May 1, 2026

Kim made this amazing card for our April Team swap:

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

One more Petal Park and Kind & Sincere sneak peek card

December 30, 2022
There are still lots of bargains on the Clearance Rack and Last Chance list. Click on the pictures below to see them all. Remember they're while supplies last! Be sure to use this host code when you order: QFTB9AST

Yesterday I shared a card seen here made with these two new products and today I'm sharing another one. I found it easy to create with the Petal Park bundle and the Kind & Sincere stamp set. They're coming out in the upcoming 2023 Spring Catalog by Stampin' Up!. I love them both!

Details:
- I stamped the 'Thanks' greeting on the White panel before I textured it with the new Cane Weave 3D embossing folder.
- The flowers are stamped in Petal Pink and Night of Navy. The leaves are fussy cut.
- The 'for everything' greeting is stamped and die-cut with the new Something Fancy dies
- The Soft Sea Foam green card base is 4 1/4" X 11" and scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"
- The white panel is 4 1/4" X 2 3/4"; the Navy is 4 1/2" X 3".
- The Petal Pink layer is 2 1/2" X 4". I used the outline leaf image to stamp a background using Petal Pink ink.
I think I'll get a lot of use of the Kind & Sincere stamp set. I love that you can create your own greetings by putting together the large cursive words with the smaller printed words. So versatile!

Here are the 22 swaps I made. The two main colors are soft & fresh yet the addition of Navy brings it all together & makes it pop. I feel like Navy is slightly softer than Black, which is another of my favorite ways to add a depth of color.

Thanks for reading up to this point; I hope you're excited about the upcoming Spring catalog. It's filled with all kinds of fresh, new products!

**If you don't have a local demonstrator I'm happy to send you the new 2023 Spring & Sale-a-Bration catalogs for $5. If you've ordered from me in the past year; I'll send them to you free.

Petal Park Sneak Peak from the Spring Catalog

December 29, 2022
This week I've been sharing some of the cards I made for online swaps I joined. I hope you're enjoying the sneak peaks!

Today I'm sharing a card made with a new stamp & punch bundle called Petal Park. It includes a new flower trio punch from the Spring catalog.

I chose to use the new Regency Park 6 X 6" designer paper; that's where I got the color combination of Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Mango Melody. I love them together!

Measurements:
- The card base is 7 1/2" X 5 1/2". (I cut off 1" from a traditional 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base)
- The designer paper is 1" X 5 1/4" on the inside right edge.
- white panel is 2 3/4" X 3 3/4"
- Navy is 3" X 4" and the Mango strip is 1" X 4".
- The slanted die-cut greeting is from the Something Fancy dies
In the stamp set there are two sets of flowers – solid and outline. Plus two sets of leave images as well; outline and solid. I used both of the flower images, stamping them in Mango Melody & Balmy Blue. Then just the outline leaves for a lighter background. I did add some of the small dots in Mango all over the flowers & leaves.

I curled the petals after punching so they had a bit more dimension to them. I added pearls to the centers.

The greetings are from another new stamp set called Kind & Sincere. It has both large and small greetings so you can mix & match your words. I love this one!

Stay tuned for another sneak peak tomorrow!

Thanks a Bunch; a sneak peak of Sale-a-Bration

December 28, 2022

I joined several online swaps and challenged myself to play with the new Sale-a-Bration stamp set called 'Looking At You'. It's all about carrots!

Here's what I came up with:

I paired it with the new Sale-a-Bration paper called Dandy Designs. It's 12 X 12" and has 48 sheets. It's free with a $100 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion; January 5th – February 28th.

When figuring out my card swap I came up with two different cards. The left card is simple but shows off the images and DSP. The card below on the right is a fun fold card.

The center panel on the right card above and the card below slides up and down; I call it a Vertical Slider card. It's not attached to anything but 'catches' on both sides of the center gatefold design with three circles or squares adhered to the back. It's so easy! Here's a link to the video on how to make it.

I decided to fussy cut one carrot on each card and pop it up with Stampin' Dimensionals. It took a little time to do 22 of them, but worth it in my opinion.

Here's a photo of all 22 cards I made for my swap. I love the colors for the carrots – Mango Melody & Granny Apple Green – I think they're perfect for them.

You can earn this stamp set free during Sale-a-Bration – January 5th – February 28th. Any $50 order and it's yours! Stay tuned for more sneak peaks this week.

Below is a video tutorial with another version of the vertical slider card:
