Sneak Peek of new products with a sketch for inspiration

October 27, 2025

On last week’s video I shared three cards featuring a new designer paper coming out in November. It’s called Brushed with Beauty.

My colors include Very Vanilla, Mossy Meadow & Calypso Coral. The stamp & dies bundle is called Words of Beauty and is part of the Brushed with Beauty suite. Demonstrators (& new team members) are able to order it early but you can see and order these new products on November 4th. They’re part of our Online Exclusives – new products released every other month.

This layout was inspired by a sketch. Every month my Flowerbug’s have a creative challenge involving sketches or a color combo. This will be our November sketch inspiration. Sketches are a fabulous start to creating a card or scrapbook page. And they’re just an inspiration. As you can see I did not use a circle but the die from the Label Me Grateful dies seen here. I also flipped the center rectangle on it’s side.

The Words of Beauty bundle will be a great option for greeting phrases. It includes two large sets of dies with the words ‘just’ and ‘because’ and then plenty of words to create your greeting. Plus the die I used with the word ‘because’ below is one of three in the package.

You’ll notice the new packaging in the photo below. All new stamps & dies will be in these envelopes. Also all new stamps will be clear photopolymer and not red rubber.

Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here to print or download it. Did you know I have a category at the top of my blog where you can see lots of these? They’re great inspiration and include many fun fold cards.

I hope you’ll try this sketch layout. It’s a fun one! When you do, please share your project in my FB group here. We love seeing what everyone makes!

Below is the video for this card and two more – all featuring new & upcoming Stampin’ Up! products!

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.

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.

Save

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

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.

Save

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!
