Happy Hibiscus

It’s been a rather sultry week and the temperatures have been as high as the humidity so it’s got me thinking of tropical things. So today’s card highlights the Happy Hibiscus stamp set (Online Exclusive 164877).

This stamp set allows you to create these lovely flowers year round if you choose since the set has some great all occasion sentiments. Check out today’s card that uses this stamp set.

The flowers have been stamped in shades of Calypso Coral, Flirty Flamingo, and Pretty in Pink and the leaves in Old Olive which brings out the lovely foiling from the Season of Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper (164144).

So how about you? Are you feeling a bit tropical today too after seeing this lovely card?

NEW Online Exclusives for May & Organizational Items

Great news, we’ve got some fun new products that are available today but they can only be found in my Online Store!

Did you know that every 3 months Stampin’ Up! releases a group of products in our Online Store? These items are called Online Exclusives, not because that is the only way you can order them, but because they aren’t in our Annual or Mini Catalogs.

Here is a spreadsheet showing you the products for May 2025 in case you want a list of them. I know I find this helpful and print it off to put with my catalogs for easy reference.

2025 May Online Exclusives SPREADSHEET

and here is the March Online Exclusives too in case you missed it. Prior to this I created a PDF document that I shared with each release which contained products not on Stampin’ Up!’s flyers.

Online Exclusives Faith Collection

Did you know that we have a special selection of stamp sets, dies and more in the Online Store? These special products are released periodically and supplement our Annual and Mini Catalogs giving us new products every month of the year! Today’s card use the Faith Collection Bundle (Online Exclusives 164796) that is found there.

This set is perfect for Easter with it’s lovely coordinating dies. Check out these two cards using this bundle. This first card also uses the Everyday Skies 6×6 Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 164622).

The cross has been die cut using Pecan pie and places on the stamped die cut image. The sky sets a beautiful sunrise backdrop and a few Adhesive Backed Trio Pearls (163319) add a bit of shine and texture.

This next card uses the same images but has a less dramatic spring feel to it

with it’s softer color pallet. Done in Old Olive and Daffodil Delight it uses the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper (164700). Old Olive has been used for the palms and has been stamped off to create a lighter shade of green behind the cross. A bit of Daffodil Delight 1/8″ Satin Ribbon (164715) is draped across the cross that has been die cut in Pecan Pie and uses both the solid and detailed die. A bit of sponging on the detailed layer gives it more depth. And those cut little dots that add a bit of shine come from the Glossy Dots Assortment (158827).

Fun with Shutter Cards & the NEW Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper

Looking for a quick and easy card. Today’s card uses the fun Shutter Technique to create a bright cheerful card for spring.

I first saw this technique at our BackStage event in Las Vegas and couldn’t resist trying it with our little Bee Builder Punch (162553) when I saw the NEW Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 163469). This paper is filled with bold color and patterns.

If you haven’t seen this paper and the suite that went live earlier this month you’ll want to stop by my Online store and check it out. Online exclusives can be found in my Online Store and aren’t in our catalogs.

Want to see just how easy this fun technique is? Check out my video that I created to share with you for this card. I’ve also got a PDF for you too with everything you need to get creating.
