Stampin’ Up!’s Product of the Month strikes again! This month (May 2026) , it’s the beautiful Berry Botanical Vellum 12 x 12 Specialty Paper. Receive 12 sheets, three each of four designs. Add this product to your shopping cart for just $5 when your online purchase totals $75 or more (before tax, shipping, and any redeemed rewards). Limit one per customer. Available while supplies last.
I love patterned papers because there are just some many ways to use them and pair them with other stamping products from your collection. Today’s card features an “embossed” background using April’s Product of the Month: The Eyelet Blooms Die. The sentiment comes from Stampin’ Up!’s Lovelye Arrangements Photopolymer Stamp Set.

This is what happens when I’m working on several projects at a time! My craft table (an extended dining room table) is covered with an array of projects in mid-completion. I’ve been playing with Stampin’ Up!’s new Product of the Month (the Eyelet Blooms Die), while designing for this week’s in-person classes using the Forever Florals Bundle. And, I have remnants from last month’s class using the Lovely Arrangements Bundle. All those pieces came together on this thank you card.
Each month, Stampin’ Up! releases a new and exclusive Product of the Month. When your online shopping card total reaches $75 (before tax, shipping, and any redeemed rewards), you can purchase the Product of the Month for just $5. Limit of one per customer. Available while supplies last.

In today’s post, I combine Stampin’ Up!’s Notes of Spring Photopolymer Stamp Set with the flip flap tri-fold fun fold. The Notes of Spring is Stampin’ Up!’s March Product of the Month.

I’ve used this fun fold with several other Stampin’ Up! bundles, so it’s fun to experiment with this new stamp set. I’ve paired it with the Nature Walk 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper.
Here’s what the inside looks like:
