Well – happy Sunday, y’all! OnStage is in the books – we saw some amazing new things – learned new coloring techniques, new project ideas – it was pretty wonderful! I can’t WAIT for you to see what’s coming to you SOON! 🎉 I’m spending a couple hours with my brother this morning and then will head to the airport to wing my way back to Georgia! These events always just FLY by! 🥺 I’m already looking forward to next year!
Today’s card is a fun fold – made so by just ONE slightly different cut on the card base – which makes it a super EASY fun fold! And – I decorated this one with gorgeous Brushed With Beauty DSP and flowers from the coordinating Petals of Beauty bundle. Sentiments in a gorgeous font, from the Forever Florals stamp set, sends the perfect message. Take a look-see:
I started by scoring a 4 1/4″ x 8″ piece of Petal Pink cardstock at the 4 1/4″ mark. Then I folded the card to create the card base.
On the inside, I stamped a Forever Florals sentiment in Mossy Meadow on a 2″ x 3 7/8″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.
I inked the small detailed flower image from the Petals of Beauty stamp set in Calypso Coral ink, stamped it once on scrap paper and then (without re-inking) stamped it in the corner of the panel. I inked the second “fill” image in Petal Pink ink and – using a Sponge Dauber – tap-tap-tapped all over the image and stamped it over the top of the first image. Using this method gives you an ink saturation of LESS than full-strength but MORE than stamped-off-once. Or – in the immortal words of Goldilocks….it’s “Juuuuust right!”
I stamped the flower center in Darling Duckling and then adhered the panel to the top of a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Calypso Coral cardstock – leaving a “normal” reveal around the top and sides.
On the bottom of the Calypso Coral mat, I adhered a 3″ x 3 7/8″ piece of Brushed With Beauty DSP with Liquid Glue – keeping the reveal on the bottom and sides. Then I adhered the entire panel to the inside of the card with Liquid Glue.
For the back of the card, I inked the large detailed flower image from the Petals of Beauty stamp set in Calypso Coral ink and stamped it in the corner of a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. Then I inked the second “fill” image in Petal Pink ink. Using a Sponge Dauber – I tap-tap-tapped all over the image and stamped it over the top of the first image.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the back of the card base.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the 2 1/8″ x 3 7/8″ piece of Brushed With Beauty DSP on a Calypso Coral mat. Then I adhered it to the top front flap of the card base with Liquid Glue.
On a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped a Forever Florals sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink. With the largest Stylish Shapes square die, I cut out the image – keeping the sentiment near the top of the square.
With Liquid Glue on the top half of the die cut, I adhered it to the top flap of the card base. Note – be sure you don’t put glue too far down the shape! 🙂
On a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped a leaves image from Petals of Beauty in Mossy Meadow ink and cut it out with the coordinating die from the set.
I also inked the large and small detailed flower images from the Petals of Beauty stamp set in stamped-off-once Calypso Coral ink and stamped them on the Very Vanilla cardstock. For each of the flowers, I again inked the second “fill” image in Petal Pink ink. Using a Sponge Dauber – I tap-tap-tapped all over the image and stamped it over the top of the first image.
Then I stamped the flower center image in Darling Duckling ink and cut them out with the coordinating dies from the set.
.
I used two dies in the set to cut out a Vellum Specialty Paper leaf bough and an Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper bough.
Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the two boughs to the sentiment square – being sure they didn’t extend past the edges of the card base.
I adhered the Mossy Meadow leaves and the small flower with Liquid Glue.
On the back of the large die cut flower, I used Stampin’ Seal to adhere a loop-d-loop of White with Gold 3/8″ Ribbon. Then I adhered the whole thing with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I adhered five Calypso Coral Pearls of Beauty and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the large Petals of Beauty flower – in Calypso Coral and tap-tap-tapped Petal Pink on the front…
…and more of the Brushed With Beauty DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Wow – the Petals of Beauty stamp set – with the coordinating dies (no fussy cutting!) – is just one of the prettiest bundles there is! And if you’re looking for a gorgeous sentiment – the Forever Florals set will make your heart happy! AS will the Brushed With Beauty DSP – one of my fave papers in…EVER!
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. At the same time, they carefully consider costs and other important factors.

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
– Designer Series 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”!!
