Beautiful Gallery Suite Card

| Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

Today’s card uses products in the Beautiful Gallery Suite from the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. This is a partial CASE from a card I saw on Pinterest, sorry I don’t remember the name of the person. I love how the Basic Beige cardstock gives the card a vintage look.

Measurements

  • Card base -Peach Pie cardstock cut at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
  • Basic Beige cardstock- cut one piece at 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″, one piece at 4″ x 5 1/4″ for inside of card, one piece at 2 1/2″ x 4″ for die cut rectangle, one piece at 3 1/2″ x 5″ for stamping images
  • Old Olive cardstock – cut piece at 1″ x 5″
  • Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper – 2 1/2″ x 4″ – Some of the papers in this set are directional, so be careful when cutting!

Here is how I made the card.

  • Run the 4 1/8″x 5 3/8″ piece of Basic Beige cardstock through die cutting and embossing machine with the Damask Designs Embossing Folder. Fold Peach Pie card base in half and adhere embossed piece to front of card. Adhere piece of DSP over the embossed piece.
  • Run the 2 1/2″ x 4″ piece of Basic Beige cardstock through die cutting and embossing machine with the 4th largest Textured Notes die. Adhere to center of card front.
  • Using the Gallery Blooms stamp set, on the piece of the 3 1/2″ x 5″ piece of Basic Beige cardstock, stamp one lacy flower with Peach Pie ink and one with Old Olive ink. Stamp the image that resembles a lilac with Memento Black ink and color with Fresh Freesia and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. Die cut coordinating Gallery Blooms Dies.
  • Adhere lacy flowers on rectangle piece.
  • Using the piece of Old Olive cardstock, die cut two different leaves. Adhere over the lacy flowers.
  • Adhere lilac piece in center of floral spray.
  • Cut two lengths of Crumb Cake twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack. Tie into a double bow, trim ends and adhere to lilac with a mini glue dot.
  • Stamp greeting on the 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic Beige cardstock. I used a greeting from the new Blooming Phrases stamp set. I love this stamp set, not only because of the font but because the greetings are so versatile. Stamp smallest floral image from the Gallery Blooms stamp set with Memento Black Ink in lower left corner and color with Stampin’ Blends. Adhere to inside of card
  • Embellish card front with a few Flower Accents that are part of the suite. I don’t own them so I used Adhesive Backed Textured Dots.

Product List

Suite and Suite Products BOGO

| Rhonda Kleiman

This first-time-ever suite and suite product sale runs from June 3-30!  Here are the details.  Please read them carefully!

  • Suites and suite products from the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog, Buy one, get one at 50% off. Online Exclusives and Last Chance Products are included. There is a total of 27 suites included in the sale. If you are a demonstrator you can also purchase the Online Exclusives available now for pre-order.
  • Suite collections are available if all items are in stock; if all items are not in stock, you can still shop the available suite products.
  • The discount will appear in your cart once you’ve added two items within the sale parameters to your cart.  Watch the totals in your cart to make sure you are maximizing the benefits of the sale!
  • Products are available only while supplies last.
  • When you shop the sale, the 50% off discount will apply to the lower-priced item (for example, if you buy a suite collection and a stamp set from a suite, the suite would be full price, and the stamp set would be 50% off). NOTE: You can purchase more than 1 suite for 50% off, but you would need to buy a full-price item for the discount. For example, if you add 4 suites to your order, 2 will be full price and 2 will be 50% off. If there are 3 suites in the order, 2 would be full price, and one will be 50% off.
  • Be strategic with your orders. To maximize the buy one, get one 50% off, you realize greater savings by ordering suites or bundles together, rather than ordering, for example, two suites and a set of embellishments.  Because the 50% off comes off the lowest priced product, it would be the embellishments that would get the discount and not the second suite.
  • You don’t have to buy a suite and suite products all from the same set.  You can mix and match products, as long as they are parts of suites. Products such as ink pads, markers, cardstock, single stamp sets, etc. are NOT included.
  • There is no limit to how many times you can place orders throughout the month and there is no limit on the number of products you can purchase.  Just be aware that some products might go on backorder.  Note: I wrote about this in my May newsletter.  A box will appear above the product detail, where you can request to be notified when it will be back in stock.
  • For any bundles that are discounted by 10%, you will get the additional discount on top of this, giving you even more savings.

Pretty Florals Pop-Up Card

| Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

It’s been a few months since I posted cards. I’ve been busy making them for classes but haven’t had much time to do blog posts! Today’s card is a fun fold that features the Designer Series Paper from the Florals in Bloom Suite in the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. I’ve been seeing different versions of this fun fold. This version is based on Susan Campfield’s Pop-up Parade fun fold. It looks complicated but it isn’t that hard to put together. It just has a lot of pieces!

Measurements

  • Card base – Basic White cardstock cut at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ and folded in half.
  • Inside of card – Basic White cardstock cut at 4″ x 5 1/4″
  • Top and bottom Basic White bands cut at 3/4″ x 5 3/4″. Score at 3/4″, 1/1/2″, 4 1/4″, 5″
  • Center Basic White band cut at 3″ x 5 3/4″. Score at 3/4″, 1 1/2″, 4 1/4″, 5″.
  • Basic White cardstock cut at 2 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ for background piece placed behind the bands. You can substitute the white cardstock for a piece of DSP or cardstock in a coordinating color.
  • Scrap piece of Basic White cardstock for greeting.
  • Floral Bloom Designer Series Paper
    • Top and bottom bands – 2 pieces-1/2″ x 2 1/2″, 4 pieces-1/2″
    • Center band – 1 piece-2 1/2″ x 2 3/4″, 2 pieces 1/2″ x 2 3/4″
    • Side bands – 2 pieces-1/2″ x 5 1/4″
    • Inside of card – one piece 3/4″ x 5 1/4″
  • In Susan’s examples, she matted each piece of DSP. I chose not to do this, so if you want to cut mats for each piece, add 1/8″ to all of the DSP measurements.

Here is how I made the card.

  • Fold the score lines on each of the bands and burnish with a bone folder.
  • Adhere all of the DSP to the three bands.
  • Adhere the left side of the three bands flush against the left side of the folded card base.
  • Emboss the Basic White background piece with the embossing folder of your choice. I used the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder. Adhere to card front, centering it in the middle.
  • Adhere the right side of the three bands flush against the right side of the card base.
  • Adhere the DSP side bands along the right and left side of the card front.
  • Stamp greeting with Secret Sea ink on scrap piece of Basic White cardstock. I used one of my favorite greeting stamp sets, Go To Greetings, which is retired. This is still one of my “go to” greeting sets! Run through die cutting machine with the small banner from the Stylish Shapes die set. Adhere to center panel with mini dimensionals.
  • Adhere the remaining piece of DSP to either side of the 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock. Adhere to inside of card. Stamp greeting or leave blank to write a note.
  • For a bit of bling, add a few small rhinestone jewels to the center front of the card.

New Rewards Program Coming! New Kits Added to Collection

| Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

It’s been awhile since my last post. Every year I have to put my stamping business on hold in March and most of April, except for doing my monthly classes. I’m the administrator on the Business Development Team for a large nonprofit business organization. Every April we hold a luncheon, with over 200 business people in attendance to celebrate five local businesses that have had major achievements in their businesses. It takes a lot of planning to pull off the event. The last few weeks get crazy busy so I will look forward to coming up for air after the luncheon takes place this Thursday! I’m anxious to get back to stamping on a regular basis again!

The Stampin’ Up! online store will be offline tomorrow, beginning at 8:00am MT for approximately six hours. They are in the final phase of unifiying all of their various online platforms into one digital platform. In addition, the new Stampin’ Rewards program will take effect once the store is back online. No orders can be placed during this time.

With the new Stampin’ Rewards program you will automatically earn 10 percent in Stampin’ Rewards with all orders of $20 or more! You have to opt in to begin receiving the rewards. If you already have an online account, just log in and you will get a prompt to opt in. If you do not currently have an online account, you can create one. Rewards are good for 12 months. You can redeem some or all of your rewards on future orders. Make sure that every time you place an order that you are logged into your account so that you don’t miss out on earning rewards.

Please note that the host code program has been discontinued.
