National Scrapbooking Day is Saturday, May 3rd. Stampin’ Up! is celebrating by offering 2x Stampin’ Rewards on all purchases for two days, May 2-May 3. This offer applies to ALL products, not just scrapbooking products! All orders qualify once the rewards threshold of $20 USD is met. To participate, customers must have a Stampin’ Up! account and be opted in to Stampin’ Rewards. Existing Paper Pumpkin subscriptions won’t earn double rewards. However, any new subscription or prepaid subscription ordered during the offer will earn double rewards.
The new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog goes live on Tuesday, May 6! Customers that have placed orders with me in the last year should have received copies of the catalog in the mail. If you are a current customer and didn’t receive a catalog, or if you don’t have a demonstrator, please feel free to contact me to request a free catalog. Use the Contact Me link, which you can find at the top of the home page of this blog.
Stampin’ Up! has announced three days of FREE shipping! You will get free shipping when you spend $75 or more before tax. Take advantage of this deal from Wednesday, April 23-Friday, April 25. With cardstock prices going up in May, now would be a good time to stock up.
Along with the free shipping, if you are a current Paper Pumpkin subscriber, from April 23-April 25, save up to 75% off on refills, past kits and add-ons!
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.

Today’s card is another card featuring the Marbled Elegance Suite. This is another one of the cards we made in my Valentine’s Day cardmaking class a few weeks ago. It is an easy to do fun fold.
Here is how I made the card.
Cut a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and score at 2 1/8″ and 4 1/4″. Fold at the 4 1/4″ score line. Fold back on the 2 1/8″ score line.
Cut another piece of Melon Mambo cardstock at 2 1/2″ x 5″ and score at 2 1/2″. Fold in half.
Cut three strips of Marbled Elegance DSP at 1 7/8″ x 5 1/4″. Adhere one piece to the front flap. Adhere the two remaining strips to the 4 1/4″ side of the card, leaving a space between the two pieces.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 1 7/8″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp the greeting and heart pattern from the Hearts of Elegance stamp set with Melon Mambo ink. Adhere to the inside of the front fold.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 2 1/4″ x 2 1/4″. Stamp greeting with Melon Mambo ink and adhere to inside of smaller card.
Cut a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock at 2 1/4″ x 2 1/4″ and adhere to front of smaller card. Cut a piece of Gold Foil paper at 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″. Run through die cutting and embossing machine with the filligree patterned solid die from the Hearts of Elegance Dies. Run a scrap piece of Melon Mambo cardstock through the die cutting machine with the smallest solid die. Adhere the gold heart to the front of the smaller card. Adhere the Melon Mambo heart over the bottom right side of the gold heart.
To adhere the smaller card to the larger card, adhere three Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the smaller card on the right hand side. Fold the larger card, line up and center the smaller card to the larger card front. Adhere the smaller card to the right side of the card. Pull on the folded front of the larger card to open it up and to close it, tuck it back under the left side of the smaller card.
Embellish with a few of the Adhesive Backed Heart Sequins. Cut a length of Gold Twisted Thread and tie in a small bow. Adhere with a glue dot.

February is the second and final month of this year’s Sale-A-Bration Promotion. As has been done in the last few years, Stampin’ Up! has added additional products you can earn for free this month. For every $60 or $120 you spend you earn free products. There is no limit on how many products you can earn, however, items are while supplies last. The new items are all existing products, pictured below.
New items have been added to the Last Chance Products section in my online store. Some are being offered at discounts of 50% or more. Last Chance Products take the place of the former Clearance Rack. While items were added one or two times a year in the Clearance Rack, now new items will be added every other month. Item availability is while supplies last and will then be discontinued.
