better by stamping the outside first but for you, it might be the other way around.
Then I cut the lemon pieces out using the Sweet Citrus Dies. I stamped the leaves onto Basic White cardstock using Parakeet Party ink and then cut them out with the leaf dies. What you can do, but I chose not to, is insert the dies in the embossing folder and your pieces will also be embossed!
I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Citrus stamp set onto the scalloped rectangle in Parakeet Party ink. Then, I adhered the lemon pieces and leaves to the rectangle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the rectangle and adhered it to the front of the card. I added three Daffodil Delight dots from the Glossy Dots Assortment to the front of the card. To complete my card, I 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. If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your demonstrator! You can place an order by clicking any of the images below to go to my Stampin’ Up! online store.

I love cherries and where we lived before the house we live in now, we used to go cherry picking. It was so much fun! Now, we have a blueberry farm nearby and each spring we pick blueberries which means blueberry pie! Anyway, today’s post is all about cherries. I used the Sweetest Cherries stamp set and the Cherry Builder Punch to create today’s card.
I started with Sweet Sorbet cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I added a strip of Brights 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (you can find the measurements below the Supply List). Next, I stamped the word “sweet” in Sweet Sorbet ink and “friend” in Memento ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock. I used my Stamparatus (retired) to get a good solid image for the words and cherries. Since Stampin’ Up! no longer carries the Stamparatus and you weren’t able to get one, you can find a similar product here. I owned a Misti before I purchased the Stamparatus and it’s an excellent product.
I adhered the sentiment piece to a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock.
I stamped the cherries in Sweet Sorbet ink and then punched them out with the Cherry Builder punch. I also used the punch to cut two stems out of Early Espresso cardstock and two leaves out of Granny Apple Green cardstock. I adhered the cherries, stems and leaves in between the two words and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three 2022-2024 In Color Pearls to the front of the card 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. If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your demonstrator! You can place an order by clicking any of the images below to go to my Stampin’ Up! online store.
Measurements
- Sweet Sorbet cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ score at 4-1/4″
- Brights Designer Series Paper: 5-1/2″ x 2-1/4″
- Granny Apple Green cardstock: 4″ x 4″
- Granny Apple Green cardstock (leaves): scraps
- Early Espresso cardstock (stems): scraps
- Basic White cardstock (sentiment piece): 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″
- Basic White cardstock (inside): 5-1/4″ x 4″
- Basic White cardstock (cherries): scraps

by Tracy | Aug 12, 2023 | Happy Birthday Card
Thanks so much for your understanding as to why I haven’t been posting. I arrived home a few days ago after being at my mom’s house for four months but I plan to go back in a few weeks. My Mom lived in her home for 53 years! We contacted a realtor and will be selling our family home. My sister and I have been working hard each day to go through all of our mom’s things, which has been excruciating. She loved Christmas and decorated her house so that it was a magical place. Last week we went through her Christmas decorations and I will be bringing quite a lot of them home with me (so many memories!!). Since my dad passed away first, we didn’t have to take the house apart and I really didn’t understand how very hard it is to disassemble someone’s life. My heart goes out to everyone who’s already done this.
I still won’t be posting every day but today I do have two cards to share that I made a few weeks ago. They both use the same products but I used different Designer Series Paper for each one. Both cards were made with the Wanted to Say Dies, Scalloped Contours Dies and one of the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folders.
For this first card, the base of my card is Bubble Bath cardstock. Then I added a piece of Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper to the front of the card. I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then cut another piece of Basic White cardstock to fit on the scalloped rectangle but first I ran it through one of the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the scalloped rectangle and adhered it to the front of the card.
Next, I used the Wanted to Say Dies to cut the words, Happy Birthday. I used Bubble Bath for the background piece and Basic White for the actual words. I adhered the two pieces together and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back to adhere it to the card front.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
For this next card, I used Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper and Berry Burst cardstock.

Below you’ll find all the Stampin’ Up! supplies I used for today’s card. If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your demonstrator! You can place an order by clicking any of the images below to go to my Stampin’ Up! online store.
The Specialty Plate is used with 3D Embossing Folders.
Measurements
- Bubble Bath or Berry Burst cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ score at 4-1/4″
- Bubble Bath cardstock (background for words): approx. 3-1/2″ x 2-1/4″
- Berry Burst cardstock (Happy Birthday): approx. 3-1/4″ x 2″

I’m currently on an extended break. My mom’s Celebration of Life was beautiful and my sister and I are continuing to go through her very big house and decide what to do with everything. The Celebration was at my mom’s home so we didn’t want to disrupt the house too much before we celebrated her life. I will still be checking my emails and can be reached if you have any questions, want to redeem Bradley Points, etc.
I am offering Double Bradley Points for everyone who shops while I’m on my break.
Thank you so much for all the heartfelt words of encouragement and prayers.
