Today’s card features Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Heal Your Heart. Both products are part of the Sale-a-Bration promotion and can be chosen, FREE, with a $50 purchase (before tax/shipping). Place a $50 order and you can choose either the paper or the stamp set. Place a $100 order and you can choose both products or choose from the other products available.
The base of my card is Seaside Spray cardstock and then I added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I ran through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the Tasteful Textile embossing folder. The Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper and Night of Navy cardstock panel has Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back.
The sentiment was stamped onto Basic White cardstock using Night of Navy ink and the Heal Your Heart stamp set. It was cut out using the Stitched Shapes Dies and layered with a Seaside Spray scalloped oval (cut out with the Layering Ovals Dies). On the back of the Seaside Spray oval, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right side and down the center, only. If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Today’s the last chance to earn my FREE Flower & Field Card Sampler. Place a minimum $50 order at my Stampin’ Up! Online Store using the host code 2TGDWVB4 and I’ll send you six card kits (two each of three different designs) which will include all the paper and embellishments you’ll need. I call this a Sampler because I use a variety of products in the kits.
When you receive your Sampler, everything will be embossed, die cut and punched for you so you can just sit down and create (you will need to provide ink, adhesive and a stamp set). I used the stamp sets Sweet Strawberry and Sweet Ice Cream but you can use whatever you already own (you can see more information about these stamp sets below). Check below for a sneak peek of one of the cards in the Sampler.
Here’s a sneak peek of one of the cards in my Flower & Field Card Sampler and it’s a fun fold. I used the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and actually (gasp) cut the stamp to make it more useful for my needs. Now I have the option to use it as I did for my card below or as it was intended. I sat with my scissors in hand for a few minutes before I cut the stamp because yes, I was a little scared, but I’m so glad I did it. Now my stamp set gives me more options.

Stampin’ Up! now offers two choices in a die cutting/embossing machine: our Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the MINI Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

Today’s card was created using three new products from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog!
The base of my card is Bumblebee cardstock and then I added another layer which I embossed with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder. Our new True Love Designer Series Paper is layered onto pieces of Basic Black cardstock.
The sentiment was stamped onto Basic White* cardstock using Memento Ink and the new stamp set, Oval Occasions. It was cut out using the, also new, Double Oval Punch. You’ll save 10% if you purchase the Oval Occasions Bundle which includes these two products. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment before placing it on the front of the card.
* Whisper White cardstock is no longer available but I used it on my card today. I’m referring to Basic White, the replacement for Whisper White.
If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find all the measurements below the Supply List.

It’s Friday Tutorial day but first, I’d like to give an update on our new catalogs. If you’ve placed a Stampin’ Up! order with me within the last six months, I ordered a Mini Catalog & Sale-a-Bration brochure for you at the end of November. On December 9th, Stampin’ Up! shipped all the catalogs. With the unprecedented amount of mail going through the USPS system, many of your catalogs haven’t arrived yet and for that, I’m truly sorry but please know they are on the way to you!!!
Stampin’ Up! policy does not allow me to post the link to the online version of the catalogs until they have released the catalog online to the public, which will be January 5, 2021, no later than 3:00 am Mountain Time, which is also when you can start ordering from the catalogs. In my blog post on the 5th, I will include the links for you and if you still haven’t received your catalogs, you’ll have full access to them online. Fingers crossed they arrive tomorrow or Monday!
Today I’m sharing a tutorial for a card that contains several products available on Tuesday, January 5, 2021.
The new products are:
- Sweet Strawberry stamp set* (#154394) – available in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog
- Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper (#157613)- available as a FREE Sale-a-Bration gift with a $100 order (also includes the Berry Blessings stamp set)

Are you ready for another sneak peek of the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog that debuts on January 5, 2021? There are 27 new dies in the catalog (yes, 27!!!) and today I’m sharing a card I made with the brand new Flowering Vine Dies (#154332) and the new stamp set, Oval Occasions (#154477).
I started with a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock and then added a layer of Whisper White cardstock. Before adhering it to the card front, I placed it inside the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I also ran a piece of Highland Heather cardstock through my die-cutting machine using one of three large flowery dies in the Flowering Vine Dies set. Using my Multipurpose Glue, I added glue on the larger parts of the die cut piece and then adhered it to the front of the card (you could also use one of our adhesive sheets but I found the glue easier).
The sentiment was stamped onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock using Gorgeous Grape ink and the stamp set Oval Occasions (debuting on the 5th). I cut it out using the Classic Label Punch. I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adhering it to the flowering vine design. To complete the card, I added small pearls to the flowers.
You can purchase the Flowering Vine Dies beginning on January 5th. It can also be purchased in the Vine Design Bundle (#156266) and includes the stamp set, Vine Design.

If you have questions about products you’re considering purchasing or ones you’ve already purchased, I’m just an email away (click the Email Me button on the sidebar of my blog).
Measurements
- Gorgeous Grape cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ score at 4-1/4″
- ** Whisper White cardstock: (2) 5-1/4″ x 4″
- ** Whisper White cardstock: scrap for sentiment
- Highland Heather cardstock: approximately 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″
** Unfortunately, Whisper White cardstock is no longer available. If you haven’t heard, the mill that produces our Whisper White cardstock has permanently closed due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. This news is sad in so many ways.
Stampin’ Up! didn’t have much notice before receiving this news but they have worked on a new replacement for all Whisper White products which will be called Basic White. In the last few days, Whisper White cardstock and Whisper White envelopes have sold out and Basic White products are not yet in stock. No information has been released as to when we’ll be able to order these new products but I’ll keep you informed as I learn more.

Today I’d like to showcase two products I’ve loved using from the August- December Mini Catalog and sadly, both are retiring and only available while supplies last. They are: Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Gathered Leaves Dies. They pair so beautifully together and I’ve made many cards using this duo.
Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper went on backorder many times and it was hard to keep in stock!
The Gathered Leaves Dies actually debuted in a previous catalog and made a return in the Holiday Mini Catalog. When you run three of the leaves in the set through your die-cutting machine, they are not just cut out but embossed as well! These leaves are so pretty using any of our foil sheets.
Below you’ll see cards created using the Gathered Leaves Dies. The first two cards were made with Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper, also retiring and available while supplies last. The next cards were created with Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper. If you click on some of the cards, you can see the original blog post for the card but in MOST cases, there wasn’t a blog post sharing the card because it was a card in one of my previous Card Samplers or Card Kits (I send card kits out with each order). I wanted to include all the cards I made using these products to show you the possibilities. If you have questions about any of the cards, just let me know.
These next cards were created with Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper.
Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Gathered Leaves Dies are available while supplies last or January 4, 2021. To see everything still available in the Year-End Closeout, click here!
