Changes Are Coming to the Stampin’ Up! Website
Stampin’ Up! will be offline on Tuesday, April 15th at 8:00 am (Mountain Time) for six hours. Visitors to the site will be redirected to a message about the planned downtime. Once the transition is complete the website will be available with the new Stampin’ Rewards program. The new Stampin’ Rewards program will reward customers with an order of $20 or more and you will now receive 10% in rewards. This new Rewards program will begin on April 15th once the Stampin’ Up! website is back up.
Changes to the ordering system are also coming on Tuesday, April 15th. All customers will need an online account that they must set up and must opt in to participate in the new Stampin’ Rewards Program. This won’t go into effect until April 15th, after the Stampin’ Up! website is back up.
Some customers have me place the orders for them. I will no longer be able to enter your credit card number for you. As my understanding is, I can place the order for you and then send it off to you where you can enter your credit card information. This change won’t go into effect until Tuesday, April 15, 2025
Now Onto My Card
The card I’m sharing with you today was created using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder, Beautiful Butterflies stamp set, Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and Starburst Sequins.
I started with a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Forever Plaid 3D Emossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I then adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of the card.
I layered two pieces of Fresh Freesia cardstock with Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper (just be sure the DSP design on the horizontal piece is going horizontal). I adhered the vertical piece down with Multipurpose Glue and with the horizontal piece, 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 Beautiful Butterflies stamp set in Fresh Freesia ink. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the horizontal piece.
To complete my card, I added three large Starburst Sequins in Fresh Freesia to the card front and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

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.

Today I’m sharing a birthday card I made with the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle (sentiment & die), Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP), Party Dots and I did the sentiment in gold embossing powder.
I started with a piece of Night of Navy cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I added a piece of Wiildflower Birthday DSP to the front of the card.
I took one of the precut pieces in Wildflower Birthday DSP and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set. Then, I sprinkled gold embossing powder over the sentiment and then shook off the excess. I used my Heat Tool to melt the embossing powder. I cut the sentiment out using the Beautiful Butterflies Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added two Party Dots at each end of the sentiment and then added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
