Today’s card was created using the Elephant Parade Bundle which includes the Elephant Parade stamp set and the Elephant Dies. I also used the stamp set, By My Side, Country Gingham Designer Series Paper and one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I layered a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock with a piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered the layer to the base of the card. I cut a piece of Country Gingham Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the front of the card.
I cut a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock and placed it in inside one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and ran it through the Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered this piece to the front of the card.
Next, I layered a piece of Gray Granite cardstock with a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the same embossing folder that I used for the Mint Macaron. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock and then colored the elephant using these Stampin’ Blends:
- Gray Granite (Light and Dark)
- Petal Pink (Light)
I cut the elephant out using the Elephant Dies and then set it aside. I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, By My Side, and Mint Macaron ink and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. The die I used was longer than I would need so when I cut it out, I made sure the sentiment was over to the right. I glued the sentiment to the elephant and then added adhesive to the back of the elephant and sentiment (except for the part that hangs over the Gray Granite layer) and adhered the elephant to the front of the card.
To complete my card I added five 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds to the front of the card. These gems are in Soft Succulent but I think they match really well with the Mint Macaron Designer Series Paper.

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.
Online Exclusives
Last week many new products went live. These 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 last week. 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.

Today’s card was created using the Blessings of Home Bundle which includes the Blessings of Home stamp set and the Flowers of Home Dies. I also used the stamp set, By My Side for the sentiment.
I started with a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a layer of Basic White cardstock and a piece of In Color 2022-2023 In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper in Fresh Freesia. I embossed a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock using the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder and adhered it to a piece of Basic White cardstock and then placed it on the front of the card.
I used the Blessings of Home stamp set to stamp the flowers onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink. I colored it using Stampin’ Blends: Fresh Freesia, Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight. I cut it out using the Flowers of Home Dies and then adhered it to a layer of Balmy Blue and Basic White cardstock which I then adhered to the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a pice of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, By My Side, and Memento ink and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it below the flowers.

The card I’m sharing today is a quick and easy one using Tea Boutique 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies, Bouquet of Love Embossing Folder and the stamp set, By My Side.
I started with a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock for the base of my card (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). This is one of five new In Colors Stampin’ Up! released with the new catalog! Next, I placed a piece of Basic White cardstock inside the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. There’s an embossed heart in the center of the paper but I’ve covered it up (this embossing folder also comes with 9 dies).
To cover the heart up, I cut a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock and layered it with a piece of Tea Boutique 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the layered piece and adhered it to the center of the card. Then, I stamped the sentiment in Sweet Sorbet ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, By My Side. This stamp set has some cute images and a lot of great sentiments.
I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I only added adhesive to the part of the sentiment that sits on the layered piece and placed it on the card. I used three of our new 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots below the sentiment. To complete the card, I adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
