I do have three cards for you today, but first a recap from yesterday. The Stampin’ Up! colors below are retiring and my guess is that anything in these colors will sell out fast!
Here are the returning In Colors. I know that some of you have been purchasing from Stampin’ Up! for a while and will recognize these colors!
I haven’t had a chance yet to go through the Annual Catalog to see everything that’s retiring but I do know two of my favorites, staples in my craft room are retiring: Layering Circles Dies and Stitched Rectangles Dies (big sigh). FYI: The program I use to show these products always calls the Stitched Rectangles Dies, Rectangle Stitched Dies).
On to today’s cards. These are a continuation from yesterday’s post – same layout, same products, different Designer Series Paper (if you missed yesterday’s post, you can see it here).
This first card was made using Flowers & More Designer Series Paper, (retiring), Brushed Brass Butterflies and Gorgeous Grape ink. Flowers & More Designer Series Paper is a host only product and you can choose it with Stampin’ Rewards when your order is $150 or more. With all the cards, I also used Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders, Cup of Tea Stamp Set (retiring), Painted Labels Dies (retiring), and Stylish Shapes Dies.
This next card was made with Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper (retiring), Petal Pink cardstock and Mint Macaron ink (retiring), I also used Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels, which are also retiring.
This last card was made with Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper (retiring), Night of Navy cardstock, Night of Navy ink and Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Update: The Mystery Boxes are all gone! I will have more in the near future!
When you place a $100 or more order at my Stampin’ Up! online store and use the host code WX7BR2GG, you’ll earn one of my Mystery Boxes with retired product but only while supplies last!
What’s a Mystery Box?
I have SO MUCH retired Stampin’ Up! product in my home that we’re busting at the seams with it and I’d like to give it all to a new home. I’ve been a demonstrator for almost 14 years so you can just imagine how much I have! I have Medium Rate Flat Rate USPS shipping boxes stuffed with retired Stampin’ Up! product.The boxes contain Designer Series Paper, stamps, punches, dies, ribbon, embellishments and more! The boxes are already sealed and every box will be different and a mystery as to what’s inside! See example below.
All of the products in the Mystery Boxes have retired but some have never been used, some are used and all are “as is”.
There are two ways to get a Mystery Box
- Place a $100 or more order (before shipping/tax) at my Stampin’ Up! online store using the host code WX7BR2GG. 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 your 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 $65 plus $15.00 postage. Email me that you want a box and I’ll send you a PayPal invoice (click “Email Me” on the sidebar).

The colors for today’s card was inspired by fellow demonstrator, Susan Campfield. The card isn’t on her blog but I saw it on Instagram. I thought the colors she used were so beautiful together that I wanted to create my own card! I used the stamp set, Limited Edition, one of the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders, Stylish Shapes Dies and the Layering Circles Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I layered a piece of Highland Heather cardstock with Fresh Freesia cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card (I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Highland Heather returns and Fresh Freesia is added to the collection). You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.
I cut four 1-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ cardstock squares out of Pool Party, Balmy Blue, Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather. Then I placed them in one of the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders and ran them through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock, adhered the squares to it and then adhered the square to the front of the card. I cut a piece of Highland Heather cardstock and ran it through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the same embossing folder. After adhering it to the front of the card, I added three Glossy Dots to the strip.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Highland Heather ink and the stamp set, Limited Edition. Next, I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a scalloped circle out of Fresh Freesia cardstock using the Layering Circles Dies and layered it with the sentiment. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
Here’s another version of the card without the Fresh Freesia scalloped circle.

Today I have several cards to share with you, all using the same layout. I used Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Go To Greetings.
I used Calypso Coral cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock, placed it in one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine before adhering it to the card base. Then, I cut two more pieces of Calypso Coral cardstock and layered them with Designer Series Paper. I adhered one to the card base but added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the other and then adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Calypso Coral ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Go To Greetings. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the center of the card.
To complete my card, I added three Iridescent Rhinestone Basic jewels to the front. I also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
Below are two more versions of the card. In this first card, I used Parakeet Party and Fresh Freesia cardstock, Parakeet Party ink, Fern 3D Embossing Folder and Elegant Faceted Gems.
For this next card, I used Calypso Coral ink and cardstock, Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder and Elegant Faceted Gems.

Thanks so much to those of you who left a comment. I wish you could all win but I picked one name and you can find it below!

Today’s Card
Today’s card is a fun fold that features the Simply Fabulous stamp set, Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and the Brilliant Wings Dies.
I started with a piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock for the base of my card. Then I used a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock, scored it in two places and adhered it to the base of the card, making sure that the larger flap was at the bottom so that the top flap could fold over the bottom one. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List,
I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card. Then, I cut a piece of Country Gingham Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the bottom panel. I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock, placed it inside one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered this piece to the top panel. The Basics 3D Embossing Folders are currently on the Low Inventory List so if you’ve been thinking about purchasing them, I recommend getting them now.
I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a square out of Basic White cardstock, Then, I placed it in my Stamparatus and stamped the sentiment in Orchid Oasis ink using the stamp set, Simply Fabulous. The Stamparatus is great for getting a dark, crisp image because the powerful magnets hold the paper in place and you can stamp over and over again until you’re happy with results.
I adhered the sentiment to a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock and then on the back, I added two rows of Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhered the piece to the top panel.
I used the Brilliant Wings Dies to cut a butterfly out of Orchid Oasis cardstock. I cut a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional in half and placed the two pieces down the middle of the butterfly and adhered it to the sentiment piece. To finish my card, I added an Iridescent Pearl to the butterfly.
