Today’s card was made using the Unbounded Love Bundle, Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper, and 2024-2026 In Color Flat Pearls. The Unbounded Love Bundle is an Online Exclusive. If you get a page that says “Out With the Old, In With the New”, please click the link again.
Please see the message after the Measurements I provide for you. It addresses the Back in Stock Notifications.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card (which is now an Online Exclusive). Stampin’ Up! was going to discontinue Basic White Thick cardstock but they didn’t because Stampin’ Up! demonstrators said it was a staple of cardmaking. Stampin’ Up! sends the catalog to the printer way in advance and they thought they weren’t bringing it back so that’s why it is an Online Exclusive. Hopefully it will be in the next Annual Catalog. Time will tell.
Back to my card. I cut a piece of Petunia Pop cardstock and adhered it to the front of my card (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List. I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then set it aside.
I cut a piece of Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper and then cut it into 1″ strips. Then, I adhered them to the Basic White cardstock that I set aside.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Unbounded Love Stamp Set in Misty Moonlight ink. Next, I cut the sentiment out using the Unbounded Love Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I completed my card by adding three 2024-2026 In Color Flat Pearls in Petunia Pop to the center of the Misty Moonlight flowers.

by Tracy | Sep 23, 2024 | Christmas Card
Today I’m sharing a card I made using A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper, Greetings of the Season stamp set, the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder, Unbounded Love Dies and some gold embossing.
I started with a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of the card.
I used one of the cut outs (poinsettias) in A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper an adhered it down to the embossed cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Greetings of the Season. Then, I sprinkled gold embossing powder over the sentiment, shook the excess embossing powder off and heated it up with my heat tool (if you’ve never embossed before I will have directions at the end of the post). I cut the sentiment out using the Unbounded Love Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
To complete my card, I 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.

Mystery Boxes
What’s a Mystery Box?
A Mystery Box is filled with retired products that I’d like to give 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 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.
You can place an order HERE.
There are two ways to get a Mystery Box
