Lovely Blossoms Squares Hello Card

Leave a reply
https://youtu.be/sUFT6mKZLCE?si=m5DqTql1Y_Tukaoy

Don’t forget about the Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper and Cardstock Sale going on now through the rest of August! There are still wonderful choices of designer series paper available at a 15% discount, but don’t delay too long! This card was made with small pieces of the Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper, which is on sale! This paper has white blooms in all sizes, along with the more generic “other sides” of the paper. Plus, there are two sheets of “cut-apart” images from larger size to small with which to make all kinds of card designs, scrapbook pages, and other papercrafting projects, maybe even as framed home decor!

This card, the Lovely Blossoms Squares Hello Card, uses the smallest little squares of different designs on one of the cut-apart sheets. I saw a Stampin’ Up!® video showing the designer series paper on the paper sale, and they talked about the little squares. I hadn’t really thought about making a card with those, so I decided I would try it!

The card base is Cloud Cover cardstock and I covered the entire front of the card base with the designer paper, cut at 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ instead of the uusal 5 1/4″ x 4″. Then I just played around with all the cut-apart squares, which are 2″ x 2″ until I had a design I liked. They are all just glued down flat on the card.

For the greeting, I didn’t want to take up too much room on the card and cover the little squares, so I found one of the hot-foiled greetings I had already made with the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies in gold. It was a good size to leave the focus on the rest of the card design. I could have “jazzed up” this card a little bit more but I kind of liked the simplicity of it with the little squares.

I still love it, but maybe I need another witch’s hat! Order yours early just in case! (Maybe since we just visited the Salem Witch Museum in Salem, MA in June and my husband has an ancestor who was hanged as a supposed witch, it’s only appropriate I get another witch hat!!!) OK, it’s already in my Cart!

Check out two new Kits in the Kits Collection today!

What a Great Product of the Month For April!

POM April 2026 Eyelet Blooms Yellow Ad

No, it’s not an April Fool’s joke! Stampin’ Up! started this new promotion back in December 2025, offering a Product of the Month for only $5.00 with a minimum $75 order, while supplies last! In the past four months we have had two stamp sets and two packages of designer series paper. For April, the offer is the Eyelet Blooms Die! When can you buy a die like this one for only $5?

“The Eyelet Blooms Die is the finishing touch you didn’t know you needed. Whether you’re crafting a card or creating a scrapbook page, it transforms the space with soft texture and refined detail. Its intricate pattern creates a full background that fills large areas beautifully for a polished, handcrafted look in one easy cut.”

You will be able to use this die lots of ways! You can diecut a piece of cardstock the same size as this die and use it that way or cut it into smaller pieces. Use just the little flowers. There will be many creative things to do with it! This is one of those dies, I think, that doesn’t cut out individual pieces, but you can use the entire thing as a background, or as I said, cut up smaller if you like. I suppose it looks a bit like quilting and there certainly are a lot of stampers also into quilting.

When you order and use any Rewards you have earned, remember those will be subtracted from your product amount, and you need to stay at or above $75 to be eligible to purchase the Product of the Month. Something will pop up on your screen when you hit the correct amount. So, depending on your order, maybe save your Rewards for a different order when you are not trying to get the Product of the Month.

Here are some details:

  • You MUST have a Stampin’ Up! account. If you need help setting up an account, you can ask me or contact Stampin’ Up! at 1-800-STAMP-UP.
  • Your cart total MUST be $75 USD or more at checkout to qualify.
  • The Product of the Month is limited to one month’s product per Stampin’ Up! account. They are only available while supplies last.
  • The only way you can qualify for Product of the Month is with a single order that reaches the qualifying amount, not several separate orders.

I could be wrong, but I think this die might be very popular for only $5 so if you really want it, better order early!

New Product of the Month For February!

POM Painted Illusions Title

Look at this gorgeous new designer series paper, Painted Illusions, available today as the February Product of the Month! Watercolors and whimsical designs! So interesting to use on many projects, including cards, scrapbook pages, gift bags, albums, and even home decor! Frame those swirly patterns for some inexpensive art in your home or craft room!

Get the Product of the Month (or even one of the past ones if still available) for only $5 with a $75 minimum order (before shipping and tax). You must also keep in mind any discounts you apply that will lower the product order amount below $75, such as applying your Stampin’ Up! Rewards or Bonus Days coupon codes. For example, if your order of products (not counting shipping and tax) comes to $80 and you apply two $5 Bonus Days coupon codes, your order amount will drop to $70 and will not be eligible for the Product of the Month. You do have one year to use your Rewards from the time you received them and you have until February 28 to use the Bonus Days coupon codes so you don’t have to rush to use them if you want to get this paper on your first order this month.

Also, you MUST have a Stampin’ Up! account that you set up yourself in order to get the Product of the Month (POM). It is easy to sign up. Be sure to opt in for Rewards and CONTACT so you will show up on my customer list, making it easy to order and mail new catalogs to you when they come out. Just look in the upper right corner of the Stampin’ Up! website for the “Sign Up” link. Click on that and then click on “Create Account” at the bottom of the Sign In box. I can help you or you can call Stampin’ Up! but you need to do it to put in your own secret password!

More Last Chance Products and of course, the first day to redeem your Bonus Days coupon codes. Watch for more information and SIGN UP for my weekly newsletter!

Here’s My Stamp Lamp!

Leave a reply
Stamp Lamp full view

Many, many years ago I went to a Stampin’ Up! convention in Salt Lake City and we got to take a side trip to Riverton, UT to see the Stampin’ Up! home office. It was great to tour the home office and see the shipping area. In the first part of the tour, there were different displays, the history of Stampin’ Up!, decorative things, I don’t remember what all. But one idea I saw was this lamp with a clear base filled with stamps! Back then we probably only had the wood-mount stamps. Just like many creative ideas I see, I HAD to have a lamp like that filled with stamps.

Eventually I found this lamp, probably on Amazon, maybe it was even before Amazon! Anyway, I bought the lamp and then, like many things, for all these years, any minute now I was going to put the stamps in it. FINALLY FINALLY the other day as I was sorting through my very old wood-mount stamps, I selected some stamps that I thought would look good inside this lamp. I thought I would just toss them inside the lamp. But it was the bottom of the lamp that was removable AND there is a rod through the middle holding the cord going to the light bulb. So there wasn’t a big open space inside the lamp base and I had to reconsider which stamps would really fit inside. It was NOT an easy job trying to fit the wood blocks inside in a curved container, keeping the center rod straight, and trying to keep the wood blocks where I was putting them! But I did get the lamp filled and arranged pretty well! I only have one boo-boo. Do you see where it is? I had to save the rest of the stamps in their cases and remember that those are the sets where the missing stamps are in the lamp.

So after all these years, here are photos of my stamp lamp with these stamps artfully (?) arranged inside as best I could! I do like it and it’s perfect in the room with all my craft stuff and retired stamp sets, paper, etc.

Stamp Lamp 2

Stamp Lamp 2

Stamp Lamp 6

And yes, you can buy a lamp like this one on Amazon! Just search for something like “clear glass base table lamp fillable”. I’ve seen people fill lamps like this with seashells, so you can certainly fill one with stamps!! Maybe I should buy another one and fill it with markers for a very colorful lamp!! Or all my leftover ribbon or embellishments! So many possibilities! LOL!

If you would like more modern stamps that Stampin’ Up! sells these days and any other stamping or scrapbooking products, remember that Stampin’ Up! has FREE SHIPPING with a minimum $75 order, today and ending on Friday, December 12.
