Wild Bunch Happy Birthday Card

Wild Bunch Happy Birthday Card

I just got this Wild Bunch Stamp Set a few days ago because I ordered late since we were on our cruise. Also, it seems like June just started, but it’s 3/4’s over! I can barely keep up! I saw that this Wild Bunch Stamp Set, the June Product of the Month, is sold out already. However, maybe you already have it and are looking for ideas. While the English version is sold out, the French version is still available! It doesn’t matter what language the stamp set is in for the cute animals, but of course the sentiments will be in French. But you can substitute from your other stamp sets.

To get the Product of the Month, you must spend $75 on Stampin’ Up! products and then only pay $5 for the Product of the Month. You must have your own Stampin’ Up! account.

For this first card using the Wild Bunch Stamp Set, the Wild Bunch Happy Birthday Card, I used Pecan Pie cardstock for the card base. The fold is at the top of the card, but you can put it on the side as usual. The pattern layered as the background is in the Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper. I wouldn’t have thought, “I think I’ll use the paper with tiny white flowers on it for my card,” but once I saw it in the package, I thought it would be cute with this little koala bear. Koalas aren’t really bears, they are marsupials.

The koala is stamped on Basic White cardstock with Memento Ink and colored in with Stampin’ Blends. You can use whatever colors you like. I’m not an expert on what colors various animals should be! He was fussy-cut after I colored him.

The background for the koala are two Scalloped Blooms Dies, one in Pecan Pie and one in a striped paper in the Lovely Blossoms Designer Paper. I put the stripes on a slight diagonal rather than trying to have them straight. The koala is popped up on the scallops along with a little gift colored in Pool Party.

The greeting is stamped in Pecan Pie ink on Basic White and then just flagged one end. The greeting is in the Wild Bunch Stamp Set.

For some final embellishments, I used a few of the Crumb Cake pearls in the Pearls of Beauty Pack.

I stamped and colored all the animals so they would be ready when I want to make another Wild Bunch card!

Painted Illusions Just a Note Card

Painted Illusions Just a Note Card

Stampin’ Up! released a new Product of the Month today, Notes of Spring, but here is a card made with the Product of the Month from February. I just recently got this paper in my order so here is my first card I made with it. It’s the Painted Illusions Just a Note Card made with the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper. With any order of $75 or more, you can choose a Product of the Month (POM) for only $5!

This paper features soft watercolor gradients in several colors – pink, green, blue, teal, and yellow – with white patterns that flow over the background. So pretty and so different! This paper, on its own, would make beautiful scrapbook pages, along with cards and other projects.

This card starts with a base of Petal Pink one of the coordinating colors. You could also use any of these colors as well: Darling Duckling, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Lost Lagoon, Misty Moonlight, Pretty Peacock. I kept the card very simple with just a layer of the whimsical swirls of colors plus a greeting. The greeting is stamped in Petal Pink from the Simply Said Stamp Set. This is a great stamp set to have for a variety of greetings you will use over and oveer again.

The greeting is diecut with a small circle in the Stylish Shapes Dies to layer on a Petal Pink layer diecut with the Spotlight on Nature Dies. It is popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals with some white ribbon adhered back and forth underneath. This particular narrow white ribbon is retired, but you probably have other ribbon in your stash you can use! For a little irresistible sparkle, I added several of the Pearlized Faceted Circles in Petal Pink to the greeting and card front.

Sometimes the designer paper is pretty enough on its own that you don’t need to make too much else on the card. I think these colors will be pretty for spring and maybe even Easter cards and projects as well!

POM Fabulous Sayings Stamp Set Jan 2026

New Product of the Month

The Product of the Month is a new special promotion Stampin’ Up! started last month in December. The Product of the Month items are specially designed to be some of the best items Stampin’ Up! has to offer that aren’t available in any of our catalogs or our Online Exclusives. Every month they will release a new item that is only available for purchase once per account. These items will be limited quantity and are likely to sell out quickly—once they’re sold out, they’re gone for good! Spend $75 and purchase the Product of the Month (POM) for only $5.00!

The January 2026 Product of the Month is this Fabulous Sayings Stamp Set! Looks like a good one to have to me! We always want more sentiments to use! Or while it is still available, you could choose the December POM, the True Blue Florals Designer Series Paper instead if you don’t already have it.

I hope you enjoy all these fun new products! It makes a long blog post but it sure is fun to have so many new Stampin’ Up! products to dream about owning!
