I was really disappointed when I saw the Scalloped Contours Dies were retiring. This has been a much loved staple in my craft room. They are normally $35.00 but until April 30th, they are 30% off with a price tag of $24.50. I thought I’d share some cards, which you can see below, using the Scalloped Contours Dies. If you want more information about the card, simply click the image of the card and you’ll be taken to that blog post. I’ve created many more cards with these dies but I’m only showing ones with current and retiring product.
For this card, I also used the Sweet Citrus stamp set (20% off) and the Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder and Dies (50% off) which are both retiring and both on sale.
This card was created with the Stripes & Splatters embossing Folders (they have sadly already sold out) and Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper which is retiring and 20% off.
This card was created also using the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders (sold out) and Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper which is not retiring.
This card was made using the Darling Details stamp set which is retiring and Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper which is retiring and 50% off!
This card was already created with the Darling Details stamp set which is retiring and Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper which is retiring and 20% off.

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

Today’s card was created using the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder which includes an embossing folder and fourteen dies. I didn’t use the embossing folder for this card but I did use the dies. I also used Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper (a free gift you can choose if your order is $50 or more before shipping/tax during Sale-a-Bration), the Scalloped Contours Dies and the Bee My Valentine stamp set.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I cut a piece of Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper using the Scalloped Contours Dies and adhered it to the front of the card. Next, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Scalloped Contours Dies and set it aside.
Then I used the Adoring Hearts Dies to cut out three hearts out of Flight and Airy Designer Series Paper (I used two different designs) and a smaller heart out of Basic White cardstock. I have a picture below that shows the dies that come with the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder.
I stamped the sentiment onto the small Basic White heart using Flirty Flamingo ink and the stamp set, Bee My Valentine and then adhered it to the middle heart. I placed Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of each heart and adhered them to the Basic White rectangle. Then, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the rectangle and adhered it to the Designer Series Paper rectangle.

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.

by Tracy | Nov 29, 2023 | Birthday Card
Today’s card features Stampin’ Up! Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper (available while supplies last), Wanted to Say Dies and the Scalloped Contours Dies. For this card you won’t need a stamp set or ink! I needed a masculine birthday card, which I struggle with, and saw this card from fellow demonstrator, Mary Fish over at Stampin’ Pretty. I absolutely love her card but toned it down a bit for my son-in-law.
I started with a piece of Night of Navy cardstock for the base of my card. I added a layer of Basic White cardstock and Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper and adhered the layer to the front of the card. I used the Wanted to Say Dies to cut “Happy Birthday” in Night of Navy cardstock and the outline in Basic White cardstock. I glued the two pieces together, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and set it aside.
I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a scalloped rectangle out of Night of Navy cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front. Then, I adhered the die cut Happy Birthday to the scalloped rectangle. I added three Classic Matte Dots in white to the rectangle.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Today’s card was made using the Sweet Citrus stamp set and the Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder which includes an embossing folder and dies.
I started with a piece of Parakeet Party cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock, placed it inside the Sweet Citrus Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I adhered it to the front of the card.
Next, I cut a scalloped rectangle out of Basic White cardstock using the Scalloped Contours Dies. Then, I stamped the three pieces of lemon onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Daffodil Delight ink. The stamp is one big stamp and actually stamps four pieces of lemon but I chose to use three of them. There’s one stamp for the outside of the lemon which I stamped first and another stamp for the inside of the lemons. I used Daffodil Delight ink for both stamps. I was able to line the stamps up better by stamping the outside first but for you, it might be the other way around.
Then I cut the lemon pieces out using the Sweet Citrus Dies. I stamped the leaves onto Basic White cardstock using Parakeet Party ink and then cut them out with the leaf dies. What you can do, but I chose not to, is insert the dies in the embossing folder and your pieces will also be embossed!
I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Citrus stamp set onto the scalloped rectangle in Parakeet Party ink. Then, I adhered the lemon pieces and leaves to the rectangle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the rectangle and adhered it to the front of the card. I added three Daffodil Delight dots from the Glossy Dots Assortment to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

by Tracy | Aug 12, 2023 | Happy Birthday Card
Thanks so much for your understanding as to why I haven’t been posting. I arrived home a few days ago after being at my mom’s house for four months but I plan to go back in a few weeks. My Mom lived in her home for 53 years! We contacted a realtor and will be selling our family home. My sister and I have been working hard each day to go through all of our mom’s things, which has been excruciating. She loved Christmas and decorated her house so that it was a magical place. Last week we went through her Christmas decorations and I will be bringing quite a lot of them home with me (so many memories!!). Since my dad passed away first, we didn’t have to take the house apart and I really didn’t understand how very hard it is to disassemble someone’s life. My heart goes out to everyone who’s already done this.
I still won’t be posting every day but today I do have two cards to share that I made a few weeks ago. They both use the same products but I used different Designer Series Paper for each one. Both cards were made with the Wanted to Say Dies, Scalloped Contours Dies and one of the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folders.
For this first card, the base of my card is Bubble Bath cardstock. Then I added a piece of Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper to the front of the card. I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then cut another piece of Basic White cardstock to fit on the scalloped rectangle but first I ran it through one of the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the scalloped rectangle and adhered it to the front of the card.
Next, I used the Wanted to Say Dies to cut the words, Happy Birthday. I used Bubble Bath for the background piece and Basic White for the actual words. I adhered the two pieces together and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back to adhere it to the card front.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
For this next card, I used Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper and Berry Burst cardstock.
