Today I’m sharing several new products from the new Annual Catalog. I used the Country Flowers Bundle (which includes the Country Flowers stamp set and Country Flowers Dies), Country Lace Designer Series Paper, Deckled Circles Dies and Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems.
I started off with a piece of Smoky Slate cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I layered a piece of Country Lace Designer Series Paper with a piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered the layer to the front of the card.
Next, I used the Deckled Circles Dies to cut a circle out of Basic White cardstock and then the next larger size out of Smoky Slate cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink at the bottom of the Basic White circle and then adhered the Basic White circle to the Smoky Slate circle.
I stamped the leaves and pot onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink. I colored the leaves using Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends and the pot was colored with Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends.
I used the Country Flowers Dies to cut the leaves and pot out. I adhered the pot above the sentiment and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the leaves and adhered them to the pot.
To complete my card I added three Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems around the pot of leaves and I adhered a piece of Basic White to the inside of the card.

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.

My card today was made using the Cutest Cows Bundle which includes the Cutest Cows stamp set and Cutest Cows Builder Punch. I also used the Nested Essentials Dies, Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper (DSP), and the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.
I started with a piece of Basic Black cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut two pieces of Basic White cardstock and adhered one to the inside of the card. With the other one, I placed it inside the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and then adhered it to the front of the card.
I layered a piece of Basic Black cardstock and Zoo Crew DSP and adhered it to the card front. Then, I stamped the cute cow in Memento Ink and then colored him with my Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. I punched him out using the Cutest Cows Builder Punch.
I used the Nested Essentials Dies to cut a rounded rectangle out of Basic Black cardstock and the next smaller size out of Basic White cardstock. I checked first to see where my cow would go before I stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink using the Cutest Cows stamp set. I attached the body of the cow to the Basic White cardstock using Glue Dots and then added two Dimensionals to his head and adhered both pieces to the front of the card.

I bought the Bird’s Eye View stamp set when the Annual Catalog was released last May but this is the first time I’ve used it. It’s such a cute stamp set and I wish I had used it sooner! To make my card, I also used the Blueberry Bunches stamp set, Lighter Than Air Designer Series Paper (DSP), Everyday Details Dies and my Stampin’ Blends.
I started with a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a layer of Boho Blue cardstock and Lighter Than Air DSP (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List).
I cut a large circle using the Everyday Details Dies and then stamped my cute bird (and her glasses) in Memento Ink using the Bird’s Eye View stamp set. I also stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink using the Blueberry Bunches stamp set. I colored the bird using Fresh Freesia, Boho Blue and Daffodil Delight (I used this color for her beak) Stampin’ Blends. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the circle and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White to the inside of the card and then added three 2023-2025 In Color Dots to the large circle.

Today’s card was created with the Everyday Details Bundle which includes the Everyday Details stamp set and Everyday Details Dies. I also used Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper (DSP).
I started with a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I cut a piece of Delightful Floral DSP and cut a rectangle in the middle using the Everyday Details Dies (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I love the details with these dies!
Then, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and stamped the flower vase in Memento ink using the Everyday Details stamp set and colored it with these Stampin’ Blends:
- Vase: Pecan Pie (light and dark)
- Leaves: Parakeet Party (light and dark)
- Flowers: Bubble Bath (light and dark)
I adhered the Basic White cardstock with the vase to the back of the DSP and then added adhesive to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink using the stamp set, Everyday Details. Then, I cut it out using the Everyday Details Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To finish my card I added three Tinsel Gems around the vase and adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Today’s card is another sneak peek of new products available this Thursday on January 4th! I used the Thoughtful Expressions Bundle #162822 which includes the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set and Thoughtful Expressions Dies. I also used the Softly Sophisticated Bundle #162947 which includes the Softly Sophisticated stamp set and the Softly Sophisticated 3D Embossing Folder. This Bundle is FREE with a $100 purchase during Sale-a-Bration!!
I’ve shared two other cards using this layout and you can see them here and here BUT please note that I did change some of the measurements and I didn’t add the extra piece of Designer Series Paper.
I started with a piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock for the base of my card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder (free with a $100 purchase during Saleabration) and adhered it to the front of the card. I cut another piece of Basic White cardstock and embossed it with the same embossing folder and then adhered it to another piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock. Then, I added it to the front of the card.
I stamped the hummingbird from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock. Then I colored the hummingbird using the following Stampin’ Blends:
Body: Dark Parakeet Party & Light Azure Afternoon (I laid down the Parakeet Party first and then blended Azure Afternoon into it).
Wings: Dark and Light Boho Blue
After coloring the hummingbird, I cut him out with the Thoughtful Expressions Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Orchid Oasis ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set and then cut it out using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies. I cut the same shape, but larger out of Orchid Oasis cardstock, adhered the sentiment to the front and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back (only on the part that would be on the same piece as the hummingbird) and adhered it to the card front.
To complete my card, I added three Tinsel Gems around the hummingbird and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
