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.

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.
