I’m slowly working my way towards posting on a regular basis again. My goal is to post several days each week so while I don’t normally post on a weekend, I’m trying this new schedule out. I’m still at my mom’s as my sister and I are planning a Celebration of Life for our mom while also cleaning out her big house that she lived in for almost 53 years. It’s a lot of memories to go through and make decisions on! Making cards has been a nice creative outlet and having new products to play with makes it even better.
Today’s card was made with the Seasonal Branches Bundle which includes the Seasonal Branches stamp set and Seasonal Branches Dies. I also used Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper and the Stylish Shapes Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the middle of the card.
I stamped the bird in Memento Ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Seasonal Branches stamp set and then colored it with Boho Blue and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends. I cut it out using the Seasonal Branches Dies. I stamped the leaves in Garden Green ink onto Basic White cardstock and the branches in Early Espresso ink and also cut them out with the Seasonal Branches Dies.
I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a square out of Basic White cardstock and glued it to a square I cut out using Boho Blue cardstock. I adhered the two pieces together and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adhering it to the front of the card. I glued the branch, leaves and bird to the Basic White square.
I stamped the sentiment in Boho Blue ink to Basic White cardstock using the stamp set Seasonal Branches. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and then cut a larger circle out of Lemon Lolly cardstock and adhered the two pieces together. I added adhesive to the upper left corner of the Lemon Lolly circle and adhered it to the lower right corner of the Boho Blue/Basic White square.
To complete the card, I added three 2023-2025 In Color Dots to the bottom of the Basic White square.

Thank you so much for all the words of comfort and condolences after the passing of my mom. I read every single email and blog comment and each one was very much appreciated. Words of comfort do make a difference and I thank you. We laid my mom to rest this past Monday and she is now reunited with my dad who passed away 14 years ago.
As you know, we launched a new Annual Catalog on May 2nd with lots of new products. I was able to sit down a few days ago and make a card using the stamp set, Circle Sayings, Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, and some of our new pretty colors, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly, Copper Clay and Berry Burst.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. I embossed a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock (I love this shade of pink) using one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders.
I stamped the cupcake onto Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink and then colored it using these Stampin’ Blends: Lemon Lolly, Bubble Bath and Copper Clay. I cut the cupcake out using Paper Snips. If you don’t want to fussy cut the cupcake, you can stamp it directly on the larger Basic White square mentioned below. I had a different idea when making the card that I didn’t do and that’s why I cut it out.
I then cut a strip of Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper along with two squares using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut another larger square out of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the strip towards the bottom of the embossed cardstock and then adhered this layer to the card base.
I adhered the cupcake to the Basic White square. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the cupcake square only. I adhered the Designer Series Paper squares to the card first, at an angle, and then added the cupcake square.
I stamped the sentiment in Berry Burst ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Circle Sayings, and then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the Designer Series Paper strip. To complete my card, I added five Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins.

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.

It’s with a very heavy heart and much sadness that I share that my precious mom passed away on May 2nd. There’s a big hole in my heart right now as I navigate life without her.
Here’s a picture of my beautiful mom just a few months ago.
Hug your loved ones tightly.

I wanted to pop in today to let you know I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth. As many of you know, my mom went in for major surgery on March 31st. She had a section of her lung removed due to cancer. We went to the doctor several days after she was released and everything was looking very good. Eleven days ago my sister and I took her to the Emergency Room because she was very weak, not eating, and more. It was discovered she had massive clots in her lungs which in turn was making her heart weak. She’s on medication for the lung clots and thankfully her heart is okay. It’s been a long, and very frightening road. She is still very weak and several days ago she was put on a feeding tube. Her doctor feels she will come out of this. We expect that she will be released from the hospital in a few more days, if nothing else goes wrong.
Once my mom is stable, I will start sending thank you emails for the orders that have come in. If you are expecting Card Samplers, they will be late. Yesterday I was at the hospital from 7:00 – 7:00 and once I’m home, I just can’t focus on anything. My sister and I have hope that our precious mom will make it through this.
Thank you for your understanding.

I’m still taking care of my mom, along with my sister, as our mom recovers from major surgery. I had no idea my mom would be coming home with a tube in her chest but she did. At the doctor’s appointment last week, the tube wasn’t ready to come out but we’re hoping it will this week – we’ve heard the pain lessens once it comes out. We’re trying to keep our mom comfortable and giving pain meds and antibiotics to her around the clock. As you can understand, I’m not making cards regularly but was able to make some cards for my Card Sampler this weekend and it felt so great to create. When I come to visit my mom, (I knew I’d be here for an extended amount of time), I always bring my Stampin’ Up! supplies.
If you have recently placed an order with me, please know I appreciate your order. Thanks so much for your patience as I take care of my precious mom.

I have a card for you today using Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper (retiring and on sale), Fragrant Flowers stamp set (retiring), Layering Circles Dies (retiring) and Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder (not retiring but on the Low Inventory List). I am so sad that Layering Circles Dies are retiring!!! They are a staple in my craft room as well as the Stitched Rectangles Dies (on sale), which are also retiring!!!
I started with a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card front. Next, I cut two pieces of Night of Navy cardstock, layered them with two different designs of Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper and adhered them to the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Fragrant Flowers stamp set. I cut the sentiment out using the Layering Circles Dies and then cut a larger scalloped circle out of Calypso Coral cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the scalloped circle, 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. Imagine all the possibilities with different cardstock and Designer Series Paper!

Thanks for stopping by today!
by Tracy | Apr 3, 2023 | Uncategorized
Thank you so very much for all the well wishes and prayers for my mom. She survived the surgery! She’s 91 and of course, it was in the back of my mind that she might not get through the operation even though all her doctors gave her the green light! Her recovery is going well but there are a few concerns. She’s in good spirits and the hospital staff is taking good care of her. Hopefully she’ll be home next week and my sister and I will take over nursing duties.
While my mom’s surgery was going on, I looked through the catalog with the Retiring Lists and since then an updated list has come out. We’ve never had two catalogs retiring at the same time and an Online Exclusive Store, so things are a little confusing right now. I did see that someone had posted a larger print list but not with the new updates so I don’t have one for you. Demonstrators did receive some updated information so let me pass that on to you.
There were two products left off the Last Chance Products List that are retiring:
Gnomes Dies
Shimmery White cardstock
The products below will be carrying over into the new Online Exclusive category in the Online Store which means they will not be in a catalog.These products will be in the Online Exclusives category on May 2, 2023. I’ll list them and then put then put them in a Supply List so that if you need more information, you can click on the product in the table.
- Designer Tag Dies
- Mini Pocket Envelope Dies
- Nested Friends cling stamp set
- Nested Friends Dies
- Queen Bee cling stamp set (the dies are retiring and will be discounted 60% tomorrow)
- Warm Welcome photopolymer stamp set (the dies are retiring and will be discounted 60% tomorrow)
- Dry Brushed Metallic 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper
- Base Plate & Die Plate Pack (for Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine)
- Mini Base Plate & Embossing Plates pack
- White 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon
- Silver Foil 12″ x 12″ Specialty Pack
Usually bundles do not carry over from one catalog to the next except in rare instances. Here’s a table of bundles that ARE retiring but the individual products are NOT. If you’ve had your eye on one of these bundles, you can save 10% but only until May 1, 2023. Some of these products were offered in photopolymer AND cling. I don’t believe there’s a choice in the new catalog so whatever I’ve listed below is carrying over.
The Fragrant Flowers Photopolymer Bundle was also on this list but it isn’t in the catalog and I didn’t receive information that it would be in the Online Exclusives store so I’m assuming it will be online. Update: I just saw the Fragrant Flowers Photopolymer Bundle on the SU! website so it must have been an error that it’s returning.
The Stamparatus was on the Low Inventory List and now it’s on the Non Orderable List so I’m assuming it has sold out.
Here are the updated lists:
2022-2023 Annual Catalog
January April 2023 Mini Catalog
If you have a question about a product and whether it’s retiring, email me. It may take a few hours to get back to you but I will. I’ve been spending all day with my mom in the hospital but I really don’t mind if you have a question.
Tomorrow at 12:00 am Mountain Time, select retiring products will be on sale!
