Sneak Peek of the Florals in Bloom Suite   Who is ready for some gorgeous new In Colors and upcoming products from the 2025 Annual Catalog? Me! Me! I was able to see and order some of the new products as I attended our yearly Stampin' Up! convention last weekend in Raleigh NC. These products are from the new mega-suite Florals in Bloom that is featured on the front cover of the new catalog. This suite includes 2 bundles: Pretty Florals has 2-3 step florals and dies that you can also put together to make other flowers, and the Sweet Blooms bundle that includes word dies ("bloom" and "lovely").  There is also yummy floral paper with cute back sides (see one in the background above) and new Flat Pearls in all the new In Colors. You will have such fun playing with all the parts of this suite. If you want to see more sneak peeks of new products, watch my video below.  Let's make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Darling Duckling cardstock --Card base 8 1/2...

  My On Stage Swap This past week I went to On Stage, a yearly gathering of Stampin' Up Demonstrators that was in Raleigh, North Carolina. We were able to receive the new 2025-6 Annual Catalog and also received some of the new products from it. We make ahead cards to "swap" with other demonstrators and this is one of the cards I made multiples of to swap with other demonstrators. In this post you will also see the other swaps I made, and if you watch my Facebook Live below, you will be able to see a few of the swaps I received from other demonstrators. I will show you more swaps next Monday at 2 pm PST when I do my next Facebook Live.  Let's make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Flirty Flamingo cardstock --Card base 8 1/2" by 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" and folded in half on the score line. Also die cut the largest Stylish Shapes circle 2. Mixed Media Florals DSP--cut 2 different pieces 3 3/4" by 5" (you will have enough to make 2 card fronts) ...

Woven Textures Beauty For today's card I used many products from the Online Exclusive suite Botanical Textures, but the star of this card is really the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper. I just love how realistic these papers are--to me they look like photos of baskets or placemats. The colors are spot on with our beautiful Stampin' Up browns and I used a lot of different ones on this card. I don't (yet) have the Textured Notes stamp set, but I have showed you several different stamp sets on my card that work well with this DSP .  Also notice the embossed rectangle die cuts on this card brought to you by the Textured Notes dies. In my mind, this die set is the best product in the newest Online Exclusives so go check them out. I highlight them on my Facebook Live video below--don't get dismayed that I start out upside down as I fixed it pretty quickly--just fast forward a minute or so on the video if it drives you crazy. Let's make this card! Gather your supplies:...

Beautiful Butterflies I am hoping a lot of you picked up the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set for free last month when you could get it as part of Sale-a-Bration. That is all you need to make this card. Then later this month you just need to buy the hybrid embossing folder and dies when they come back in stock the week of 3/31! This suite is just so versatile--I demonstrated on my Facebook Live this week all the different things that the hybrid embossing folder can do. The suite also includes the Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper and the Itty Bitty Bokeh Mix of embellishments. For this card, I decided to go back to the Annual Catalog for the Designer Series Paper, as the annual catalog will be ending soon and I think this DSP is so beautiful.  Let's make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Petunia Pop cardstock --Card base 8 1/2" by 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" and folded in half on the score line. 2. Unbounded Beauty DSP--4" by 5 1/4", a piece 2 1/4" by...
