by Tracy | Dec 17, 2024 | Hello Card, Thank You Card
The card I’m sharing with you today is a sneak peek at one of the new Designer Series Papers in the new Mini Catalog, Floral Delight #164700. This new catalog will be live on January 7, 2025. I also used the Everyday Greetings stamp set and Spotlight on Nature Dies.
If you’ve ordered from me in the past six months, I ordered a catalog for you and it will come directly from Stampin’ Up!
I started with a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I added a piece of Floral Delight Designer Series Paper (DSP) to the card base (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then, I adhered another design in the Floral Delight DSP pack to a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Everyday Greetings stamp set in Balmy Blue ink. Next, I cut it out using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
Here’s another version of the card using the Simply Said stamp set, Stylish Shapes Dies and Old Olive and Daffodil Delight cardstock and Old Olive ink.

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.

My card today showcases the Reindeer Fun Bundle (this bundle is on the Last Chance List and will be available while supplies last). The stamp set and dies are discounted but it comes to the same price as the bundle. I also used the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper (also on the Last Chance List and on sale), Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder, Stylish Shapes Dies and Drusy Adhesive-Backed Embellishments.
I started off with a piece of Real Red cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I used a die in the Reindeer Fun Bundle to cut the circle out of a piece of Basic White Cardstock. Next, I embossed the Basic White cardstock using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. If you reverse the directions, you’ll flatten out the embossing. Then, I adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock (the same size) and adhered the embossed cardstock to the other piece. Then, I glued the whole piece to the front of the card.
I cut the Mama deer and her baby out of Reindeer Days DSP using one of the deer dies in the Reindeer Fun Bundle. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered them to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Reindeer Fun stamp set in Garden Green ink. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added Stampin Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added three Drusy embellishments to the front of the card and adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

I find it helpful to go up to the top of Last Chance Products Category and sort the products from A-Z. Then, they are in alphabetical order. My brain just works better when products are in alphabetical order.
- 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.

I started with a piece of Garden Green cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder and my Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of the card.
Did you know Stampin’ Up! A Little Bit Festive Designer Series Paper comes with cut outs? My wreath is a cut out! After I punched the wreath out, I adhered it to the front of the card. I used our Festive Glimmer Paper to cut a banner using the Stylish Shapes Dies.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Garden Green ink and the stamp set, Christmas Friends. Then, I cut it out using the smaller banner in the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the Glimmer Paper and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Glimmer Paper and adhered it to the wreath.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

Before sharing my card with you, because it’s my birthday today, I’m going to offer Double Bradley Points for today only, November 21st! You can earn free products when you earn 10 Bradley Points! You earn Bradley Points with every $50 purchase!
The card I’m sharing today was made using Stampin’ Up! A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper, the Decorative Trees stamp set and Stylish Shapes Dies. I’ve created a pocket where you can insert a gift card and note or just a note.
I started with a piece of Real Red cardstock for the base of my card. I scored it in two places (you can see the measurements I used below the Supply List) and then used my bone folder to burnish the score lines. On the smaller end (you can see the picture below), I added a strong adhesive, such as Tear & Tape, to both ends and folded up to create the pocket.
I added A Little Bit Festive Designer Series Paper to the top portion on the front and then shut the card so I could apply the bottom part. I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to put in the pocket and adhered a strip of A Little Bit Festive Designer Series Paper. I will give you the measurements of the exact size but I like to cut it a bit longer than I need and then trim it off.
I stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Decorative Trees stamp set. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and then cut the next larger circle out of Real Red cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the Real Red circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back, on only the upper part, and then adhered it to the upper flap.

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.

Today I’m sharing a card I made using Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper, Greetings of the Season stamp set, Stylish Shapes Dies, Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (currently on the Low Inventory List). I also added some silver embossing powder to my sentiment to make it sparkle!
I started with a piece of Shaded Spruce for the base of my card. Then I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I cut a piece of Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper (I like to cut this paper longer than I actually need and then trim it off; I will add the exact dimensions of the finished piece below the Supply List). I then adhered it to the embossed Basic White cardstock and then adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using a Versamark ink pad, sprinkled my silver embossing powder over it and then heated it with my heat tool. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut it out, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back (I like to use a lot of Dimensionals) and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems in silver, to the front and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy (an anti-static pouch that can be found in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit) over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder. Stamp your sentiment or image using a Versamark pad. This is very sticky ink and your embossing powder will stick right to it. Sprinkle embossing powder over the stamped image and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so your paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image becomes shiny and beautiful!
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. The Specialty Plate is used with 3D Embossing Folders.
Bundle Alert: The Greetings of the Season Bundle is available with a 10% discount rather than buying the products separately.
