QUICK REMINDER: Today is the last day for the Free Shipping on orders of $75.00 or more. I know I have to get an order in myself!
Today’s card is a sweet one. And it is a nod towards a fun new set that is in the upcoming Annual Catalog. If you know me, then you know I love the quirky animals that Stampin’ Up! has. Hint, Hint!
STAMPS
This fun turtle is my nod to an upcoming mega suite of products featuring some playful turtles. But this guy has always been one I am drawn to. He looks very shy to me. He is part of the Playing In The Rain stamp set, with matching Dies. Both are on the Last Chance List but still available and discounted.
To achieve a softer look for the shy turtle, I stamped him in Old Olive Ink and then colored with Old Olive, Lemon Lime Twist and some shading of Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends. He is not a stand out type guy.
The sentiment is from the all sentiment stamp set named Wonderful Thoughts. It is a great set to have on hand with smaller sentiments for any occasion. This little “Hello, Friend” just seemed perfect for my shy guy to say.
DIES
All of the Dies used are from the same great set. It is the Stylish Shapes Dies. This set includes layering squares, circles and banners. For this card I used the two largest of the Circle Dies for Mr. Turtle and his layer. And the smallest Banner Die for the little sentiment, They all have the little stitching around the edges which I love.
PAPERS
This card debuts, from me anyway, the Cloud Cover cardstock. This is a new InColor for 2025-2027. It is a soft blue/gray. I have paired it with two patterns from the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper. The listed coordinating colors mention Pool Party as the background for this floral pattern. When I placed the Cloud Cover with it, that seemed to match the shade better and it did match the little dots that are in the background. So I think it is a winner.
The textured green is the same for both the layer and the sentiment layer. It really pulls the green from the flower leaves as well as the turtle. And it actually works with the Cloud Cover as well. I think this will be a new favorite.
EXTRAS
There are two Extra today. I added a strip of Daffodil Delight 1/8 Ribbon around the two layers and beneath Mr. Turtle. It sort of ground him. The second Extra is bling, but a new one. This single hexagon is from the upcoming catalog also and is part of the turtle suite I mentioned in the beginning. They are called Shades Of Green Hexagons. There are a lot of them. The package contains several shades of green in a couple of sizes. I love that it is a new shape. Hopefully you will love them as well.

I have a fun card for you today. But before we get there, remember that the Free Shipping on orders of $75.00 or more is happening thru tomorrow. That is a great deal. Especially with all of the products on the Last Chance List.
Now for today’s card: I have paired a lot of new/upcoming products for a debut. Sadly that doesn’t give you much of a supply list, but I will update it once the products are available.
STAMPS& DIES
This fun tag is from the upcoming Paper Tags Bundle. It will be available in the May OnLine Exclusives release. When I saw this demonstrated at OnStage last month, I knew I had to have it. And I was even more surprised when I used it to make this card.
The way the tag stamps, and then Die cuts with the white edge, it makes it appear the White is embossed. But it is not. The detail is fabulous. Also in playing with the Dies, I found that the two tags layer, or are great individually. I began with the individual, and then realized they could layer. So there is my convoluted thinking process. LOL!!!
To create the tag I pulled the Strawberry Slush from the DSP. In case this color looks and sounds familiar, Strawberry Slush was a previous In Color. Now it has returned as a new 2025-2027 In Color.
PAPERS
This bright floral DSP is from another upcoming product. It is the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper. This is a perfect summer paper with not just these small flowers, but other sheets that have summery drinks on them. The Stamps and Dies are great as well.
The colors were all pulled from the DSP. I chose the Strawberry Slush, mentioned with the stamping, as the card base and the stamped tag color. Then opted for the deep Blackberry Bliss for the thin layer and the tag layer. I was really surprised how these colors paired so well.
EXTRAS
There are two Extras today. The little green bow is from the Pack Your Bags Twine 3 pack. It is the only item that is available right now. It is part of the fun suite of products named On The Go. It is in the Online Exclusives. If you like to travel please check this one out. It is available now.
The final Extra is bling of course. What I chose is the new 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls. These have a pearly shine to them. Plus each color includes three different sizes. I have used one of each and I especially love the ones that are flat. That makes mailing much simpler. The one I used is the Timid Tiger new color.

Having been working on pulling and rearranging my stamps, I am falling in love with some all over again. Today I am focussing on one beautiful image and have paired it with a new floral DSP. Simple and elegant.
STAMPS
This single image from the Everyday Details stamp set is one that I have used several times. I love the size and different flowers. Plus it is one that can stand alone as I have used it today. This set , along with the coordinating Dies, are on the Last Chance List. The Dies are circles and squares that have larger than usual holes around the edges.
The image is stamped using Gray Granite Ink. I have been using grays for images that I plan on coloring. In this case, you can see how the outline is there, but not overwhelmng. I like that in some cases. All of the colors were pulled from the DSP, with the exception of the green. I used Old Olive Stampin’ Blends here since Garden Green does not have a pair of Stampin’ Blends. So sad!
PAPERS
The fabulously bold and beautiful DSP here is from the new Florals In Bloom Designer Series Paper. These colors just seem to pop out of the paper. And I really love when a blue is added to flowers. For some reason it seems to make them stand out more, instead of detracting as you would expect. This wonderful paper is part of the Florals In Bloom Suite that is coming in May.
For the card base I went with the soft Bubble Bath cardstock. But then added Night of Navy (there is my blue again) for the layer. I was afraid the DSP would fade into the light color of the base. And again I used the Night of Navy for the layer behind the focal flower.
EXTRAS
This focal layer was designed to really stand out. The flower does that, but I wanted to add a bit extra. So my favorite EXTRA of today is the Textured Notes Die. These Dies are part of the Botanical Suite of products in the Online Exclusives.
The last EXTRA is bling of course. I went a bit overboard and added a Iridescent Pearl to the center of each of the flowers. It does not really stand out, but is noticeable, and that is all I ask.

I am still working on going through my stamps and marking the ones moving over to the Last Chance List. One that I use for a quick card is the one I have to share today. The Poised Peony looks great as simple or stepped up. And I have stepped it up just a bit for you.
STAMPS
The stamps I used are from the Poised Peony stamp set. Peonies are probably my most favorite flower. They remind me of my Mom and my grandmother. Sadly the deer like them as well. They have eaten all of mine. But this is one that I can look at anytime of year.
The image is stamped using Basic Gray Ink. I have found this gives lighter outline and softens with the Stampin’ Blends over it. The Stampin’ Blends are Bubble Bath and then Petunia Pop for the tips. The leaves are Old Olive. I did have to fussy cut the flower. But it was well worth the trouble I believe.
This card could be for any occasion with the simple Hello sentiment on the front. That is included in the set as well. Except this is actually a birthday card and I failed to photograph the inside. I added the medium size peony on the inside. There are actually three different sizes of this gorgeous flower iincluded.
PAPERS
The decision on the flower colors also decided the card base and layer colors. Then I ran across this Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper. I believe it came out as a special during the holidays. However the three different sheets are not holiday prints. So I felt like making my birthday peony special. Actually the gold netting look is similar to what I tried to protect my peony bush with to keep the deer from eating it.
EXTRAS
There are a couple of Extras today. First is the Everyday Arches Dies. Sadly they are currently unavailable but are coming back. I used the smallest of these dies for this sentiment frame. Because it was larger than needed for the word, I added a ribbon knot onto the one end. This is Petunia Pop to match the card base. And to complete the card with bling, I used a scattering of Gold Textured Dots around the card. Both the stamp set and the Gold Dots are still available on the Last Chance List with a little bit of a discount.

Yesterday I mentioned I was using some of the wonderful products from the Last Chance List that are still available. My Fun Fold card for today uses the Adventurous Sky Bundle. I love Fun Folds and this one is a great Pop Up type. Plus the card layout will work with any stamp set.
STAMPS& DIES
This fun stamp set is the Adventurous Sky. The stamp set is gone from the Last Chance list since I checked, but the Dies are still available and the DSP as well. The front sentiment, which I love, is from the stamp set. And is die cut using a Die from the Cheerful Daisies Die set. These Dies are on the Last Chance List as well, but still available. The stitching and the edge trim are so cute.
The inside airplane is stamped and then colored using Stampin’ Blends. I Die cut it with the matching Die set. (The Dies cut several of the planes from the DSP also.) And the inside sentiment is from the set.
PAPERS
The card colors all come from the DSP. It is the Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper. And it is not retiring , but is currently on Low Inventory. I decided the card base should be Night of Navy to match the large DSP sheet on the front. A layer of Basic White helps that piece to pop . The angled plane piece on front is one of the sheets also. There is one sheet that has six or eight tag size designs. This is one of those. And the copper DSP strip is to help match the plane.
The inside is a piece of Basic White with a simple method cut from the folded center that pops out to hold the plane and sky. That little strip I added of sky is also from the DSP.
EXTRAS
There are two Extras today. The Jute Twine around the top adds some texture to a simple area of the card. It is from the 2023-2025 InColor Jute Trim. This is the Boho Blue twine. Since those colors are retiring, it is on the Last Chance List as well. And the bling for today is very simple. I placed a single bling from the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls on the sentiment.
MEASUREMENTS
This layout is one I see myself repeating quite often. Any stamped image that will look good popped up on the inside will work. Or with the simple matchbook design, it can be more of a plain card without a pop up. I cased this card from Sunny Day Stampin’.
The card base measures 9 3/4 X 3 3/4 scored at 5 1/4. The taller half is the back of the card. Then the top section measures 4 1/4 X 2 1/2 and is scored at 1 1/4. The taller half of the base fits, centered, into the folded center of this piece to create the matchbook.
For the inside piece, Basic White is cut to measure 3 3/4 X 9 3/4 and is scored at 5. Again the taller section is the back. Now fold this and place the fold on your paper trimmer. cut a 3/4 ” slit through the folded card stock, making sure it cuts through both pieces, at 1 1/2 and 2. This pushes out and becomes the pop up holder.
The DSP layers for my card are 3 1/2 X 4 1/4 for the blue and white large front piece. Then 1 X 4 for the matchbook top. And the DSP with the plane on the front is 1 1/4 X 2 1/2.

I have a fun Fancy Fold to share today. This one is a Latch card. It is similar to a Buckle, but I think it is cuter! The Last Chance List is continuing with a lot of products still available. So I have decided to have starring roles for some of those before they are sold out.
This is the closed view with the latch on the right side. And here is the open view.
STAMPBUNDLE
The Wildlfower Designs Bundle is one I have used quite a lot. Probably the stamps more than the Dies. I do love this small flower on the front. This one I have used quite a lot. It is just so simple and cute. I stamped it in the background of the focal layer using Basic Beige Ink for a soft touch. Then again in Basic Gray to color and Die Cut. Raising it with Stampin’ Dimensionals gives it the elevated status it needs. I really hate that this bundle did not carry over. However it is still available right now.
The sentiments, both on the inside and the front, are from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set. This set, and matching Dies, are carrying over. But they will no longer be bundled. Both of the sentiments are stamped using Misty Moonlight Ink to match the DSP.
PAPERS
These DSP sheets are both from the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper. The DSP is carrying over and I am thrilled. This paper is so pretty and the royal shades of the colors just makes me smile. Of course I pulled all of the colors used from the DSP.
The berry looking color is actually Moody Mauve, which is retiring. However, it looks just as good, if not better, with Berry Burst as a pairing color. Since I used the “back” of the blue version of this sheet, I wanted a color that matched both. So Mossy Meadow came to be the card base.
EXTRAS
To finish my card, I needed two Extras. First is the inside layer punch. I did not want to cover either of the DSP layers, so opted for a small sentiment and a small white section. The Labeled With Love Punch was my answer. And for the Bling, I went with the Brushed Brass Butterflies. They seemed perfect for all of the flowers.
MEASUREMENTS
The card base is cut to 8 1/2 X 4 1/4 and is scored at 3. The front layer measures 3 1/3 X 3 and then 3 1/4 X 2 3/4 for the White. For the front DSP it measures 2 3/4 X 4 with the blue inside layer at 5 1/8 X 4. The inside small DSP is 3 3/4 X 2 1/2. To create the “Latch” I used both Mossy Meadow and the DSP. The Mossy Meadow is 2 1/4 X 2 1/4 and the DSP is 2 X 2. Cut both of these on the angle, they should line up perfectly. To add to the card, simple add adhesive only along the longest edge and align flush with the right side of the card. Your flap should have room to slide under it. Keep this layer thin so it can bend just a little. I cased this card from Kathy Ondus.

My card today is one that works for male or female readers. I read every day and have friends who do as well. This was made for a man, but the colors will work for anyone. I really love the For The Books Bundle.
STAMPS& DIES
The stamping and images are all from the fabulous For The Books Bundle. Since I am a constant reader, this was a first choice from the Mini Catalog. I had hoped it would carry over, but sadly it is on the Last Chance List. They are still available as a bundle, or individually, but the best price is still as a bundle on this one.
The book was Die cut from Calypso Coral and is raised using Stampin’ Dimensionals. For the sentiment I needed a particular size. And any Die or Punch I pulled was too large for the location. So I did a simple fussy cutting and left as that. It tucked under the book just a bit and seems fine.
To add a little personalization to the book, and the card, I added an initial. This pretty “W” is made using the Mini Alphabet Die. This is a single Die that makes the entire alphabet in one cut. I have cut it a couple of times using Basic White cardstock, and again in a couple of colors. They are sitting in a little tub next to my desk for quick personalizations. This Die was added as a second part to this year’s Sale-A-Bration. That was a fabulous deal. But it is back in stock, and actually is carrying over. I think it is a perfect size of alphabet.
PAPERS
There are a mix of papers here as usual, but they are a bit different. The colors were all pulled from the DSP. It is the Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper. And it is carrying over as well. Woohoo!! This is a great paper for all occasions. And as a 6X6, it is a good one for 3D items since you do not have to really be concerned with directional patterns.
The card base is Old Olive cardstock and then a lighter green for the embossed layer. This layer is the two tone cardstock. I had not tried it before but we were given two sheets at Convention for one of our projects there. This one is Granny Apple Green. It may be a little difficult to see the dark / light in the photo. I have the lighter side up and then the darker you can see where I have folded over the corners. You may also be able to see that it has a White core from the embossing and bending that I did. It is definitely different from our usual cadstock.
EXTRAS
There are three Extras today. First is the fabulous Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder used on the two tone layer. This folder gives such wonderful detail. And is really nice with this paper as I mentioned you can see places of a little of the white core.
Next is the Linen Thread. I wanted yet more texture for the card. Adding a double strand of the Linen Thread around the embossed layer added just what I had in mind. And the final Extra is of course the bling. I have used the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems. These are the Peach Pie color which still works as a light tannish color to go with the Calypso Coral.

My card to share with you today is a Multitude of Thanks. Actually it is many versions of Thanks from different languages. I am using one of the Ephemera Pack cards. I am all about stamping, but you cannot beat these for a quick and adorable card.
EPHEMERA PACK
The Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack is fabulous. There are two sides to each card, and there are two different sizes. One side is primarily a DSP like print and the other is for notes, borders, and similar to mine. I chose this wonderful Thanks card to spotlight as my focal layer. And I believe it does a great job at being worthy of the spotlight. Plus the ease of simply layering these says a lot when you need something quick. Or when you want to make a pack as a gift for a friend.
PAPERS
To add another layer of color, as well as you another of the Greetings For All cards, I have sliced one for background. The four strips you see in the background are also from this pack of cards. The zigzag stripes are one side and the bottom strip is the opposite side of the same card. I love the mix of colors.
The card base was pulled from these colors, along with all of the colors. Sadly I made this before the Boho Blue cardstock was sold out. However, Balmy Blue cardstock would work as the base, as well as any of the colors from the zigzag strips. I paired the blue with Pretty In Pink for a brighter color to pop the focal layer.
EXTRAS
To keep this card going with the simple I used two Extras. The first is the Peach Pie Ribbon. A simple knot on the front is not too busy but highlights the orange in the zigzag pieces for even more color. And for the bling, I used the 2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots. A trio of the larger size in Pretty In Pink seemed to complete the card.
MEASUREMENTS
This card base measures 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 with the Pretty In Pink layer at 4 X 5 1/4. The strips are each 4 X 1. For the focal layer Pink, it is 3 1/8 X 4 1/8 and the card is 3 X 4.

This fun title is actually a stamp. The first time I saw it I laughed out loud, and still do when I see it. And that is what I think our cards should do. Maybe not laugh out loud, but bring a smile or happiness to someone. Plus the way I have used it today is another “almost” no stamping card.
STAMPS
This fun sentiment is from the Saying Hey stamp set. Sadly it is on the Last Chance list. But if you do not have it, then it is not sad. It is currently marked down to $15.30. That is a steal for some fun and unusual sentiments. I thought this sentiment was perfect for the frame and the adorable little mouse. (They are only adorable when not real!!!) It is stamped on Basic Beige cardstock to go along with the other softer and antique looking colors. Then I just fussy cut it to keep it small and to fit on the frame.
PAPERS
These papers are once again from the Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper and sticker pack. The Wild Wheat background so reminds me of old timey wallpaper! Then the frame is from one of the sheets that has multiple different tags and small size images. As soon as I saw it, I went to the sticker page to see what would work inside the frame. Most of these stickers are the storybook animals. But this mouse seemed just right.. She is raised using Stampin’ Dimensionals to help her stand out from the frame
The card base color is pulled from the frame. I chose Flirty Flamingo. Then decided it required a layer between the wallpaper. Basic Beige seemed to go along with the antique as I said regarding the sentiment. So a thin layer breaks up those two darker colors.
EXTRAS
To add bling to this scene I have created was a little difficult. I went through all of my embellishments and most seemed to blend in more than stand out. When I came to the Antique Pearls, they were on my desk and not in the container, I knew these were the bling. They also fit with the antique look. I decided that a trio of them across the top of the frame would be the perfect location.
