I’ve loved using the Perennial Postage stamp set and unfortunately it’s retiring (but the Perennial Postage Dies are not but they are currently on the Low Inventory List). It’s a great stamp set with a variety of sentiments! Today I’m sharing a card that was in my recent Flowering Zinnias Card Sampler and uses the Perennial Postage stamp set. This is the only retiring product on my card today. The Perennial Postage Bundle is still available (as of this writing). When you purchase a bundle, you save 10%).
I started with a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock for the base of my card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then, I embossed two pieces of Basic White cardstock using one of the Fun Patterns Embossing Folders (these embossing folders are an Online Exclusive and won’t be found in any catalog) and then adhered them to the front of the card.
I cut another piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock and layered it with a piece of Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (another Online Exclusive product). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped my sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set Perennial Postage (retiring). I then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a larger circle, using the same dies, out of Blackberry Bliss cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the larger Blackberry Bliss circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.

Mystery Boxes Are Still Available
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!

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).

I haven’t posted since last week because I’ve been ill and didn’t want to do much of anything. I’m finally feeling much better.
Today’s card was made using the Perennial Postage Bundle, Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper, Paper Butterfly Accents and Purple Fine Shimmer Gems (these gems are currently not available but are expected to be back in stock the week of March 11).
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut two pieces of Highland Heather cardstock and two different designs of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper and adhered them together before adding them to the front of my card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Gorgeous Grape ink and the stamp set Perennial Postage. I cut the sentiment out using the Perennial Postage Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used a Blending Brush to brush Highland Heather ink over the front of the Paper Accents Butterfly. I then added Multipurpose Glue to the back and adhered it to the sentiment. To complete my card, I added three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the sentiment.

The best time to purchase the Starter Kit is during Sale-A-Bration!! The Starter Kit is $99 and you’ll receive $125 in Stampin’ Up! product (shipping is always free when you purchase the Starter Kit)! The Starter Kit is truly for anyone! It’s for the person who wants to receive a 20% (to start) discount when they buy their Stampin’ Up! products. It’s also for the business minded person. There’s no risk in purchasing the Starter Kit, only perks and you get to choose what you want to add to your Starter Kit. But wait, there’s more!
When I purchased the Starter Kit in 2009, I bought it just so I could get the discount. In 2009 you didn’t have the freedom to choose the products you wanted, it came with set products.

The heavy-duty glass mat comes printed with a ruler and grid lines for easy measuring, while the large surface space gives ample room for spreading out while paper crafting. The safety-tempered glass has a heat and scratch resistant surface that wipes clean with the included cloth and water—no chemicals needed. The reusable cloth also cleans ink off your stamps! The nonslip, heat resistant, waterproof silicone mat features four palette squares for mixing custom ink colors or for holding small ink spots in place while crafting. Each component can be used separately or you can use all three items together for a multipurpose paper crafting studio that’s both functional and elegant.

Today’s card is one that was included in my Perennial Lavender Card Sampler several weeks ago. It features the Perennial Postage stamp set, Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (DSP), Thoughtful Expressions Dies, Fern 3D Embossing Folder and Iridescent Foil Gems.
I started with a piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock and embossed it using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. Before adhering the embossed cardstock to the card base, I added a strip of Lost Lagoon cardstock to the center. I cut two pieces of Pretty Peacock cardstock and two pieces of Perennial Lavender DSP and adhered them together and then adhered them to the card front.
I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Perennial Postage. I cut it out using the Thoughtful Expressions 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 Iridescent Foil Gems to the front.
