Happy Tuesday, y’all! Hope that you’re having a good week and are not having bad weather. Appears Mother Nature’s got a bit of a bee in her bonnet right now! 😳
Today’s card is just a fun little number for Spring (the NICE Spring – not this grouchy thing we got going!) using the Woolly Friends stamp set and some pretty Splash of Sparkles Specialty DSP. Take a look-see:
And I pulled some elements from the Festive Friday Inspo List. I used Pastel Colors, Ribbon, Punches and Aperture.
I started by placing a 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ piece of Splash of Sparkles Specialty DSP on a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Lemon Lolly cardstock.
Holding the paper in place with my hand (no adhesive) I used a 2″ Circle Punch to punch a hole, thru both pieces, at the top (I pushed the panel all the way into the punch to get the spacing).
I set the panel into position on the front of my Thick Basic White card base and used the hole to determine where to stamp the Woolly Friends image. Which I did in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
Then I used the fill image from Woolly Friends to color the sheep in Lemon Lolly ink and colored her legs with the Dark Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends.
I used the hole in the piece of DSP to position and stamp the Woolly Friends image in Tuxedo Black on a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock – then I set that panel aside for a bit.
Near the bottom of the card front, I stamped a Woolly Friends sentiment and the flowers in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I stamped the grass image in Garden Green ink and then colored the flowers with the Light Granny Apple Green and Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Blends.
I stamped the little butterfly image a couple times in Tuxedo Black and colored them with the Light Strawberry Slush Stampin’ Blends.
Then I adhered the panel to the Lemon Lolly mat – aligning the cut holes – with Liquid Glue.
I wrapped Bubble Bath 1/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon three times around the matted card front – securing it in back with Glue Dots. Then I tied a bow around the ribbon.
I popped the card front onto the Thick Basic White card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals – placing the stamped sheep in the middle of the hole.
On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sheep head in Tuxedo Black and colored it with the Dark Lemon Lolly and Light Pretty in Pink Stampin’ Blends. Then I cut it out with scissors and adhered it in place with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added a few Tiny Bee Trinkets with Mini Glue Dots and the card front was done.
Pulling out the 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic White that I stamped earlier – I colored it with the fill image in Lemon Lolly ink and the Dark Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blend. Then I stamped the bow in Tuxedo Black and colored it with the Light Strawberry Slush Stampin’ Blends.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Woolly Friends butterflies on the front…
…and more Splash of Sparkles Specialty DSP – with the flowers and grass! – on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! This little sheep is just jumping with “happy”, isn’t she?! I love both images in the Woolly Friends set but this jumpy kid is my fave. The pretty little flowers – and the butterflies! – are fun, too! And the Splash of Sparkles Specialty DSP is super pretty – this pattern is quiet but there’s plenty of ooomph (and gold foiling!) on several of the other patterns! 🙂
I hope you like! 🙂

TAKE A LOOK IN MY RETIRED SHOP!
Last week, Stampin’ UP! Updated the Last Chance Store and the Discontinued List. So…my Retired Shop got a big influx of new (used!) goodies!
Here’s the deets:
– Most of the items are gently used, but are in very good condition. Unless otherwise noted in the listing, packs of Designer Series Paper are “full” packs.
– All stamp sets are cling mount or photopolymer.
– Shipping is $8 per order no matter how much you purchase!
– The items are first come, first served so try to go through the checkout process as quickly as possible so that you don’t miss out on any of the items that you want (the store doesn’t have a way to “hold” things in your cart for you). If you notice that an item is no longer available when you go through the checkout process, that means that someone else has purchased it and it’s sold out.
– I can only ship to addresses in the US (or to military APO addresses) and USPS tracking will be included
– Items were added to the “Out of Catalog” and “Kits” categories – but be sure to check the other categories, too, if you haven’t in a while!
Happy Shopping!
Stampin’ Up! has some exciting changes coming in the new catalog!
Price Increases Coming
Stampin’ Up! is committed to providing high-quality paper crafting products and a great overall experience—without compromising the quality that Stampin’ Up! is known for.

Due to higher production costs, please expect price increases in the following product categories:
– Select Stampin’ Cut & Emboss product
– Heat Tool
– Cutting & Scoring Blades Multipacks
– Select Coloring Tools
– Storage
– Select Adhesives
– Select Paper products including Envelopes, Basic White Notecards & Envelopes, and Masking Paper

– In addition, Paper Pumpkin subscriptions will also see an upcoming price increase.
We not been given details yet on the specific price increases for the catalog items, we’ll see what we see when we get our hands on the new catalog later this month. If you’ve been considering purchasing anything on the list, be sure to order before the current catalog ends to get the lower pricing. 😎
Changes to the Upcoming Catalog Timelines
Starting in May, Stampin’ Up! is refreshing the way they share products in print, with a new, streamlined catalog strategy designed to make shopping from their catalogs easier and more intuitive. Instead of an annual catalog and multiple minis, they are moving to three beautifully designed catalogs per year—each one complete, current, and easy to use on its own. No more overlapping catalogs!
Each catalog will introduce new products alongside a selection of customer-favorite staples (core products)—such as stamps, ink, paper, tools, and adhesives—bringing the feel of a mini catalog and an annual catalog together in one place. This balanced approach creates an easy-to-shop print experience, all within a catalog released every four months:
– January–April
– May–August
– September–December
These seasonal catalogs are designed to put products front and center, making it easy for you to browse, discover, and shop by product category.
I’ll be getting to see the new May-August 2026 Catalog SOON (like…next week when I attend OnStage out in California) and I can’t wait to see the new catalogs moving forward. I think this new streamlined approach is going to be a really good thing!
New Magnetic Ink Pads – and a peek at the new 2026-2028 In Colors!
Beginning in May 2026, Stampin’ Up! will introduce new felt ink pads in a magnetic, stackable case design.
– In 2026, only the new In Colors will be offered in the new magnetic felt pads.
– In 2027, all ink colors will transition to the new magnetic felt pad as part of a planned color revamp, and the current pad style will be phased out.
Importantly, existing ink pads will remain usable throughout this transition—there is no immediate need to replace what you already own. Please be aware, however, that once the transition takes place, the old ink pad design will only be available while supplies last.
The photo above is an early peek at the new 2026-2028 In Colors! And they look beautiful!! The NEW Magnetic Ink Pads in the NEW 2026-2028 In Colors will be available to order 5 May 2026!
Check out the new In Colors!
– Crisp Cantaloupe
– Barely Blush
– Golden Glow
– Peaceful Pine
– Hydrangea Hue
Aren’t they so pretty?! I’m looking forward to getting to preorder these – SOON! – so I can show them to you “in person”!!
