Wild Bunch Highland Cow

Wild Bunch Highland Cow

I love how on-trend Stampin’ Up! is with its images and stamp sets. The Highland Cow is a popular home decor item right now. So, it’s super fun to see it available as a stamp in the Wild Bunch Photopolymer Stamp Set. It’s Stampin’ Up!’s June Product of the Month. When your online order total reaches $75 or more (before tax, shipping, and any redeemed rewards), purchase this stamp set for just $5. One per customer. Available while supplies last.

Here’s a cute treat package I created with the Highland Cow stamp and a hand sanitizer I purchased at Bath and Body Works.

Who can resist the cute little creatures in Stampin’ Up!’s new Wild Bunch Photopolymer Stamp Set? It’s the June Product of the Month. Each month, Stampin’ Up! releases an exclusive, new product.

I paired the sweet animals in this set with the Painted Patterns 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. Stampin’ Up! offers these papers in the color collections of Brights, Regals, Neutrals, Subtles, 2026-2028 In Colors, and Basics.

Balloon Festoon Swap Card

Balloon Festoon Swap Card

I just returned from Stampin’ Up!’s annual incentive trip. This year, we took an Alaskan cruise. It’s such an honor to earn and take a trip like this. Less than 1 percent of demonstrators achieve this, but I’m so fortunate to be sharing and offering something I love.

On each trip, demonstrators are encouraged to bring a card to swap with other demonstrators. Even though 277 demonstrators took the trip, not all of them swap. And, from all of the swaps, we get a sampling of 15.

Today, I want to share the card I created for the swap. It uses a combination of Stampin’ Up!’s Balloon Festoon Bundle and the Playful Packaging Bundle. I really wanted to try to use the dies in a different way.

  • Stamped dots from Balloon Festoon stamp set randomly with Petal Pink ink
  • Balloon from Balloon Festoon Dies die cut with Brights Painted Patterns 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper (Daffodil Delight dotted pattern)
  • Die cut two of the smaller scallop pieces (Playful Packaging Dies) from Bloom Boutique 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper (Hydrangea Hue pattern. The 2026-2028 In Color-Hydrangea Hue-Painted Patterns also works.) I trimmed about 1/2 inch off each of the flat sides before adhering to card base.
  • Sentiment (Balloon Festoon) stamped in Hydrangea Hue on Petal Pink cardstock, die cut with label from Stylish Shapes Dies
  • Hydrangea Hue ribbon
  • Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Balloon Festoon Gift Card Holder

Summer is definitely the wedding season. So I thought I would share a quick and easy gift card and/or money holder created with Stampin’ Up!’s Balloon Festoon Bundle. I grabbed some of the black and white designs from the Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper and added some gold foil balloons. This color combination also works as a graduation gift card holder. Change the colors, and it can be used for any occasion.

Playful Packaging & Silly Safari Monkey

Oh, my gosh, isn’t this just the cutest? This monkey from Stampin’ Up!’s Silly Safari is a perfect fit for the Laffy Taffy banana-flavored candy. I used the Playful Packaging Bundle to create this treat bag. Find this bundle in the May-August 2026 Mini Catalog. From the picture in the catalog, this bundle doesn’t seem all that attractive. In fact, I didn’t order it at first — even though I love creating treat packaging. I borrowed it from a friend and then purchased my own because it’s been so much fun!

Be sure to watch the video below to see how these packets come together. In addition, I show a variety of other samples.
