Stampin’ Up! Product of the Month

I really struggled with this card.

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.

DIAGONAL GATEFOLD CARD + A VIDEO

February 26, 2026February 26, 2026 Jenny Hayward

This card might look complicated but it’s really not. It’s called a Diagonal Gatefold Card. You can create it with the card and paper you like. For this one I have used the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper.

You open it out. This is the inside. I love the angled look.

Here is another one using the same paper pack, but just doing that that can change it up a lot by using different colours.

It really is easy and I can show you. I share the measurements in Metric and Inches for you.

Follow along with the Video -> HERE.

Hope you get to try one yourself.

The Painted Illusions Paper is this month’s Product of the Month.

Happy Crafting,

DON’T DITCH THOSE HEARTS FROM THE STAMPIN’ UP! CUTEST CREW SET ~

February 16, 2026February 16, 2026 Jenny Hayward

I have just received the Cutest Crew Bundle that will be starting in March. It is very cute. And I discovered something fun when I was using it.

Firstly, the card and I will tell you about it.

I’m not much for colouring but I am trying to work on it. I coloured the cute dogs with Stampin’ Blends. The paper circle is from the Painted Illusions pack.

The Cutest Crew has a row of dogs like this, a row of cats and then 3 birds. It has some cute dies for them all. It will be available as an Online Exclusives starting in March. I think it is going to be popular.

Something I discovered though. When I diecut the red paw print strip those larger “bits” looked like hearts. So I added them to the card. It just adds to the cuteness. Don’t waste those little hearts.

You can see the Cutest Crew Bundle in March. I will play with it more very soon too. So much to play with not enough time. Do you find that?

If you need supplies and you are in Australia head to my store and you can grab your goodies. Head -> HERE. OR contact me directly and I can help you out.

PAINTED ILLUSIONS PAPER + WITH YOU IN MIND!

February 6, 2026February 6, 2026 Jenny Hayward

More with the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper. I kept it simple again highlighting the wavy paper and bold colours.

The Happy Birthday is from the ‘With You In Mind’ Stamp Set. I stamped it on white card (it is white…) and then diecut it with one of the Textured Notes Dies. It was wider than the width of the card so I trimmed it down. Having the edging top and bottom of that piece adds some extra detail and texture.

Take a closer look at the “flowery” shape in the circle. Rather than just simply stamping it I added extra colour. Firstly, it was inked in Granny Apple Green and then I used a dauber to add some Pretty in Peacock in areas over it. You only need a little dab of ink. Then it was diecut with one of the small circles in the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Then I added some Rhinestones for the finish. You could add more to this card if you like to but I just kept it simple for the paper.

The Painted Illusions Paper is February Product of the Month.

With Product of the Month you can receive this with your qualifying order. In Australia when your order reaches $125 then you can purchase the Product for $9. There is only One per person. And While Supplies Last. Check your market for the qualifying amount.

STAMPIN’ UP! PRODUCT OF THE MONTH IS HERE~

December Product of the Month has just been released. This is the gorgeous True Blue Florals 12″x12″ Designer Series Paper.

What do you think??

Here are some projects with this paper. I will be back later to share more with you.

With this one below the lined flowers were fussy cut from one of the papers. It looks so great. The other smaller flowers were cut from another pattern and the centres coloured in yellow.

Use your paper as the card base as a different option.

This one below uses 3 patterns from the paper. And those lovely flowers from the Pretty Florals Bundle but you could use any stamps/dies.

That about a patchwork design. It’s a great way of showing off the different patterns. For this one diecut a number of squares. Having the “dotted” edge from the Stylish Shapes gives a good effect but you could cut your squares with a Paper Trimmer. With the paper squares and some of the white square cut them in half diagonally. I would suggest then laying the pieces out in your patchwork look pattern before you adhere them down. And a TIP: maybe cut a piece of card the same size as your finished piece and adhere the white triangles and paper triangles directly to them to make it easier.

Don’t miss out on your Product of the Month this month. But remember these are WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.

If you need to shop for your supplies and you are in Australia then I would love to help you get them. You can head to my store -> HERE OR Contact me directly.
