This week I will be focusing on new products just released by Stampin' Up! For today I've decided to use the Silly Old Bear suite collection which is part of the May 2026 Online Exclusives release. I've used my favorite image along with my favorite sentiment and made this easy fun fold card. I hope you are inspired to make a fun fold with products you have in your stash. If you want or need to add to it, you can shop my online store by clicking on the shopping cart to the right. To watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel, click this link.
A place to share my love for paper crafting as an independent Stampin' Up!®️ Demonstrator.

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.

You're gold pop-out diamond fun fold card
I've made another pop-out diamond fun fold card for you today. I love this fold, it looks like it should be so hard but comes together so easily! It adds an additional wow factor to your handmade card. I wanted to showcase the Good Luck stamp set as Stampin' Up! rarely gives us a stamp set for St. Patrick's Day. I suggest you get it as soon as possible before it sales out. Once Valentine's Day is over, it will start to sell quickly.

Snowy Woodland Scenery Winter Wishes
I’ve really loved working with the Woodland Scenery stamp set this week. It makes such beautiful cards without a lot of effort, especially when paired with the Lights of Aurora Designer Series Paper which is stunning on its own. With the northern lights popping in this week in the continental part of the US, it’s especially fitting.

Woodland Scenery ornament gift storage box 2025
For today, I've created a gift storage box to hold the ornament I posted on Wednesday this week. You will want to check that out if you haven't already seen it. I've designed this clamshell box with reinforced sides on the top and bottom so that it won't crush as easily for you to be able to store the ornament, as well as use as gift packaging. The box is sized to fit a gift card as well. You can watch the video tutorial for both projects over on my YouTube channel by clicking on this link.

Noel Clamshell treat box using the Festive Friends tag
Hello everyone! I'm so glad you've joined me today for this very cute clamshell treat box featuring Festive Friends by Stampin' Up! Treat boxes and bags are my favorite projects to create, so as soon as I saw this bundle had a tag large enough to make a box, I knew it had to be done. It doesn't take a lot of supplies, as I ink blended the background to set the scene for my little elf.

Sunflower Love & Courage Making a Difference card tutorial
For my project today, I wanted to make a card using the Love & Courage stamp set and pair it with the Sunflower 3D embossing folder. I used an ink blending technique to ink my focal background. The sentiment uses a colored ink embossing powder technique. I hope you are inspired to make some cards of encouragement for those in your life that are fighting the battle, not just breast cancer, with any cancer. Change up the colors to suit your needs. This is an important fight and most of know someone who is currently struggling with it or has fought the fight already. $3 of every stamp set purchased in my Stampin' Up! online store goes to a Breast Cancer organization.
To see how I've put this card together and learn the techniques I've used, be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel. You can make several of these in whatever color you choose and donate to a cancer center. They'll get into the hands of those who could use some encouragement and you get the joy of stamping and giving.
