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.

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.

by Tracy | Dec 21, 2024 | Happy Birthday Card
Today I’m sharing a card I made using Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper (DSP) #164944. This DSP is a Sale-a-Bration product and when your order is $60 you can choose this paper and it will be FREE. Sale-a-Bration starts on January 7th and runs through February 28th. I made another card using Bloom Impressions DSP and you can see it here. To create my card I also used the Unbounded Love stamp set and Stylish Shapes Dies.
I started with a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I added a layer of Basic White to the front of the card. I cut another piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock and set it aside (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List).
Next, I cut Bloom Impressions DSP and then cut it into strips 3/4″ wide. I then glued the pieces to the Blackberry Bliss cardstock that I set aside and adhered it to the Basic White cardstock.
Then, I stamped my sentiment on Basic White cardstock in Blackberry Bliss ink using the stamp set, Unbounded Love. I cut it out with the Stylish Shapes Dies and then cut a larger circle out of Blackberry Bliss cardstock using the same dies. I 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.
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.
Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper #164944 will be available on January 7, 2025 as a Sale-a-Bration free product with a $60 purchase.
Bundle Alert: The Unbounded Love Bundle is available with a 10% discount rather than buying the stamp set and dies separately.
Measurements
- Blackberry Bliss cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ score at 4-1/4″
- Blackberry Bliss cardstock: 5″ x 3-3/4″
- Blackberry Bliss cardstock (under sentiment): scrap

Two New Kits by Stampin’ Up!
Click each image for more information. I do have some information about the Haunted Home Kit. See below.
Stampin’ Up! was blown away by the interest in the Haunted Home Kit! This is what Stampin’ Up! had to say about this specific kit: “Wow! Your interest in the Haunted Home kit has been overwhelming. Like you, we love it, and we must admit we didn’t anticipate it would vanish like a ghost, selling out in just days in most markets. Ordinarily, we wouldn’t release an update on an out-of-stock kit, but we see how this is a special circumstance as it relates to your holiday crafting plans. We’re happy to say, we have more Haunted Home kits on their way, and we felt it important to let you know they’re not projected to arrive until after Halloween. We anticipate they’ll arrive in November, barring any unforeseen external delays. Fortunately, we plan to carry this cute kit through Halloween 2025, so you can place an order when they arrive and plan on having some frightful fun with them in the future. Thank you for your patience and support.”
