Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Are you having any special foods today? My husband, Mark, has been curing a brisket for over a week and then he’ll be cooking it on the smoker later today. I’m not overly fond of corned beef but he’s been talking about making it for a few months now so we’ll be enjoying corned beef, potatoes, carrots, and cabbage tonight!
I have a St. Patrick’s Day Special! All orders $50 or more that use my host code 6BY7CN9F will receive a package of the beautiful Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewelsas my free gift to you! I love all the colors of blues and greens in this package of gems. Unfortunately they’ll only be around until supplies last so I’ve been purchasing them for this special!
This offer is good starting today and will end on Monday, March 21st.

The Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine is on sale this month as well as select bundles that are compatible with the Mini Machine. Click on any of the products below for more information. Three bundles were brought back just for this promotion: Art Gallery, Celebrate Sunflowers and Garden Wishes.
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.
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.
The Specialty Plate is used with 3D Embossing Folders.
Basic White cardstock (sentiment): approx. 3-1/4″ x 1-1/4″
Basic White cardstock (flower square): approx. 2-1/4″ x 2-1/4″

Bundle Alert: The Quiet Meadow Bundle is on sale for $47.00. It includes the Meadow Dies (used for today’s card) and the Quiet Meadow stamp set.

Today I’m sharing a past Paper Pumpkin kit that’s currently on the Clearance Rack (not at a clearance price) BUT it’s only available for purchase to current Paper Pumpkin customers. About ten days ago I was looking around the Stampin’ Up! site and checked out the Clearance Rack. When I saw the Expressions in Color Paper Pumpkin Kit, I remembered that I never made my kit (it’s from June 2021 – yikes!) so I pulled it out and created the cards.
Here’s a picture of everything you’ll receive.
I didn’t make my cards exactly as shown and used a Gorgeous Grape ink pad for one of the cards. You can see my versions below (the first one is my very favorite).
Inside each Paper Pumpkin box there are instructions in the form of pictures but Stampin’ Up! also provides a video each month. Below you’ll find the video for the Expressions in Color Paper Pumpkin Past Kit.
You must be a current Paper Pumpkin customer to purchase this kit.
Beyond the Horizon Paper Pumpkin Kit
This month’s current Paper Pumpkin kit is called Beyond the Horizon and coordinates with the New Horizons Suite Collection. This month not just one stamp set will be included in the kit but TWO! If you’d like to purchase Beyond the Horizon, you have until March 10th to sign up!
This month’s kit contains enough elements to create 9 cards—3 each of 3 designs—and 9 coordinating envelopes. This all-inclusive kit includes printed card bases, die-cut paper pieces, embellishments, adhesive, and more!
The Beyond the Horizon Paper Pumpkin Kit includes a Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin’ Spot!
This kit’s stamp set is perfect for any occasion. With sentiments that say “thanks”, “hello”, “thinking of you,” and so many more, you’ll be able to use this stamp set year round.
And if you thought one stamp set was great just wait—this month’s kit comes with a BONUS stamp set for FREE! That’s two stamp sets in one kit! It’s our way of saying THANK YOU to you our Paper Pumpkin subscribers.
The Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine is on sale during the month of March but once stock is depleted, the sale will be over. If you have a catalog, it’s very easy to see if a set of dies is compatible with this smaller machine. An icon will be beside the dies that says Mini! I decided to count and see how many dies would actually fit in the Mini and I have to say, I was very surprised! There are 31 in the Annual Catalog and 19 in the Mini Catalog!!
Just for the month of March, you can also save 20% on thirteen different die/stamp bundles that are compatible with the Mini and three of them were brought back just for this promotion! Click on any of the images for more information.

March 1st has arrived and five new Stampin’ Up products from the Waves of the Ocean collection are now available plus the Savings Are In Bloom sale has begun! This blog post is jammed packed with information but first, I’d like to share my card for today.
I started with a piece of Pacific Point cardstock for the base of my card and then added a layer of Waves of the Ocean Designer Series Paper (this paper is only available while supplies last). Then I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
I stamped the sentiment using the stamp set, Happy & Heartfelt, in Pacific Point ink onto the stitched rectangle and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the Designer Series Paper.Then I used the same design of paper to die-cut a butterfly using the Brilliant Wings Dies. I placed two Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals down the center of the butterfly and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and then added three Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels to the front of the card. When these rhinestones arrived in my preorder, the first words out of my mouth were, “WOW, these are beautiful!!!!” I’m definitely buying more of them! These rhinestones are only available while supplies last!

I started with a piece of Pale Papaya cardstock for the card base and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I used the Stitched Rectangles Dies to cut two pieces of Heart & Home Designer Series Paper and adhered them to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Garden Green ink and the stamp set, Flowing Flowers and then cut it out using the Hippo & Friends Dies. Next, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and placed it in the middle of the card. To complete my card, I added three Polished Dots to the sentiment piece and adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
