Although the Sale-a-bration promotion ended in February and we’re closing out the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog from Stampin’ Up!, I’m still showing “some love” to Sale-a-bration products! This vintage style card features the beautiful Detailed Dogwood Stamp Set which was one of the free Sale-a-bration products. This card is one of four cards from the April card class. There just weren’t enough months to use the products and hey, we’ve earned them so we must use them. Right?! Hopefully, you were able to earn this stamp set and will find inspiration with this card design.
If you want to recreate this card, you’ll find the material measurements and an assembly video below.
Cut Dimensions:
Pebbled Path Cardstock: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ (score/fold at 4-1/4″ for card base)
Bubble Bath Cardstock: cut 2 at 4″ x 5-1/4″; scrap for stamping desired sentiment
Basic White Cardstock: cut 2 at 3-3/4″ x 5″
Thick Basic White Cardstock: 3-1/4″ x 4″ for stamping dogwood (or use regular Basic White)
Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper: 3″ x 4″
ASSEMBLY VIDEO for the Detailed Dogwood Vintage Card
If you weren’t able to earn the stamp set, don’t fret – there are great floral options to use in place of the dogwood. Two great Online Exclusive options are the Simply Zinnia or Magnolia Mood Stamp Sets. So head off to your craft room and start creating! (LOL)

The new 2024-2025 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog is coming soon! On May 1, you’ll be able to purchase products such as this new Hearts & Hugs bundle. As a demonstrator, we’re offered the opportunity to purchase select products a month prior to their release. One such product is the adorable Hearts & Hugs Bundle. (Remember a bundle includes the stamp set and the coordinating dies – by purchasing as a bundle, you save 10%.) The different characters are cute but I especially like the sentiments in the stamp set. We all need a hug once in awhile and the bundle is a great way to send a hug via a greeting card.
For today’s card, I opted to use the pair of walruses from the Hearts & Hugs Bundle. Just look at the faces of the walruses! Doesn’t it make you feel warm & fuzzy?
Notice the pink? It’s one of the new 2024-2026 In-Colors, called Pretty In Pink and is also “coming soon.” The pink is a “true pink” and pairs with a wide variety of the Stampin’ Up! colors. Today, I’ve paired it with Pecan Pie.
Cut Dimensions
Pretty In Pink Cardstock: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ (score/fold at 4 1/4″ for card base)
Pecan Pie Cardstock: 5 1/4″ x 4″ (layering panel)
Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper: 5″ x 3 3/4″ (top layering panel)
Basic White Thick Cardstock: 4″ x 2 1/4″; 3″ x 3/4″
How-To Video
Be sure to add the Hearts & Hugs Bundle to your wish list! May 1st is approaching soon and you’ll want to create “paper hugs” to send to your friends. If you would like a copy of the 2024-2025 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog and currently do not have a demonstrator, just email me your request.

In today’s post I’m sharing another of the cards from the February card class featuring products from the Perennial Lavender Product Suite. Building on the last post featuring a fun fold, this design is a double Z-fold card. The Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper provides a beautiful backdrop for the die cut leaves and the Paper Butterfly Embellishment. The card also uses the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder to cut and emboss the sentiment.
Cut Dimensions for the Perennial Lavender Z-Fold Card:
Lost Lagoon Cardstock: 4-1/4″ x 11″ and 1-1/4″ x 11″, score both at 2-3/4″ & 5-1/2″
Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper: (2 pcs) 2-1/2″ x 4″; 5-1/4″ x 4″‘; 1″ x 5-1/4″; (2 pcs) 1″ x 2-1/2″
Basic White Cardstock: 1-3/4″ x 2-1/2″; 5-1/4″ x 4″

Note: If you want to see how to use the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder, it is demonstrated in the Perennial Lavender book fold card video. You can find the video on my YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/@CreativeStampingwithMargaret.

Isn’t the bumblebee the cutest?! Today’s card features the Bee My Valentine Bundle and the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper from the Stampin’ Up! Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. I’m using it as a Valentine’s card but the sentiment works for other occasions too. Perhaps as a fun anniversary card or just a way to express love. The cheerful Bee Mine Designer Series Paper provides the perfect background for the card. You’ll notice that the sentiment is cut with the Heart Punch…unfortunately after using, I realized the punch is retired. However if you don’t have a heart punch or a heart die, a circle punch or other shape to cut around the sentiment will work great.
Do you want to recreate the card? The cut dimensions for the cardstock and Bee Mine Designer Series Paper, as well as, an assembly video are below to make it convenient for you!
Cut Dimensions for the Bee Mine Valentine Card:
Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock: 4-1/4″ x 11″, score/fold at 5-1/2″ (card base)

It’s time to prepare holiday cards and today’s project features the Joy of Noel Stamp Set from the Stampin’ Up! Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog. The Joy Of Noel Holiday card is a simple, beautiful card. Even better, the design uses the “one sheet wonder” technique! You stamp on a full sheet of cardstock and then cut to create four panels for cards. This enables you to create four cards in one quick swoop! If you’re not familiar with this stamping technique, it’s demonstrated in the assembly video below.
One quick note…If you don’t currently own this stamp set (or the Joy of Noel Bundle with the coordinating dies), order soon! The set is being retired!
