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!

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!

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.

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.

Demonstrators will be able to take a peek at the new Annual Catalog today at noon, Mountain Time. This catalog will go live on May 2, 2023. Later today, I will post again and let you know which colors are retiring. If you have subscribed to my blog, you will NOT get a notice that I’ve written a post. Notifications go out at 8:00 am Pacific each morning so any post I write after eight in the morning, goes out the following day to my post notification subscribers. You’ll have to come back here later today to check my blog post.
I am currently at my mom’s as she’s having surgery this Friday. My blog posts may be sporadic for the next week or so. I’m trying to schedule my posts ahead of time but it may not happen. Thanks for your understanding.
UPDATE: All the Mystery Boxes are Gone! I will have more in the near future! Update on Mystery Boxes: I have one box left. PLEASE contact me if you’d like one before placing your order so you aren’t disappointed that I don’t have one for you. Please see THIS POST for the all the information about my Mystery Boxes, including the host code.
Today’s card was made using an Online Exclusive Specialty Designer Series Paper called Naturally Gilded. I also used the Painted Labels Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Cup of Tea stamp set and one of the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders.
I started with a piece of Thick Very Vanilla cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Gold Foil and adhered it to the base of the card. I took a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using one of the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders. Because this is a smaller embossing folder, I had to run it through the machine twice.
I cut a piece of Naturally Gilded Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the embossed Very Vanilla and then adhered that piece to the Gold Foil. I then embossed the sentiment using the stamp set, Cup of Tea, Versamark and Gold Embossing Powder (if you haven’t embossed before, I’ve included directions below). Embossing anything on a card always adds a bit of elegance to it, don’t you think? I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut the sentiment out. Next, I used the Painted Labels Dies to cut the decorative circle out of Gold Foil and then adhered the sentiment to it. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three gold Festive Pearls to the front of the card.
Here’s another version of the card using Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper. I didn’t want to cover up the design on the paper so I moved the panel of Designer Series Paper over to the left. I used Flirty Flamingo cardstock, Flirty Flamingo ink and Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
Here’s another version using Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper, Petal Pink cardstock, Sweet Sorbet ink and Brushed Brass Butterflies.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy (an anti-static pouch that can be found in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit) over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder. Stamp your sentiment or image using a Versamark pad. This is very sticky ink and your embossing powder will stick right to it. Sprinkle embossing powder over the stamped image and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so your paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image becomes shiny and beautiful!
Supply List

These measurements and colors pertain to the first card. All the measurements are the same for all three cards.

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).
More Information
- You must use the host code WX7BR2GG when placing your order (if your order is over $150, do not use the host code – see above)
- $100 order must be before tax/shipping amount
- One box per order
- Using the host code will let me know you want a Mystery Box
- No refunds or exchanges.
- Only available while supplies last.
- Each box will be different and a mystery! The boxes are already sealed up and I’m unable to take requests for the contents of the boxes.
- Once all the boxes are gone, I’ll update this page.
- Feel free to email me before placing an order to see if I have boxes available.
