I’m welcoming May with my favorite suite in the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog, Beautiful Gallery. It’s featured on pages 52-57, and can be ordered beginning May 6th. The beautiful Gallery Designer Paper is amazing, and I created two cards from one 6X6″ piece, cut with a Gallery Blooms Die for framing.

Framed Roses
The Gallery Blooms Die is in one piece, but cuts two frames at the same time. I used Gold Foil to frame both of the rose paintings.The larger frame has a card base of Mossy Meadow Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The sentiment, “thanks,” is from the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set, cut with its Wonderful Thoughts Die.

The smaller frame has a background of Woven Textures Designer paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″, glued to a Basic Beige card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. I completed the card with the same Wonderful Thoughts “thanks.” The photo shows how I stamped and cut the word, for an exact color match.

Be sure to “opt in” to receive Stampin’ Rewards. May 2-3, you’ll receive 2X Rewards!!!!

Ordering from the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog begins May 6th.

I love sketch challenges! For this week’s Global Design Project sketch challenge, I thought it would be fun to give the Textured Notes Bundle some bright colors. I stamped the small, Textured Notes stamp in five colors: Fresh Freesia, Pretty In Pink, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, and Summer Splash. After stamping, I used a Textured Notes Die for cutting, and placed them on Dimensionals. The background is kept Basic White Cardstock to show off the colors. I used the largest Textured Notes Die for cutting, and glued it to a Thick Basic White card base , 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Colorful Textured Notes
“Wishing” and “you a happy birthday” are from the Delightful Wishes Bundle. I used dies to cut the word “wishing” from Basic Black Cardstock, and the backing from Basic White Cardstock. After gluing them together, I glued them across the five, colorful, Textured Notes die-cuts.

“You a happy birthday” was stamped in Memento Black Ink on Thick Basic White Cardstock, and cut with a Textured Notes Die. The final splash of color was created with a “bunch” of Adhesive Backed Shiny Sequins.

We’d love to see your creation, using this week’s sketch. Remember to add #GDP494, when you share it on social media.

I’m excited to share with you one of my favorites from the new Online Exclusives, Cheers & Sips. As a Demonstrator, I was able to pre-order, and this set was at the top of my list. The artwork and color in the coordinating Celebratory Sips Designer Paper is amazing, and mostly what I used on today’s card. You’ll be able to order it May 6th!

Cheers & Sips
Celebratory Sips DSP is a fussy cutters dream, but if you’d rather use dies, there are 15 in the Cheers & Sips Die Set. The dies cut Cheers & Sips stamped images, as well as some of the designer paper.

The glasses in this picture are much larger than those I fussy cut on the card, and are the right size for the pieces above.

After cutting and assembling the drinks, I stamped “Cheers,” from the Sips & Cheers Stamp Set, in Memento Black Ink. Then, I glued some drinks flat, and attached some with Dimensionals, on Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/2″ X 2″. I backed the strip with Berry Burst Cardstock, 5 1/2″ X 2 1/4″. The card base is Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

The card front was embossed with the Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder, which shortened the card front a bit, so I re-burnished the fold to make it even.

Last day for FREE SHIPPING APRIL 25!

For today’s arch shaped card, I began with a standard card base of Petunia Pop Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, using the largest Everyday Arches Die. I placed the die as close to the edge as possible, without cutting the fold. Then, I used the second largest Everyday Arches Die to cut the dotted, Lovely Garden Designer Paper, and glued it to the card base.

Arch Shaped Card
The flowers were created with Thankful Garden Decorative Masks, using a fun masking technique that I think you’ll enjoy. The masks are numbered 1-5, with notches for placement on the cardstock. I applied the ink colors with Blending Brushes in this order: 1. Bubble Bath 2. Fresh Freesia 3.Petunia Pop 4.Granny Apple Green 5. Garden Green. Next, I used a Thankful Garden Die for cutting the flowers, and attached them to the card front with Dimensionals.

“Thinking of you” is from the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set. I stamped it in VersaMark on Basic Black Cardstock, sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder, and used its Wonderful Thoughts Die for cutting. I added three black dots as a final touch.
