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.

by Tracy | Aug 12, 2023 | Happy Birthday Card
Thanks so much for your understanding as to why I haven’t been posting. I arrived home a few days ago after being at my mom’s house for four months but I plan to go back in a few weeks. My Mom lived in her home for 53 years! We contacted a realtor and will be selling our family home. My sister and I have been working hard each day to go through all of our mom’s things, which has been excruciating. She loved Christmas and decorated her house so that it was a magical place. Last week we went through her Christmas decorations and I will be bringing quite a lot of them home with me (so many memories!!). Since my dad passed away first, we didn’t have to take the house apart and I really didn’t understand how very hard it is to disassemble someone’s life. My heart goes out to everyone who’s already done this.
I still won’t be posting every day but today I do have two cards to share that I made a few weeks ago. They both use the same products but I used different Designer Series Paper for each one. Both cards were made with the Wanted to Say Dies, Scalloped Contours Dies and one of the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folders.
For this first card, the base of my card is Bubble Bath cardstock. Then I added a piece of Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper to the front of the card. I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then cut another piece of Basic White cardstock to fit on the scalloped rectangle but first I ran it through one of the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the scalloped rectangle and adhered it to the front of the card.
Next, I used the Wanted to Say Dies to cut the words, Happy Birthday. I used Bubble Bath for the background piece and Basic White for the actual words. I adhered the two pieces together and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back to adhere it to the card front.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
For this next card, I used Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper and Berry Burst cardstock.

Today’s card is a variation of a card I shared last week and you can see it here. I used the Darling Details stamp set, Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper, Scalloped Contours Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies and Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I embossed a piece of Lemon Lolly 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 Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the rectangle. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered the rectangle to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Darling Details stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and then cut a larger circle out of Pretty Peacock cardstock. I adhered the two pieces together, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the center of the card. Such a quick and easy card to make!

Today’s card was made using Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper, the Sweet Citrus stamp set, Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and the Stylish Shapes Dies. If you received my Darling Details Card Sampler, this is another version of the first card.
I started with a piece of Copper Clay cardstock for the base of my card. I cut a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock that measured 5″ x 4″ and embossed it using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. Then I cut it into three 1″ strips which gave me (3) 1″ strips and one 2″ strip. I then adhered all the strips to the front of the card.
I cut a piece of Copper Clay cardstock (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List) and layered it with a piece of Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I stamped the sentiment using Pretty Peacock ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Sweet Citrus stamp set. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and then cut a larger circle out of Pretty Peacock cardstock. I adhered the two pieces together, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the upper corner and adhered it to the front of the card.

I have three cards to share with you and they all were made with the same layout. Once I have a layout I like, I try to make several varieties for my thank you cards that I send to everyone who places an order with me. All three cards were created with the Layering Leaves stamp set.
This first card was made with Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper, the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder and the Stylish Shapes Dies.
I started with Night of Navy cardstock for the base of my card. I cut two pieces of Fresh Freesia cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then I cut a piece of Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the larger piece of Fresh Freesia (the left side panel). I cut a piece of Night of Navy cardstock that I embossed using the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder and then adhered it to the smaller piece of Fresh Freesia. I adhered both pieces to the base of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Night of Navy ink and then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a larger circle out of Fresh Freesia cardstock and adhered the sentiment to the front. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
This next card was made using Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. I also used the Something Fancy Dies, one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders, Berry Burst cardstock and Night of Navy ink. .
This next card was also made with the Something Fancy Dies, Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper, Boho Blue cardstock and Cajun Craze ink. With this card, I used Designer Series Paper for both panels.
