My card was created using the Citrus Blooms Bundle, Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper, Spotlight on Nature Dies, the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder and Opal Rounds Assortment.


I started with a piece of Night of Navy cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the card base.


I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock (the measurements I used are below the Supply List) and embossed it using the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I layered it onto a piece of Night of Navy cardstock and then adhered it to the front of the card.


I cut the peach out using a sheet of Mediterranean Blooms (see below) and one of the Citrus Blooms Dies. Then, I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the peach and adhered it to the embossed cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Night of Navy ink and then I cut it out using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three Opal Rounds to the embossed part of the card.




Most of the products I used on my card today, with the exception of the Spotlight on Nature Dies, can be purchased in the Mediterranean Blooms Suite Collection below. In this Suite Collection, you do receive the 10% off the Citrus Blooms Bundle. Click the image below for more information.

by Tracy | Jun 26, 2024 | Friend Card
Before I share my card with you today, I want to reach out to a customer who placed an order with me on June 20th. The customer used my host code to get a Mystery Box but they checked the box that says “No Contact”. I called Stampin’ Up! and they can’t share the name with me because the no contact box was checked. If this was you, can you please contact me (click the sidebar to email me) with the total of your order and I’ll get your Mystery Box sent out to you.
On to my card for today! I made my card using Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper, Friends for Life Dies, Dashing Designs Embossing Folder and Transparent Adhesive-Backed Dots.


I started with Daffodil Delight cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed two pieces of Basic White cardstock with the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder and then adhered them to the card front.


I adhered a piece of Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper (DSP) to a piece of Garden Green cardstock and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.


I used the Friends for Life Dies to cut out the background for friend in Garden Green cardstock. I cut the word friend out of Basic White cardstock but I added an Adhesive Sheet to the back (it makes it so much easier to adhere it to the background “friend”). With these dies you have to be careful that you don’t lose the very small piece that dots the “i”. I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Garden Green cardstock (I had to cut several in half ) and adhered friend to the DSP.


To complete my card, I added three Transparent Adhesive-Backed Dots to the front.

Today I’m sharing a card that was included in my Happiest Day Card Sampler. It was made with the Happiest Day stamp set, Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper, the Sketched Butterflies Dies, Everyday Details Dies and the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder.



You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List. I cut and scored my Summer Splash cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed my Basic White cardstock using the Dashing Designs Embossing Folder and adhered it to the front of the card.


Next, I adhered the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper (DSP) to the Basic White cardstock that goes inside the card. I suggest adhering the Basic White cardstock first and then seeing where you want the DSP to go.
Next, I cut a piece of Summer Splash cardstock and then used the Everyday Details Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then adhered them together. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.



I used the Sketched Butterflies Dies to cut a large butterfly and a small one out of Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper. I adhered them using Mini Glue Dots that I rolled up into a ball and then added rhinestones to each butterfly.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Happiest Day stamp set in Petunia Pop ink and then cut it out using the Everyday Details Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
Edited to Add
Bundle Alert: The Sketched Butterflies Bundle is available and includes the Sketched Butterflies stamp set and Sketched Butterflies Dies.You save 10% when you purchase a bundle rather than purchasing the items separately and during the month of June 2024 you’ll receive an extra 10%.

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.

Today I’m sharing a card that I made using the Sketched Butterflies Bundle. I also used the Spotlight on Nature Dies, Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (unfortunately this paper is unavailable right now but should be back in stock sometime next week – the week of May 27th) and the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder.


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 Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder and then adhered it to the front of my card.


Next, I cut a circle out of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper using the Spotlight on Nature Dies and then used the same paper to cut three butterflies using the Sketched Butterflies Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the circle and adhered it to the front of the card. I added Mini Glue Dots to the backs of the butterflies and adhered them to the circle.


I stamped the sentiment in Petunia Pop ink using the Sketched Butterflies stamp set. I then cut it out using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I added a Mini Glue Dot to the part that would be sitting on the DSP circle and Stampin’ Dimensionals to the bottom and adhered it to the card.


To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card and added a rhinestone to each of the butterflies.

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.

There are two ways to get a Mystery Box
- Place a $125 or more order (before shipping/tax) at my Stampin’ Up! online store using the host code VCQST97K. I will send a Mystery Box to you as a free gift and I’ll even pay the postage! Using the host code will alert me that you want a Mystery Box. 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!.
