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.

I have one more card for you using the layout I used yesterday but I used Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper for today’s card. You can see the other versions here and here.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I embossed a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the front of the card. I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a rectangle out of a piece of Basic White cardstock and then cut a piece of Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the rectangle (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Darling Details stamp set. I then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a larger circle out of Fresh Freesia cardstock and adhered the sentiment to it. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the center of the card.

Today’s card is a variation of a card I shared last week and you can see it here. I used the Darling Details stamp set, Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper, Scalloped Contours Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies and Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I embossed a piece of Lemon Lolly cardstock using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the front of the card. I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a rectangle out of a piece of Basic White cardstock and then cut a piece of Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the rectangle. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered the rectangle to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Darling Details stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and then cut a larger circle out of Pretty Peacock cardstock. I adhered the two pieces together, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the center of the card. Such a quick and easy card to make!

Before sharing my cards with you today, I want to let you know that four out of five 2021-2023 In Color Stamp Pads are on the Low Inventory List. At this point, we don’t know if these colors will be making a comeback in the Color Refresh but if they aren’t, they will sell out soon. I know this is frustrating not knowing which colors are retiring (it is for me too) but if you have a favorite color, in any shade, be sure to get extra ink refills and any other items associated with that color. We’ll know in a few weeks what colors are retiring but it’s anyone’s guess right now.
These stamp pads are on the Low Inventory List
I have two cards to share with you today and they are a variation of a card I shared last month. You can see that card HERE. I used the stamp sets, Full of Love and Sentimental Park, Stitched Rectangles Dies and Scalloped Contours Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I used a sheet of Orchid Oasis Designer Series Paper from the In Color 2022-2024 Assortment Pack and cut it using the Scalloped Contours Dies. After adhering it to the Thick Basic White cardstock, I used the Stitched Rectangles Dies to cut a rectangle out of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the flowers and envelope from the Full of Love stamp set in Memento Ink. I used the stamp set, Sentimental Park, to stamp the sentiment in Memento Ink.
I colored the flowers and leaves using these Stampin’ Blends:
- Orchid Oasis
- Daffodil Delight
- Sweet Sorbet
- Granny Apple Green
After coloring, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the rectangle and adhered it to the front of the card. I cut two 8″ pieces of White Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack and made a bow. I added a small amount of glue to the paper and then adhered the bow.
For this next card, I used a sheet of Highland Heather in the Subtles 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper Assortment Pack (which is also on the Low Inventory List and may retire once it’s gone because it may contain retiring colors). I used all the same products except I used the Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends to color the flowers on the right.
Supply List
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.
Measurements
- Thick Basic White cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ score at 4-1/4″

Request a Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog
It’s almost time for the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog! This year I’m implementing something new. I’m requesting that my customers fill out a form to have a new catalog sent to their home. I’m always happy to send complimentary copies of our catalogs to my customers but due to the rising cost of postage, I’m asking that you request one (it will still be complimentary). Normally I’d send a new catalog to anyone who has ordered from me in the past six months but I know that many of my customers shop with several different demonstrators and again due to the rising costs of mailing, I’d rather have you request a catalog so that you don’t have several catalogs from several different demonstrators. Thanks so much for your understanding!!
If you are a customer of mine and would like to have the Annual Catalog mailed to you and you’ve ordered from me in the last six months, please click HERE.
If you aren’t a customer of mine but would like a catalog, just email me (click the button on the sidebar) and I can send you a PayPal invoice.
Online Exclusives
The Online Exclusives products will not be in a catalog but can be ordered online. When they aren’t in a catalog, it’s hard to know what’s available so I created a two page flyer with all the NEW products that were released. You’ll find all the item numbers, an image of the products and prices. You can access the flyer here or click the image below. For more information about each product, click on the images on the flyer.
Host Code
Use the host code YSARVYSA to receive a package of 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots with your $50 or more online order. This offer ends on April 7th. Once the promotion is over, I’ll order the Decorative Dots and when I receive them, I’ll mail them out (although I do have some on hand right now).
