by Tracy | Dec 13, 2024 | Thank You Card
The card I’m sharing with you today was made using Regal Winter Designer Series Paper (this paper is on the Last Chance List and is on sale), Everyday Greetings stamp set, Oxidized Copper Specialty Designer Series Paper, Nested Essentials Dies, Regal Foiled Adhesive-Backed Dots and I added some gold embossing powder to the sentiment.


I started with a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a piece of Regal Winter Designer Series Paper to the front of the card (you can find the measurements I used to make this card below the Supply List).


Next, I added a piece of Regal Winter DSP to the front of a piece of Oxidized Copper Specialty DSP, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.


I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink onto Basic White cardstock, sprinkled gold embossing powder over the sentiment and heated it with my Heat Tool (if you’ve never embossed before, you should try it! I have directions below if you want to give it a try). 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 three Regal Foiled Adhesive-Backed Dots below the sentiment and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.




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!

by Tracy | Dec 9, 2024 | Hello Card
Before sharing my card with you today, I want to remind you that Stampin’ Up! is having a free shipping promotion beginning today and will end on Wednesday, December 11th for orders of $75 or more! Read below for more information.

- Free shipping is for three days only. Orders must be opened and closed during December 9–11.
- Free shipping automatically applies to your cart after the qualifying amount has been met, which is $75.
- The additional cost for expedited shipping is not covered by this promotion.
- Prepaid 3-, 6-, or 12-month Paper Pumpkin subscriptions can contribute to the qualifying amount for free shipping (Month-to-month subscriptions do not qualify). Subscriptions billed and shipped this month will be charged for the normal amount of $24.50 shipping included + tax .

Stampin’ Up! will do all they can to return to the regular service levels as quickly as possible. Any orders placed during this promotion are not guaranteed to arrive before or by December 25. If you need an order to arrive by Christmas, order as early as possible or consider expedited shipping.

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.
- There will no longer be a Clearance Rack, it will be now known as the Last Chance Products page.

Thanks for stopping by today!
by Tracy | Oct 10, 2024 | You're the Best
Today I’m sharing three more cards I made using the same layout I used on Tuesday. You can see Tuesday’s card here.
For this first card I used Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies, Happiest Day stamp set and the Fern 3D Embossing Folder ( I used the Stylish Shapes Dies and the Happiest Day stamp set for all the cards).


I started with Pretty Peacock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the embossed cardstock on the inside flap of the card. Next I cut a piece of Perennial Lavender DSP and adhered it to the front of the card.


I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Pretty Peacock ink and the stamp set, Happiest Day. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Then, I cut a larger circle using the same dies out of Pretty Peacock cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the Pretty Peacock circle. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals just at the top of the sentiment and adhered it to the DSP.


To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card. This is a quick and easy to make card!


For this next card, I also used Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper and the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, Highland Heather cardstock and Gorgeous Grape ink.



For this final card, I used Regal Winter Designer Series Paper, Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and Blackberry Bliss cardstock and ink.
