by Tracy | Apr 19, 2024 | Card Sampler, Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders
Today’s cards feature the stamp set, Hooray for Surprises, Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper, Something Fancy Dies and one new product that will be available May 1st, the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder. The Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper is on the Low Inventory list right now and could go out of stock soon but it is NOT retiring, in fact, none of the products on today’s card will be retiring.
I started with a piece of Boho Blue cardstock for the base of my card and then embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder (available May 1st). I adhered the embossed piece to the front of the card.
Next, I layered another piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed onto a piece of Boho Blue cardstock and then adhered it to the front of the card. Then, I layered a piece of Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper to a another piece of Boho Blue cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Hooray for Surprises. I cut the sentiment out using the Something Fancy Dies and then cut the next larger size die out of Boho Blue cardstock. I layered the sentiment to the Boho Blue cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
Here’s another version using Balmy Blue cardstock and all the same products as the other card.
For this card I used Night of Navy cardstock and all the same products as the other two cards.
Bundle Alert: The Hooray for Surprises Bundle includes the Hooray for Surprises stamp set and Hooray for Surprises Dies.

by Tracy | Feb 14, 2024 | Blending Brushes, Designer Series Paper, Embossing Folders, Thankful for You
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Today’s card was created using Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper, the So Sincere stamp set, Paper Butterfly Accents, Deckled Rectangles Dies and one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders.
I started with Gorgeous Grape cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and then I adhered it to the front of the card.
Next I cut a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock and Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper with the Deckled Rectangles Dies. I adhered the Fresh Freesia rectangle at an angle and then adhered the DSP rectangle.
I stamped my sentiment on Basic White cardstock using Gorgeous Grape ink and the stamp set, So Sincere. I cut it out using the Deckled Rectangles Dies. I didn’t use Stampin’ Dimensionals for this card (shock!!!) and adhered it to the Designer Series Paper. You can’t add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the butterfly, which is why I didn’t pop up the sentiment with Dimensionals.
I used a Blending Brush to add color to my butterfly (there are 40 butterflies in one package of Paper Butterfly Accents) with Fresh Freesia ink. Then, I added Multipurpose Glue to the back and placed it on my card. To finish my card, I added three Purple Fine Glimmer Gems and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

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.

Demonstrators will be able to take a peek at the new Annual Catalog today at noon, Mountain Time. This catalog will go live on May 2, 2023. Later today, I will post again and let you know which colors are retiring. If you have subscribed to my blog, you will NOT get a notice that I’ve written a post. Notifications go out at 8:00 am Pacific each morning so any post I write after eight in the morning, goes out the following day to my post notification subscribers. You’ll have to come back here later today to check my blog post.
I am currently at my mom’s as she’s having surgery this Friday. My blog posts may be sporadic for the next week or so. I’m trying to schedule my posts ahead of time but it may not happen. Thanks for your understanding.
UPDATE: All the Mystery Boxes are Gone! I will have more in the near future! Update on Mystery Boxes: I have one box left. PLEASE contact me if you’d like one before placing your order so you aren’t disappointed that I don’t have one for you. Please see THIS POST for the all the information about my Mystery Boxes, including the host code.
Today’s card was made using an Online Exclusive Specialty Designer Series Paper called Naturally Gilded. I also used the Painted Labels Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Cup of Tea stamp set and one of the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders.
I started with a piece of Thick Very Vanilla cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Gold Foil and adhered it to the base of the card. I took a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using one of the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders. Because this is a smaller embossing folder, I had to run it through the machine twice.
I cut a piece of Naturally Gilded Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the embossed Very Vanilla and then adhered that piece to the Gold Foil. I then embossed the sentiment using the stamp set, Cup of Tea, Versamark and Gold Embossing Powder (if you haven’t embossed before, I’ve included directions below). Embossing anything on a card always adds a bit of elegance to it, don’t you think? I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut the sentiment out. Next, I used the Painted Labels Dies to cut the decorative circle out of Gold Foil and then adhered the sentiment to it. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three gold Festive Pearls to the front of the card.
Here’s another version of the card using Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper. I didn’t want to cover up the design on the paper so I moved the panel of Designer Series Paper over to the left. I used Flirty Flamingo cardstock, Flirty Flamingo ink and Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
Here’s another version using Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper, Petal Pink cardstock, Sweet Sorbet ink and Brushed Brass Butterflies.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy (an anti-static pouch that can be found in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit) over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder. Stamp your sentiment or image using a Versamark pad. This is very sticky ink and your embossing powder will stick right to it. Sprinkle embossing powder over the stamped image and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so your paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image becomes shiny and beautiful!

by Tracy | Mar 15, 2022 | Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders
The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the Sunflowers Dies and Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper.
I started with a piece of Bumblebee cardstock for the card base. Then I added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. I used the Sunflowers Dies to cut the sunflower out of Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper and the detailed part out of Bumblebee cardstock. I cut another detailed part out of Early Espresso cardstock and cut everything off so that just the middle remained. The center was cut using Basic Black cardstock. I cut the leaves out of Pear Pizzazz cardstock and ran them through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I also cut the detailed part of the leaves using Pear Pizzazz cardstock.
Bundle Alert Sale: Although I didn’t use the sentiment in the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle, this bundle is on sale for this month only. It includes the Sunflowers Dies and Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set. This set of dies and stamp set were brought back just for this sale so on April 1st, you will no longer be able to purchase the two together with a discount.
To adhere the two bumblebee sunflower pieces together, I added Multipurpose Glue to the center of the detailed sunflower. Then I glued the Basic Black center to the sunflower and then glued the Early Espresso center to the top. I used Multipurpose glue (very small dots of glue) to add the detailed leaf to the embossed leaf. I added Mini Glue Dots to adhere the leaves to the sunflower. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sunflower and adhered it to the front of the card.
The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso ink using the stamp set Boughs & Blossoms and then cut out using the Seasonal Labels Dies. I used Multipurpose Glue to adhere it to the sunflower. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and then placed five Holiday Rhinestones on the front of the card.

Today’s card features the All Squared Away Bundle which is on sale this month! This bundle includes the All Squared Away stamp set and the Floral Squares Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for my card base. I layered a piece of Just Jade cardstock with a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder. Before adhering it to the card base, I wrapped Just Jade ribbon (included in the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack) around the two pieces and tied a knot. On a side note, I LOVE the White ribbon in the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack. It’s wider than the other white ribbon in the catalog and it’s easy to tie in a knot and looks so pretty on a card. The Just Jade ribbon is also easy to tie (if it isn’t easy to tie, then I usually don’t use it).
On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the piece behind the flower (“bubbles”) using the All Squared Away stamp set in Just Jade ink and then trimmed it leaving a border around the edges. I used the Floral Squares Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then adhered it to the piece I just trimmed. Then both of those pieces were layered onto a piece of Just Jade cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Just Jade ink using the stamp set Boughs & Blossoms and then cut it out using a die from the Meadows Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the card. If you would like to make today’s card, you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.
Just Jade is one of five colors that will be retiring this year (sigh). If you need cardstock, ink refills, Stampin’ Blends, or an ink pad for any of these colors, I’d recommend purchasing them now. Once the retiring list is out (later this month) the products in all the retiring colors usually sell out quickly. To see the products for each color, click on each color below.

Place a minimum $50 order (before tax/shipping) at my Stampin’ Up! Online Store using this special host code 29RQDSBB and I’ll send you my Expressions in Ink Card Sampler. It’s very important that the host code is used when placing your order EXCEPT if your order is $150 or more. Do not use the host code for an order $150 or more so you can receive Stampin’ Rewards from Stampin’ Up!. Contact me after you’ve placed the order to let me know that you’d like the Sampler – you only need to contact me if your order is $150 or more.
