Today I tested the new Mix & Match Ephemera. The sentiments were the first out of the package, separated and then could look at them all. They are thin and I wish they were thicker BUT I still made some nice cards today!
You can find all the Mix & Match Ephemera packs HERE along with the cards/envelopes

I’m popping in for a quick post to say I will not have my regular video up this week since I’ll be cutting and sorting all the product shares this week. I’m excited to dig in to all the boxes and thanks to all who joined my shares!
Since I’m not filming this week, I’m sharing 3 Stampin’ Up home office videos of new catalog products I think you might enjoy. The first is the Mediterranean Blooms video. This designer paper is one of my favorites but while I love lemons and oranges, it’s the OTHER side that i really love!
I enjoyed watching this next video, seeing how it came from humble sketches to a full suite!
Just seeing the colors come together are inspiring
If you saw the large color wheel photo in the new catalog, this next video uses the color wheel to create different color combos:
See you next week!

May 1st is here and we can all order from the new Stampin’ Up catalog!
If you don’t have a hard copy, you can view the digital version HERE
If you like to shop visually, head over to my store HERE
In addition to our 5 new In Colors, we have a new color for our core colors!
It’s called Basic Beige. If you want to try it out, here are the order numbers:
Ink Pad #163804
Cardstock #164512
Ribbon #163788
Reinker #163815
For those that have been around a while, it is lighter than Sahara Sand with a little River Rock thrown in. It’s so pretty! I cant wait to start creating with it. I just saw this photo from a Sherwin Williams paint called Drift of Mist, which reminds me of Basic Beige a lot!
I see so many possibilities – it’s going to be a great neutral addition!

There is a cute bundle in the new catalog called Country Birdhouse. Actually there is a whole suite called Country Woods with papers, embossing folder, stamps/dies, ribbons and embellies!
Today I’m going OLD SCHOOL and making a Post-It note pad holder…
How long has it been since you made one of these? For me, at least 10 years!
I went with a yellow warbler for my bird since I liked how he looked next to the blue.
Here is what it looks like open – super easy to do and a cute lil’ gift for someone:
Here is my video showing the new bundle and project!

Hi all! This week I opened up some new dies coming out May 1st in the annual catalog.
Spotlight on Nature can be purchased as a bundle with stamp set but
I think the dies really steal the show! The dies alone are a set of 12 patterned circles
(see my video below for a close up view) $35 #163580
VIEW/PRINT PDF RECIPE WITH MEASUREMENTS HERE
This new embossing folder was quite the surprise when I opened my box!
It’s BIG, 6″ x 8-1/2″! It will be available May 1st when the annual catalog goes Live.
Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder
#163789 $12
The card I made is larger, a 5×7, and the supersized embossing folder is great for that!
I love the inside! The largest circle is about 3-7/8″ and on the larger card, really stands out.
I stamped with the Textured Floral bundle and I’m so glad it’s carrying over into the new catalog!

The 5 new SU In Colors will be available on May 1st! These 5 trendy colors will be around for 2 years and available in cardstock, designer papers, ribbons, embellishments and INKS!
Today I spent the day in the stamp room comparing the 5 new ink colors to our current and past inks.
I’ll always recommend buying new cardstock to add some fresh color to your projects.
But do you really need the 5 new Ink colors? Or can you use what you have?
This is what my floor looked like as I went thru MANY retired ink colors!
I sure wish I had some of the little pads from when I signed up 25 years ago but I donated them some time ago.
Still, I think I found some good matches!
Don’t forget the Last Chance Sale is still going on until April 30th!
You can see what has been marked down for clearance HERE

Basic Borders #155558 $29
Hi all! This week I’m using one of my favorite die sets, Basic Borders!
It’s retiring soon, while supplies last, AND they will be on sale on April 9th if they are still available!
If you don’t already have some practical border dies, these will be marked down to $17.40!
I paired up the border dies with Cheerful Daisies, an annual catalog bundle, and it’s carrying over to the new catalog! They won’t be a bundled price in the new catalog so if you are considering them, grab them while you can save $6.
Cheerful Daisies Bundle $53 #161297
VIEW/PRINT RECIPE PDF WITH MEAUSUREMENTS HERE
This pretty designer paper will be retiring. It’s called Fresh As A Daisy, 12 x 12, and I used this sheet to make the card below. No stamping needed except for the sentiment. I didn’t use the border dies on this one but I liked it so wanted to share:
Well, a little stamping on the inside of the card:) The sentiment is from a stamp set not in a catalog called Comforting thoughts. It says what is hard to say when someone has cancer or is sick.
COMFORTING THOUGHTS #163691 $20
I’ll be back here on Tuesday for the big sale!
With 2 catalogs retiring, there are a lot of items on the last chance list!
Sales Period: April 9 – 30, 2024
