Before sharing my card with you today . . . . .
2024-2025 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog
The new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog will debut on May 1, 2024. I send complimentary catalogs to my customers so, if you are a current customer of mine (have ordered with me in the past six months), please fill out this form to request an Annual Catalog. Due to rising costs to purchase the catalogs and mail them, I won’t send a catalog unless you request that I send one to you, so please fill out the form. The deadline to fill out the form is March 30, 2024.
If you aren’t a current customer of mine, place an order choosing me as your demonstrator and then come back and fill out this form. I will have the link to the form on every blog post until March 30th. You can place an order with me here.
Quick Note: Today the retirement list will be posted to make room for 2024-2025 new products. I will post the retirement list here on my blog later today. If you get blog post notifications whenever I post to my blog, you won’t get the notification until tomorrow.
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.

Today’s card was made using Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper (free with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration), Throughout the Year stamp set, Stylish Shapes Dies and the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.
I started with a piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and my Cut & Emboss Machine and then adhered it to the front of the card.
I cut two pieces of Lost Lagoon cardstock and two pieces of Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper, adhered them together and then, adhered them to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Misty Moonlight ink and the stamp set, Throughout the Year. I then cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added Basic White cardstock to the inside. If you’d like the measurements I used to create today’s card, you can find them below the Supply List.

by Tracy | Dec 8, 2023 | Christmas Card
Today’s card was made using the Christmas Classics stamp set (available while supplies last), A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper (available while supplies last), Magical Meadow Dies (available while supplies last), Timber 3D Embossing Folder and the Stylish Shapes Dies.
I started with a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock for the base of my card. I cut two pieces of Basic White cardstock and adhered one to the inside. I embossed the other piece using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and then set it aside.
I cut a piece of A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List) and adhered it to the front of the Basic White embossed piece and then adhered it to the front of the card. I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Christmas Classics, and cut it out using one of the square dies in the Stylish Shapes Dies. I then cut a larger square out of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and adhered the sentiment to the front.
I used the Magical Meadow Dies to cut two sprigs out of Basic White cardstock and another out of Pretty Peacock cardstock. I used my Dark Real Red Stampin’ Blend to color the berries on the middle sprig (I colored them twice to make it even darker). I adhered the sprigs to the back of the Cherry Cobbler square using Stampin’ Dimensionals, added more to the rest of the square and adhered it to the front of the card.

Today’s card features the Kindest Gnomes Bundle which includes the Kindest Gnomes stamp set and the Gnomes Dies. This was not a bundle I immediately purchased because I’m not really a “gnomes person”. But about a month ago my sister made the cutest gnomes to sell at a craft fair next month and after seeing her cute creations, I was hooked. Plus, I’ve seen so many cute gnome cards from fellow demonstrators. I’m hooked and had fun creating my first gnome card!
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a layer of Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper. Then I used that same design to cut a hat for my gnome using the Gnomes Dies.
Using the Scalloped Contours Dies, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used the Gnomes Dies to cut the beard out of Basic White cardstock, Petal Pink for the nose and Pacific Point for the feet. I adhered all those piece together, along with the hat and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered my gnome to the front of the card.
I heat embossed the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Silver Embossing Powder and then cut the sentiment out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered it below the gnome and tucked it under his feet. To complete my card, I added three Festive Pearls below the sentiment and added two more on the embossed rectangle (unfortunately the Festive Pearls are not available at the moment but should be back in stock the week of November 21st).
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!

Today I have two cards that are variations of a card I shared last week. You can see that card HERE. You can refer to that post for directions on how to make the card and the measurements. For the versions today, I used Texture Chic Designer Series Paper, Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Cup of Tea.
This first card was made using Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper and the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. All the cards today were made using our Festive Pearls and I embossed the sentiments using gold embossing powder.
For these next cards I used Texture Chic Designer Series Paper and the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. Our Festive Pearls come in four colors: Cherry Cobbler, Soft Succulent, Silver and Gold. I used the gold pearls for all of the cards today except for the one below and I used the Soft Succulent pearls. The Festive Pearls have been very popular and keep going in and out of stock. If you’ve had your eye on them, I’d recommend getting them as soon as you can.
This only difference between the previous card and this one is that I used the gold pearls.
For this last one, instead of using Gold Foil for the decorative circle, I used Pool Party cardstock.
I find it really fun to take a card design I like and then try using different paper and cardstock and even a different sentiment. I hope you’ll give this card design a try!
