Before sharing my card with you today, I want to let you know about Last Chance Products! This will begin on Tuesday, December 3, 2024. This is a brand new process and I’m learning while I go!
- 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..
- The Last Chance Products will be available to all on December 3, 2024. You’ll be able to see what’s retiring!
While I have your attention, Demonstrators needed to finalize on Saturday, who we would be sending the new January-April 2025 Mini Catalog & Sale-a-Bration brochure to. If you ordered from me in the last six months, I ordered one for you and you should be receiving it between mid to late December. The new catalog goes live on January 7, 2024!
On to my card for today! I used the Decorative Trees Bundle, Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder, Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper (DSP), Spotlight on Nature Dies and our Festive Glimmer Paper.
I started with a piece of Real Red cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I cut two pieces of Basic White cardstock. I embossed one of them with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and adhered it to the front of the card. With the other one, I adhered it to the inside of the card.
Next, I cut the solid tree in the Decorative Tree Dies in Garden Green cardstock and for the decorative one, I used Festive Glimmer Paper. I glued the trees together using Multipurpose Glue (I only put glue on the open parts of the decorative tree). I then cut two circles out of Reindeer Days DSP (both of the circles are the same size) using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I adhered the circles to the front of the card but on the tree, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhered the tree between the deer.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Real Red ink and the Decorative Trees stamp set. Then, I cut it down to size with my Paper Trimmer, then I adhered it to the front of the card. This was a fun card to make!

Now on to my card for today! I used Take a Bow Designer Series Paper, A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper, Decorative Trees stamp set, Deckled Rectangles Dies and the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.
I started with a piece of Real Red cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I cut a piece of Take A Bow Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the front of the card. Next, I cut another piece of Real Red cardstock and a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. After I embossed the Basic White cardstock I adhered it to the front of the Real Red cardstock. I then used Multipurpose Glue to attach the stockings (the stockings are included in the A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper as a cut out) to the embossed Basic White cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I embossed the sentiment using a Versamark pad, silver embossing powder and the Decorative Trees stamp set. Then, I cut it out using the Deckled Rectangles 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.

The card I’m sharing with you today was made using Stampin’ Up! A Little Bit Festive Designer Series Paper, Christmas Friends stamp set, Stylish Shapes Dies, Festive 12″ x 12″ Glimmer Paper and the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.
I started with a piece of Garden Green cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder and my Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of the card.
Did you know Stampin’ Up! A Little Bit Festive Designer Series Paper comes with cut outs? My wreath is a cut out! After I punched the wreath out, I adhered it to the front of the card. I used our Festive Glimmer Paper to cut a banner using the Stylish Shapes Dies.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Garden Green ink and the stamp set, Christmas Friends. Then, I cut it out using the smaller banner in the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the Glimmer Paper and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Glimmer Paper and adhered it to the wreath.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

Today, I’m sharing two cards I made using Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the Changing Leaves Bundle. This bundle has not been available for some time but it’s estimated to be back in stock the week of September 23rd! For the first card I used the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and for the second card I used the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.
I started with a base of Fresh Freesia cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I embossed Basic White cardstock using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and then adhered it to the base.
Then, I cut another piece of Fresh Freesia and scored it at the halfway mark. Next, I cut my Spendid Autumn DSP and adhered it to the front of the smaller piece. I also cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and added a piece of the same Splendid Autumn DSP design I used for the front of the card. Sometimes I like to make this piece a little bit longer and then I can trim it off. I adhered it to the inside of the card. Edited to Add: I forgot the most important step! I adhered the smaller piece to the front of the card using Tear & Tape or some other strong glue.
I stamped the sentiment in Fresh Freesia ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Changing Leaves. I cut the sentiment out using the Changing Leaves Dies (these dies come with the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and added it to the front of the card.
For this final card, I used the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder (a new product in the Mini Catalog).

Mystery Boxes
I’m offering Mystery Boxes again but these are primarily filled with retired stamp sets. I’ve been a demonstrator for 15 years and I’d like to give my retired stamp sets to a new home. I have filled Medium Rate Flat USPS shipping boxes stuffed with stamp sets and I’ve thrown in a few more goodies! I have included three bundles in each box with a stamp set and dies.
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 and there is some staining on the wood but that doesn’t affect the quality of the stamps.
There are two ways to get a Mystery Box:
- Place a minimum $125 order (before shipping/tax) at my Stampin’ Up! online store using the host code ZY3UX3NY and 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 you 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 $100 plus $16 postage. Email me that you’d like a Mystery Box and I’ll send you a PayPal invoice (click “Email Me” on the sidebar).
More Information
- You must use the host code ZY3UX3NY when placing your minimum $125 order (if your order is $150 or more, do not used the host code- see above).
- My Mystery Boxes have a value of at least $275, if not more.
- Three Die Bundles will be included in each box (stamp set and a set of dies).
- One box per order.
- Using the host code will let me know you’d like a Mystery Box.
- You’ll receive at least two Bradley Points with your order.
- I have added extra products in the box though they are primarily stamp sets. The extra products can include Designer Series Paper, a punch, an embellishment or ribbon.
- 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.
- No refunds or exchanges.
- Feel free to email me before placing an order to see if I have boxes available.
