Happy Friday! Today I have a card to share with you but I was unable to find the time to create a tutorial. It’s been one of those weeks but I’ll be back next week with another one. Before sharing my card, I want to share some happy news.
The last day of the Stampin’ Up! year was yesterday and each year Stampin’ Up! offers an incentive trip for demonstrators to work towards. This was a goal I never thought I could attain but in June I earned my first incentive trip!!! Thank you so very much to each and every one of you who chose me as your demonstrator when you placed your Stampin’ Up! orders this past year. I could not have done it without you and I can’t thank you enough for helping me to achieve this goal! The trip is to the Western Caribbean on the largest cruise ship in the world in May 2022. Now that the new Stampin’ Up! year has begun, I’ll be working towards a Baltic Sea Cruise that will take place in 2023. Again, thank you so much to everyone who helped me to earn the incentive trip!!!!
It’s now time for today’s card!
To create today’s card I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock. Then I added two pieces of Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper. I then added another piece of Sweet Symmetry and layered it on a piece of Basic White cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensiionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
Using the Scalloped Contours Dies, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink using the stamp set, In Symmetry. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it the front. This is a very quick and easy card to make!
Here’s another version using two more designs from Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper and Just Jade ink. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.
Bundle Alert (bundles always save you 10%): The In Symmetry Bundle (#155599) includes the In Symmetry stamp set and the Symmetrical Stems Border Punch.

I purchased the Starter Kit twelve years ago just for the discount. I had absolutely no intention of doing anything else except buy discounted products for myself. I still love Stampin’ Up! products and have used my discount to the fullest! I think the biggest impact for me has been that I now feel like I’m a creative person. I never felt like that before. Stampin’ Up! products make it so easy to create pretty cards and projects. I’ve never regretted my decision to purchase the Starter Kit and join Stampin’ Up!

I created today’s card as part of a challenge and I used the stamp set, Words of Cheer, Gingerbread & Peppermint 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders (these embossing folders are currently unavailable but are expected to be back in stock later this week).
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Real Red cardstock and a layer of Gingerbread & Peppermint Designer Series Paper. The coordinating colors for this Designer Series Paper are: Real Red, Old Olive, Early Espresso and Cinnamon Cider.
I cut a piece of Old Olive cardstock, notched one end and then before adhering it the card base, I placed it in one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut a Basic White circle and a scalloped Real Red circle. I embossed the Basic White circle using the same Wintry 3D Embossing Folder and then adhered it on top of the scalloped circle. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and added it to the front of the card.
Using the Snow Time Dies, I cut the sentiment piece out of Basic White cardstock and then stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it on top of the circles.
Bundle Alert: The Words of Cheer Bundle (156389) includes the Words of Cheer Stamp Set and the Christmas Cheer Dies. Bundles always save you 10%.

by Tracy | Sep 22, 2021 | Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders, Sympathy Card
Unfortunately I needed a sympathy card this week and I used the stamp set, Positive Thoughts along with the coordinating Nature’s Thoughts Dies to create today’s card.
I started with a base of Mint Macaron cardstock and then added a layer of Rich Razzleberry cardstock that I embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I used the Nature’s Thoughts Dies and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to cut the Basic White rectangle
I stamped a leafy frond directly onto the Basic White rectangle in Mint Macaron ink using the stamp set Positive Thoughts. Then I stamped two more onto Basic White cardstock, also using Mint Macaron ink and cut them out using the Nature’s Thoughts Dies. I also stamped the flower in Rich Razzleberry ink and cut it out using these same dies.
I adhered the fronds and the flower to the Basic White rectangle using Multipurpose Glue. I stamped the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink using the stamp set Inspired Thoughts and then cut it out using the Double Oval punch. Using this same punch, I also cut a Mint Macaron scalloped oval. I layered the two piece together and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adhering it to the front of the card.
To complete the card, I adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and then added five Genial Gems to the front.
Supply List

by Tracy | Sep 21, 2021 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders, Rectangle Stitched Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
Today’s card features Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Dies, Encircled in Warmth stamp set, Wintry 3D Embossing Folders and Tidings of Christmas 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. If the Poinsettia Dies look familiar, it’s because they debuted in the 2020 Mini Catalog and can now be found in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. The beauty of many of the dies in this set is that they cut and emboss at the same time! To see what I mean, take a look at the embossing on the poinsettia!
I started with a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock and then added a layer of Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper. Next, I adhered a piece of Soft Succulent cardstock that I ran through one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders. These embossing folders are currently on backorder and as of today, they can still be added to your order and will ship when they are back in stock (estimated to be back in stock next week). The rest of your order will ship without the embossing folders.
I used the Poinsettia Dies to cut two Silver Foil sprigs. Before running one of the sprigs though the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine, I added the little piece for the center of the flower onto the paper. I also cut two poinsettia flowers out of Basic White cardstock. I adhered a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional between the two flower pieces and then added a regular Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the larger flower. I used our Mini Glue Dots to adhere the foil sprigs to the back of the poinsettia and then adhered the flower to the front of the card.
When using the poinsettia and leaves dies, you’ll use two dies. One of the dies cuts the flower shape and the other embosses the paper. I used a Sharpie to mark the dies so I would know exactly how the inside piece fits (it’s a big time saver).
I used the Stitched Rectangles Dies to cut a rectangle out of Basic White cardstock and then stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen ink. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete the card, I adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

- Soft Succulent cardstock (embossed piece): 4-3/4″ x 2″

by Tracy | Sep 16, 2021 | Card Sampler, Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders, Rectangle Stitched Dies, Scalloped Contours Dies
Today’s card features Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper (free during Sale-a-Bration with a $50 order), the stamp set, Heartfelt Wishes and the Scalloped Contours Dies.
I started with a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder. Then I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut two scalloped rectangles using Basic White cardstock and Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper. I layered those two pieces together and then wrapped a piece of Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon around them and tied a knot. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it in the center of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Heartfelt Wishes. This is a new stamp set in the Mini Catalog. It has a lot of Christmas greetings but also includes a few sentiments for other occasions as well. I cut the sentiment out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
Bundle Alert: The Scalloped Contours Dies can be purchased individually but can also be purchased in the Color & Contour Bundle that also includes the Color & Contour Stamp Set. Bundles always save you 10%.

My card today is a quick and easy one to make using the Picture This Dies. There are two dies included in this set, one that cuts out stitched circles and the other one cuts out stitched rectangles (see the image of the dies below my card). Today’s card was made using the die that cuts out rectangular stitched shapes. You can see previous cards I’ve made using the other die here and here. I also used Tidings of Christmas 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.
I started with a piece of Soft Succulent cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I reach for this embossing folder over and over again because it has such a nice subtle effect.
There are two different ways to cut out the shapes using the dies. You can cut them out using a piece of paper that measures approximately 4-3/4″ x 3-3/4″. This will give you three pieces and you can save some of the extras for another project. I decided not to do that and for the sentiment, I placed a small piece of Basic White cardstock in the center of the die and then did that same thing with the Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper.
I stamped the sentiment using Evening Evergreen ink and the stamp set, Pansy Patch onto the Basic White rectangle. Then, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of each rectangle and placed them on the front of the card. If you’ve never used Stampin’ Dimensionals, they make a huge difference. Just that little bit of dimension takes your card to a whole new level! To complete my card, I added three Matte Decorative Dots below the sentiment and added a layer of Basic White to the inside. Imagine all the possibilities with this design!
