My card was created using several products on the Last Chance List! I used Regal Winter Designer Series Paper (on the Last Chance list and discounted). I absolutely LOVE this paper and am sad I won’t be able to use it anymore once it sells out. I also used the Blueberry Bunches stamp set (it was normally $23.00 but it’s been discounted to $9.20! I also used Silver Foil Sheets, Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder, Stylish Shapes Dies and I added some heat embossing to the sentiment using silver embossing powder.
I started with a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I cut some Silver Foil. Next, I cut the pieces that would go on the Silver Foil (Regal Winter Designer Series Paper and Blackberry Bliss cardstock) but first I embossed the Blackberry Bliss cardstock using the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder. Next, I added the three pieces to the Silver Foil and then adhered the silver foil to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Blueberry Bunches stamp set and Versamark ink. I sprinkled silver embossing powder over the sentiment and then shook off the excess. Then I used my Heat Tool to watch the magic happen! I always get a little excited watching the sentiment change!
I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut the sentiment out and then used the next bigger size to cut a piece of Silver Foil. I adhered the sentiment to the silver foil, 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.

Last Chance Products
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 Exclusive 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).
- 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.
- 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.

by Tracy | Dec 5, 2024 | Christmas Card
Today’s card was made using many products on the Last Chance List! I used the Reindeer Fun stamp set (on the Last Chance List and discounted), A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper (on the Last Chance List and discounted), Gold Dipped Cards & Envelopes (on the Last Chance List and discounted) and Greetings of the Season Dies. Products on the Last Chance List are while supplies last!
I started by using one of the card bases in the Gold Dipped Cards & Envelopes pack. Then, I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensional to the back of the candy canes & bow (this is a die cut in A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper) and then adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Reindeer Fun stamp set and poured gold embossing powder over the sentiment and heated it up using my Heat Tool. Then, I cut it out with the Greetings of the Season Dies. I didn’t want the hole to be in the sentiment when I cut it out. So, I did one end of the die and then flipped it over and did the other side. You have to play around with it and get it in the same place (I have a picture underneath the card). I hope that makes sense. I added regular Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment, but if I had to do it over again, I would have used the Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. This was a quick and easy card to make!

by Tracy | Nov 19, 2024 | Christmas Card
Today I’m sharing a card I made using Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper, Greetings of the Season stamp set, Stylish Shapes Dies, Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (currently on the Low Inventory List). I also added some silver embossing powder to my sentiment to make it sparkle!
I started with a piece of Shaded Spruce for the base of my card. Then I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I cut a piece of Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper (I like to cut this paper longer than I actually need and then trim it off; I will add the exact dimensions of the finished piece below the Supply List). I then adhered it to the embossed Basic White cardstock and then adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using a Versamark ink pad, sprinkled my silver embossing powder over it and then heated it with my heat tool. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut it out, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back (I like to use a lot of Dimensionals) and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems in silver, to the front and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy (an anti-static pouch that can be found in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit) over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder. Stamp your sentiment or image using a Versamark pad. This is very sticky ink and your embossing powder will stick right to it. Sprinkle embossing powder over the stamped image and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so your paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image becomes shiny and beautiful!
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.
Bundle Alert: The Greetings of the Season Bundle is available with a 10% discount rather than buying the products separately.
Measurements for Today’s Card
- Shaded Spruce cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ score at 4-1/4″
- Basic White cardstock: (2) 5-1/4″ x 4″
- Basic White cardstock (sentiment): approx. 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″

The card I’m sharing with you today was made using Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper, the Merriest Tree stamp set, Nested Essentials Dies, the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder, Iridescent Foil Gems and some heat embossing using Metallics WOW! Embossing Powder in Gold.
I started with a piece of Garden Green cardstock for the base of my card. Then I embossed a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (this embossing folder is currently on the Low Inventory List as of this writing) and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I adhered it to the front of the card.
Next, I layered a piece of Gold Foil and Season of Green & Gold Specialty Paper, then adhered it to the middle of the card. I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink and sprinkled it with gold embossing powder and then used my heat tool to melt the embossing powder. I cut the sentiment out using the Nested Essentials Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added another piece of Very Vanilla cardstock to the inside of the card and added five Iridescent Foil Gems to the the front of the card. I chose these gems because they have gold flecks in them which was perfect for my card!

Here’s my card for today! I used A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper, Greetings of the Season stamp set, Deckled Rectangles Dies, Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and some heat embossing!
I started with Real Red cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I added a piece of A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper to the front of my card. I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I added the embossed cardstock to a piece of Real Red cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
Then, I heat embossed my sentiment using the stamp set, Greetings of the Season. If you have never tried heat embossing, I have directions down below. You’ll love the results! I used Gold Embossing Powder because there are flecks of gold in the Christmas tree. I then cut the sentiment out using the Deckled Rectangles Dies.
I punched out the tree (this set comes with three pages of die cuts that you just punch out – how easy is that!), and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back. Then, I figured out where I wanted to put the tree and sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the front and adhered the tree beside it.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy (an anti-static pouch that can be found in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit) over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder. Stamp your sentiment or image using a Versamark pad. This is very sticky ink and your embossing powder will stick right to it. Sprinkle embossing powder over the stamped image and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so your paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image becomes shiny and beautiful!
