Hello Reader,

Today’s card was inspired by a Stampin’ Up! sample created with December's Product of the Month - Designer Series Paper (see below) — and I couldn’t resist giving it a little twist. I CASE’d the Pinwheel Quilt Block layout and recreated it using a sneak peek of the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper, letting those rich patterns and colors take center stage. The result is a clean, geometric design that feels fresh, balanced, and perfect for showcasing any beautiful paper you love.

Just released—May’s Product of the Month! The Berry Botanical Vellum 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper is a beautiful mix of soft florals, berries, and classic patterns on translucent vellum for light, layered detail. The April Product of the Month, the gorgeous Eyelet Blooms Die, is still available too! You can add either product (but just one) to your order for just $5 with a $75 purchase (before tax & shipping). It’s only available while supplies last, so if it’s on your wish list, NOW is the time to grab it! TIP: The $5 product of the month can only be redeemed once per product.
