This week I will be focused on showing you sneak peek projects made with items from the soon-to-be-released May-Aug 2026 catalog and Online Exclusives. Today's projects are focused solely on items from the upcoming catalog. I've used the new 2026-2028 In Colors, the April POTM (product of the month) and bundles from the catalog. I hope you enjoy this little sneak peek and are inspired to add these products to your wish list if you haven't already. There is a video tutorial over on my YouTube for my projects and you can access that by clicking on this link.
A place to share my love for paper crafting as an independent Stampin' Up!®️ Demonstrator.

Healing Hugs Filled with Sweetness box & coordinating card
Today I have a box to give to someone who's feeling a little under the weather, along with a coordinating card in case boxes aren't your thing. I've combined a current product the Homemade Sweetness suite collection and a brand new sneak peek at product coming on May 5, 2026, from the Silly Old Bear suite collection. Unfortunately, due to copyright laws, it is only available to customers in the United States. You could use whatever you already have on hand to substitute instead of the Pooh bear such as the Woolly Friends or Cutest Crew.

You're the sweetest fruit fun fold card
Today is part two of the continuation of Wednesday's post and the Homemade Sweetness suite of products. The coordinating card uses much the same supplies as we used previously but also adds the April product of the month (POTM) as a little surprise element. You will find the video tutorial for both projects over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

You're the sweetest magnetic bookmark
My project today coordinates with the project will see here on my blog on Saturday. I've made a magnetic bookmark for today's project and I've primarily used the Made with Sweetness bundle by Stampin' Up! I did throw in some additional products as well. I hope you like this quick and easy little bookmark. It makes a great gift to throw in a coordinating card. You can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

Sending Heartfelt Sympathy mash-up card
Today I have a sympathy card for you. I've tried to combine some last chance items with Product of the Month and current products. If you know me at all, I love to mash up stamps and dies that weren't necessarily expected to go together. You get such unique cards when you do that. I wanted to convey a sense of peace with this card. You can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

Thinking of You floral with 2026-2028 In Colors
Hello everyone. We have had some beautifully sunny days here in the Pacific northwest this past week. It's been so nice to sit outside on the deck and feel the warmth of the sun on my skin....not for too long of course. I'm primarily a shade girl!
For today's project I'm combining one of my favorite last chance stamp & die sets along with Delicate Dreams paper and the brand new 2026-2028 In Colors, so something old, something new and something not quite released to the public. The In Colors will go live to the general public on May 5, 2026, and be available for two years which also means we will be retiring the 2024-2026 In Colors at the same time. To see how I've put this card together, be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

Celebrating You with Joyful Squares
For my card today I've tried to focus on the Joyful Squares bundle and the Square Snippets Designer Series Paper. Both are so good and really didn't get their time in the spotlight. I barely had received them when they put on the last chance list. I do so love all the different patterns there are in the DSP. You get 3 sheets each of four double-side designs. The back sides of the paper are not squares and the pattern is very subtle, while you get so many squares on the front side. There are two designs with 4" squares and two designs with 3" squares. I love how you can mix and match them, it's so much fun and there are a lot of possibilities! To watch the YouTube video tutorial on how I put this card together, click this link.

Swirled Designs fun fold You can do amazing things
For my projects this week I plan to feature items that are currently on the last chance list and only available while supplies last. We are going to start with Swirled Designs. There is a stamp set and coordinating dies. It is currently less expensive to buy them individually. I hope you like this little look at some discounted items.

Just a note Springtime floral
Today I'm continuing on with my featured product of Springtime Scenes. I've mashed together several items you many already own, along with some new ones. I hope you enjoy this presentation. You can watch the video tutorial on how to put it together over on my YouTube channel by by clicking this link. To be honest, I had completely forgotten about the frames in the Gallery Blooms dies. I'm so glad I rediscovered them this week. They are on the last chance list and discounted, so if you want them, don't wait because once they're gone, they're gone for good.
