by Tracy | Feb 12, 2025 | Hello Card
The card I’m sharing with you today was made using Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper, Beautiful Butterflies stamp set, Spotlight on Nature dies, and Party Dots. If any links don’t work, please try them again. Stampin’ Up! let demos know that this is a global issue impacting links beyond just Stampin’ Up!, meaning you may encounter other broken links while browsing the web. Stampin’ Up! has not yet provided an estimated timeline for resolution.


I started with Pretty in Pink cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I cut a piece of Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the front of the card. You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.


I used the Spotlight on Nature Dies to cut a large circle and a smaller circle out of Basic White cardstock. Then, I punched the premade die cuts out and arranged them on the larger circle and adhered the die cuts down. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the circle and then set it aside.
I stamped my sentiment on the smaller circle in Blueberry Bushel ink. Next, I decided where I wanted the circles to be on the card front. I adhered the smaller circle first and then the larger circle.


To complete my card, I added three Party Dots in Pretty in Pink to the larger circle and then added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside. I love how this card turned out and I’m having fun using the Wildflower Birthday DSP.

I’ve made a few more cards using Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper (FREE with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration). You can see another card I made with this same design using Beautiful Bokeh 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, here!
For today’s card, I also used the Spotlight on Nature Bundle which includes the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Spotlight on Nature stamp set.


I started with a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and scored it in two places (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I cut two pieces of Bloom Impressions DSP and attached them to the front flaps.


I then folded up the Basic White cardstock and adhered it to the Blackberry Bliss cardstock base using Tear & Tape Adhesive (that’s what I like to use) but you can also use Stampin’ Seal+.
I stamped the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set Spotlight on Nature and cut it out using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I cut another, larger circle out of Blackberry Bliss cardstock using the next larger shape in the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the Blackberry Bliss circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back but only on the right and adhered it to the left flap.

Here’s two more variations. With this first one I used Blackberry Bliss cardstock and Blackberry Bliss ink. With both of them I used the Starstruck Embossing Folder (FREE with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration).


With this next one I used Bloom Impressions DSP and Melon Mambo cardstock and Melon Mambo ink.

Below you’ll find all the Stampin’ Up! supplies I used for today’s cards. 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.

Paper Pumpkin Kit – Hearts For You

An additional coordinating add-on is available but only for Paper Pumpkin subscribers. Click the image below for more information.

Thanks for stopping by today!
by Tracy | Dec 2, 2024 | Christmas Card

Before sharing my card with you today, I want to let you know about Last Chance Products! This will begin on Tuesday, December 3, 2024. This is a brand new process and I’m learning while I go!
- The Last Chance Products category will include retiring products from the September -December 2024 Mini Catalog and online 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).
- There will be a Last Chance Products category in the Online Store.
- 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.
- The Last Chance Products category will be updated every other month (more retiring products will be added). Updates to this category will happen in February, April, June, August, October, and December.
- 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..
- The Last Chance Products will be available to all on December 3, 2024. You’ll be able to see what’s retiring!
While I have your attention, Demonstrators needed to finalize on Saturday, who we would be sending the new January-April 2025 Mini Catalog & Sale-a-Bration brochure to. If you ordered from me in the last six months, I ordered one for you and you should be receiving it between mid to late December. The new catalog goes live on January 7, 2024!
On to my card for today! I used the Decorative Trees Bundle, Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder, Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper (DSP), Spotlight on Nature Dies and our Festive Glimmer Paper.


I started with a piece of Real Red cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I cut two pieces of Basic White cardstock. I embossed one of them with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and adhered it to the front of the card. With the other one, I adhered it to the inside of the card.


Next, I cut the solid tree in the Decorative Tree Dies in Garden Green cardstock and for the decorative one, I used Festive Glimmer Paper. I glued the trees together using Multipurpose Glue (I only put glue on the open parts of the decorative tree). I then cut two circles out of Reindeer Days DSP (both of the circles are the same size) using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I adhered the circles to the front of the card but on the tree, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhered the tree between the deer.




I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Real Red ink and the Decorative Trees stamp set. Then, I cut it down to size with my Paper Trimmer, then I adhered it to the front of the card. This was a fun card to make!
