I just returned from Raleigh, North Carolina, where I attended Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage event, an annual gathering designed for Stampin’ Up! demonstrators. We received a copy of the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog (available for ordering May 6), saw stamping presentations, celebrated achievements, stamped a little, and gathered with friends from throughout the United States.
We also swapped our handmade greeting cards. I made 25 for an event and received 25 in return. Watch this video to see the cards I received.
Today, I share the card I created for the swap. This card features Stampin’ Up!’s Mixed Florals Photopolymer Stamp Set. Find it as one of the Online Exclusives.
Measurements and Details
Basic Black Card Stock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
Basic Black Card Stock panel measuring 4 3/4 x 3 1/2, die cut with the Perennial Postage Dies
Heat embossed the tulip image from the Mixed Florals Photopolymer Stamp Set with white on the above panel, as well as the sentiment (from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set).

I just love how this card turned out, and I hope you do, too.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog today. Please let me know if you have questions about this project or any other rubber stamping card projects. I can’t wait to help you in your paper crafting journey.
