I did have trouble getting a good photo of the actual colors on this one.  I added Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon and Champagne rhinestones to this one. I cannot resist adding these when I can.  They're beautiful!

• New Catalog sneak peak inspired by a fun sketch

  April 10, 2025

  ---

  Today I'm sharing a sneak peek of new products from the upcoming 2025 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!  

  Save

  I chose the Florals in Bloom designer paper and the Impressions Abloom stamp set plus new gems too!  My colors include Petunia Pop and Secret Sea plus white.  

  This layout was inspired by the following sketch.  I absolutely love using sketches for my inspiration.  I knew I wanted to feature the DSP but wasn't sure of my plan. This sketch fit the bill perfectly! 

  I made another pretty card that's totally different with this same sketch.  See it here.  

  Save

  As you can see I did not follow it exactly.  My DSP measures 2 3/4" X 4" and 2 1/4" X 3".  The diagonal layer (secret sea) is 1 1/8" wide.  

  The stamped greetings are from the 'The Right Words' stamp set.  One of my new favorite greeting sets.  You're going to love it! 

  Save

  I'll share another card featuring new products tomorrow.

• Stunning guy cards in a pre-cut kit to go; limited quantity!

  April 9, 2025

  ---

  I have a few of these wood textures guy card kits left in my shop.  They're filled with wood accents and textures. 

  Save

  I started with a Paper Pumpkin kit from last year and jazzed it up with extra cards, envelopes and layers.  

  It features 12 cards with envelopes all with woodgrain paper patterns. It includes pre-cut cards, Linen Thread and all the elements you see here. You'll need a few inks, greeting images, adhesives and a paper trimmer to cut a few card bases down. 

  Reserve yours soon; I have a limited quantity of these!

  The PDF tutorial will be send to you immediately after purchase. The card kit will be sent a few days afterwards, unless it's combined with an April kit. Then they'll ship out together at the end of April. 

  Here's a link to the kit; it's $30 plus shipping. Combine it with any other kit and save on shipping costs!

• 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!  

  Save

  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.
