Playful Packaging & Silly Safari Zebra
All I can say is: Cute, cute, cute! I've had so much fun pairing Stampin' Up!'s Playful Packaging Bundle with other products and treats to create theme small gifts. Honestly, the bundle doesn't look like much in Stampin' Up!'s May-August 2026 Mini Catalog. But, I got excited when I saw what other creators were making. Then, I bought my own. Be sure to watch the video below for some tips for using the dies and to see a host of other samples.

Playful Packaging & Waterside Retreat
Have I told you that I really, really love treat and small gift packaging? For each in person class, I create a fun table gift for the attendees to take home. I'll admit, I didn't purchase Stampin' Up!'s new Playful Packaging Bundle when it first came out. What was I thinking? Then, I borrowed it from a friend, and I was hooked. I bought my own. Oh, my gosh, it is so fun to play with. In the next few posts, I'll be sharing some of my creations. But, I can tell you, the options are almost endless. Be sure to watch the video below to see how this pieces come together. I also share a bunch of other samples. Measurements and Details Misty...

Let’s Celebrate Fun Fold
From the front, this card looks like your normal, side-opening card. But there's a little surprise. It's a little fun fold. Here's what it actually looks like when it's "open." What do you think? Cute, right? This is one reason I love Stampin' Up!'s Balloon Festoon Bundle so much. I keep finding different ways to use both the dies and the images. To make the shaped, folded card, I used a piece of Stampin' Up!'s Daffodil Delight Two-Tone Cardstock measuring 9 x 3 1/4. I folded it in half, giving it a good burnish with the Bone Folder. I then placed the folded cardstock on the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and grabbed the second largest...
Balloon Festoon Enjoy Your Day
I don't think I'll every run out of card-making ideas with Stampin' Up!'s new Balloon Festoon Bundle. Find it in the May-August 2026 Mini Catalog. The seven balloon dies make it easy to create a variety of projects. The largest balloon -- measuring 5 3/4 x 4 3/16 -- is perfect for making banners or for use on a scrapbook page. For today's card, I concentrated on the monochromatic look with just one color -- Berry Burst. I also really like the new Painted Patterns 12 x 12 Designer Series Papers. Stampin' Up! offers them in our color families of Brights, Regals, Subtles, and Neutrals as well as Basics and the 2026-2028 In Colors. The polka...
