Good Friday morning stamping friends. The weekend is only hours away. I received my order late yesterday afternoon with all my product share supplies. I’ll be cutting ribbon and embellishments today and getting all the paper in order to cut. I like to open all the packs and put the patterns together so it makes it easier to sort.

Today’s card is one that I did on my YouTube Live yesterday. If you were able to join me, thank you for hopping on. If you’d like to watch the replay and stamp along, the measurements are on the bottom of this post along with the link to my video. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Boutique Blossoms Bundle, Bloom Boutique Specialty Designer Series Paper, and the Stampin’ Up! Scalloped Blooms Stamp Set for my card today.

Here’s the template I used for the curtain folded panel

Adhere a panel of Bloom Boutique DSP to the top of a Crisp Cantaloupe panel. Cut and fold another panel of Bloom Boutique DSP following the template above. Adhere the folded panel to the bottom of the Crisp Cantaloupe mat.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the smaller flower image from the Boutique Blossoms stamp set in Basic Gray Ink 2 times and the flower bud image from the Boutique Blossoms stamp set 2 times. Using the Boutique Blossoms Dies, cut the images out. cut multiple leaves from a panel of Peaceful Pine and 2 of the smaller detailed flower from a panel of Crisp Cantaloupe. Color the stamped flowers using Barely Blush, Crisp Cantaloupe and Peaceful Pine Stampin’ Blends Markers. Arrange the flowers and leaves across the seam of the DSP using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set on the bottom right corner of the Crisp Cantaloupe mat in Hydrangea Hue Ink. Adhere the layered panel to a Hydrangea Hue card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few 2026-2028 In-Color Dots to the card front.

Stamp the sentiments form the Scalloped Blooms stamp set in Hydrangea Hue Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the small flower bud image from the Boutique Blossoms stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on the bottom of the panel. Color the image using Crisp Cantaloupe and Peaceful Pine Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic Whtie panel to a Crisp Cantaloupe mat then to the inside of the Hydrangea Hue card base

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the flower bud image from the Boutique Blossoms samp set in Basic Gray Ink on the envelope front. Color the image using Crisp Cantaloupe and Peaceful Pine Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Bloom Boutique DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under my post. I’d love to see your take it. You can watch my video on my YouTube Channel Here.

Product List

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Yesterday ended up being a beautiful day, it actually warmed up a little.

Today I have another sneak peek for you of a card that was made at OnStage during After Hours. I made mine when I got home and added my own little extras. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fern & Flora Bundle along with the Moonlit Designer Series Paper (both will be available May 5), for my card today.

Adhere a panel of Moonlit Flora DSP to a Basic White card base. Using a Blending Brush, add Peaceful Pink Ink along the bottom of a Basic White panel. Stamp the large fern image from the Fern & Flora stamp set in Golden Glow Ink on the bottom of the panel over the shaded area.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the large fern image from Fern & Flora stamp set in Golden Glow Ink. Cut the image out using the Fern & Flora Dies. Adhere the die cut image to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Peaceful Pink stamp the sentiment from the Fern & Flora stamp set in Secret Sea Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the Fern & Flora Dies. Adhere the sentiment to a panel of Secret Sea Two-Tone cardstock. Adhere a piece of White & Gold Baker’s Twine from the Black & White & Gold Baker’s Twine (expected back in stock the week of April 13) to the card front. Adhere the sentiment over the baker’s twine with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp the moth image from the Fern & Flora stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on a panel of Golden Glow and Basic White. Color the moth on the Basic White, using Clear Wink of Stella and Golden Glow Ink over the image. Cut the moths out using the Fern & Flora Dies. Adhere the moths to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Dewdrops Embellishments (avail May 5) to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Fern & Flora stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the large fern image from the Fern & Flora stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on the corners of the panel. Adhere the basic White panel to a Soft Sea Foam mat then to the inside of the Basic White card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the large fern image from the Fern & Flora stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on the envelope front and flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and this suite might be on your shopping list to purchase on May 5. Happy Stamping!!

Product List

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a great weekend. It’s still pretty cold here again, so I’ll be staying inside today hopefully having time to create.

As most of you know I’m not much of a kit person, I enjoy creating my own designs. I have a vendor event coming up in April and I thought I’d bring products to show how easy card making really is. Most of the people that will be attending are scrapbookers, so of course I’ll have scrapbooking products with me, but I also decided to bring some card kits along. I wanted to put together the kits I’ll be bringing so that everyone can actually see the cards and not just the pictures in the kits. Here’s one of the kit’s I’ll be bringing with me.

This is the Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Wishes Kit that makes 9 elegant Birthday cards. If you have someone that you want to introduce card making to, the non-stamping kits are the perfect way to go.

The Stampin’ Up! Kits are all inclusive kits that include everything for you to make beautiful cards. This is a non-stamping kit, so the sentiments come in multiple languages. The die cut pieces punch out super easy. It has all the adhesive that you will need along with embellishments. They also come with step-by-step visual directions that are easy to follow.

When I make a kit, I make 1 of each card the way they say to in the directions. The rest of the cards I do my own thing. I had this kit completed in about 1/2 hour, it’s that easy.

Such a simple card, but so very elegant with the white on white. The card bases felt like Thick Basic White with a bit of a texture.

This kit included a square card too, which is absolutely beautiful. This one was also a white on white with a piece of floral vellum that was included in the kit. Look at those beautiful gold touches.

The vellum pieces for this one add the perfect delicate touch along with the small gold shimmer embellishments.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the cards and will give this kit a try. Happy Stamping!!

Product List

Good Monday morning stamping friends, welcome to a new week!! How was your weekend? It was spring here in NJ and now we’re back to cooler temps. My husband and I took the pups for a walk in the morning, which felt good to get out and walk for a bit. I was able to get some yard work done yesterday too. It was one of those days I was in my own way, so I decided to head outside and clean up my gardens a little.

New Basic Black Hybrid Ink Pad Coming in May 2026!

Stampin’ Up! is releasing a new Basic Black Hybrid Stampin’ Pad (166648) and the Basic Black Hybrid Ink Refill (166649)* with the May–August 2026 Catalog!!  The new ink has the ability to work with various coloring techniques.  In fact, it’s called “hybrid” because it has similar characteristics to StāzOn and Memento—you can use this single pad for watercolor techniques AND techniques featuring Stampin’ Blends!  The new hybrid ink will be a coloring go-to.

STĀZON & MEMENTO INK UPDATE:

Something that has us less excited is how increasingly difficult it has become to source StāzOn and Memento ink. The timing of the Hybrid ink is fortunate, as it’s releasing right as Stampin’ Up! will be forced to discontinue the following products once existing inventory is gone:

• Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad (132708)
• Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Refill (133456)
• Jet Black StāzOn Ink Pad (101406)
• Jet Black StāzOn Ink Refill (102566)
• Saddle Brown StāzOn Ink Pad (151508)
• Saddle Brown StāzOn Ink Refill (152820)
• StāzOn Cleaner (109196)

Here are a few things to note about the ink transition:  

• All discontinued items listed above will be available while supplies last.  If Stampin’ Up! sells out of items ahead of them being moved to the Last Chance Products list, they will be labeled unavailable and be removed from the online store.
• * The Basic Black Hybrid Ink Refill (166649) will not be available for several months and will not be listed in the Online Store when the catalog releases to customers.  As soon as Stampin’ Up! provides an update on when the refills are available, I’ll let you know.

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!!! How many Irish friends do I have out there? I don’t have a stitch of Irish in me, but my mom would make corned beef and cabbage every year on St. Patrick’s Day with a loaf of Italian bread. No one in my family likes it, so I haven’t had it in years.

OnStage 2026 is in the books. I arrived home around 10pm Sunday night, it was so good to get home to my own bed and pillow. My girls went crazy when I walked in the house and stayed by my side the rest of the night, following me room to room. My intention was to post this yesterday, but there were technology issues with my computer and phone, so it had to wait until today.

There’s a lot of photos here from Sunny California’s OnStage. Here we go.

First thing we all did was registered and received out swag. After picking it up we had a little bit of time before our first session started.

After the first session, a group of us went to Tequilla Jack’s for a delicious dinner together. Others went to the Welcome party they had.

Friday morning Amy, Mary, Tara and I got to go to OnStage+ which was a breakfast for leaders. We each received a small bag to match our large bag. After breakfast, our sessions began. Once everything was over, a group of us headed out for an Italian dinner, which was delicious.

After dinner it was time for After Hours for those who signed up. We received a bundle along with some DSP and cardstock and got to create some cards (I’ll be showing those tomorrow).

This is one of the new bundles coming in May.

Jo, Sue, LeAnne and Carole are hard at work creating. This is really a beautiful suite, and I can’t wait to get the rest of it.

We even got to play with a couple of the new Stamp Pads in the 2026-2028 In-Colors. Afterwards we all headed to our rooms to rest up for Saturday.

Here are some peeks at some of the new DSP coming in May

Here are some peeks at some new suite and bundles coming in May.

They held off until Saturday to give us our catalogs.

Stampin’ Up! does a lot of celebrating by having us walk across the stage and waving. I had to go up a few times, once for becoming Silver Elite and once for hitting my 100K in career to date sales. Mary, Amy and I went up on stage together to celebrate earning the 2026 Incentive trip.

Every year we try to take a group picture at one of their props they have set up.

Every year after it’s all over, we all gather for a pizza party. This year we gathered in Mary’s room to eat pizza and salad, chat and laugh.

Hope you enjoyed seeing the pictures from the weekend. We all had such a great time together, chatting, laughing and getting to know one another and we’re already excited about getting together again next year. Pictured here from the left are Mary’s feet, Pete, Tara on the floor, Jo, Myself, LeAnne, Lynn, Debra, Carole and Sue. Amy was taking the picture.

Stampin’ Up! incentive trip disclaimer: Typically, only the top 1% of demonstrators earn the trip. These achievements represent my individual accomplishments, and do not reflect those of the typical Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. Please be aware that fewer than 1% of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators earn the incentive trip and there is no guarantee of similar results.
