by Tracy | Aug 2, 2024 | Birthday Card
Today I’m sharing a card using Stampin’ Up! Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper, the Happiest Day stamp set and the Everyday Details Dies. I used this same layout several days ago when I used Country Woods Designer Series Paper. If you’d like to see that card, please click here.
The Frames & Flowers Specialty Paper has three sheets of double-sided designs with floral and greenery designs on one side and all-purpose patterns on the other. It also has three sheets of die-cut greenery elements that you can use on card fronts or to frame photos on scrapbook pages.
I started with a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut the Frames & Flowers Designer Series Paper and adhered them to the front of the card base. You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.
I stamped my sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Pretty Peacock ink and the stamp set, Happiest Day. I then cut it out using the Everyday Details Dies. I took one of the die cuts that comes with the paper and adhered it to the back of the sentiment using Mini Glue Dots. Then, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered the sentiment to the card front.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

Mystery Boxes
What’s a Mystery Box?
Please note: I will temporarily stop sending out Mystery Boxes on July 30th. I just noticed that I had inadvertently said June 30th is when I would stop sending out Mystery Boxes and it should have been July 30th and I will extend it until the end of today, July 31st. I’ve corrected all the posts that say the wrong date. Is everyone feeling that this year is just screaming by??? I can’t keep track of the months!
A Mystery Box is filled with retired products that I’d like to give to a new home. I’ve been a demonstrator for 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 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.
You can place an order HERE.
There are two ways to get a Mystery Box

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).

by Tracy | Jun 17, 2024 | Thinking of You Card
Today I’m sharing a card that was included in my Happiest Day Card Sampler. It was made with the Happiest Day stamp set, Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper, the Sketched Butterflies Dies, Everyday Details Dies and the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder.
You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List. I cut and scored my Summer Splash cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed my Basic White cardstock using the Dashing Designs Embossing Folder and adhered it to the front of the card.
Next, I adhered the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper (DSP) to the Basic White cardstock that goes inside the card. I suggest adhering the Basic White cardstock first and then seeing where you want the DSP to go.
Next, I cut a piece of Summer Splash cardstock and then used the Everyday Details Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then adhered them together. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used the Sketched Butterflies Dies to cut a large butterfly and a small one out of Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper. I adhered them using Mini Glue Dots that I rolled up into a ball and then added rhinestones to each butterfly.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Happiest Day stamp set in Petunia Pop ink and then cut it out using the Everyday Details Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
Edited to Add
Bundle Alert: The Sketched Butterflies Bundle is available and includes the Sketched Butterflies stamp set and Sketched Butterflies Dies.You save 10% when you purchase a bundle rather than purchasing the items separately and during the month of June 2024 you’ll receive an extra 10%.

by Tracy | May 20, 2024 | Designer Series Paper
Today I’m sharing a card I made using the Happiest Day stamp set, Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper (DSP), the Spotlight on Nature Dies and the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder.
I started with a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I cut a piece of Peach Pie cardstock (one of our new In Colors) and embossed it using the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder. Next, I cut the embossed cardstock into (3) 1″ strips and that left me with (3) 1″ strips and (1) 2″ strip.
Next, I cut a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock and layered it with a piece of Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of my card.
I stamped my sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Happiest Day, and Peach Pie ink. I cut it out using the Spotlight on Nature Dies and then cut the same shape, but larger, out of Calypso Coral cardstock. I layered the two pieces together with adhesive and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals just to the top and adhered it to the DSP layer.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
