Simply Beautiful Bundle Class To Go-Day 1 Coloring With Stampin' Blends-VIDEO

Welcome to another Class To Go!  This class will feature the beautiful Simply Beautiful Bundle.  This bundle is on the Last Chance List grab it quick! You can earn this Class To Go FREE April 1-15, 2026 with a $50 minimum order in my Online Store. This class to go will feature four cards. Check below for all the details on earning this Class To Go. The featured embellishment this week are the Pearlized Faceted Circles.  Receive an entire package FREE when your order is over $150.

For this class to go we're going to focus on four different ways to add color to your flowers.  The Simply Beautiful Bundle that we're using today is on the Last Chance List.  If you want it make sure you grab it quick.  As of the time of typing/filming this Class To Go it was still available.  If you don't have this bundle any large floral set will do. Today, our coloring technique is Stampin' Blends.  This is probably the most popular way to color an image.  Our blends are easy to use and look incredible.  Today I'm sharing how to mix colors.  We'll use a few different colors on the petals and leaves.  It's totally ok to mix Stampin' Blends, you don't always have to stick to the light and dark of the same color.  Have fun and experiment with lots of options.  For a full color list check the supply list linked below.  

Earning the Class To Go is easy-simply place an order in my Online Store!  

There's three options:

1. Earn the Class To Go Kit FREE with a $50 order. Includes all the supplies you'll need to complete the cards.  You will have to provide ink and stamps.  Kits will NOT come prestamped  If the featured bundle includes dies or punches you'll need those as well.

For all my greetings this week I'm using the Banner Sayings.  The greetings in the Simply Beautiful Set are great, but a few of them are wedding oriented and they're bigger than I wanted so I'm pulling in the Banner Sayings which has a ton of simple, everyday greetings.

NEW March 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!

Eyelet Blooms Die
The Eyelet Blooms Die is the finishing touch you didn’t know you needed. Whether you’re crafting a card or creating a scrapbook page, it transforms the space with soft texture and refined detail. Its intricate pattern creates a full background that fills large areas beautifully for a polished, handcrafted look in one easy cut.

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.

Filled With Sweetness Blueberry Cake Box

I have another Filled With Sweetness project today.  Yes I know I'm using this bundle a ton lately but I can't get enough of it!  The images and greetings are too cute!  Plus blueberry treats are far too easy to find so I have to make all the gift boxes!  Today I'm making a fun box and lid that holds a Hostess Lemon Blueberry Coffee Cake.  I found these at my local Walmart.  They are a limited edition item so you might not be able to find them everywhere.  Hostess has a product locator, you can find them in your area here. I believe they have coffee cakes year round so this box will fit those year round.  

I used Stampin' Blends to color my berries and I stamped the heart to make a fun background.  Also Timid Tiger and Misty Moonlight are a perfect color combo.  For my ribbon I cut small slits in the lid and threaded it through the top instead of tying it around the box.  This way your ribbon stays put. No one has to untie anything to get to a treat and you save some ribbon because it's not going all the way around the box.  

My lid is just slightly larger than my box.  To get that to work without measuring to crazy measurements use a small stack of post it notes-I used about 5.  Stick them on the left side of your simply scored then line your paper up.  This tiny difference and shim makes the lid just a hair bigger and gives you a lid that fits snuggly but lifts off easily.  Check out the video for the tip! 

Measurements

Misty Moonlight

8" x 8"

Score at 1" and 2 1/2" on all sides

Homemade Sweetness DSP

7" x 7"

Score at 1" and 2" on all sides (use a small stack of post it notes on the left edge of your scoreboard as a shim to make the lid a hair larger for the box.  Check video for tips)

Timid Tiger 

2 3/8" Circle Punch

Flowers die cut from Filled With Sweetness Bundle

Basic White

2" Circle Punch

Arch die cut from Everyday Arches Dies

Filled With Sweetness Slider Card

The Filled With Sweetness Bundle is so amazing.  I haven't even begun to scratch the surface of what you can do with it.  It's pretty incredible.  Today I have a really fun card, no coloring.  This is a good one to make a bunch of if you needed.  For my jar, I stamped it in Strawberry Slush Ink on Very Vanilla Cardstock and used my Blending Brush to add some color.  In person the color is more intense.  I think under the lights of my photo box it washes it out a little.  I wanted a little variation in color, I was envisioning the jar to be kind of a foggy glass.  I really like how it came out.  

Instead of coloring my strawberry I stamped it in Memento on Strawberry Slush and Granny Apple Green Cardstock.  After die cutting I trimmed off the bottom of the Granny Apple Green one and adhered the stem to the Strawberry Slush one.  I added a Daffodil Delight flower and Antique Pearl to finish off the greeting.  The background is embossed with the Eyelet Folder-it adds a fun touch.  

The dies include a piece that cut a slit in the jar top.  I used that slit to add a piece to my lid and now you can slide the lid up to revel your greeting. I think a gift card would fit too. I used some ribbon on top of the lid to indicate you pull here. 

Measurements

Strawberry Slush

5 1/2" x 4 1/4"

Piece to stamp/die cut strawberry

Very Vanilla

5 1/4" x 4" embossed with Eyelet Embossing Folder

Love You Berry Much Fun Fold

If you haven't checked out the Filled With Sweetness Bundle you're missing out!  This bundle is completely adorable!  Today I'm sharing a card that doesn't use the jar at all but someof the other images in the set and it's soooo cute!  I'm using the coordinating DSP, Homemade Sweetness.  I pulled the colors for my card directly from the DSP, and they're sooo yummy together.  Strawberry Slush and Misty Moonlight.  I love it! 

I colored my images in Strawberry Slush and Blueberry Bushel  They're obvious choices given their names.  I love how they pop off the black piece.  I white heat embossed the greeting for a pop.  I used the Strawberry Slush Two Toned Cardstock for my top layer.  I love how it coordinates perfectly but adds enough difference to make it stand out.  To finish the card, I die cut Basic White flowers and added Rhinestones to them.  

Measurements

11" x 4 1/4"

Easter Basket Bundle Bunny Kit Kat Box-VIDEO

Are you ready for another adorable treat box?  This time I'm using the Easter Basket Bundle.  This is a great treat box for an Easter or Spring party.  What about Easter coworker, teacher or neighbor gifts.  This one checks all the boxes.  Inside the box are some adorable and YUMMY bunny Kit Kats.  The box is sized to hold two perfectly.  Such a sweet treat.  I'm also using the Pleasant Patterns Paper.  This paper is soooo fun. There's foil/holographic patterns on them, it really makes them fun!  If you already have this bundle you're set! The dies and the embellishments have sold out and are no longer available unfortunately.  You can fussy cut the images or use any other Easter/bunny set you have instead. 

I used Stampin' Blends to color my images---anyone surprised? No? I love our Stampin' Blends.  They're so quick and easy to use.  I did some playing around with the measurements on this box to ensure that you get two per sheet of cardstock.  This means that the top and bottom tabs only go about halfway across.  It's not really noticeable and the paper you save makes this minor detail worth it.  

Measurements

Peach Pie

6 1/2" x 5 1/2"

On the short side score at 1" each side

On the long side score at 1 3/4", 3", 4 3/4" and 6"

Pleasant Patterns DSP

1 1/2" x 3 1/4" 

1" x 3 1/4" two pieces

Label die cut with Beautifully Celebrated Dies

Cutest Crew Bundle Class To Go Day 4-VIDEO

Welcome to another Class To Go!  This class will feature the fun Cutest Crew Bundle.  This bundle will be released this month in our new Online Exclusive Launch.  You can earn this Class To Go FREE March 16-31, 2026 with a $50 minimum order in my Online Store. This class to go will feature four cards. Check below for all the details on earning this Class To Go. The featured embellishment this week are the 2024-2026 In Color Pearls.  Receive an entire package FREE when your order is over $150.  

The final card of this series features the birds.  Now again, if birds aren't your thing I think the cats would be really cute here too.  I'm also using the Florals In Bloom DSP.  Every single pattern in this package is stunning and would work beautifully.  I stamped the birds in the background on the front but use the die cut birds for my focal point.  I ink blending the bottom of them for some added texture.  

Earning the Class To Go is easy-simply place an order in my Online Store!  

There's three options:

1. Earn the Class To Go Kit FREE with a $50 order. Includes all the supplies you'll need to complete the cards.  You will have to provide ink and stamps.  Kits will NOT come prestamped  If the featured bundle includes dies or punches you'll need those as well.  
2. Earn the Class To Go Kit FREE with a $100 order.  Includes everything from option 1 PLUS you'll get 5 FREE cards from my card basket sent FREE.
3. Earn the Class To Go Kit FREE with a $150 order.  Includes everything from option 2 PLUS you'll get a full embellishment in your kit!  

You can choose the option that best works for you!  Here's some additional fine print.

• I will not do any stamping or die cutting/punching from the featured set or bundle.  You will need the stamp set/bundle to complete your cards.  You can always substitute for products you already have. 
• My basket of cards is full of cards from past classes, cards featured on my blog and more!  Please note that the cards will be chosen randomly and may not coordinate with the featured stamp set/bundle. Envelopes will not be included for these five cards.
• Your order total must be at $50, $100 or $150 before tax and shipping and after rewards or Bonus Days coupons in one order (multiple orders cannot be combined).

• Each class will have designated dates to earn the class-check dates below.  Classes should ship the week following the cut off date of the class. You'll receive an email when they ship.

I also ink blended the label on the bottom to give them some 'ground' to stand on.  This is a fun fold card and has a flap on the right that opens to the DSP card.  This is a great fold to do when you love both patterns of the DSP and have to show both of them off.  Inside the birds are stamped in the coordinating colors too.
