The card I’m sharing with you today was made using Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper, the Textured Notes Bundle, the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, White Woven 1/2″ Woven Ribbon and Drusy Adhesive Backed Embellishments.
I started with Darling Duckling cardstock (a new In Color) for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of the card.
I cut a piece of Darling Duckling cardstock and layered it with a piece of Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper. Next, I wrapped a piece of White 1/2″ Woven Ribbon around the layered piece and tied a knot. I trimmed off the ends and made sure to slide the ribbon over to the far left. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Garden Green ink and the stamp set, Textured Notes. I then cut it out using the Textured Notes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it over the ribbon.
To complete my card, I added two Drusy Adhesive-Backed Embellishments to each end of the sentiment and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

My card today showcases the Reindeer Fun Bundle (this bundle is on the Last Chance List and will be available while supplies last). The stamp set and dies are discounted but it comes to the same price as the bundle. I also used the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper (also on the Last Chance List and on sale), Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder, Stylish Shapes Dies and Drusy Adhesive-Backed Embellishments.
I started off with a piece of Real Red cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I used a die in the Reindeer Fun Bundle to cut the circle out of a piece of Basic White Cardstock. Next, I embossed the Basic White cardstock using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. If you reverse the directions, you’ll flatten out the embossing. Then, I adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock (the same size) and adhered the embossed cardstock to the other piece. Then, I glued the whole piece to the front of the card.
I cut the Mama deer and her baby out of Reindeer Days DSP using one of the deer dies in the Reindeer Fun Bundle. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered them to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Reindeer Fun stamp set in Garden Green ink. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added Stampin Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added three Drusy embellishments to the front of the card and adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
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. The Specialty Plate is used with 3D Embossing Folders.

Measurements
- Real Red cardstock: 11” x 4-1/4” scored at 5-1/2” OR 8-1/2” x 5-1/2” scored at 4-1/4” the only difference is how the card opens

- Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper: cut the deer out using the dies in the Reindeer Fun Bundle
I find it helpful to go up to the top of Last Chance Products Category and sort the products from A-Z. Then, they are in alphabetical order. My brain just works better when products are in alphabetical order.
- The Last Chance Products category will include retiring products from the September -December 2024 Mini Catalog and online releases, excluding Paper Pumpkin. When the Annual Catalog retires, you will find the retiring products in the Last Chance Products category of the online store (this won’t happen until the beginning of April).
- There will be a Last Chance Products category in the Online Store.
- Last Chance Products in this category are available while supplies last and will be discontinued when they sell out. Items will be automatically removed from the category and the online store when they are discontinued.
- Discounts vary and are subject to change.
- The Last Chance Products category will be updated every other month (more retiring products will be added). Updates to this category will happen in February, April, June, August, October, and December.
- Stampin’ Up! may add individual items from bundles or suite collections to the Last Chance Products category. If one or more products from the suite collection or bundle are in the Last Chance Products category, then the bundle and suite collection will also appear in this category. The bundle or suite will not be orderable if one or more of the items in the bundle or suite collection sell out. Our standard 10% bundle discounts will be available if one or more of the items move to the Last Chance Product category; however, the item in the Last Chance Products category may have a deeper discount.
- There may be times Stampin’ Up! will need to discontinue certain products outside of this process. This can happen due to factors outside our control, such as overseas shipping issues, disruptions to the supply chain for raw materials, or changes to our suppliers. If a product is discontinued outside the process, it won’t be available in our Last Chance Products category.
- There will no longer be a Clearance Rack, it will be now known as the Last Chance Products page.

Happy Weekend!
My card today was made with Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper, Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder, the Autumn Leaves stamp set, Autumn Leaves dies and Stylish Shapes dies.
I started with Cajun Craze cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the front of the card.
Next, I used my Stylish Shapes dies to make a variety of circles that I cut out of Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper. Then, I adhered all the circles down.
I cut a circle out Basic White cardstock and then stamped the sentiment in Cajun Craze ink using the Autumn Leaves stamp set. Then, I cut three leaves using the Autumn Leaves dies using Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze cardstock. I glued the two back ones down and then glued the Cajun Craze cardstock leaf. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the circle 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 Drusy Adhesive-Backed Embellishments below the sentiment.

Today I have another card using Stampin’ Up! Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. It’s really easy to make a card with this DSP because you don’t want to cover the artwork up!
