Day 4 of our series – 5 Minutes, 5 Days, 5 Ways with the Opulent Oasis Bundle.
Have you seen the past videos in this series yet? You can head back to the recent posts if you missed them or would like a refresh.
In Day 4 of these videos let’s see what else you can create with this bundle using just the stamps and dies.
These are the cards I shared in the video.
Hydrangea Hue and Lemon Lime Twist have been a favourite combination recently.
Here is another simple card with these colours and using the Berry Botanicals Vellum Specialty Paper.
The Opulent Oasis Bundle is available in the May-August Catalogue. The Berry Botanicals Vellum Specialty is available as May Product of the Month.
Last Day tomorrow. Be sure to check back in. Let me know what you think of this series too. Would you like to see other Bitesize video series on a bundle or technique?
Happy Crafting,
Jenny

Day 3 of our series – 5 Minutes, 5 Days, 5 Ways with the Opulent Oasis Bundle.
These are small Bitesize videos showing how you can use the Stampin’ Up! Opulent Oasis Bundle. Day 1 looked at using the Impressions Mat with the Dies to get that extra puffiness. Then Day 2 looked at different ways of colouring the embossed/diecut images.
Day 3 I share another way of colouring with the Opulent Oasis Flower. It could be my favourite way. Be sure to check that out. If you don’t have this bundle I’m sure this could easily work with some of your other diecut flowers. Or even an embossed image. Try it out and see.
Here is the Video for Day 3.
Do you want to see more of the card.
The white outlined flower just POPS in Black. Especially against the Strawberry Slush colour. This is easy to create using the White Gel Pen. I embossed the Strawberry Slush card with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder.
I love the effect of the diecut flower but there is lovely stamped images in the set too. See how to create with these in the next 2 videos.
Happy Crafting.

Day 2 of our series – 5 Minutes, 5 Days, 5 Ways with the Opulent Oasis Bundle.
The first video I showed using the Impressions Mat. If you missed that head back a post. This video I showed some different ways of colouring the embossed/diecut flowers.
Hope you get to try these cards out. But if you don’t have the Opulent Oasis Bundle see what you have similar.
Try highlighting the flowers and leaves with Ink and a Dauber.
These 2 above used the Berry Botanicals Vellum Specialty Paper.
Or add some extra colour using Inks and Daubers. Do you think this looks like a Frangipanni Flower?
This one uses the Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Paper.
I’m bringing you a new series this week. 5 Minutes, 5 Days, 5 Ways with the Opulent Oasis Bundle. Small bitesize videos to help inspire you when creating with this bundle. But if you don’t have this bundle you might just be able to create these with other stamps/dies you have.
In this video I show you how to use the new Impressions Mat. The mat helps give a little more “puffiness” to the Impressions Dies.
Here is the video for you to follow along.
These are the cards I showed how to make.
Which colour do you like – the Crisp Canteloupe or the Strawberry Slush?
Be sure to check back with the other videos this week as I share more with this Bundle.
Here is another project with the Berry Botanical Vellum Specialty Paper. Although you could create with look with any pretty paper.
This is a great way to highlight the patterns of your paper rather than covering much of it up. Create a frame by diecutting some layering (or Nested) shape Dies. On this one I used the Nested Essentials Dies. You could use any shape though. Try square or circles or even rectangles. See what you have.
Hope you get to try this way out. It is a very quick, simple card but can be effective.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny

Below I have the photo image but I have a link just below so you can download it yourself to keep.
The Opulent Oasis Bundle has been on my desk for some weeks now. I have been having lots of fun creating with this. So why put it away …
I shared one card in a recent post. This is another similar card I have made.
I like with this set that you can simply stamp the flower and diecut or there is the additional diecut flower/leaves that you can add. I will share more with that one in later posts.
For this card I went for the Hydrangea Hue and Lemon Lime Twist colour again. Because why not! I do like those colours. I added in the Peaceful Pine leaves also.
I used the Berry Botanical Vellum Specialty Paper. This is the May Product of the Month. I have been creating a lot with this paper over the past month working for the Demonstrator Council. I will show you more projects later with this

One of my favourites. I have already showed you a card in the last post. But it is the Opulent Oasis. I love that you can create the extra dimension to some of the elements, the flowers in this one, using the Impressions Plate.
You can see this Online -> HERE. I will share more with this one later.
NEW IN COLORS
You have probably met the new 2026-2028 In Colors by now. We have Barely Blush, Crisp Canteloupe, Golden Glow, Peaceful Pine, Hydrangea Hue.
What’s your favourite? I think you know mine… Hydrangea Hue.
And there is the new design of ink pad. These are just released in the new In Colors for now and other colours will be released next year. They are much easier to open and to lift the lid off. TIP: If you lift the lid sideways it is easier. They are also magnetized so you can keep the lid under the inkpad when you are using it if you like. They stack well together too.

First play with the new Stampin’ Up! Opulent Oasis Stamps and Dies. I went simple for this first card. This bundle does have the large flowers and leaves dies you can work with the new Impressions Plate but I thought I would simply stamp the flowers and leaves first and see how they go.
Picking out some colours to use I tried these colours I found on Brian King’s Blog (HERE) I wasn’t sure about how these colours would work but that’s ok.
The colours I used were Lemon Lime Twist and Hydrangea Hue. It did have Petal Pink as another colour to work with it. I thought about adding it in but as I was making the card I left that off. Sometimes too many colours can be too much.
I do like the sentiments in the set. They are simple, versatile ones and they have a lovely font style.
I stamped the flowers and diecut them and diecut some additional leaves. These additional leaves were diecut in Granny Apple Green.
I have played a little more with this set and used the Impressions mat with it too. I will show you those soon. So be sure to check back to see them.
The Opulent Oasis Bundle will be available in the May-September Catalogue out on May 5th!! Not long now.
Hope you get to try these stamps and dies. And don’t miss out on viewing the catalogue. I will post more soon.
