I used the Stampin’ Up! Thankful Garden stamp set from the new Online Exclusives to create a thank you card to share with you today. I also did a video tutorial showing you how to create this on my YouTube channel here.
My card design was inspired by CAS On Friday Sketch Challenge #303.
My card works for the theme challenge from The Paper Players PP727.
I started by adhering a panel of patterned paper from the Lovely Garden DSP (Online Exclusive item) to the front of a Fresh Freesia card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Then I snipped banner ends in strips of Lovely Garden DSP and then adhered the strips to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.
I cut a panel of Lovely Garden DSP with the tag die from the Merriest Trees Dies and then adhered the die cut to the card front with Stampin’ Seal. I tied a bow with Fresh Freesia 1/8″ Faux Velvet Trim and then adhered it to the card front with a Mini Glue Dot. I cut a panel of Garden Green card stock two times with the greenery die from the Thankful Garden Dies (Online Exclusive item) and then adhered the die cuts to the card front with Mini Glue Dots.
I stamped the sentiments from the Thankful Garden photopolymer stamp set (Online Exclusive item) in VersaMark ink on a panel of Fresh Freesia card stock, sprinkled it with black embossing powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powder and then heat embossed it. I cut the sentiment out with one of the Spotlight On Nature Dies and then adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered three Starburst Sequins (Online Exclusive item) to finish the card front.
I adhered a strip of Lovely Garden DSP to the bottom of the Basic White card to finish the inside of the card.

Cardstock Price Increases In The New 2025-2026 Annual Catalog
Stampin’ Up! shared the following update with Demonstrators:
In light of steadily increasing production costs, we’ve made a few updates to our cardstock offerings.
WHY THE CHANGE?
Over the years, Stampin’ Up! has worked diligently to manage rising costs while balancing high-quality standards and remaining competitive in the market. The costs for raw materials and production have continued to climb, and only a select few mills around the world are qualified to produce our heavyweight, dyed-through cardstock, ensuring it meets our color and quality standards.
WHAT’S CHANGING?
- 8-1/2″ x 11″ cardstock:
- All single-color cardstock packages will now contain 24 sheets (including Basic White and Very Vanilla).
- Assortments will contain 20 sheets.
- Prices will be $14 for both single-color and assortment packs.
- 8-1/2″ x 11″ Thick Basic Cardstock will be discontinued, Thick Basic White Cardstock will be available in 12″ x 12″ packs beginning with the new Annual Catalog in early May.
- 12″ x 12″ cardstock:
- Our heavyweight, dyed-through cardstock and Basic White Thick Cardstock packages will contain 24 sheets.
- 12″ x 12″ dyed cardstock will be $22.
- 12″ x 12″ Basic White Thick Cardstock will be $26
- We’re also expanding our 12″ x 12″ offerings with Two-Tone cardstock available in single-color packages in all colors.
- We will no longer offer 12″ x 12″ dyed cardstock in assortments but will continue to provide 12″ x 12″ Two-Tone assortments that coordinate with our Designer Series Paper & Sticker Sheets.
- OTHER PRODUCT UPDATES:
- Pricing and configuration for our 12″ x 12″ Two-Tone cardstocks and White Willow 12″ x 12″ Cardstock remain unchanged.
- In addition to the changes mentioned above, you will notice a handful of other price increases, which are typical in a new catalog.

oh, love that DSP and that shade of purple is perfect with it
Thanks Sandi! 🙂
Amy, this is gorgeous! I love that beautiful DSP for your tag. The color combo is so pretty! Thank you for making my challenge shine this week at The Paper Players!
Thanks for stopping by to leave a comment! 🙂
This is so fresh and pretty! I think the colours you’ve picked are wonderful. I did not get the DSP, only the bundle and am beginning to think I need reconsider that decision as you’ve shown me just how nice the papers are. Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Players.
