by Tracy | May 9, 2025 | Birthday Card
The card I’m sharing with you today was created using The Right Words Stamp Set, Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper (this paper is an Online Exclusive), Nested Essentials Dies, Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder (an Online Exclusive), and Regal Foiled Adhesive-Backed Dots (which are currently on the Last Chance List and on sale).
Please, if the links don’t work, please click again a second or third time. You shouldn’t get an “Out With the Old, In With the New” with the exception of the Regal Foiled Adhesive-Backed Dots but I clicked the link above for the Regal Foiled Adhesive-Backed Dots and I got an “Out With the Old, In With the New” and when I clicked it again, it showed up. I just sent an email to Stampin’ Up! alerting them to the problem.
I started with a piece of Blackberry Bliss for the base of my card. I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the new Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder. Then, I adhered the embossed piece to the front of the card (I used Multipurpose Glue to adhere it to the front of the card).
I cut two more pieces of Blackberry Bliss cardstock and layered them with Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper and then adhered them to the front of the card. I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Blackberry Bliss ink and the stamp set, The Right Words. I cut the sentiment out using the Nested Essentials Dies and then cut a larger shape out of Blackberry Bliss cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the Blackberry Bliss cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered the sentiment to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three Regal Foiled Adhesive-Backed Dots in Blackberry Bliss to the front of the card (these are a Last Chance product). I also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Information About the Cloud Cover Classic Stampin’ Pad
Stampin’ Up! has strict guidelines for all of their products. An unforeseen, rare chemical reaction occurs when Cloud Cover ink is paired with the firm foam used in our Classic Stampin’ Pads resulting in a shift of color of the ink. Because of this Stampin’ Up! won’t be be releasing a Classic Ink Pad in Cloud Cover, although it’s in the catalog.
Because the actual Cloud Cover ink formula performs well before it’s added to a foam pad, our Stampin’ Spots are made with felt and Stampin’ Up! has not seen this unpredictable chemical response with felt. There are several options for you if you want to add Cloud Cover to your supply of ink pads:
Purchase the Classic Stampin’ Spot Small Assortment 1 (which includes Cloud Cover)
or
Purchase a set of five Uninked Stampin’ Spots and the Cloud Cover Stampin’ Ink Refill.

by Tracy | Apr 9, 2025 | Hello Card
Today I’m sharing two products with the same exact products. I used Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper, the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set, Spotlight on Nature Dies, Nested Essentials Dies and the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder. (If any links don’t work, please try again. I always test my links and some didn’t open for me. These products are all current so if you’re taken to a generic SU! page, please try the link again).
I started with a piece of Garden Green cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I cut two pieces of Basic White cardstock. I added one to the inside of the card and with the other one I slipped it inside the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I adhered it to the front of the card.
I then cut a piece of Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP) and adhered it to the front of the card. Then, I chose another pattern of Lovely Garden DSP and made a banner with using the Nested Essentials Dies. I then adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Garden Green ink and the stamp set, Beautiful Butterflies. I cut the sentiment out using the Spotlight on Nature Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
This next card was made with Fresh Freesia cardstock and Fresh Freesia ink.

Thanks for stopping by today!
by Tracy | Jan 25, 2025 | Hello Card
To create today’s card I used the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle, Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper (free with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration), Nested Essentials Dies and Sunny Day Iridescent Dots.
I used Daffodil Delight cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I cut a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock and layered it with a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder. Then, I adhered it to the front of the card.
I cut a butterfly using the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder and one of the dies that comes with it using Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper (free with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration). I cut the thorax out of Basic White cardstock and adhered it to the butterfly using Multipurpose Glue. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Butterfly but waited to adhere it to the embossed Basic White cardstock until I stamped the sentiment.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Beautiful Butterflies and Pumpkin Pie ink. I cut it out using the Nested Essentials Dies. I wanted to tuck the sentiment behind the butterfly so once I knew where I wanted the sentiment to go, I adhered it down and then added the butterfly.
To complete my card, I added three Sunny Day Dots in Pumpkin Pie around the butterfly and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

by Tracy | Jan 17, 2025 | Thank You Card
Before sharing my card with you today, I want to take some time to explain Sale-a-Bration.
With every $60 or $120 order you spend on Stampin’ Up! products (before tax/shipping), you get to choose a FREE Sale-a-Bration product. For instance, if your order before tax and shipping is $60, you can choose one item in the $60 category. If your order is $120 before tax and shipping, you can choose two products in the $60 category or one in the $120 category. There’s no limit to how many free products you can earn! If you click the graphic above, it will take you to a page where you can see the Sale-a-Bration products. Scroll down and click the $60 category and the $120 category. You’ll be able to choose your free Sale-a-Bration product(s) at check out.
The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the Memorable Blooms Bundle, Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper (it’s FREE with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration), Nested Essentials Dies, and Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins (this is also FREE with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration).
I started with a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock for the base of my card. Then I took a piece of Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) and put the octagon on it and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. There will be an inner piece when you run the octagon through your die cutting machine. We won’t use this piece for today’s card. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I had to cut some dimensionals along the inner edge of the Stampin’ Dimensionals to fit along the sides. I hope that makes sense.
I cut a piece of Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper using the octagon. You will need the inner piece for the card today. I added adhesive to the back and then placed it in the octagon shape.
I stamped the flowers on Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink and the stamp set, Memorable Blooms. I colored it with these Stampin’ Blends: Fresh Freesia and Lemon Lime Twist. I then cut it out using the Memorable Blooms Dies.
I used the Memorable Blooms Dies to cut a piece of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock to cut the leaves. I then added the leaves to the front using Mini Glue Dots. I then added Mini Glue Dots to the flowers and adhered them to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Fresh Freesia ink and the stamp set, Memorable Blooms. I cut it 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 a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added three Purple Adhesive-Backed Gems to the Toadstool Gardens DSP.
