NEW Catalog Launch & NEW Online Exclusive Launch!


Starting May 5, 2026 we are launching the NEW May-August 2026 Catalog!!  Also launching on May 5, 2026 a NEW round of Online Exclusives!  They're amazing!!  

You can now shop for brand new In Colors, bundles, papers and more!!  

To see the list of NEW Online Exclusives check this out.  

Head to my Online Store to start shopping on May 5, 2026!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NEW May 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 May 5, 2026:

Berry Botanical Vellum 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Specialty Designer Series Paper

Add a fresh, artful touch to cards and paper crafts with Berry Botanical Vellum 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Specialty Designer Series Paper. Hand-drawn patterns featuring polka dots, plaids, and berries make it easy to create custom designs with a playful, coordinated look.



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.

Silly Old Bear Sneak Peek Fun Fold Card

One of my very favorite products launching on May 5 is the Silly Old Bear Suite.  It will launch on May 5, 2026 in the Online Exclusives.  I'm obsessed!!  My first Class To Go in May will feature this bundle.  The cards are soooooo cute!  This card will not be part of the Class To Go. If you love this suite too make sure you grab it on May 5, when it's available.  The suite has two bundles (Sweet Words and Labels Bundle and Sweet Old Friends Bundle), DSP, and an embossing folder.  We're using it all-except the embossing folder, but you'll need that too! Let's dive into this card.  I stamped the image and colored it in with some new Stampin' Blends.  I used Golden Glow for Pooh and Barely Blush and Peaceful Pine for Piglet.

The DSP is amazing.  There's adorable scenes and characters on one side but the other side is classic, vintage patterns that I love and they're perfect for any project.  Not just project featuring the stamps.  The label dies are incredible.  They're a fun unique shape.  Of course, I had to make this a fun fold because they're my favorite!

Bloom Boutique Sneak Peek Fun Fold Card

Today I have a sneak peek of some new products.  LOTS on this card are new and coming next week in the New Catalog Launch on May 5th! Today I'm sharing two new bundles, new DSP, new embellishments and four new In Colors!  WOW!  All of the products (In Color Ink and cardstock not included) are part of the same suite.  So if you love this card, make sure to add the Bloom Boutique Suite to your wishlist.  

staampin up, bloom boutique

Let's start with the two bundles.  The floral stamps and dies are part of the Boutique Blossom Bundle.  These dies are amazing!  The stamps are just as gorgeous!  This bundle doesn't have any greetings so you'll want the coordinating Scalloped Blooms Bundle.  The stamp set is full of incredible greetings, while the dies contain a set of layering scalloped circles and other label dies.  I can't stop using them!  The butterfly embellishment is new, part of the In Color Butterflies Embellishments.  You'll get butterflies in all of the new In Colors and some white ones too! 

stampin up, bloom boutique

Let's talk DSP and new colors now! The DSP is the Bloom Boutique DSP and it's amazing! The gold accents on it really make it special.  I love that it has some smaller patterns, I'm going to keep using this over and over and over again!  The card has four new In Colors on it, Barely Blush, Golden Glow, Peaceful Pine and Crisp Cantaloupe.  I can't get enough of all of these colors!

Once again we're fussy cutting the astronaut.  If you don't want to fussy cut it you can stamp it directly in the open space of the moon.  You know I love fussy cutting so this didn't bother me a bit.  There is some room to write a greeting on the back.

Moon & Back Stamp Set Fun Fold Class To Go-Day 3-VIDEO

Welcome to another Class To Go!  This class will feature the super cute Moon & Back Stamp Set.  You can earn this Class To Go FREE April 16-30, 2026 with a $50 minimum order in my Online Store.

The featured embellishment this week are the Wonderful Stars Puffy Stickers.  Receive an entire package FREE when your order is over $150.  

What if we made the moon the O in 'love'?  That was my thought with this card.  I love it!  This card packs a punch, the center panel pops up when you open it.  It's so interactive and fun!  Full disclosure-this card uses some Last Chance products.  I'm super bummed about them because they're some of my favs!  At the time of typing this these products were still available.  If you love them too shop my Online Store for them now! The Lights Of Aurora DSP is the first and it's discounted!  Next is the Branching Out Dies--nooo!  These dies are amazing!  They're also discounted-get them while you can!  Finally, the Alphabet A La Mode Dies are retiring too-I'm so sad about these!  UGH!  I love these dies!  Also discounted (significantly!)-grab 'em while you can!

I created a window in the front of the card with the Branching Out Dies.  Inside the card the label is popped up so when you open the card it separates from the front of the card but pops up on it's own.  So fun!  This is one of my very favorite card designs.  Big impact, with little work.  

To make the stars coordinate better I used Stampin' Blends to color them.  This is such a good technique to alter embellishments and ribbons.

Moon & Back Stamp Set Fun Fold Class To Go-Day 2-VIDEO

This card is so much fun!  The video might be a hot mess but the card is soooo cute!!!  I love this fold.  I saw this on Lisa's Stamp Studio here and had to give it a try.  The Moon & Back set was perfect and the Nature Walk DSP coordinates so well.  Doesn't it look like a far off galaxy!?  There is some strategic scoring and trimming for this card.  I made a cutting/scoring diagram for the card base and DSP. I hope that helps.  Use some scratch paper to practice on first if you're feeling a little unsure.

I'm loving this color combo for this stamp set.  Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon.  I love it!  I added some twine to finish the card.  This fold is pretty spectacular, it doesn't need much to stand out.  Inside the card I stamped the astronaut, a fun surprise detail inside.
