• Heads up! Card stock prices are rising in the upcoming 2025-26 Annual Catalog

  April 8, 2025

  ---

  Everything seems to be rising in cost these days and unfortunately Stampin' Up! is experiencing this as well.  Mill prices have risen quite a bit so the price for our solid core card stock is going up in the new 2025 Annual Catalog.  

  I know it's upsetting to hear this but it is understandable. I want Stampin' Up! to stay in business and continue to offer us high quality card stock & other products.  Solid core CS does cost more than white core to produce and many mills do not produce it. Our card stock is among the best in the paper crafting world!  

  

  So my advice to you is to stock up on your favorite colors or any that you use a lot.  The price change goes into effect in early May.  Here's a link to our beautiful card stock.  

  Luckily this is the only thing that we'll see a major price change in the upcoming new catalog. Yay!  It's easy to be negative about this but I have complete faith that Stampin' Up! does their best to keep prices as low as possible for us.

• Pretty Daisy Daydream card & sneak peek of upcoming Paper Pumpkin kits

  April 7, 2025

  ---

  I created this beautiful card using the March Daisy Daydream Paper Pumpkin kit. It's one of my alternatives made with items in the kit. 

  

  I used the card base and the stamp set but added a few other items such as:

  • Perennial Postage die-cut that I sponged the edges on
  • leaves die-cuts from the Cheerful Daisy dies
  • Daffodil Delight ribbon (adhered loops to the back)
  • a Mossy Meadow layer
  • Adhesive-Backed Metallic gems 

  Each month all of my Paper Pumpkin customers (and team members) receive a free tutorial filled with alternative ideas. It's really fun to receive a kit each month and start playing with the items in the box.  

  Go here to subscribe to receive a box each month. You can manage which kits you'll receive – skipping or adding an extra.  

  Here is a sneak peek of the next three months of Paper Pumpkin: 

  

  And there is an add on just for PP subscribers called Hugs Abloom dies seen here.  This set of dies will work with each of the upcoming 3 months of kits! 

  

  Starting April 15th you'll now earn rewards on your Paper Pumpkin kits!  Host rewards are changing so all orders over $20 earn rewards!  Here's a graph to explain:

  Type	Duration	Price*	Rewards** Earned
  Pay-as-you-go	Monthly	$27.00 USD	$2.00 USD
  Prepaid Subscription	3-Month	$81.00 USD	$6.00 USD
  Prepaid Subscription	6-Month	$162.00 USD	$12.00 USD
  Prepaid Subscription	12-Month	$324.00 USD	$24.00 USD

• Timeless Plaid card kit for great men’s card ideas. Reserve yours now!

  April 4, 2025

  ---

  If you're like me you tend to make more cards for the gals than the guys. So I thought I'd focus on men's cards for one of my kits & tutorials in April.  I chose to feature the Timeless Plaid designer series paper for these terrific cards. 

  

  Aren't these great card ideas?  Many are fancy fold cards and perfect for the men in your life. The color combinations with the plaid DSP are quite eye catching. 

  You have a few options here:  Choose the pre-cut kit or the PDF tutorial. 

  This card kit includes the following items:

  • the pre-cut card kit including punched and die-cut elements
  • 1/2 pkg Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper (6" X 6")
  • a share of the Faux Glass Dots
  • a share of Linen Thread
  • the PDF tutorial with photos, measurements, a supply list and step by step directions.

  The PDF tutorial is $16 and can be seen here.  The pre-cut kit is $31 and is seen here. 

  Reserve yours soon! The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after purchase. The kit is sent out at the end of April barring inventory/supply issues. 

  For the kit to go you'll need greeting images (I used With You in Mind and Unbounded Love sets but any will work), adhesives, inks and a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper. 

  I have multiple kits and tutorials available on my shop here.  Check them out!
