As you can see I used many of the fun die-cuts includes as well as a few stamps. I did heat emboss the greeting with White embossing powder. Heat embossing adds a special touch to cards in my opinion.
My colors include the new Summer Splash with Melon Mambo & White.

She combined new and current products for this beautiful card cased from Karen Hadler. That beautiful textured flower is from an upcoming bundle called Opulent Oasis. It includes a new die that textures; it’s called Textured Impression dies. I’ll share more details on this new product soon. It will be released on May 5th in the 2026 May-August catalog.
The designer paper is called Lovely & Beautiful and can be seen here. The pretty leaf die-cut is from the Nature’s Symphony dies. Here’s how it looks once opened:
So many layers!! The card stock colors include Old Olive, Petal Pink and Fresh Freesia.
Measurements:
– Olive card base 11″ X 4 1/4″ score at 2 3/4″ & 5 1/2″, second piece – 9″ X 3 34″ scored at 3″ & 6″ – Petal Pink layers 2 1/2″ X 4″ and 5 1/4″ X 4″ on the large piece. 3 pieces at 2 3/4″ X 3 1/2″ on the shorter piece – DSP 1 1/4″ X 3 3/4″ and 5″ X 3 3/4″ on the large piece. 2 pieces at 2 1/2″ X 3 1/4″ on the shorter piece – Fresh Freesia 2 1/2″ X 3 1/4″
She used the Nature’s Symphony stamp set and the Nature’s Walk designer paper here. I love the layout so much! Adding your greeting strip across the front is a fantastic way to break up the large layers. Her colors include Pretty Peacock and White.
Measurements are as follows:
– Cloud Cover card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″ – Pretty Peacock large layer 5 3/8″ X 4 3/8″, small layer 3″ X 4 1/4″, strip 4 1/8″ X 1″, inside is 4 1/8″ X 5 3/8″ – White 2 3/4″ X 4″, inside 4″ X 5 1/4″ – DSP 4″ X 5 1/4″
She used the Floral Charm designer paper. Actually it’s just one sheet and measured 3″ X 4″ before she tore it. The technique she used is called ‘Rip & Flip’. You tear the lower half off and flip it to reveal the other side. Slide the torn piece under the upper portion to hide the ‘cut’ side. So cool!
Look at the ribbon above the greeting circle. She formed loops of Berry Burst 1/4″ shiny ribbon and adhered it underneath the flowers and greeting. So smart and unique! The colored and die-cut flowers are from the Extraordinary Flora bundle seen here.
Measurements:
– Pretty Peacock card base 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″ – Berry Burst 4 1/4″ X 3 1/4″ – DSP 4″ X 3″ – White circle die-cut
Lastly is Candy’s card featuring the Nature’s Symphony stamp set with a neat technique:
She cased this technique from Kim Quade. She created a window with the Stylish Shapes dies and another piece of paper. She used Blending Brushes inside the window for the soft, multicolored look and stamped the leaves before removing her mask.
Her ink colors include Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight and Fresh Freesia. She stamped the images with Secret Sea. Beautifully done!
New Catalog Open House & BOGO is Saturday! NEW product shares are up!
I hold an Open House event with each new catalog release by Stampin’ Up! It’s a wonderful time to gather my friends and customers together and to get the new catalog in their hands. They’re always excited about these because I make a BIG DEAL over the event.
I love to show off our new products with displays and samples. I gather door prizes, free cards to give with orders, door prizes and an array of yummy food.
It’s Saturday at my home studio from 11:30 – 1:30 pm and will include a BOGO this time.
It shocks most people when they hear this, but I do not keep any of my Stampin’ Up! products from year to year. I just don’t have time to use it. So I price my retired products and put them in my garage for the sale. For each dollar you spend on my retired products you can pick out NEW items for free! Basically they are getting either one for FREE. It’s a wonderful deal for them and I can clear out my stash to make room for more. Win, win!!
If you’re near me in Minot, ND I hope you’ll come to the event. Even though I hold multiple card clubs each month I have lots of customers I only see a few times a year. It’s so neat to watch my gals gather together & catch up. I love it!
I’m also offering my Designer Paper and Embellishment shares to locals and long distance customers!
I know many who like to get a sampling of everything so they know what they want to order more of. It’s a great way to go. There’s nothing like seeing the new products in person!
