This week we will be looking at some of the new products just released in the May-August 2026 Catalog by Stampin' Up! For today I've combined two bundles and some mix & match DSP to make this birthday card. I hope you like it and will give it a try. The rounded rectangle punch is a must have to add to any collection. You can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.
A place to share my love for paper crafting as an independent Stampin' Up!®️ Demonstrator.

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.

Just a note Springtime floral

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.

Birthday cake pop-up card, 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar
Hello everyone. Normally this blog would post on a Sunday morning; however, this would put my advent calendar out of order. I already have one post that way....so let's not do that again. I do have a YouTube video tutorial on how to make this card over on my channel. Today is day 3 and I've used the included stamp set and the contents of windows 1 & 2 on this card.

Inspirational Squad I believe in you dragon card
Hello everyone! A lot has happened since the last post. Stampin' Up! has begun a month-long sale for the 2025-2027 In Colors. Head on over to my online store to see what products are included in the sale. There are many you might not think of including some Paper Pumpkin refill kits! You will find the direct link to that page here: 2025-2027 In Color Sale. In addition, new products and additional discounts have been added to the Last Chance category in my online store. You can find those items here: Last Chance
Now that we have all that completed, let's get on to our project for today. I recently obtained the Inspiration Squad stamp set (of course, it's now on Last Chance at a discount for you!) and had to use it before it's no longer available. I recently read the Empyrean book series and the little dragon in this set reminds me of the dragon from the books. I imagined the little dragon in front of an arched stone wall surrounded by flowers. This card is the end result and I do love how it turned out, don't you?
To see the video tutorial on how to put this card together, fly on over to my YouTube channel.

Double Fold Over Flap Box Floral Tags to Go
I'm back today with yet another of the double fold flap boxes. This is another sized version of the previous ones I've shared. I made this one to fit a gift for my craft girlfriends who I'll be meeting with on Saturday this week. I like how quick and easy these boxes go together with minimal cutting. While I made a video using this, I showed how it fit Hersheys®️ Kisses rather than the actual gift I created it to fit. Be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel to see how it's put together along with some tips and tricks.

It's Your Day Coneflower mash -up card
Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. I have a fun project for you today mashing together two bundles to make this card. I hope you like it! To see the video tutorial, unfortunately, there are two parts as the internet provider has been having a few issues today keeping the internet up. I'm so sorry about that. You will find the Part 1 of the video on my YouTube channel here, and Part 2 can be found here. I don't know how to edit videos and anyway, it's real live filming so what can we do about that? I choose to just go with the flow.....

Hello all! I know I'm getting this post up a bit late, but things are a little chaotic at the moment. Hopefully, it will slip back into a normal rhythm soon. In the meantime, I made this card to show how versatile and useful the Extraordinary Flora bundle can be without using the coordinating washi tape and to show various techniques for easy coloring.

You’re the Best carved wood & watercoloring technique card
I found another technique I hadn’t heard about before and decided to give it a try. I watched Gina K Designs show the carved wood technique and thought I really needed to give it a try with some Stampin’ Up!®️ products. I hadn't used the Layered Florals 3D embossing folder and since it's on the last chance list at a discount, it's the perfect time to grab it if you overlooked it previously. When I saw this, I thought it would be perfect for wood carving. Be sure to watch the video tutorial to see all the techniques I shared on this project. You can see it on my YouTube channel.
