I was really disappointed when I saw the Scalloped Contours Dies were retiring. This has been a much loved staple in my craft room. They are normally $35.00 but until April 30th, they are 30% off with a price tag of $24.50. I thought I’d share some cards, which you can see below, using the Scalloped Contours Dies. If you want more information about the card, simply click the image of the card and you’ll be taken to that blog post. I’ve created many more cards with these dies but I’m only showing ones with current and retiring product.
For this card, I also used the Sweet Citrus stamp set (20% off) and the Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder and Dies (50% off) which are both retiring and both on sale.
This card was created with the Stripes & Splatters embossing Folders (they have sadly already sold out) and Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper which is retiring and 20% off.
This card was created also using the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders (sold out) and Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper which is not retiring.
This card was made using the Darling Details stamp set which is retiring and Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper which is retiring and 50% off!
This card was already created with the Darling Details stamp set which is retiring and Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper which is retiring and 20% off.

What’s a Mystery Box?
I offered Mystery Boxes last year but I still have SO MUCH retired Stampin’ Up! product in my home and I’d like to give it all 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 Designer Series Paper, 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.
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 HS2RTGAS. 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!. 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 $15.00 postage. Email me that you want a box and I’ll send you a PayPal invoice (click “Email Me” on the sidebar).
More Information
- You must use the host code HS2RTGAS when placing your order (if your order is over $150, do not use the host code – see above)
- $125 order must be before tax/shipping amount
- One box per order
- Using the host code will let me know you want a Mystery Box
- You’ll receive at least TWO Bradley Points with your order
- No refunds or exchanges.
- All boxes have two Designer Series Paper packages, at least three die bundles, an additional four stamp sets and other goodies added in.
- Each box will be different and a mystery! The boxes are already sealed up and I’m unable to take requests for the contents of the boxes.
- Once all the boxes are gone, I’ll update this page.
- Feel free to email me before placing an order to see if I have boxes available.
- Only available while supplies last.

Today’s cards were made with a two different Designer Series Papers and cardstock but all were made using the same design. All of the cards were also made using the Timeless Arrangements Dies and the Layering Leaves stamp set.
This first card was made with Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper, the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder, and Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy cardstock. The sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy ink and cut out using the Timeless Arrangements Die. The sentiment was popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For this next card, instead of embossing the vertical panel, I used another coordinating piece of Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper.
This next card was made using Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper, the Timber 3D Embossing Folder, Night of Navy and Balmy Blue cardstock.
For this next card, I swapped out the vertical Designer Series Paper panel for an embossed look, again, using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I used Boho Blue and Night of Navy cardstock and Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper.
For this last card, I used the Fern 3D Embossing Folder, Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper, and Balmy Blue and Night of Navy cardstock.

Today’s card were created using Stampin’ Up! Nested Essentials Dies, Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper, one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders, Stylish Shapes Dies and the stamp set, Sweet Citrus.
I started with a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock for the base of my card. Then I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders (these folders are an Online Exclusive and are not in a catalog) and adhered it to the front of the card. I then cut a piece of Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) and cut another piece using the Nested Essentials Dies. I adhered both to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a larger circle out of Fresh Freesia cardstock and adhered the sentiment to it. I 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.
This second card was made using all the same products but I used Petal Pink for the base of my card and the Stylish Shapes circle. The sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy ink. Instead of using a second piece of Designer Series Paper, I embossed the vertical strip and I didn’t emboss the Basic White cardstock.

Today’s card was created using the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder which will be available on September 6th in the new Mini Catalog. If you have a catalog, you can find it on page 43. I also used our White 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon (which is an Online Exclusive which means it won’t be found in a catalog), Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper, the Darling Details stamp set and All That Dies.
I started with a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock for the base of my card. Then I ran a piece of Basic White cardstock through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (available September 6th) and adhered it to the front of the card.
Next, I layered a piece of Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper to a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock. I used Bubble Bath because there are Bubble Bath hearts scattered around on this paper. Then I wrapped a piece of Glittered Organdy Ribbon around the layer and tied a knot. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered the layer to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Darling Details stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink and then cut it out using the All That Dies. I 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 of the card.

I have one more card for you using the layout I used yesterday but I used Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper for today’s card. You can see the other versions here and here.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I embossed a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the front of the card. I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a rectangle out of a piece of Basic White cardstock and then cut a piece of Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the rectangle (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Darling Details stamp set. I then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a larger circle out of Fresh Freesia cardstock and adhered the sentiment to it. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the center of the card.
