Last day of this Mini Series. 5 Minutes, 5 Days, 5 Ways with the Opulent Oasis Bundle.
See some other ways to stamp with the stamps and dies in this set.
This is the card I created.
You can make your own background paper. You could use different colours for the stamps and dies or as I have using one colour. I chose Smoky Slate as a subtle background.
The flower was stamped in Strawberry Slush and the leaves in Granny Apple Green. The smaller diecut leaves were in Old Olive.
Thanks for following along with this mini Series. Let me know what you think? Would you like to see more like this?

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,

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

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.
JOIN OFFER
Speaking of Ink Pads, I have to mention this now. You can receive the set of 5 In Color Ink Pads as a bonus for this month when you join Stampin’ Up!
In Australia it is $169 and receive $235 of Products PLUS the Set of Ink Pads. (They retail at $112.50). This is a great added bonus.
If you don’t want the Ink Pads you can choose an additional $65 of products instead on top of the $235 of products you already received. And all at your own choice.
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.
I can finally share these cards with you – and the video. It’s been a busy time over the last few weeks so it has been hard to get time to share them.
These are One Sheet Wonder Style cards. They are so easy to create. Make 4 cards all in one go. Some simple random stamping and cut. Add then add to Card Bases and Card Mats and add diecut pieces and you are done. Oh and add a sentiment too.
These were the cards I created as Swaps for Onstage last month so they were quick to make a lot. I have put together a video to show you how it is done. A written Tutorial will be sent out to my newsletter subscribers tomorrow.
You could use any stamps and dies for this idea – Flowers, Butterflies, Seashells. Use what you have.
It’s a new month which means a new Product of the Month. Have you seen it?
For April it is the Eyelet Blooms Die. It is so pretty. It is one full die piece with delicate details over it. You can create focal detail to the front of your projects. You can gently lift some of the flower petals up. You could also snip those little flowers off to add to the card.
The Eyelet Blooms Die measures 11.1 x 15.2 cm Or 4 3/8″ x 6″.
Let’s see some projects made with this die by Stampin’ Up! Artists.
This one below add leaves from another die set to add extra elements. It is really sweet.
Even just use part of the diecut for a different addition.
So the question is – How does the Product of the Month work?
You can receive the Product of the Month item when your order reaches over the qualified level. In Australia it is $125. Pay an additional $9 and select that item.
$9 is a pretty good value for a detailed die like this.
If you need supplies yourself and would love this (Or choose any other of the Product of the Month items available) then you can head to my store -> HERE. Or contact me and I can help you out.
I had the little puppies coloured for a few weeks. Then to put the card together I couldn’t get it to work where I was happy with it. I probably redid this card 4 times.
Here it is though. Because we can share the good, the bad and the ugly.
I diecut the banner from the Painted Illusions Paper but the background… Do I add a strip of card? The colours weren’t working. I diecut the strip? Still not great. Do I emboss the white card mat. One time the embossing just wouldn’t work with the paper. It seemed too busy for the pattern on the paper. Maybe I was overthinking it all.
So I settled on this. I’m still not sure about it but I think it is the better option. 😁
What are your thoughts? Should I change the colour? Maybe file it in the bin? HAHA! At the end of the day the puppies are cute. 😊
Oh! And if you hadn’t seen the stamps and dies bundle before it’s the Cutest Crew Bundle.
The diecut banner is from the Party Banners Dies. And another one I have had for a while and this was the first time using it … The White card is embossed with the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder.
If you need the cute little puppies and kittens in your crafting life you can see them more -> HERE.
You can shop there if you are in Australia OR Contact me directly and I would love to help you out.
