Some bundles are retiring but one or both products are returning. For instance, the So Sentimental Bundle is retiring. The stamp set, So Sentimental, is retiring but the Stitched So Sweetly Dies are not. The Posted For You Bundle is retiring. The punch is returning but the stamp set is not. The Hippo Happiness Bundle is retiring but both products are returning in the new catalog but they won’t be bundled together for a savings of 10%. The Today’s Tiles Bundle is retiring and both products are retiring.
I know the bundles can be confusing and if you have a question about a particular bundle, I’m just an email away. Click here to see the retiring products.

Today’s card features the Hydrangea Haven Bundle which includes the Hydrangea Haven stamp set and the Hydrangea Dies (bundles always save you 10%).
I started with a base of Highland Heather cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock and Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper. I used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to cut a scalloped rectangle out of Basic White cardstock.
Next, I used the Hydrangea Dies to cut the flower out of Highland Heather cardstock using my Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (both of the dies I used WILL fit in our smaller Cut & Emboss Machine). The flowers come out partially cut and I pushed each petal up so it wasn’t laying flat. I stamped the leaves onto the Basic White rectangle using Old Olive ink and stamped the sentiment with Memento Ink using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set. Then I used very small amounts of Multipurpose Liquid Glue around the outside of the Hydrangea and adhered it to the top of the leaves.
To complete the card, I added pearls in the center of each flower and adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside. I’ve had these dies since January and I was a little intimidated to use them – I know, silly. They were so easy to use!! The dies do all the work and make it so easy to create a beautiful card!

Today’s card is a sneak peek of several new products in the 2021-2022 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog which goes live on May 4, 2021 – next week (I can’t wait)!
I started with a piece of Pool Party cardstock and then used the Scalloped Contour Dies (available May 4th) to cut a piece of Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper (available May 4th). Then, using these same set of dies, I cut the Basic White scalloped rectangle. I stamped the sentiment using the Color & Contour stamp set (available May 4th) in Memento Ink.
I stamped the flower, also from the Color & Contour stamp set, onto Thick Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink. I colored it with Pool Party & Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends and then cut it out with Scalloped Contour Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and also added a Mini Glue Dot to the very end of the stem to secure it. I added one of our Genial Gems (available May 4th) to the front to complete the card.

Today’s cards combine a retiring product with a new product!
To create both of my cards, I used Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper, a beautiful paper from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. It’s one of many retiring products from this catalog and is available while supplies last or May 3, 2021. I combined it with a new product from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog (debuting on May 4, 2021) called the Scalloped Contours Dies. Both the sentiment piece and the one it’s layered on are from this set of dies. For the sentiment I used the stamp set Vine Design (from the January – June 2021 Mini Catalog) and stamped it in Memento Ink.
For this next card, I used all the same products as the card above but used Garden Green cardstock for the layer underneath the sentiment and I stamped the sentiment in Green Green Ink. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop up both the sentiment piece and the layer underneath it. The base of each card is Thick Basic White cardstock.

Today I’m sharing another use for the retiring Craft & Carry Stamparatus Bag that I found out quite by accident! If you have an Erin Condren planner, it fits perfectly inside this bag!
The bag is meant for storing your Stamparatus but I’ve used it for many different purposes such as keeping Stampin’ Blends inside along with a project I’m working on. I just got back from visiting my mom for 6 weeks and right before leaving I was dashing around picking up the last of my things and thought, hmm, I wonder if my planner will fit inside and it did! I did a little happy dance right there on the spot!
There’s a nice pocket on the outside front and inside there are several pockets to store notes, stickers or pens for your planner. One of the pockets on the inside (shown below) has a Velcro closing so your things will stay nice and secure. The other side of the bag has two pockets.
It’s a great little bag and it’s 60% off! It will be available until May 3, 2021 or while supplies last! If you’d like to purchase one of these bags, you’ll find it HERE at my Stampin’ Up! online store.
Pansy Petals Card Sampler
Place a minimum $50 order at my Stampin’ Up! online store using the host code JZFUSTEC and as a thank you, you’ll receive my Pansy Petals Card Sampler with includes 6 card kits (2 each of three cards) with envelopes and a PDF Tutorial with instructions, pictures and a supply list. You’ll receive all the paper and embellishments needed to make the cards and all the paper will be cut, scored and die cut for you (you’ll need to supply your own adhesive, ink and stamp set). The last day this offer will be available is Friday, April 30, 2021. For all the details, please click here.
Please note: This Card Sampler is a little bit different than what I usually offer. All three cards are the SAME design but I’ve used different colors for each of the three cards. The cards were all made using our Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper and the base of each card features one of our new In Colors (the cardstock and Designer Series Paper will be available for purchase on May 4, 2021 when the new Annual catalog goes live).
Demonstrators were able to preorder a limited amount of new products this month. I wanted to feature new paper for this Sampler and in order to make sure I’d have enough supplies on hand, I created the same design. So please be aware that all three cards are the same but different!
