I have two cards to share with you today but first, I want to let you know that today’s the last day my Flowers & More Card Sampler will be available!
Flowers & More Card Sampler
I created this Card Sampler using Flowers & More Designer Series Paper (this is a host only product and can be earned when your order is $150 or more) and the stamp set, Charming Sentiments.
Place a minimum $35 or $50 order using my special host code XVTH42PS and my gift to you will be my Flowers & More Card Sampler.
You now have a choice:
- Place a minimum $35 order and you’ll receive one each of three different cards for a total of three cards.
- Place a minimum $50 order and you’ll receive two each of three different cards for a total of six cards.
Here’s how you can earn it FREE!
- Place a minimum $35 or $50 order (before tax/shipping) at my Stampin’ Up! online store.
- Use my special Flowers & More Card Sampler Host Code when placing your order (see below) BUT if your order reaches $150 or more, please DO NOT use the host code so you can receive Stampin’ Rewards (free product directly from Stampin’ Up!). Once you place your order, simply drop me an email (only necessary if your order is over $150) letting me know that you’d like the Flowers & More Card Sampler.
- Orders must be placed by the end of today, March 21, 2023.
- Card Samplers will be mailed approximately March 31, 2023
You’ll need to supply your own stamp set, adhesive and ink. For more details and the supplies you’ll need, please click HERE.
Yesterday I shared three cards using the same layout and today I have two more! If you missed yesterday’s post, you can see it HERE. Just like yesterday, I used Butterfly Kisses 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, Go To Greetings stamp set and the Stylish Shapes Dies.
I started with a piece of Parakeet Party cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock, placed it inside the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder, ran it through the Cut & Emboss Machine and then adhered it to the front of the card. I cut two pieces of Parakeet Party cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) and layered them with two different patterns of Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper. I adhered the bottom piece with Multipurpose Glue but added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the other one before adhering it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Parakeet Party ink and the stamp set, Go to Greetings. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card. To complete my card, I added three Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems to the front of the card.
Here’s another version using all of the same products.

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.

by Tracy | Mar 17, 2023 | Stampin' Blends
Today’s card was created using the Stampin’ Up! stamp set Speedy Recovery. I needed a small sentiment to put in the corner and I found “I miss you” from the stamp set, Cup of Tea worked perfectly! I also used the Stylish Shapes Dies and 2022-2024 In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then, I layered a piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock with a piece of In Color Designer Series Paper in Sweet Sorbet on both sides of the card. I also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
I used the two largest square dies in the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock and Basic White cardstock (the two smallest squares on my card). Then, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered the Orchid Oasis square to it. I stamped the flowers onto the small Basic White square using Memento Ink and the stamp set, Speedy Recovery. I colored it using these Stampin’ Blends:
- Sweet Sorbet
- Orchid Oasis
- Granny Apple Green
- Daffodil Delight
When I finished coloring, I stamped “I Miss You” in Sweet Sorbet ink, in the corner, using the stamp set, Cup of Tea.
To complete my card, I added three 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots in Orchid Oasis around the flowers.
Supply List

Before sharing my card with you today, I want to announce the winner of my Blog Candy Giveaway! I read every single entry and immensely enjoyed reading how each of you go through a brand new catalog. I like to go from cover to cover very slowly, taking it all in. Then I go through it again and start writing down in my notebook what I’d like to purchase. 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.
Supply List
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.
Measurements
- Orchid Oasis cardstock (base) 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″

- Sweet Sorbet cardstock: 11″ x 4″ score at 2-3/4″ & 8″

Today’s card was created using Flowers & More Designer Series Paper. This is a host only gift that you can choose when your order reaches $150 because then you start earning Stampin’ Rewards. You can find this pack of paper on page 90 in the Mini Catalog. I also used the stamp set, Love Cats and the Stylish Shapes Dies.
I started with a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock for the base of my card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then I added a layer of Fresh Freesia cardstock. This is one of the In Colors that will be retiring but with the Color Refresh, it could possibly be back (I’m keeping my fingers crossed). If you love this color and will be disappointed if it isn’t coming back, you’ll want to be sure to stock up on ink refills and cardstock in this color just as soon as you can. The stamp pad has been on the Low Inventory List since last week. You can see some of the Fresh Freesia products here.
I cut a piece of Flowers & More Designer Series Paper that measures 3-3/4″ x 3″. I put the 3-3/4″ edge at the top of my trimmer and cut 3/4″ strips for a total of five. Then I glued them to a piece of Basic White cardstock and then adhered this piece to the Fresh Freesia.
I stamped the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Love Cats. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Then, I cut a larger stitched circle, using the same dies, out of Fresh Freesia. I adhered the two pieces together, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the center of the card. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added three Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems, in Fresh Freesia, around the sentiment.

Before sharing my cards with you today, I want to let you know that four out of five 2021-2023 In Color Stamp Pads are on the Low Inventory List. At this point, we don’t know if these colors will be making a comeback in the Color Refresh but if they aren’t, they will sell out soon. I know this is frustrating not knowing which colors are retiring (it is for me too) but if you have a favorite color, in any shade, be sure to get extra ink refills and any other items associated with that color. We’ll know in a few weeks what colors are retiring but it’s anyone’s guess right now.
These stamp pads are on the Low Inventory List
I have two cards to share with you today and they are a variation of a card I shared last month. You can see that card HERE. I used the stamp sets, Full of Love and Sentimental Park, Stitched Rectangles Dies and Scalloped Contours Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I used a sheet of Orchid Oasis Designer Series Paper from the In Color 2022-2024 Assortment Pack and cut it using the Scalloped Contours Dies. After adhering it to the Thick Basic White cardstock, I used the Stitched Rectangles Dies to cut a rectangle out of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the flowers and envelope from the Full of Love stamp set in Memento Ink. I used the stamp set, Sentimental Park, to stamp the sentiment in Memento Ink.
I colored the flowers and leaves using these Stampin’ Blends:
- Orchid Oasis
- Daffodil Delight
- Sweet Sorbet
- Granny Apple Green
After coloring, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the rectangle and adhered it to the front of the card. I cut two 8″ pieces of White Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack and made a bow. I added a small amount of glue to the paper and then adhered the bow.
For this next card, I used a sheet of Highland Heather in the Subtles 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper Assortment Pack (which is also on the Low Inventory List and may retire once it’s gone because it may contain retiring colors). I used all the same products except I used the Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends to color the flowers on the right.
Supply List
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.

I’m always happy to send complimentary copies of our catalogs to my customers but due to the rising cost of postage, I’m asking that you request one (it will still be complimentary). Normally I’d send a new catalog to anyone who has ordered from me in the past six months but I know that many of my customers shop with several different demonstrators and again due to the rising costs of mailing, I’d rather have you request a catalog so that you don’t have several catalogs from several different demonstrators. Thanks so much for your understanding!!

Today’s card was created using the Elephant Parade Bundle which includes the Elephant Parade stamp set and the Elephant Dies. I also used the stamp set, By My Side, Country Gingham Designer Series Paper and one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I layered a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock with a piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered the layer to the base of the card. I cut a piece of Country Gingham Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the front of the card.
I cut a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock and placed it in inside one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and ran it through the Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered this piece to the front of the card.
Next, I layered a piece of Gray Granite cardstock with a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the same embossing folder that I used for the Mint Macaron. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock and then colored the elephant using these Stampin’ Blends:
- Gray Granite (Light and Dark)
- Petal Pink (Light)
I cut the elephant out using the Elephant Dies and then set it aside. I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, By My Side, and Mint Macaron ink and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. The die I used was longer than I would need so when I cut it out, I made sure the sentiment was over to the right. I glued the sentiment to the elephant and then added adhesive to the back of the elephant and sentiment (except for the part that hangs over the Gray Granite layer) and adhered the elephant to the front of the card.
To complete my card I added five 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds to the front of the card. These gems are in Soft Succulent but I think they match really well with the Mint Macaron Designer Series Paper.

I’ll be sending my first newsletter out on Friday! If you’d like to receive updates from me 2-4 times each month, please sign up. I’ll have a tutorial for today’s card in the newsletter. You can click here to sign up or click the image below.
Today’s card was made using the same layout as yesterday’s card (you can see that card HERE – you’ll need to scroll down to see the card). I used Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper, one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch.
I used a piece of Soft Sea Foam cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a two pieces of Basic White cardstock. I adhered one to the inside of the card and the other was placed inside one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and it was run through the Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I adhered it to the card front.
I cut a small strip of Soft Sea Foam cardstock (all the measurements are below the Supply List) and placed it inside the same embossing folder that I used for the first layer and ran it through the Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I adhered it to the center of the card.
I cut a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock and layered it with a piece of Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper and then adhered it to the card front, at an angle. I cut another piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock and layered it with another piece of Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper, added adhesive to the back and placed it on the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock in Evening Evergreen ink using the stamp set, Irresistible Blooms, and then cut it out using the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added three small rhinestones below the sentiment and two, larger ones towards the top of the card.

I have two cards to share with you today but first, today’s the last day to place a $35 or $50 order using the host code MCHHAXEE to receive my Perfectly Penciled Card Sampler. I used our Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper to create the cards. What’s nice about this paper is that you can color in the images with Stampin’ Blends or colored pencils or use it with just the black and white images (the cards I’m sharing today – see below – have the images colored in). You can’t go wrong either way!
You now have a choice:
- Place a minimum $35 order and you’ll receive one each of three different cards for a total of three cards.
- Place a minimum $50 order and you’ll receive two each of three different cards for a total of six cards.
Here’s how you can earn it FREE!
- Place a minimum $35 or $50 order (before tax/shipping) at my Stampin’ Up! online store.
- Use my special Perfectly Penciled Card Sampler Host Code when placing your order (see below) BUT if your order reaches $150 or more, please DO NOT use the host code so you can receive Stampin’ Rewards (free product directly from Stampin’ Up!). Once you place your order, simply drop me an email (only necessary if your order is over $150) letting me know that you’d like the Perfectly Penciled Card Sampler.
- Place your order before the end of today, March 7, 2023.
Here’s What You’ll Receive:
- All the paper and embellishments needed to make three or six cards. If your order is $50 or more, you’ll receive two each of three different cards. The paper will be cut, scored, and die cut for you! Envelopes will also be provided. You’ll need to supply your own adhesive, ink and stamp set.
- 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).
All the Other Important Information:
- Your Perfectly Penciled Card Sampler will ship first-class mail approximately March 17, 2023 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 Perfectly Penciled 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 three or six cards (one or two of each design) and each card is packaged separately in it’s own clear envelope. You’ll quickly have beautiful cards ready to be mailed out to someone special. 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 Perfectly Penciled Card Sampler HOST CODE will close at the end of today, March 7, 2023 and after today, the Card Sampler will no longer be available.
Approximate ship date of the Card Sampler is March 17, 2023.
Supplies Needed To Create the Card Sampler
Listed below are the supplies you’ll need to complete the cards exactly as shown (or you can use what you already own). Simply click any of the products and you’ll be taken to my Stampin’ Up! online store. When placing your order, don’t forget to use the special Card Sampler Host Code (please do not use host code if your order is over $150 – see above).
Today’s cards were created using Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper, the Irresistible Blooms stamp set, one of the new Basics 3D Embossing Folders and was colored with Stampin’ Blends.
I started with a piece of Basic Black cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I cut two pieces of Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) and adhered one to the inside of the card. I placed the other piece inside one of the new Basics 3D Embossing Folders and ran it through my Cut & Emboss Machine and then adhered it to the front of the card.
I cut a small strip of Basic Black cardstock and ran it through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the same embossing folder that I used for the Basic White cardstock. I then adhered it to the front of the card.
I cut two pieces of Basic Black cardstock and two pieces of Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper. I adhered the longer piece of Designer Series Paper to the Basic Black cardstock and then adhered it to the card base, at a slant. Before adhering the other piece to the Basic Black cardstock, I colored it using my Sweet Sorbet and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends.
Quick Tip: When cutting the 3″ x 2-3/4″ piece of Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper, you’ll want the 2-3/4″ (shorter side) at the top and bottom. I’m telling you because when I first made the card, I did it the opposite way and had to start over.
Another Quick Tip: When using Stampin’ Blends, always color with a piece of scratch paper underneath. The ink will bleed through and this will protect the surface of your table or desk. I like to use our Grid Paper and fold it in half for extra protection.
After coloring the flowers, I adhered the Designer Series Paper to the Basic Black cardstock and then adhered it to the front of the card. I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento ink and the stamp set, Irresistible Blooms. I then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I love the stitching on these dies! I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I made several of these cards and where I placed the sentiment was dependent on whether I didn’t like my coloring in one spot!! To complete my card, I added three Iridescent Pearls to the black strip.
Here’s another version of the card using another design in the package of Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper. I used all the same products as the first card.

If you are a customer of mine and would like to have the Annual Catalog mailed to you and you’ve ordered from me in the last six months, please click HERE.
Last week many new products went live. These products will not be in a catalog but can be ordered online. When they aren’t in a catalog, it’s hard to know what’s available so I created a two page flyer with all the NEW products that were released last week. You’ll find all the item numbers, an image of the products and prices. You can access the flyer here or click the image below.

Milky Dots Thank You Gift
If my Card Sampler doesn’t appeal to you, you can use the host code 2S2PJQRC to receive a package of Milky Dots with your $50 or more online order. Milky Dots have been discontinued and are no longer available but I purchased several packages when they went on the Low Inventory List and I have a few packages left.
Thank you for stopping by today!

I want to let you know that Stampin’ Up! officially announced that there will be a Color Refresh with the upcoming new Annual Catalog. To make room for new colors, we’ll have to say goodbye to some current colors. Stampin’ Up! isn’t releasing any specifics at this time as to which colors are retiring, what new colors are coming or what colors will be returning. We already know that two previous In Colors are coming back – Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon as they are listed on the package of Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper.
Stampin’ Up! will not be restocking any retiring colors and any products in retiring colors will be available while supplies last. If you have any favorite colors, be sure to purchase more cardstock, ink refills, Stampin’ Blends, markers or ribbons that match. I don’t want you to be disappointed that your favorite colors are gone. This also includes any Retiring In Colors: Fresh Freesia, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Pale Papaya, and Polished Pink. Some of these colors may returning but it’s anyone’s guess if they will be back.
It’s almost time for the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog! This year I’m implementing something new. I’m requesting that my customers fill out a form to have a new catalog sent to their home. I’m always happy to send complimentary copies of our catalogs to my customers but due to the rising cost of postage, I’m asking that you request one (it will still be complimentary). Normally I’d send a new catalog to anyone who has ordered from me in the past six months but I know that many of my customers shop with several different demonstrators and again due to the rising costs of mailing, I’d rather have you request a catalog so that you don’t have several catalogs from several different demonstrators.
