Sneak Peek – 2025–2027 In Colors for GDP494

Leave a comment

The newest Global Design Project sketch challenge (GDP494) was the perfect opportunity to showcase Stampin’ Up!’s brand new 2025–2027 In Colors—and I’m in love!

Here’s the card I created:

This happy birthday card features:
🎨 Secret Sea, Cloud Cover, Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger, and Darling Duckling—aren’t those names just fun?
🌿 Each color strip is embossed using the Garden folder from the Glass & Gardens 3D Embossing Folder Pack for gorgeous texture and dimension.
🌸 I added three sweet layered flowers with pink gem centers for a whimsical touch.
💬 The sentiment comes from the new Simply Said stamp set, heat embossed in white on a bold strip of cardstock.

The best part? Most of these products aren’t even available to the public yet—they launch May 6! But… if you sign up to become a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, you can get early access and a discount too. Win-win!

👉 Want to recreate this design? I’ll have a full supply list ready once the products go live—stay tuned!

Festive Friday – A Touch of Elegance + Double Stampin’ Rewards!

Leave a comment

Welcome to another Festive Friday—your weekly dose of holiday inspiration to help you stay ahead on Christmas cards this year!

This week’s card is all about shimmer and simplicity. I paired the gorgeous Season of Elegance Designer Series Paper (DSP) with a timeless Merry Christmas sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set. The mix of gold foil and rich color makes it perfect for elegant holiday greetings that come together quickly but still have a “wow” factor.

🛠️ Cardmaking Tips:

  • Strip Smart: Use ¾” strips of DSP from coordinating patterns to stretch your supplies and build a polished design. It’s a great way to use scraps!
  • Pop it up: Mount your sentiment on a contrasting mat and use Stampin’ Dimensionals to make it stand out.
  • Ribbon Matters: A textured ribbon (like this sparkly Pretty Peacock & Gold mesh one) ties it all together—literally!
  • Finish Strong: Add a fewAnitque Pearls for a touch of festive sparkle without overwhelming the design.

Throwback Thursday with a Sneak Peek!

Leave a comment

Retired Favourite Meets Brand-New May Release

Today’s Throwback Thursday is a celebration of both old and new! I had so much fun bringing out the long-retired Perfect Punches stamp set for this card—and pairing it with one of my most-loved tools from the past, the coordinating oval punch. These two classics still hold up beautifully!

But the real magic happens when they meet brand-new products coming your way on May 6th—like the stunning Florals In Bloom12X12 Designer Series Paper and gorgeous new core colours: Secret Sea and Cloud Cover.

🌸 Project Details:

  • Sentiment: Stamped in Petunia Pop on Fresh Freesia using the retired Perfect Punches set
  • Card Base: Cloud Cover cardstock
  • Layers: Secret Sea mat with two strips of Florals In Bloom DSP
  • Embellishments: A sweet bow and Smoky Slate pearls for the perfect finishing touch

This card blends nostalgia and freshness—and that’s exactly why I love it. The bold colours and cheerful pattern from Florals In Bloom truly make the sentiment pop, while the classic oval punch gives it that clean, timeless feel.

Sweet Mother’s Day Card – HSS Inspiration Challenge #462

Leave a comment

I’m excited to share my card for the Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge #462! Inspired by the soft pinks and florals in the challenge board, I used the Attention Shopper Bundle—on the last chance list!—to create this sweet Mother’s Day card. The background features the 2024-2026 In Color DSP in Pretty in Pink, and the card is finished with shimmer gems for extra sparkle.

Here’s the card I created:

The mini bouquets are colored with coordinating Stampin’ Blends (Pretty In Pink, Fresh Freesia, Smoky Slate, Granny Apple Green) and popped up for dimension above a Balmy Blue blended background. I love how the fresh colors and florals echo the inspiration photos! If you love the Attention Shopper Bundle, don’t wait—it’s only available while supplies last!

Festive Friday – Wishing You a Merry Christmas with Fragrant Forest

Leave a comment

If you love cards that are both serene and striking, this week’s Festive Friday creation is sure to inspire! I paired the Fragrant Forest background stamp with a warm holiday greeting from the Greetings of the Season stamp set, all framed with a stitched tag die from the Merriest Trees Dies. The finishing touches? A pop of shine with the Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Foil Gems and a sweet Black & Very Vanilla Gingham Ribbon bow.

This card came together beautifully with a limited colour palette and minimal layers, which makes it easy to recreate—perfect for batch-making your holiday cards!

✨ Cardmaking Tips:

  • Add a ribbon bow to soften the design and create visual balance.
  • Use Pretty Peacock ink to stamp your background for rich depth and instant winter vibes.
  • Stamp your sentiment before die-cutting your tag for perfect placement every time.
  • Embellish thoughtfully—three gems add sparkle without overpowering the card.

🎉 LAST CHANCE ALERT
Everything used on this card (except the ribbon) is on the Last Chance List! That means these gorgeous products are retiring and only available while supplies last—don’t wait!

Global Design Project #493 – Colour Challenge

Leave a comment

This week’s Global Design Project is a fun Colour Challenge featuring Melon Mambo, Granny Apple Green, and Basic Gray—and I just couldn’t resist creating a bright and cheerful teacher thank-you card using the School Days stamp set (available online only).

Here’s the card I created:

The bold stripes were created using tone-on-tone stamping to highlight the cute images from the set—apples, pencils, and stars. I added a stitched circle featuring a poppy Melon Mambo apple stacked on a couple of books, and tied it together with a sweet “Thank you” banner and a simple bow. Inside, I finished the card with the sentiment “You make a world of difference” and another little apple for a heartfelt touch.

This card would be perfect for any amazing teacher, EA, or school staff member who deserves a little love this time of year!

🌷 Throwback Thursday – Flowering Tulips for Mother’s Day 🌷

Leave a comment

It’s time for another Throwback Thursday, and today’s card is all about celebrating the wonderful moms in our lives! I pulled out one of my favourite retired sets—Flowering Tulips—to create a soft and lovely Mother’s Day card. While this stamp set is no longer available, I paired it with some fabulous Last Chance Products that you can still get your hands on… and they’re on sale!

Here’s what I used:

  • Retired: Flowering Tulips Stamp Set & Dies (still a go-to for floral elegance)
  • On Sale & Retiring:
    – 2024–2026 In Color 6″x6″ DSP (I used the Pretty In Pink stripes)
    – 2024–2026 In Color Shimmer Gems (a subtle sparkle that ties it all together!)
  • Cardstock: Basic Gray (just a reminder—cardstock prices are increasing after May 6, so now is the perfect time to stock up!)
  • Ink Colors: Pretty In Pink, Bubble Bath, Soft Sea Foam, Basic Gray

The sentiment combo is one of my favourites—“Love You So Much” layered with a stitched banner for “Happy Mother’s Day.” Soft, sweet, and perfect for spring.

💡 TIP: This layout works beautifully with any floral set, so feel free to CASE this card using something from your current collection!

🛒 Don’t Forget:
– Grab the In Color DSP and Shimmer Gems while they’re still available!
– Stock up on your go-to coloured cardstock before the price increase on May 6!
