October join special; get a complete $99 crafting kit for just $35! Do not wait!

October 30, 2025

My Flowerbug’s Team has grown by well over 20 people this month! YAY! Lots of people have taken advantage of the unbelievable join special in October.

This join special is absolutely incredible and if you’ve ever considered getting the starter kit now is THE BEST TIME! There are just 2 days left so do not wait to take advantage of this deal.

You can choose either the $99 kit or the $35 kit. I recommend the $35 kit. This gives you more money to put towards your first order as a Demo.

With either choice you get $90 in free products! From then on you get 20-25% off all purchases from Stampin’ Up! as long as you stay active. Use this link to start your kit order. It’s really just an order; you can decide how long you want to stay in later. There’s no need to sell or hold classes; just enjoy the discount! However if you do want to earn some extra $$ I am happy to help you in any way.

More details:

You have through March to meet your first $300 quarterly minimum! (And all purchases will count towards that amount)
Add the November Online Exclusive products to your Starter Kit (you can see them when you’re picking out your kit products)
During your first six months you have the following opportunities:
- 1. Early access to the January–April 2026 Mini Catalog (PDF in November + preorder privileges).
- 2. Preorder access to the January Online Exclusives.
- 3. Early access to the 2026–2027 Annual Catalog and preorder opportunities.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let me tell you about this package deal. You can get the awesome 12 Days of Crafting kit with the join deal. This pretty box of products is valued at way over $100 and costs $99. But if you added it to your starter kit it costs just $35. And you still get to add $26 more in Stampin’ Up! products to get to the $125 amount! That’s crazy amazing.

You can see it here.

This beautiful kit includes 12 ‘windows’ filled with brand new Stampin’ UP! products plus two stamp sets as well! This calendar comes with a 24-piece stamp set and has 12 never-before-seen products including papers, embellishments, ephemera, tools, and more, all of which coordinate with one another! *you will need a cut & emboss machine

Bonus perk; everyone who orders it from me (and my Team of course) will receive a big PDF filled with multiple projects using these new products. I cannot wait to play with mine.

Beautiful swaps with NEW products!

May 21, 2026

We held out Team card swap Saturday and I want to share some of these awesome swaps they made. Our theme was to use new catalog products. This swap was ‘shoebox’ style so we made each other’s cards in person. I love shoebox swaps!

Tracey created this special card using the new Peaceful Pine in color. She paired it with Cloud Cover and Berry Burst here.

Save

Look at that stamped panel; it is NOT designer paper! She stamped it because she loves to create with our stamps. And she finds it fun to create unique color combos too. She used the stamps from the Boutique Blossoms bundle seen here.

Save

The Heirloom Boutique suite is one that Stampin’ Up! says will remain current for a year! I love knowing this; it helps when you join swaps and post projects for customers.

Save

Here I stamped the outline image in 1st generation ink and the inside of the flower and leaves in 2nd generation ink. *that means stamped off once.

A fabulous card Tracey!

And here is Lori’s neat pop-up fun fold card:

Save

It had three layered panels that pop up from the card front. Very cool!
It also features the Bloom Boutique suite seen here. It was hard to get a good photo of this fun fold card that she cased from Susan Campfield. The die-cuts on the front are cut from the new 2026-28 In Color Pearlized Specialty paper seen here.

Here are the measurements:

Card Base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″
Flaps – center is 3″ X 5 3/4″ score at 3/4″, 1 1/2″, 4 1/4″, 5″
top & bottom flaps 3/4″ X 5 3/4″ score at 3/4″, 1 1/2″, 4 1/4″, 5″
Inside panel of DSP 2 1/2″ X 5 1/4″
DSP – middle is 2 3/4″ X 2 1/2″, top & bottom 1/2″ X 2 1/2″, left & right 1/2″ X 5 1/4″, sides 1/2″ X 2 3/4″, corners 1/2″ square

What a special card she made!

Next is another special fancy fold card featuring the Bloom Boutique specialty designer paper; this one is created by Kim.

Save

She featured the All Aflutter punch bundle seen here. I’m so happy we have a new butterfly punch again!

Save

Her card is a spinner card using Baker’s Twine. It’s fun to set up a card like this so when the recipient removed the card from the envelope the circle spins. You simply wind it up before inserting it in your envelope. So cool!

We added stamped & punched butterflies all over this card; using the newest In Colors. The inside polka dot DSP panel is from the new Painted Patterns 12 X 12″ DSP seen here. It’s available in most of our color families!

Save

Before the string is added to the crease of the fold you’ll cut the larger circle from the front. She has so many layers on her card; it can be tricky to get the circle die-cut ‘cut’ through the layers. We ran it back and forth the Cut & Emboss machine but it did cut!

It’s an amazing card Kim!

Another way to feature your embossing folder…..

May 20, 2026

Yesterday I shared one way to use ink on an embossed layer. Today I’m sharing another.

Look closely at the card below. See how there are two different colors on this textured surface? I shared how to do this on last week’s video (see below).

Save

This is the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder seen here. It just ran out of stock and may be a month or more before it returns. Please add your email so you’re notified when it’s back.

Here’s how to do this: I inked the smoother side of my folder (the textured areas are recessed) with Hydrangea Hue ink. I then placed my CS on the opposite side of the folder, closed it and ran it through my Cut & Emboss Machine.
It leaves the raised areas with the original CS color and the rest darker. It’s truly beautiful.

Here are both cards; with the addition of Peaceful Pine:

Save

Simple & gorgeous! These cards will seem like you went above and beyond but they’re so simple!

I used the Classic Labels Mix & Match Ephemera for my greetings as well as the new stamp set called Scalloped Blooms seen here.

I also tried it with the Sunflower 3D embossing folder too.

Save

Below is the video tutorial where I share how to achieve this technique. I hope you watch it and try it!
