The card I’m sharing with you today is a little sneak peek of two Sale-a-Bration products debuting on July 1st! They are
- Hippest Hippo Stamp Set #159921 – FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration
- Hippo Dies #159928 – FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration

I started with a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock to the front of the card that I embossed using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card. Next, I cut two pieces of Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper and adhered them to the front of the card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List).


I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a circle out of Basic White cardstock and another, larger circle out of Balmy Blue cardstock. I LOVE that Stampin’ Up! brought back stitched dies!! Love them!! I layered the two circles together and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the front of the card. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies again to cut the sentiment piece and then stamped the sentiment in Balmy Blue ink using the Hippest Hippos stamp set.

I stamped the cute hippo in Memento Ink onto Basic White cardstock and then colored her using Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends and for the flower I used the Dark Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend. I cut the hippo out using the Hippo Dies. I adhered one end of the sentiment behind the hippo and then adhered both to the stitched circle. This card came together very quickly and I just love the cute hippo (there are two more hippos in the stamp set and four sentiments).

Thank you so much for all the messages and prayers for my mom and I. I read every single message and I can’t tell you how much it meant to me. My mom came home from the hospital last week and is improving daily. I’ll be staying with her for several more weeks as she recuperates. We have many appointments this week to make sure everything is progressing as it should be. My face rash has finally calmed down. It was quite an ordeal. When the doctor said I’d just have to wait for it to pass through my system, I had no idea it would take so long! My face puffed up and was so itchy. Thank goodness I’m starting to look like myself again!
I’m slowly getting caught up so if you’ve placed an order in the last few weeks, you’ll be hearing from me in the next few days! Thank you for your patience!!!!

Hi Friends,
I wanted to check in and let you know why I haven’t been posting. I’m currently staying at my mom’s. She had surgery on Thursday and should have come home on Friday but there were some complications. It’s possible she’ll be coming home today or tomorrow, we hope!
Meanwhile, I used a product on my face and have had a very bad allergic reaction to it. I went to Urgent Care on Sunday hoping I could get an injection that would make it go away but the doctor said it has to work itself out of my system. My entire face is covered in an itchy rash and it’s making my skin very tight. It’s downright awful.
I haven’t sent thank you’s for recent orders but you will get your thank you email just as soon as I can.
I hope to back making cards and posting them here very soon.
Take Care,

The January – June Mini Catalog is retiring and I thought it would be fun to choose my top five products. I would have added New Horizons Designer Series Paper but unfortunately it has sold out. All retiring products are available while supplies last.
For more information about the cards below, click on the image and you’ll be taken to the original post.
Please note that some products shown on the cards are no longer available
#1 Happy & Heartfelt Stamp Set
I love this stamp set and it’s one I will keep in my personal stash. I love the sentiments and the font used.



I used Abstract Beauty 4″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper on the card below. It’s also retiring and 50% off. Normally $15.00, now $7.50.

#2 Flowing Flowers Stamp Set
Sometimes I buy stamp sets just for sentiments and I was drawn not only to the sentiments in this set but the images too.


#3 Polished Dots
What I love most about the Polished Dots is that I can I can color the clear ones with my Stampin’ Blends to match my card. Instant coordination! They also look really nice just left as is. I’m really sad these are retiring. They are now 30% off. Normally $7.50, now $5.25.

New Horizons Designer Series Paper was used on this card but it has sold out.



#4 Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper
I love flowers and I love Designer Series Paper. When those two come together . . . .
This paper is now 30% off. Normally $11.50, now $8.05





#5 Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder
I was a little late to the party with this product. I think it’s a really pretty embossing folder and I wish I had used it more. There’s a big heart in the center, which can be cut out with the coordinating heart die but it can also be covered up as I did in the second card below.
The Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder which includes 9 dies is now 50% off. Normally $29.00, now $14.50.

I also used Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper on this card and the stamp set, Happy & Heartfelt (both on my top 5 list).

Today I have four cards to share with you. After making the first card, I decided to try several different color combinations using Butterfly Kisses 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies.

For this first card, I used the Fern 3D Embossing Folder for the first layer. I layered the Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper with Parakeet Party cardstock (one of the new In Colors) and the squares were cut out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. The sentiment was stamped in Starry Sky ink using the stamp set, Cup of Tea and also cut out with the Stylish Shapes Dies. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the Parakeet Party square. To complete the card, I added three Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the front of the card and a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
Bundle Alert: The Cup of Tea Bundle (currently on the Low Inventory List) includes the stamp set, Cup of Tea, and the Teacup Dies.


For this next card, I used Fresh Freesia ink for the sentiment and added three 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots.

For the next two cards I used Fresh Freesia cardstock and Fresh Freesia ink for the sentiment. The first card was made using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder, just like the first two cards but for the second one I used the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder. Because of the size of the embossing folder, the entire piece of cardstock isn’t embossed but I felt it looked fine if the unembossed side was over to the left. For both cards, I added three 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds to the front.



You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Today’s card was made using the Bottled Happiness Bundle which includes the Bottled Happiness stamp set and the Vintage Bottle Punch. I also used my Stamparatus to line up the two images that make up the bouquet of flowers.



For the base of my card I used one of the Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes and as the name states, there’s a matching envelope for each card base. I layered a piece of Basic White cardstock and Starry Sky cardstock together and adhered them to the front of the card.
I cut another piece of Basic White cardstock and placed it in the Stamparatus. There are two stamps that make up the bouquet (see the diagram below). I used the stamp with the leaves first and placed it on the cardstock exactly where I wanted and then closed the Stamparatus cover so the stamp would stay in place. I used my Parakeet Party Stampin’ Write Marker to color the leaves on the stamp and the Starry Sky Stampin’ Write Marker to color the small flowers which are actually the centers of the larger flowers. Then I closed the cover to stamp the image onto my Basic White cardstock. I colored the images a second time so they’d be darker.



The beauty of the Stamparatus is that you can remove the plate and turn it around and use the other side (plus it comes with two plates) which I did. I didn’t remove the first stamp so I can make multiples of my card at a later time. When I stamped the other image, I used my Orchid Oasis stamp pad to color the images. It took me several tries (five or six, if I’m being honest) to get my stamps aligned exactly how I wanted them. It was worth it because I love the finished bouquet. Imagine all the possibilities with different colors!! Those two stamps aren’t coming off my plate for a while!


I adhered the bouquet stamped image to the front of the card and then stamped the bottle in Starry Sky ink and cut it out with the Vintage Bottle Punch. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it below the bouquet. I used the All That Dies to cut the sentiment banner and then stamped the sentiment in Orchid Oasis ink using the stamp set, Bottled Happiness.
I used several Mini Glue Dots to adhere the sentiment to the bottle. Then I used three strands of White Baker’s Twine (part of the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack) and made a bow. I added a Mini Glue Dot to the back and adhered it to the bottle.



Bundle Alert: The He’s All That Bundle includes the All That Dies and He’s All That stamp set. You’ll always save 10% when you purchase a bundle.

I cut a piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock and placed it inside the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then I layered it onto a piece of Basic White cardstock. Next, I wrapped a piece of Starry Sky Metallic Woven Ribbon around the cardstock layer and tied a bow over on the left-hand side. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it the front of a Tea Boutique Card Base.


I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a circle and the sentiment piece out of Basic White cardstock. Then on another piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the bird using Orchid Oasis ink and the stamp set, Sweet Songbirds, and punched it out using the Songbird Builder Punch. I stamped the wing also in Orchid Oasis ink and punched it out. I used Pumpkin Pie cardstock for the bird’s beak and used the punch for that too. I adhered the wing and beak to the bird but before adhering the birdie to the circle, I decided where I wanted to place her and then stamped her feet in Memento Ink. I also used Memento Ink for her eyes.


I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the circle and adhered it on top of the ribbon.
I stamped the sentiment in Orchid Oasis ink using the stamp set, Sweet Songbirds onto the sentiment piece. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it below the bird. To complete the card, I added a Matte Decorative Dot at each end of the sentiment.

The card I have to share with you today features the stamp set, Limited Edition and Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper (I can’t get enough of this paper).


I started with a base of Pool Party cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then I placed a piece of Basic White cardstock inside one of the Elegant 3D Embossing Folders and ran it through the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine. I then adhered it to a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock and placed it on the front of the card.


Next, I layered a piece of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper with a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card


I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Limited Edition in Fresh Freesia ink and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added adhesive just to the corner of the circle (the part that would be sitting on the Designer Series Paper layer) and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete the card, I added an In Color Opal Round below the sentiment and added a piece of Basic White cardstock inside the card.
