by Tracy | Mar 14, 2025 | Hello Card
The card I’m sharing with you today was made using Mixed Florals Bundle, Beautiful Butterflies stamp set, Perennial Postage Dies, Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder and Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Highland Heather cardstock using the Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of the card.
I die cut a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Perennial Postage Dies using the largest die in the set. I then adhered it to the front of the card. I stamped the flowers using the Mixed Florals Stamp Set in Memento Ink and then cut them out using the Mixed Florals Dies.
Next, I colored the flowers (using Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends), the leaves (using Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends) and the smaller flowers (using Boho Blue Stampin’ Blends). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment on Basic White cardstock using the Beautiful Butterflies Stamp Set and Highland Heather ink. I cut it out using the second smallest die in the Perennial Postage Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to just the top of the sentiment and adhered it to the flowers.
To complete my card, I added three large Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the front of the card.

Before sharing my card with you today, I wanted to let you know that the Paper Pumpkin site will shut down today and tomorrow it will back up on the Stampin’ Up! website where you can access your subscription!
The card I’m sharing with you today was created using the Everyday Arches Dies, Memorable Blooms Bundle, the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder and Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.
I started with a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered it to the front of the card.
I cut out an arch using the Everyday Arches Dies out of Basic White cardstock and then adhered it to the front of the card. I stamped the flowers onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Tuxedo Memento ink and the Memorable Blooms stamp set. I then cut it out using the Memorable Blooms Dies ( I usually cut it out last but I hate when I’ve colored the flowers and I mess up the cutting). I colored the flowers using Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the arch.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Highland Heather ink and the stamp set, Memorable Blooms. I then cut it out using the smallest die in the Everyday Arches Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it down near the stem.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added three larger Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the arch.

by Tracy | Feb 3, 2025 | Fun Fold Card, Happy for You
The card I’m sharing with you today was made using the Linked Together Bundle (which incudes the Linked Together stamp set, Linked Together dies and Linked Together Decorative Masks – I didn’t use the masks on my card). I also used Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.
I started with a piece of Highland Heather cardstock for the base of my card and then scored it in two places (you can the measurements I used below the Supply List). I burnished the score lines with my bone folder.
I cut two pieces of Perennial Lavender DSP and adhered them to the front flaps. Then I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Gorgeous Grape ink and the stamp set, Linked Together. I cut the sentiment out using the Linked Together Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the top of the sentiment and adhered it to the top flap.
Using the Linked Together Dies I cut two flowers out of Highland Heather cardstock and two more flowers out of Gorgeous Grape cardstock. I adhered them together with Multipurpose Glue (on the bottom flower) and then adhered them to the sentiment. I added a Purple Fine Shimmer Gem to the middle of each flower.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Today I’m sharing a card I made for my recent Kindest Expressions Card Sampler. I made the card using Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (DSP), the Kindest Expressions stamp set, Deckled Circles Dies and Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card.Then I added a piece of Perennial Lavender DSP (floral design) to another piece of Perennial Lavender DSP (purple design). Before adhering it to the front of the card, I cut another piece of Perennial Lavender (purple design) and adhered it to the middle and then adhered the entire piece to the front.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Gorgeous Grape ink and the stamp set, Kindest Expressions. I cut it out using the Deckled Circles Dies and then cut a larger circle out of Gorgeous Grape cardstock using the same dies. I layered the sentiment to the Gorgeous Grape, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.

Mystery Boxes
What’s a Mystery Box?
A Mystery Box is filled with retired products that I’d like to give 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 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
- Place a $125 or more order (before shipping/tax) at my Stampin’ Up! online store using the host code VCQST97K. I will send a Mystery Box to you as a free gift and I’ll even pay the postage!
