3 Fun Projects & Video with the Circle Celebration stamp set


I tried not to order the Circle Celebration stamp set but it kept calling out 'Order me!'  So I caved….and am so glad I did!  The images seem like they're almost 'retro' style which I love.  I do enjoy creating my own stamped background and these are perfect for that.  

Today I'm focusing on the cards on the right.  I made them with the Bokeh technique.  It's so fun and almost 3D in appearance.  

You start out with a sponged background. I used our new Blending Brushes that are awesome! They are currently out of stocks but should be back at the end of March.

Randomly sponge ink colors onto our Basic White CS.  Choose colors that somewhat coordinate if possible.  this can be difficult for some who struggle with color combos. I choose colors that when mixed do not make mud.  How do I know which colors don't mix?  Trial and error of course!  Here I used Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape.  Aren't these colors gorgeous together?!!!

*Another combo I might pick are yellows, oranges & reds.  Or greens & blues!  

Once you're done you add sponged circles using White Craft ink.  I made my own stencils by punching circles out of card stock.  I share tips on using and re-inking our White Craft ink in the video below.

The greeting is from the Best Year stamp set in the Annual Catalog and the butterflies AND white dotted die-cut 'holes' are from the new Brilliant Wings bundle seen here.

Here is the video; I hope you watch it to see how to make these fun projects!

  • Check out these cards made with the new Paper Tag bundle


    I was thrilled to get this cute card in my swaps at the Disney trip. It's made by Kylie Henshaw from the UK. 

    She used an embossing technique here; sponging colors on the white card stock first and then stamping and heat embossing the image in Black embossing powder.  What a fun card!  The bundle used here is the Paper Tags bundle seen below. 

    This next card was made by Sara, the CEO of Stampin' Up!

    This card was attached to this neat tote (seen below) that was one of our extra gifts on our Disney trip.  The colors include Pool Party, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Strawberry Slush ribbon. The die-cut and greeting are from the Paper Tags bundle seen here.  

    The tote was filled with lots of snacks and beverages. But you know how cats are with boxes or totes!  At the first opportunity Sadie jumped in and claimed it.

  • Adorable Poppin’ By card swaps


    Today I'm sharing 3 adorable cards made with the Poppin' By bundle from our latest Online Exclusive release.  

    Candace made this amazing fun fold card for our May team swap: 

    She folded her card front into a box and added lots of sponged popcorn and the cute box on the lower front.  Note his sunglasses & shoes!  They're part of the stamps & dies bundle. The corrugated card stock on the front mimics a box so well.  

    Do you see the window sheet strips on the two pieces of popcorn coming out of the box? They flutter when you move the card. She also added a 'wobble' to the top piece of popcorn.  Love this so much!  

    Here's the Poppin' By bundle – stamp set & dies.  So cute! See it here: 

    I received a few cute popcorn cards with my Disney swaps.  

    This first one is made by Marcia Besecker.  She added so much detail to her card!  

    Lots of texture and fun details on this one!

    Next is an adorable swap card made by Amy Storie.  I love her choice of colors and the fun accents she added to her card. 

    This bundle is super cute don't you think?

  • Sneak Peek’s of upcoming products plus swaps!


    Today I'm sharing swaps from the 2025 Stampin' Up! incentive trip to Orlando, FL.  And, are you ready for some sneak peeks of upcoming products?

    Here are the display boards for our card swaps.  We had the choice to participate or not and if we did we could make cards or 3d items.  Cards were 26 count.  I'll share mine soon. 


    Next is an upcoming kit you'll see in June from our Kit collection. Guess what!?  It's a scrapbook kit!!  I've been begging for this for years!  

    The photo above shows both cards and scrapbook pages made with this upcoming kit.  It will be available on June 3rd. 

    ~~~

    Next is a new set of products we'll see in the Holiday catalog in September.  Designer paper, coordinating cards & envelopes and a set of greetings ephemera in gold foil.  These items will definitely be the featured product in one of my kits to go this fall. 

    And look a this pretty designer paper and stamp & die bundle! It will also be featured in the upcoming Holiday catalog in September. 

    I'm excited about this bundle because my friend Susie and I are sharing our products so we can both make samples.

    Next you'll see the Perfectly Pears suite on a display board.  These pretty products will be one of our new Online Exclusives seen in July.  

    Demonstrators will be able to pre-order it in June so you'll likely see projects shared with it very soon! 

    ~~~

    We had to stop in the M & M store in Disney Springs. 

    I could not resist taking a photo of all of these colors of M & M's!!  Color is my jam! I could have stared at them for a long time! 

    Disclaimer: Less than 1% of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators earn the incentive trip.
