NEW June Product of the Month

If you love exclusive products, you’re going to love Product of the Month, a promotion centered around a special product release every month. The Product of the Month items are specially designed to be some of the best items Stampin’ Up! has to offer that aren’t available in any of our catalogs or our Online Exclusives. Every month we’ll release a new item that is only available for purchase once per account. These items will be limited quantity and are likely to sell out quickly—once they’re sold out, they’re gone for good!

Available June 2, 2026:

Stampin’ Up! Account. To participate in Product of the Month, you MUST have a Stampin’ Up! account. 

A New Product Every Month. Stampin' Up! will release a new Product of the Month item every month. You can view the newly released products on the Product of the Month page. 

Qualifying Amounts. You can purchase the Product of the Month item for only $5 when you spend $75 or more in a single order. Your cart total MUST be $75 or more at checkout to qualify. You cannot add the Product of the Month to your cart until you’ve reached the qualifying amount. If you use Stampin’ Rewards, coupons, or discount codes on your order and your cart amount falls below $75, you’ll need to add items in your cart to get the total at or above the qualifying amount again. 

Available Until Sold Out. Product of the Month products will be available until they’re sold out. Once they’re sold out, they won’t be available for purchase again. If you didn’t qualify to purchase the Product of the Month during the month it was first offered and it’s still available in the following months, you can purchase that product once you reach the qualifying amount. So, if you didn’t qualify in January but you qualify in February, you can choose to buy the January Product of the Month, provided it’s still available for purchase and you meet the qualifying amount. If you buy the January Product of the Month but still want the February Product of the Month, you’ll need to qualify again.

Stampin' Blends vs Watercolor Pencils

When you make a card, how do you know what coloring medium to use?  We have so many different ways to color.  For today's experiment I'm going to focus on Stampin' Blends and Watercolor Pencils.  Let's start with asking the question what look do you want?  Stampin' Blends will naturally give you a brighter, smoother finish.  While, Watercolor Pencils will leave you with a softer look.  Let's dive into this card made identically, but with different coloring mediums.  NOTE: when I made these cards I didn't have the new Hybrid ink so I'll list and explain the inks I used.  I'm using the Make A Wish Set.  Grab this in my Online Store today, it's sooooo cute! First up is Stampin' Blends.  

For my blends card I stamped all my images in Memento.  Memento ink works brilliantly with Stampin' Blends.  I stamped the fence and stones on a 5" x 3 3/4" piece of Basic White.  The well, bushes, flowers and duck were stamped on another piece and fussy cut after coloring, yes fussy cut, sorry there are no dies for this set.  This is the same process for the pencil card too.  

Check the supply list linked below for all the colors used.  Stampin' Blends are vibrant and bold.  The coloring is smooth and clean.  You can miss with coloring with Stampin' Blends. The downside, you have to have a lot of colors, especially for this card.  That could be quite an investment.  

 

Let's dive into the Watercolor Pencil card.  Like I mentioned above I stamped everything the same and I used Basic White Cardstock.  Would I typically use Basic White when water coloring, no!  But, with the pencils you're not adding a lot of water, in fact you can even color with a Wink Of Stella Brush or Blender Pen (note: our Blender Pens are NOT Stampin' Blends).  So, because a lot of water isn't needed our white cardstock is fine.  That being said, you need to be diligent NOT to add a lot of water to the cardstock.  For these images I stamped them in StazOn Ink.  I'll be honest, I hate StazOn.  I don't like the way it stamps, it's sometimes hard to get a clean solid image.  Maybe that's just me, but I'm not a fan of StazOn but to water color you need to use a waterproof ink.  

You can see the softer, muted tone that the pencils give.  Can you get bold, intense color with the Watercolor Pencils.  Yes, of course.  But it takes more layers and more time.  But if softer if what you're going for this is a winner!  Additionally, the cost of the pencils is far cheaper than the cost of the blends.  You can get both packages of our Watercolor Pencils for less than three colors of our Stampin' Blends.  If you're just getting into coloring this is a great cost effective option.  

For both cards I lightly ink blended the background, sky and ground.  So what's the verdict?  Are you team Stampin' Blends or Watercolor Pencils?  Do you have someone in your life who would prefer one over the other?  This was a fun comparison, I hope you enjoyed it.  I have two supply lists linked below. One for each card.  The measurements for both cards are identical.

Best Days Are Together Card

I am still completely obsessed with the Silly Old Bear collection of products.  This is one of my favorite cards!  Like int he book this card reminds me when they're jumping off the page.  The DSP map on the left gives the vintage book vibes.  The images are stamped in Memento and colored with Stampin' Blends.  For a full list of colors check the supply list linked below.

I gold heat embossed my greeting to add some extra texture to the card.  I love this look.  Overall, it's a simple card but it couldn't be any cuter.

Today I cannot get over this color combo.  I'm soooo obsessed with it!  We're using Bubble Bath, Poppy Parade, and the new Hydrangea Hue.  These colors just give summertime vibes.  For the background I used stripes of cardstock in different widths.  I mounted all my stamped and die cut pieces on some vellum to make them pop off the card.

Next up is maybe my favorite card of the week, but we have some good ones still to come.  This one is a fun fold card that features our Two Toned Cardstock.  I LOVE our Two Toned Cardstock.  It's such an easy way to add depth with one product!  To make the waves I simply tore a piece of 6" x 4" Pool Party Two Toned Cardstock in half and used the dark shade on top and the lighter on bottom.  No waste and you get some much depth and shading.  Plus, our Two Toned Cardstock has a white base so you also get that beautiful torn look that adds to the waves.

The float and the ball were stamped and die cut.  For the float I used Melon Mambo, I stamped off the base layer for a lighter shade.  For the ball I used Daffodil Delight and Darling Duckling.  The two tones really makes these images pop!   Inside the card I did some Ink Blending.  Crumb Cake on the bottom for the beach and Coastal Cabana on top for the sky/water.  You can check out more of the INCREDIBLE dies in this bundle.  I can't get enough of them! Plus, I included one inside the card too.  Never go to the beach without your sunblock!
