I’ve loved using the Perennial Postage stamp set and unfortunately it’s retiring (but the Perennial Postage Dies are not but they are currently on the Low Inventory List). It’s a great stamp set with a variety of sentiments! Today I’m sharing a card that was in my recent Flowering Zinnias Card Sampler and uses the Perennial Postage stamp set. This is the only retiring product on my card today. The Perennial Postage Bundle is still available (as of this writing). When you purchase a bundle, you save 10%).
I started with a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock for the base of my card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then, I embossed two pieces of Basic White cardstock using one of the Fun Patterns Embossing Folders (these embossing folders are an Online Exclusive and won’t be found in any catalog) and then adhered them to the front of the card.
I cut another piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock and layered it with a piece of Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (another Online Exclusive product). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped my sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set Perennial Postage (retiring). I then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a larger circle, using the same dies, out of Blackberry Bliss cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the larger Blackberry Bliss circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.

Mystery Boxes Are Still Available
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.

The card I’m sharing today was made using Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia stamp set, Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (on the Low Inventory List) and the Everyday Details Dies.

I layered another piece of Flowering Zinnias DSP with another piece of Highland Heather cardstock and then adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set Simply Zinnia and Highland Heather ink.

I layered the two pieces together, added Stampin’ Dimensional to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.

The card I’m sharing with you today is another take on the card I posted last Friday using Stampin’ Up! Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper, the Blueberry Bunches stamp set, Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder, Nested Essentials Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I layered a piece of Berry Burst cardstock and Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (DSP) and then adhered it to the front of my card. You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.
Next, I added another layer of Berry Burst cardstock and Flowering Zinnias DSP and adhered that to the front of the card. I used the Nested Essentials Dies to cut a banner out of Berry Burst cardstock and Basic White cardstock.
The Basic White cardstock banner was placed in the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder and run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then I adhered it to the Berry Burst banner and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock in Berry Burst ink using the stamp set, Blueberry Bunches. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and then cut the next larger circle out of Berry Burst cardstock. I layered the sentiment onto the Berry Burst circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals only to the back on the right side and then adhered it to the banner. I added three Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels under the sentiment.

Today I’m sharing a card that I made using Stampin’ Up! Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (an online exclusive product), the Blueberry Bunches stamp set, Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder (another online exclusive product), Nested Essentials Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I added a layer of Highland Heather cardstock and Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (DSP) to the front of the card. Next, I added another layer of Highland Heather cardstock and a different design of Flowering Zinnias DSP.
I used the Nested Essentials Dies to cut a banner out of Highland Heather cardstock and a smaller one out of Basic White cardstock. I embossed the Basic White banner using the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I layered the two banners together and then adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock in Highland Heather ink using the stamp set, Blueberry Bunches. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and then cut another larger circle out of Highland Heather cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the front of the Highland Heather circle and then on the back I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right side only and adhered it to the banner.
To complete my card, I added three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the front of the card.

I have another card for you today using Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (I love this paper) and the Simply Zinnia stamp set (this was not going to be available until the week of March 11th but it’s in stock now). I also used the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder, and the Everyday Details Dies. You can see other versions of this card here.
I started with a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock for the base of my card. Then I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. After adhering the embossed cardstock to the front of my card, I layered a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock with a piece of Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of my card.
I stamped the sentiment in Flirty Flamingo ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Simply Zinnia. I then cut it out using the Everyday Details Dies. I cut a larger rectangle, using the same dies, out of Flirty Flamingo cardstock and adhered the sentiment to the front. I added three rows of Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back (not on the part that hangs off the cardstock) and adhered it the card front.
To complete my card I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
Bundle Alert: The Everyday Details Bundle is available with a savings of 10%. The bundle includes the Everyday Details Dies and Everyday Details stamp set.
