2 more great card ideas with the Basic Border dies!


Before you get to the projects today I want to let everyone know about the current shipping delays. Stampin' Up! had their highest sales day ever on April 4th – by almost 20 times the average!  Wow!  They are quite behind and have added extra staff and longer hours to get caught up.  So if you're wondering where your order is, it's coming….it will just be about 8-10 days longer than normal.

This week I'm sharing our April card swaps from my Flowerbug's team. It's so fun to see what they make; everyone has their own unique style.  I LOVE swapping with them!  

Annette chose the Beside Me stamp set for her card. She is a master at coloring and sponging.  

Her colors include Blueberry Bushel, Basic White & Black. The Blueberry Bushel layer is textured with the Timeworn Type folder; the greeting die-cut is from the Stylish Shapes dies. 

She cut two curves for her card; one with the Basic White layer and another with a Black layer.  She colored the image in with Blends markers.

Next is a neat card made by Karen who also used the Basic Border dies seen here.  

She used the die to cut off the edge of her card and then used that second piece to create a 'vertical window' for her By the Bay specialty designer paper. This pretty paper is discounted on the Last Chance List.  See it here. 

Her greeting and die-cut layers are from the Something Fancy bundle in the Spring catalog.  It will be in the new Annual catalog but no longer as a bundle at 10% off. 

See the Basic Border dies here:  I love these dies; they're so versatile.  Luckily they are carrying over into the new Annual catalog.

  • A new catalog sneak peek!


    I’ve joined a ton of swaps to get lots of samples for my upcoming New Catalog Open House party on May 2nd. If you’re local stop in between 11:30-1:30 pm that day at my home studio.

    Here’s one of the swaps I made:

    It is made with the Opulent Oasis bundle. This bundle will be available to order on May 5th.

    My colors include Pool Party, Petal Pink and the new Crisp Cantaloupe (card base). I love the colors together! Can you tell there’s a hint of White on some of the raised texture? I rubbed my Craft White ink pad over the surface afterwards.

    Notice that big textured floral element – that is made with something brand new, called Impressions dies.

    Here’s how you use them: I used the die first to cut out the flower like usual. It did not have the deep impression in it with the first cut. Then I put in in the Cut & Emboss machine again with the same die but this time added the new Impressions mat. This floppy, stretchy mat pushes the card stock into the die and gives that deep texture. So cool! I’ve heard you can use other ‘non-impression’ dies with this mat too!

    There are a few new & exciting impression dies coming out in the new catalog on May 5th.

    I hope you’re getting excited about all of the new products that are coming to you in this fabulous new catalog. I know you’ll love it.

  • NEW color & bundle in this fun fold card with free project sheet & video


    One of my favorite new In Colors is Hydrangea Hue and pairing it with the new All Aflutter bundle was a perfect match-up!

    There are 5 new products featured on this card; all from the upcoming 2026 May-August catalog.

    – All Aflutter stamp & punch bundle
    – Hydrangea Hue ink and card stock
    – 2026-28 In Color printed DSP
    – Fern & Flora 3D embossing folder
    – Hydrangea Hue 3/8″ ribbon

    These products are available to Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators right now (pre-order period) but customers can start purchasing them on May 5th! That’s when the new 2026 May – August catalog debuts. Start your ‘wishlist’!

    This new All Aflutter bundle is a BIG favorite of mine; I love the coordinating butterfly images and that punch.

    This card is a fun fold layout. Can you see the separation between the White layer and the DSP under it? The textured layer is adhered to just the left side of the card front which leaves an area to slide the right side of the White CS between the layers. It’s so cool!

    I created a free project sheet with measurements for this card. Click here to print or download it.

    It’s so easy to make but you’ll want to watch the video tutorial below will help you understand it.
