Spotlight on Nature – sneak peak of the fabulous new bundle

Look at the beautiful card my friend & team member Candy sent me last week.  One of our team challenges was to send RAK cards.  Random Acts of Kindness.  I was very grateful to receive one from her!

Save

It's made with a new bundle in the 2024-25 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!. It's called Spotlight on Nature.  It includes floral, leaves and butterflies along with pretty sentiments.  And an amazing set of detailed & texture circle dies.  

Notice her softly sponged background around the flowers & leaves. She used Balmy Blue, Old Olive & Calypso Coral here, coloring in her images with Blends markers.  Note that Olive circle die-cut – you can spy it in the photo below.  

We're going to love these dies!!

Demonstrators were able to pre-order this gorgeous bundle in April but everyone can order it after May 1st. In fact you could add it to your Starter kit too.

I'll be sharing more projects with this bundle soon. Thanks for the fabulous card Candy!!

• Freestyle Creativity with ephemera & leftovers!

  April 18, 2025

  ---

  Have you ever gathered some of your extra die-cuts and layers and just played?  We did this at my Team Meeting this weekend and they loved it!  

  I put out lots of extra die-cuts and layers plus the Fully Flowering and Greetings for All ephemera plus the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes and they had fun making their style of cards.  These are mine:

  Here are each of them below.  The left two include some ephemera and the right two feature dies and greetings I had on hand. 

  Save

  I found that layering dies and ephemera onto another layer like the white die-cut above or the Lemon Lolly & Black DSP layers below helps anchor them. 

   

  Save

  The colors in the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes are Balmy Blue & Bubble Bath.  Nice soft colors you can accent easily.

  See these pretty cards & envelopes here.

  The cards above & below feature a bunch of dies I had on hand. Above includes Basic Beige and Gold. 

  The card below includes Basic Gray & Pretty Peacock.

  I hope you're encouraged to try making cards using your leftovers.

• 3 new kits by Stampin’ Up! now available in the store

  April 17, 2025

  ---

  Stampin' Up! released 3 new kits in their substantial Kit Collection this month.  Two are cards and one is a beautiful bouquet of paper flowers.  

  Save

  You can find each of these kits and many more on this link.  Even though I am an experienced crafter I love working with kits.  It's a lovely break from thinking and planning.  But if I want to be creative I can still jazz up the kits. 

  Save

  My favorite is the Paper Bouquet kit.  I ordered two – one for my daughter for Mother's Day.  What a perfect gift!
