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 dots and stripes patterns provide a path to easy card making.
