Before sharing my Card Sampler with you today, be sure to check out the Last Chance Products on the Stampin’ Up! website. You will find products that are retiring from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and the January- April Mini Catalog. Many items will be retiring and on sale, so, don’t miss out on the savings. Below my Card Sampler, I will have a direct link to the retiring products.

My Mediterranean Blooms Card Sampler #2 is now available! When you use the special host code 2ESWNNPT and your order is a minimum of $60 (before shipping/tax), I’ll send you two each of three cards. To create this card sampler, I used Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Simply Said.
Here’s What You’ll Receive:
- All the paper and embellishments needed to make six cards. Envelopes will also be provided. For this sampler you only need to provide a stamp set, ink and adhesive (see below for what you’ll need).
- A PDF Tutorial with instructions, pictures, cutting measurements and a complete supply list of all the products used.
- Earn at least one Bradley Point (earn ten Bradley Points and redeem them for free product) when your order is $50 or more.
- If your order is over $150, please do not use the host code or you won’t receive your Stampin’ Rewards. After you place your order, simply email me and let me know that you’d like the Mediterranean Blooms Card Sampler #2 (you only need to do this if your order is over $150). You can send me an email on the sidebar.
All the Other Important Information:
- Your Mediterranean Blooms Card Sampler will be shipped first-class mail approximately April 17, 2025 and will be mailed to the address used on your online order.
- You’ll receive an email when I mail your Card Sampler and the PDF Tutorial will be included in that email.
- When using the Mediterranean Blooms Card Sampler host code to place your order, you will not qualify for other current host code rewards.
- Per Stampin’ Up! policy, card samplers can only be mailed within the United States.
You’ll receive all the materials to make six cards. You’ll quickly have beautiful cards ready to be mailed out to someone special. If you can’t make the cards once they arrive, no worries, each card is labeled in its own clear envelope which makes it easy to come back to later. Once you’ve made all the cards in the Sampler, you’ll be able to easily replicate each card by following the easy to follow directions in the PDF (pictures are included as well).
The special Mediterranean Blooms Card Sampler HOST CODE will close at the end of the day on April 7, 2025 and after that date, the Card Sampler will no longer be available.
Approximate ship date of the Card Sampler is April 17, 2025.

The card I’m sharing with you today was made using Cute As Can Bee Designer Series Paper, Happy Hibiscus stamp set, Countryside Corners Dies, Starstruck Embossing Folder (FREE with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration which ends on Friday), and Glossy Dots Assortment.

I started with a piece of Pool Party cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Starstruck Embossing Folder and then adhered it to the card front. This embossing folder is free with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration which ends on Friday!


I used the Countryside Corners Dies to cut a piece of Cute As Can Bee DSP and Pool Party cardstock. I adhered the DSP to the Pool Party cardstock and then adhered it to the front of the card.



I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Happy Hibiscus stamp set in Pool Party ink. I cut it out using Countryside Corners Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I added five Glossy Dots to the front of the card and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

The card I’m sharing with you today was made with the Happy Hibiscus Bundle (this bundle is an Online Exclusive). I also used 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper, Countryside Corners Dies, and 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems.


I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I adhered a piece of 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper to the front of the card base (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List).


Next, I used the Countryside Corners Dies to cut a piece of Summer Splash cardstock and Basic White cardstock. When I cut out the Basic White I ran it through the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder and then adhered it to the Summer Splash cardstock. Then, I adhered it to the card base.


I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Happy Hibiscus stamp set in Summer Splash ink. I cut it out with the dies that come with the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder (it comes with 11 dies). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and adhered it to the front of the card.
Next, I added three Summer Splash Shimmer Gems to the embossed cardstock.

Last Chance Products

I find it helpful to go up to the top of Last Chance Products Category and sort the products from A-Z. Then, they are in alphabetical order. My brain just works better when products are in alphabetical order.
- The Last Chance Products category will include retiring products from the September -December 2024 Mini Catalog and Online Exclusive releases, excluding Paper Pumpkin. When the Annual Catalog retires, you will find the retiring products in the Last Chance Products category of the online store (this won’t happen until the beginning of April).
- Last Chance Products in this category are available while supplies last and will be discontinued when they sell out. Items will be automatically removed from the category and the online store when they are discontinued.
- Discounts vary and are subject to change.
- Stampin’ Up! may add individual items from bundles or suite collections to the Last Chance Products category. If one or more products from the suite collection or bundle are in the Last Chance Products category, then the bundle and suite collection will also appear in this category. The bundle or suite will not be orderable if one or more of the items in the bundle or suite collection sell out. Our standard 10% bundle discounts will be available if one or more of the items move to the Last Chance Product category; however, the item in the Last Chance Products category may have a deeper discount.
- There may be times Stampin’ Up! will need to discontinue certain products outside of this process. This can happen due to factors outside our control, such as overseas shipping issues, disruptions to the supply chain for raw materials, or changes to our suppliers. If a product is discontinued outside the process, it won’t be available in our Last Chance Products category.
- There will no longer be a Clearance Rack, it will be now known as the Last Chance Products page.

Mystery Boxes
I’ve decided to extend my Mystery Boxes until October 7th. You have two choices now. I have filled Medium Flat Rate USPS shipping boxes stuffed with retired products. All of the products in the Mystery Boxes have retired but some have never been used, some are used and all are “as is”. Some of the stamp sets are wood mount and there is some staining on the wood but that doesn’t affect the quality of the stamps. Some of the photopolymer stamp sets are stained but that doesn’t affect the quality of the stamps. All of the stamp sets are a variety of red rubber, photopolymer and wood mount.

You have two choices:
Choice A New Update: I only have one of these boxes available. So please contact me before placing your order to see if I have any left:
- 3 Die/Stamp Set Bundles
- 8 stamp sets
- (2) packages of 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper
- one embossing folder
- 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper
- one punch
- ribbon and anything else I can fill it with
Choice B
- Ten stamp sets
- Two punches
- Two sets of dies that can be used with your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine
- One Embossing Folder
- One or more embellishments and anything else I can fill it with
I will contact you and ask you which box you’d like!!
There are two ways to get a Mystery Box:
- Place a minimum $125 order (before shipping/tax) at my Stampin’ Up! online store using the host code MFFGQNBX and I will send a Mystery Box to you as a free gift and I’ll even pay the postage! Using the host code will alert me that you want a Mystery Box. If you order is $150 or more, please DO NOT use the host code so you can receive Stampin’ Rewards (free product) directly from Stampin’ Up! After you’ve placed your order (only if your order is $150 or more), please email me that you’d like a Mystery Box (click “Email Me” on the sidebar).
- If you don’t want to place an order, you can purchase a Mystery Box for $100 plus $16 postage. Email me that you’d like a Mystery Box and I’ll send you a PayPal invoice (click “Email Me” on the sidebar).
