I am so amazed by the talents of this designer and I know I will be ordering a few more packs of this paper. The watercolor images are so soft and welcoming, plus it makes creating gorgeous cards a snap.
I hope you have had a chance to check out the new online exclusive bundle from Stampin’ Up! I know you are going to love it! The Latte Love Bundle is only available online and will not be featured in the new catalog. Speaking of new catalog, the 2024-2025 new annual catalog goes live tomorrow, May 1st.
Today is the final day to purchase products from the Last chance list! Some of these items are on sale for up to 60% off! Now that is a big deal. Stop back tomorrow for the digital download of the new annual catalog.
Now back to that Latte Love Bundle! My card today was created for my upline, Brian King, was a thank you for organizing a team card swap. I will be sharing my swap card later this week and then hopingly when I receive the cards created by my teammates, I will be able to share them too! Look for that adventure toward the end of May or the beginning of June. It will all depend on when I receive my cards.
I started with a Basic White card base and added a thin layer of Pecan Pie. I used the brand new Eyelet 3-D Embossing folder that will be featured in the 2024-2025 annual catalog and ran it through my embossing machine using a piece of Boho Blue cardstock. For my cup rack, I embossed a piece of Pecan Pie with the Timber 3-D embossing folder and added it across the Boho Blue eyelet panel for a cup rack. I was really hoping this would give the look of wallpaper in a kitchen. What do you think?
I cropped the cups with the coordinating dies in the Latte Love Bundle and used a Stampin’ Dimensional to add them to the card front. I added a black dot using a Sharpie marker in the center of each hanging cup. The thank you is from the Throughout the Year stamp set and is stamped with Memento Black ink. I used my paper snips to cut an angle and added it to my card front using a few Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I am really loving this cute little bundle and hope to do a Make it Monday tutorial very soon. Don’t forget the Latte Love Bundle is only available online under the “Online Exclusives”.Happy Stamping!
Thanks for stopping by! Until next time, be blessed, Renae
Wow, I cannot I have posted over 150 videos. Click hereto view all the videos in my Make It Monday series. This week I am excited to share three cards that I created using the Flower Cart Bundle that was featured in the January- April 2024-2025 mini catalog. This stamp set and die collection will be featured in the new catalog but it won’t be a bundle, so if you want to save 10% now is the time to place that order.
This is a super sweet bundle with so many options but for today I focused on the potted plants. They are so adorable! Click below to access video and the button below that for project sheet #157-Flower Cart Bundle
I hope these cards inspire you to create something beautiful to share. There is nothing like receiving a hand-stamped card that was made with love. Happy Stamping!

Last week I posted a video from Stampin’ Up! featuring the Simply Zinnias Collection. Click here if you missed that. This is an amazing bundle and I have to admit the paper is pretty great. Here are just a few cards created by Stampin’ Up! using this collection.
I am usually not a sequin girl but I have to say they look pretty great on these card and really seem to add that needed pop! Did you know that you can purchase the colored sequins separately? I mean these are pretty colorful so you might need a second pack! Right?
These cards were all created using a little bit of everything from the collection. I am amazed at how detailed the embossing folder is. One of the tips Stampin’ Up! shared is to use watercolor paper with the embossing folder to get an even deeper detailed look. Very cool! Happy Stamping!

Check out the new online exclusive collection, Flowering Zinnias. The paper is absolutely gorgeous. Here is a look at some of the projects you can create with this fun suite. Stampin’ Up! is committed to bringing you new kit collections several times a year, so be sure to check back often and check on the online exclusive kits.
These kits are not featured in our regular catalogs as they are available while supplies last. Sometime there is a reorder of kits and sometimes not. I am not sure how that is decided, I just know if I see it and love it, I buy it!!! I encourage you to adopt my motto: See It! Love It! Buy It! and of course-Share It! You can shop 24/7 through my online store, just click here or the Shop With Me button at the end of the post.
My paper pack is on the way and I cannot wait to get crafting with it. Stop back as I am sure you will be seeing a project or two using this paper pack in the very near future.

Do you love potted plants? I do, I just cannot keep them alive, so I really love the Planted Paradise stamp set, it is totally safe for me. LOL I created three cards today with varying degrees of difficulty but all doable for the beginner stamper. All you need is a stamp set, some ink and of course our Paper Snips!
Yes, this stamp set does not come with a punch or dies and so it is a fussy cut project. Don’t worry, the images are all super easy to cut out and I cannot say it enough but our Paper Snips are the bomb and will make it so much easier for you, trust me! Actually don’t trust me, order a pair for yourself, try them out, and let me know what you think!
Wow, that was fun, three super easy cards that will bring a smile to someone’s face I am sure. So why not be that person who sends a handmade card to brighten the lives of others. After all we can change the world with one small act of kindness a day! Happy Stamping!

Enjoy creating this card with a variety of colors. I love the look of the Sketched Plaid Background stamp and Yay, it is carrying over to the new catalog.
I love the look of the Gorgeous Grape and the Melon Mambo inks together. It make a rich looking card, don’t you agree? Have fun creating, I am sure you will come up with some amazing cards to share with your family and friends. Happy Stamping!

Good morning all, not only is it Friday but it is time for another card class at Mother of Good Counsel Home, an assisted living/nursing care center in my neighborhood. It is run by the Franciscan Sisters of the Martyr St. George and it is one of my favorite card classes.
I thought I would share with you the three cards that I created for today’s class. I try to keep things as simple as I can as I typically have 10 residents attend. Some of the products you see are retired, others are not, but hey at least you get the card idea-right?
Card #1
I created the Eggs ahead of time so all the residents had to do was add them to the card front. Sorry my image looks a little dull at the bottom, I must have gotten some excess glue on it. Oh well, homemade, right?
Card #2
Stamp Set: Something Fancy
This is one of those fracture cards. I thought it would be fun and maybe just a bit too intricate, so I created the front panel ahead of time and all they have to do is stamp the thank you and add the panel to the card front. Easy Peasy!
Stamp Set: Good Feelings
This is a super easy but totally cool one. It is hard to see in the photo but there is a glitter stripe next to all the colors. I think they will like the extra bling! I hope you pull out your crafting supplies and create a card to bless someone today. Happy Stamping. Don’t forget about the retiring stamp sets, paper, tools, and bling in the mini and annual catalogs. CLICK HEREif you missed that post.
