My featured product this week is the Bordered in Beauty bundle by Stampin' Up! I love how many dies you get and how much die coordination is between the stamps and dies! I was pleasantly surprised on just how versatile that makes this bundle. With 17 dies making various borders & tags, I absolutely love this set and think it should be a staple in your collection. For my first card, I added in All Aflutter as I just had to use the butterflies from both sets together. I came up with this card and love how easy it was to adapt the die to cut the edged border.

A place to share my love for paper crafting as an independent Stampin' Up!®️ Demonstrator.

Thinking of You with Berry Botanical Vellum
Today's project combines the May 2026 product of the month Berry Botanical Vellum with one of the new bundles from the May-August 2026 catalog. I do love how easily this one came together. I was a little hesitant to order the vellum dsp this month as I generally have a hard time using it. Once I sat down to work with it, it was pretty easy to use and the ideas just seem to flow. I intended to just make one for today, but I ended up making two just to give all of you some ideas on how to put some cards together with it pretty quickly and without much added to it.

You're a blessing sketched designs
For my second card this week, I've chosen to use the Artisan Sketched Garden dsp for my focal image and brought in some awesome new scalloped dies coming out on the 5th of May. I've paired it again with the April POTM Eyelet Blooms dies and used the die for it's intended use and as an embossed piece.

You're the sweetest fruit fun fold card

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.

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.

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.
