Important
Before I share my card with you today, I want my customers to see this! The Annual Catalogs are a big expense for me but I love to send complimentary copies to my current customers (I don’t want to presume if you want the catalog). If you are a current customer of mine, you can click the graphic below to get the form to fill out to request an Annual Catalog or you can click here! Edited to add: I’m sorry many of you had problems opening the form. I think it’s fixed now! I’m so sorry for the confusion!
To create today’s card, I used the Textured Notes Bundle, Pretty Petals stamp set, Pretty Petals Dies (the Pretty Petals products are a Last Chance product and both are on sale), Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder and 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems.
I started with a piece of Petunia Pop cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of the card.
I used Shy Shamrock cardstock to cut a rectangle using the Textured Notes Dies. Then, I cut a smaller rectangle out of Basic White cardstock. Then, I stamped the leaves onto the Basic White rectangle using Shy Shamrock ink and the Pretty Petals stamp set. Next, I stamped the flowers onto Basic White cardstock using Petunia Pop ink and the Pretty Petals stamp set. Then, I cut them out using the Pretty Petals Dies. I used Mini Glue Dots to adhere the flowers to the greenery.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock in Petunia Pop ink using the Textured Notes Stamp Set. Then, I cut the sentiment out using the Textured Notes Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added three Shy Shamrock Shimmer Gems to the white rectangle.

The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the Happy Hibiscus Bundle, Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper (FREE when you place a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration), and 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems.
I started with a piece of Petunia Pop cardstock for the base of my card (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then I embossed two pieces of Basic White cardstock using the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder and then adhered the smaller one to the top of the card and the larger one to the inside of the card.
I added Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper to the front of the Petunia Pop cardstock (that you saved from the card base). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the top of the Petunia Pop/DSP piece and adhered it to the front flap.
I cut another piece of Petunia Pop cardstock and adhered Basic White cardstock to the front and carefully added it to the inside so you can’t see it when the front flap is down (you can see a picture of this further down in the blog post).
I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock using the Happy Hibiscus stamp set in Blackberry Bliss ink. I cut it out using the “Happy Hibiscus Dies” (these dies come with the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front flap. Then, I added three 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems to the front.

The card I’m sharing with you today was made with the Happy Hibiscus Bundle (this bundle is an Online Exclusive). I also used 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper, Countryside Corners Dies, and 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I adhered a piece of 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper to the front of the card base (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List).
Next, I used the Countryside Corners Dies to cut a piece of Summer Splash cardstock and Basic White cardstock. When I cut out the Basic White I ran it through the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder and then adhered it to the Summer Splash cardstock. Then, I adhered it to the card base.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Happy Hibiscus stamp set in Summer Splash ink. I cut it out with the dies that come with the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder (it comes with 11 dies). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and adhered it to the front of the card.
Next, I added three Summer Splash Shimmer Gems to the embossed cardstock.

The card I’m sharing with you today was made using Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP), the Happiest Day stamp set and 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems. The Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper includes double sided patterned paper and lots of die cuts, like I used on today’s card. These die cuts make creating a card so easy!
I started with a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered a piece of Frames & Flowers Designer Series Paper to the Basic White cardstock. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.
Next, I adhered the Basic White cardstock/DSP piece to the front of the card.
I punched out the die cut wreath and stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink using the stamp set, Happiest Day. Then I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the wreath and adhered it to the front of the card. Next, I punched out the leaves and flowers and adhered them to the wreath.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added three Shimmer Gems in Peach Pie to the front.

by Tracy | Jul 18, 2024 | Happy Birthday Card
Today’s card was made using the Pocket Thoughts Bundle which includes the Pocket Thoughts stamp set and the Pocket Thoughts Dies. I also used Thoughtful Designs 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper.
I started with a base of Petunia Pop cardstock. I made the pocket using the Pocket Thoughts Dies and Thoughtful Designs Designer Series Paper. I added Tear & Tape to the pocket edges and then adhered it to a piece of Basic White cardstock. Next, I added the entire piece to the front of the card.
I stamped the cupcake in Memento Black ink and then colored the cupcake using Stampin’ Blends: Dark Lemon Lolly and both Light & Dark Petunia Pop. I cut the cupcake out using one of the circles in the Stylish Shapes Dies and then adhered it to the front of the pocket.
I stamped the sentiment in Petunia Pop ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Pocket Thoughts stamp set. I cut it out using a smaller circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it beside the cupcake.
I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below) and used a hole punch to punch a hole at the top. Then, I put a piece of Silver & White ribbon through the hole and tied the ribbon off using White Baker’s Twine. After doing that, I trimmed the ends of the ribbon and twine. I adhered the gift card to the Basic White cardstock using Mini Glue Dots.
To complete my card I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card and added three Shimmer Gems around the cupcake and sentiment in Petunia Pop.

Mystery Boxes
What’s a Mystery Box?
Please note: I will temporarily be stopping sending out Mystery Boxes on July 30th.
A Mystery Box is filled with retired products that I’d like to give to a new home. I’ve been a demonstrator for 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.

If your order is $150 or more, please DO NOT use the host code so you can receive Stampin’ Rewards (free product) directly from Stampin’ Up!. After you’ve placed your order (only if your order is $150 or more), please email me that you’d like a Mystery Box (click “Email Me” on the sidebar).
- If you don’t want to place an order, you can purchase a Mystery Box for $80 plus $18.00 postage (postal rates have gone up and I had to raise the price). Email me that you want a box and I’ll send you a PayPal invoice (click “Email Me” on the sidebar).
