Yay, let’s celebrate! It’s National Pink Flamingo Day (June 23). It’s a perfect day for me, a collector of all things flamingo. And, how fitting that there’s a brand-new stamp set (Birthday Song) that features flamingos (and walruses). The set is available July 1 with the release of Stampin’ Up!’s July Online Exclusives. Look for lots of other brand-new product including items for Halloween, fall, and Christmas.

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.

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.
