Happy Friday! Today’s card was created using the Hearts & Hugs Bundle.  This bundle wasn’t one of my first purchases and I didn’t think I wanted it until I saw so many cute cards made with it! I also used 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper, the Stylish Shapes Dies, the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Blends

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I added a layer of Petunia Pop cardstock and Basic White cardstock to the front of my card. 

Next, I added a piece of 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper to the front. I added a piece of Petunia Pop cardstock that I embossed using the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder and then adhered it to the front of the card. 

 

 

I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut two squares out of Basic White cardstock and then adhered the smaller square to the larger one.  I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the larger square and placed it on the front of the card. 

 

 

 

I stamped the mouse from the Hearts & Hugs stamp set onto Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink. I colored the cute mouse (I don’t think mice are cute in person but this one is) using Petal Pink, Gray Granite and Petunia Pop Stampin’ Blends. I then cut the mouse out using the Hearts & Hugs Dies. 

I stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Hearts & Hugs stamp set and then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut the end off of the sentiment, otherwise it would stick out on the other side of the mouse. I adhered the sentiment to the mouse using Mini Glue Dots and then added more Mini Glue Dots to the mouse and adhered it to the smaller square. 

 

 

 

To complete my card, I cut three hearts out of Petunia Pop cardstock using the Hearts & Hugs Dies, added Mini Glue Dots to the back of each one and adhered them to the front of the card. I’m so glad I purchased this bundle because I really enjoyed making this card! You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Mystery Boxes 

 

What’s a Mystery Box? 

A Mystery Box is filled with retired products that I’d like to give to a new home. I’ve been a demonstrator for almost 15 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 stamps, dies, ribbon, embellishments and more! The boxes are already sealed and every box will be different and a mystery as to what’s inside! The value of each box is well over $200. 

All of the products in the Mystery Boxes have retired but some have never been used, some are used and all are “as is”. Some of the stamp sets are wood mount. 

You can place an order HERE.

  • Place a $125 or more order (before shipping/tax) at my Stampin’ Up! online store using the host code KQB3BP3Q and I will send a Mystery Box to you as a free gift and I’ll even pay the postage!
