Good morning, crafty friends. My card today has a video from my regular Sunday YouTube Live, so if you’d like to watch me make it you can 🙂
If you’ve seen the 2024 Annual Catalog you know that it’s laid out much differently than previous catalogs. Two of my favorite things in the catalog are the samples throughout the catalog and the sketches on page 22 that will help spur your creativity. I would be considered a newbie card maker compared to many of you since I have only been a card maker for about two years. Sometimes creating with a sketch using alternate elements eludes me, but we all start someplace, right?
My card uses the first sketch in the second row at the bottom of page 22 of the Stampin’ Up! 2024 Annual Catalog. I chose to use the Everyday Details Dies which are now in the Online Exclusives section of my Stampin’ Up! store. I’m glad the Everyday Detail Dies are still available.
I used all the 2024 – 2026 In Colors and DSP patterns for my card. My largest circle is in Pretty in Pink with a Petunia Pop Ink sentiment stamped with the Love This Moment Stamp Set. I can’t wait to use the Love This Moment Stamp Set in my memory keeping as I get back to scrapbooking.
I used Basic White Thick for my card base and added a Summer Splash striped DSP for the front panel. With the Everyday Essentials Dies, I cut the three smaller circles from the second smallest circle and used the next die larger for the Pretty in Pink sentiment circle. I adhered the Peach Pie and Petunia Pop circles to the card front with liquid glue. I stamped the Love This Moment sentiment in Petunia Pop ink. I adhered the sentiment circle to the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensional. I added the Shy Shamrock circle to the front of the card with dimensionals on the left side and liquid glue where the smaller circle overlapped the Pretty in Pink circle. I added three Petunia Pop 2024 – 2026 In Color Resin Dots to the sentiment circle.
For the inside panel, I used a standard Basic White inside panel and added a 1/4″ x 4″ decorative strip with liquid glue. I added DSP to the Basic White Envelope flap with liquid glue as well and stamped the front of the envelope with three Love This Moment Stamp Set hearts in Petunia Pop ink.

Retired Stampin’ Up! Products
My online Stampin’ Up! retired product store has been refreshed with additional products. I will be adding more retired products as I come across them. I have a variety of stamps, dies and embellishments. My stamps and dies are all gently used and most were purchased within the last two years (although some may be “vintage”). Dies might be on magnet cards as I did not start saving the original packaging until just recently. Designer Series Paper and embellishments are new in unopened packages unless otherwise stated.
Due to Stampin’ Up! policies, I can only ship to U. S. addresses.
