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.

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).

Today’s card was created using Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper, the stamp set, Framed Occasions, assorted Stampin’ Blends, Beautiful Shapes Dies and Stitched Rectangle Dies.
I was looking through the Annual Catalog and saw a card on page 119 that I just loved. I kept wondering what stamp set was used on the card and then realized it was Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper! So I immediately grabbed my pack of paper and a handful of Stampin’ Blends and got to work!
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I used the Stitched Rectangles Dies to cut a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card. I used these same dies to cut a smaller rectangle out of a piece of Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper. I colored the Designer Series Paper using these Stampin’ Blends:
- Sweet Sorbet
- Granny Apple Green
- Balmy Blue
- Pumpkin Pie
- Daffodil Delight
At first I was using both my Light and Dark Blends in Sweet Sorbet and Granny Apple Green but realized I only needed to use the Light Blend. This design has dark areas that when you color them (with a “Light” Stampin’ Blend), it looks like you’re an expert with shading so there’s no need to use the Dark Blend, unless you want it to be even darker.
After I finished coloring, I adhered the piece to the Granny Apple Green cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink using the stamp set, Framed Occasions and then cut it out using the Beautiful Shapes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front. It was hard knowing where to put it because I didn’t want to cover up any of my coloring! To complete my card, I added five rhinestones to the front of the card.

Measurements
- Thick Basic White cardstock: 11″ x 4-1/4″ score at 5-1/2″

Today’s card was created using Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper, a Sale-a-Bration gift you can earn FREE with a $50 order. I also used the new stamp set, Kind & Sincere.
I started with a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock for the base of my card. I scored it in two places to create a pocket and a flap (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I used Tear & Tape adhesive on the sides of the smaller section to create my pocket.
Then, I cut two pieces of Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper and adhered one to the top of the card and the other on the bottom section where the pocket is. I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and inserted it in the pocket.
On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment in Fresh Freesia ink using the stamp set, Kind & Sincere, and cut it out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I cut a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock, a little bit larger than the sentiment, and then adhered the sentiment to the front. On the back, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals just at the top and adhered it to the top flap. To complete my card, I added three Adhesive Backed Milky Dots below the sentiment.

Today’s cards were made using Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper. This paper has been very popular and has been unavailable for quite some time but right now it’s available! This first card uses two of the designs in the package.
To make this card (and the others), I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock – you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List. I cut a piece of Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper (DSP) and placed it on the front of the card and cut another piece of DSP and placed it on the inside, over on the right. I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Hello Harvest. This stamp set is included in the Hello Harvest Bundle which has been unavailable for quite some time but I’m happy to say it’s back in stock! It also includes the Rustic Pumpkin Dies. You can see the bundle below although I didn’t use the dies for my cards today but I know many of you have been waiting for this bundle to be available again.
I used the Stitched Rectangles Dies to cut the sentiment and then cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock and layered the two pieces together. On the back, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right side only and then placed it on the left side of the card. I used our Brushed Metallic Dots on each side of the sentiment.
For this next card, I used the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder to emboss the small strip on the right.
For this next card, I used our Solid Faceted Gems. I have to admit that until I saw the picture of this product on the SU! website as I was writing this post, I didn’t know that these gems weren’t black! They are actually Mossy Meadow!
This is an easy card to make! I hope you’ll give it a try!

Onto my last Sale-a-Bration card! I used the Hippest Hippos stamp set and the Hippo Dies to create today’s card. Each of these products can be earned with a $50 purchase but only until the end of today!
Edited to Add: Unfortunately it seems the Hippos Dies have sold out. My link for the dies takes you to the landing page and not the product and that means they are gone. I’m sorry!!!
To create my card, I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock. Then I used the Basic Borders Dies to cut a scalloped edge across the bottom of the front. I adhered a piece of Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper to the inside so it would peek through.
I stamped the hippo in Memento ink and then colored him with Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends (Light & Dark) and for the flower I used Balmy Blue Blends (Light) and Granny Apple Green (Dark). I cut the hippo out using the Hippo Dies.
I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut the Balmy Blue and Basic White circles. Then I placed the Basic White circle in the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the two circles together and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back.
During Sale-a-Bration, the Timber 3D Embossing Folder can either be earned with a $50 order using the product number 163094 or it can be purchased using the product number 156406.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Balmy Blue ink and the stamp set, Hippest Hippos. It was cut out using the Stitched Rectangles Dies. I added a little bit of adhesive to the front of the sentiment and slipped it behind the hippo. I added more adhesive to the hippo and adhered it to the circles and then placed it on the front of the card.
