VIDEO: Stampin' Up! Party Piggy Shaker Card

In my last blog post, I talked about being inspired by card ideas in the catalog. Today's card is another one that I CASEd (Copy And Selectively Edited). I took the simple layout with a diagonal designer paper element and added a fun shaker image with the new Party Piggy Bundle from the May 2025 Online Exclusives.

Here is the original card that inspired by my project from page 58 of the Stampin' Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog using the Inspiring Imperfections bundle created by Stampin' Up! Concept Artists.

    This or That? Stampin' Up! Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape Cards

    Today's card was inspired by the Natural Botanicals Card on page 114 of the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. It is one of five layouts that I am featuring on my May 2024 Special Edition Back Pocket Card Layouts. I love to "CASE the Catalog" -- Copy And Selectively Edit -- the ideas shared there. Change the stamp set or designer paper, choose different colors, and make it my own using whatever supplies I have at home. I invite you to do the same! I hope these card ideas inspire you to create your own cards to send to family and friends.

    I used some brand new products to make these cards. The gorgeous new Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape has a coordinating stamp set and die -- which also cuts out the washi tape! You can die cut the washi tape as is, but I prefer to put it on Basic White cardstock (you could also use a window sheet or vellum) or provide some stability as accents on the card.

    The Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape includes two sets of floral images with different colors. Which color combination do you prefer? Leave a comment and let me know!

    Cloud Cover Update

    Unfortunately, Stampin' Up! has decided to pull the full size Cloud Cover ink pad from production. The ink is having a chemical reaction with the firm foam ink pad base which is causing the color to shift and be more gray than blue.

    The good news is that the ink is working well on the felt pad of a Stampin' Spot, so you have two options for a mini Cloud Cover ink pad.

    Do you play an instrument? I took piano lessons when I was younger and remember just a little bit -- but all four of my kids are or were in band when they were in school. I love all of the band turtles in this paper pack. This was the card that I designed for my Peoria Shoebox Swap and I included all of the band turtles in my card packets. Here's the same card with the trumpeting turtle.
