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.

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.
Measurements
- Thick Basic White cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ score at 4-1/4″
- Designer Series Paper: approx. 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″
- Basic White cardstock: approx. 5″ x 3-1/2″
- Baker’s Twine: (2) 8″ pieces
Request a Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog

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. Thanks so much for your understanding!!
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.
If you aren’t a customer of mine but would like a catalog, just email me (click the button on the sidebar) and I can send you a PayPal invoice.
Online Exclusives

The Online Exclusives 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. 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. For more information about each product, click on the images on the flyer.

Host Code
Use the host code YSARVYSA to receive a package of 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots with your $50 or more online order. This offer ends on April 7th. Once the promotion is over, I’ll order the Decorative Dots and when I receive them, I’ll mail them out (although I do have some on hand right now).

Today’s card features the Petal Park Bundle which includes the Petal Park stamp set and Petal Park Builder Punch. I also used the Scalloped Contours Dies and 2022-2024 In Color Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is a sneak peek of the Irresistible Blooms stamp set that will be available on March 1st.


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 cut two pieces of In Color 2022-2024 Designer Series Paper in Sweet Sorbet and adhered one piece to the front of the card and the other on the inside.


I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then stamped the leaves onto the rectangle using my Parakeet Party ink pad. This is a two step stamp set which means one stamp has details and the other fills in with more color. I had to play around with these stamps for awhile to get the hang of them but I’m so happy with the results! I used the Irresistible Blooms stamp set and Memento Ink to stamp the sentiment in the lower left hand corner. On the back of the scalloped rectangle, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right side only (two vertical lines) and then adhered it to the front panel.


Next, I stamped the flowers onto a piece of Basic White cardstock. I did the flowers a little bit differently than the leaves. I stamped the outline of the flowers in full strength using Sweet Sorbet ink. Then I inked up the other stamp but stamped off on a piece of scrap paper and then stamped. Otherwise, it would have been way too dark. Then, I cut the flowers out using the Petal Park Builder Punch. I added a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional to the back of the smallest flower and added our regular sized ones to the other two and placed them amongst the leaves.

I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card and then added three Iridescent Pearls to the the center of the flowers.

I also used Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set #161140 (because this product is not available for purchase until March 1st, I can’t show it in the table below.

Today’s card was created using the Nature’s Prints Bundle which includes the stamp set, Nature’s Prints and the Natural Prints Dies. I also used In Color 2022-2024 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I was inspired to create my card from one I saw on Jackie’s blog, a fellow demonstrator. You can see her beautiful cards here.


I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I adhered pieces of Designer Series Paper around the edges of the card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Next, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered it to the center of the card.


On another piece of Basic White cardstock I stamped the leaves using Tahitian Tide ink and the stamp set, Nature’s Prints. I cut it out using the Natural Prints Dies and adhered it to the embossed cardstock.


Next, I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Tahitian Tide ink and the stamp set, Nature’s Prints. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete the card, I added three Basic Rhinestones to the front.

I have one more card using the Scottie Dog Punch and it’s a thank you card. If you missed my last two cards using this punch you can see the Autumn card HERE and the Christmas card HERE. I also used the Fond of Autumn Bundle which includes the Fond of Autumn stamp set and the Autumn Bouquet Dies.


I started with a piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. Then I added a layer of Orchid Oasis cardstock with a piece of 2022-2024 In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, also in Orchid Oasis. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of this layer and adhered it to my card front.


I used Basic Black cardstock and the Scottie Dog Punch to cut out the dog and used a piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock to cut the bow. I used a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional to attach the bow to the dog and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered the dog to the front of the card.
The Scottie Dog Punch is also available in the Christmas Scottie Bundle which also includes the Christmas Scottie stamp set.

I used the Fond of Autumn stamp set to stamp the sentiment in Orchid Oasis ink onto Basic White cardstock. I used the Autumn Bouquet Dies to cut it out, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it below the dog. The Fond of Autumn Bundle includes both the Fond of Autumn stamp set and the Autumn Bouquet Dies.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
