by Tracy | Dec 29, 2021 | Designer Series Paper
Today’s card features Stampin’ Up! Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, In Symmetry.
I started with a piece of Just Jade cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then I added a piece of Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper to the front. The colors that coordinate with this Designer Series Paper are:
On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped a stem and two sets of leaves in Just Jade ink using the stamp set, In Symmetry. I adhered this to a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the front of the card.
On a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flower using Calypso Coral ink. I cut it out using Paper Snips, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it right above the stem. I stamped the sentiment, using the stamp set In Symmetry in Calypso Coral ink and then used my Paper Snips to cut a notch out of one end. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete the card, I added six rhinestones to the flower.

Today I have a sneak peek of Heart & Home Designer Series Paper (#157928) which will debut on January 4, 2022 in the January-June Mini Catalog. If you’ve ordered from me in the last six months, I ordered a new catalog for you and had Stampin’ Up! send it to you (along with the Sale-a-Bration brochure). I’ve heard that some people have already received it so if you haven’t, it’s on the way!
Heart & Home Designer Series Paper is part of the Heart & Home Suite. The colors that coordinate with this package of paper are:
This is a very quick and easy card to make. The measurements are listed below the Supply List and you can see how to fold the cardstock and where to place your adhesive in a previous post HERE. After you make the base of the card, you’ll add the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper to the front and then wrap your ribbon around the smaller section. The sentiment was stamped in Garden Green ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Flowing Flowers. I cut it out using one of the dies from the Pretty Pillowbox Dies. These dies were in the Holiday Mini Catalog but are being carried over and will continue to be available.
I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and adhered it to the front of the card. Quick and easy!

I’m unable to link the new products to my Stampin’ Up! online store until they go live on January 4th, 2022 but I have the ordering numbers below and the page number if you already have the new catalog.

Before sharing today’s card, I wanted to let you know that I will be taking a small break to spend the holidays with my family. I’ll be back here on my blog Monday, December 27th but if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me. Happy Holidays to all of you!
Today’s card was created using Ever Eden Designer Series Paper and it’s only available while supplies last. It’s so pretty in person, especially the gold accents on some of the sheets but I don’t think it shows well on a computer screen but it’s pretty in person.
The base of my card is Thick Basic White cardstock and then I added a layer of Soft Succulent cardstock that I embossed using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (this folder is not retiring). Then I layered Basic White cardstock with a piece of Ever Eden Designer Series Paper. I wrapped a piece of 3/8″ Open Weave ribbon in Soft Succulent around the piece before adding Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhering it to the card front.
I stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen ink using the stamp set Eden’s Garden and then cut it out using the Tasteful Labels Dies. I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut a larger circle out of Soft Succulent cardstock and then layered the two pieces together. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it to the right of the ribbon. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.

by Tracy | Dec 21, 2021 | Card Sampler, Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Gift Card Holder
If you need a last minute gift card holder, then I have a very quick and easy one for you. I’ve made three or four of these in the last few days (yes, I’m very behind) and I’m sharing two of them today. I like to place these gift card holders in a box and then wrap it up or simply tie some ribbon around the envelope.
You’ll need to start with a piece of cardstock that measures 11″ x 4-1/4″ and score at 2-1/2″ and 5-1/2″. Fold on the score lines and then add adhesive to make the pocket where the gift card (or cash) will go. The picture shows a notch on the left side, but don’t do that until you’ve adhered the Designer Series Paper which I’ll explain below. I wanted a strong adhesive and prefer to use Tear & Tape.
You’ll first need to add a piece of Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper to the front of the pocket (the other side of the piece where you added the adhesive). THEN, use the Layering Circles Dies to cut a notch so the recipient can easily pull out the cash or gift card. I used my retired 1″ Circle Punch but the Layering Circles Dies will work too. Now you’ll peel off the liner of the Tear & Tape and fold it towards the right, to make the pocket.
Next, add a panel of of Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper to the front of the card and the inside panel You’ll also add a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside. We’re almost done! The sentiment was stamped onto Basic White cardstock using Evening Evergreen ink and the stamp set, Christmas to Remember (this stamp set isn’t retiring – yay!!!!). I cut the sentiment out using the Seasonal Labels Dies (also, NOT retiring) and cut a larger one out of Soft Succulent cardstock. I layered the two pieces together and then on the back (on the right-hand side only) I added Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhered it to the front of the card. Easy and so cute! You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.
Here’s another gift card holder using Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper (retiring), Pear Pizzazz cardstock, Cherry Cobbler ink, the stamp set Perfectly Plaid and the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

Happy Friday!
Before sharing today’s card I want to let you know about a change I’m making. I will still continue to post a free tutorial each week but you’ll see the tutorial on Saturdays from now on. The card will be posted on Friday but the free tutorial will be posted on Saturday. I will give you the measurements on Friday but the full tutorial with pictures and directions will be posted the following day. Because Christmas is next Saturday, I won’t be posting a tutorial next week but will resume on Saturday, January 1, 2022.
Today’s card features Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper and the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder.
I started with a base of Cinnamon Cider cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder. Next, I added another layer of Cinnamon Cider cardstock with Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper.
I used Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper to cut out the leaves and pot using the Perfect Plants Dies. I love that several of the sheets of this paper have images that you can easily die-cut (or cut out by hand). How easy is that?? I stamped the sentiment in Cinnamon Cider ink in the far right-hand corner of a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Love of Leaves and then layered it onto a piece of Cinnamon Cider cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the pot and used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the leaves and adhered them to the sentiment piece. I added three Genial Gems around the leaves. These gems are perfect with Cinnamon Cider cardstock.
To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside. I’ll have the tutorial for you tomorrow but you’ll find the measurements below the Supply List.

by Tracy | Dec 15, 2021 | Designer Series Paper, Embossing Folders, Punches
Today’s card features a sneak peek of three new products from the upcoming January – June 2022 Mini Catalog!
The Designer Series Paper I used is called Flowering Fields (#157670) and I have to say I’m in love with this paper with the tulips and beautiful colors! Unfortunately I can’t link these products up to the online store until the catalog goes live.
I started with a base of Rich Razzleberry cardstock and then added a layer of Fresh Freesia cardstock that I embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Then I added another layer of Rich Razzleberry and Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper.
I stamped the sentiment in Fresh Freesia ink using another new product, the Happy & Heartfelt stamp set (#158005). There are 15 stamps in this set and they are all in the same font as on my card. Love it!! I used the Double Oval Punch to cut out the sentiment as well as the Rich Razzleberry oval. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Rich Razzleberry oval and adhered it to the front of the card.
The cute little butterflies are also new and they’re called Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136). You can purchase all three of these new products on January 4, 2022.
