Last Chance Favorites: 3 Seasonal Celebrations Cards + How to CASE the Catalog Video

If you've been following my blog and my videos for awhile, you know that I am often inspired by Stampin' Up! catalog samples created by Stampin' Up! Concept Artists. I like to define the popular acronym CASE as "Copy And Selectively Edit" because while I sometimes copy samples exactly as they appear in the catalog, more often I make a few changes -- like the color combination or stamp set. You probably would never have connected the inspiration card to today's set of cards! Scroll down to see the original card!

I used the Pleasant Patterns Specialty Paper and showcased some of the retiring In Colors, including Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie, and Shy Shamrock. 

The images in the Seasonal celebrations stamp set pair nicely with the Reason to Celebrate stamp that includes greetings.

Following the same "formula", these cards came together quickly!

Seasonal Celebrations Card Measurements 

• 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Card Base 
• 3" x 4" Pleasant Patterns Designer Paper 
• Fussy Cut Images
• Greetings: Start with a 3/4" wide Basic White Cardstock strip

Here is the Prayers & Promises card (from page 69 of the January-April 2026 Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog) that inspired my cards. EVERYthing is different except for the layout!

Happy Spring! Happy Easter! It's been a few months since my last post.

We're getting ready for a brand new catalog which will start May 5. Stay tuned for details about my regular Product Share to get a little bit of all the new designer paper and ribbon. In the meantime, I'll be sharing projects using some of my favorite things on the Last Chance List! 

First up -- because it's timely -- the Easter Joy Suite from the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog. I love the bright colors in this fun specialty paper. I used bright colors: Azure Afternoon, Flirty Flamingo, Shy Shamrock, and Daffodil Delight for these first two cards.

Watch the replay of my 12 Days of Christmas video from December to see how I incorporated vellum layers on these cards:

I designed this Pop-Up Diorama Card for a Sunday Stamping Video. Be sure to watch the video below to learn how to create this card and to see another color variation (using blue instead of yellow).

Pop-Up Diorama Card Measurements:

• 5-1/2" x 10-1/2" Flirty Flamingo Cardstock, score at 3-1/2", 6-1/2", 7", and 10".
• 2" x 4-1/2" Lemon Lolly Cardstock (front)
• 2-1/4" x 3-1/2" Easter Joy Designer Paper (front)
• 2-1/2" x 5" Basic White Cardstock (inside)
• 2" x 3" Easter Joy Designer Paper (inside)
• 1/2" x 3" Lemon Lolly (inside)

Pop-Up Diorama Card Directions:

• Cut cardstock to 5-1/2" x 10-1/2".
• Score at 3-1/2", 6-1/2", 7", and 10".
• Add Tear & Tape to the 1/2" tab on the end.
• Punch a window in the 3" panel next to the 1/2" tab.
• Peel off the Tear & Tape liner and fold the card front flat to glue the tab inside the card front.

My last card using the Easter Joy Suite is a "This or That" -- I couldn't decide if I preferred the Peach Pie or Pretty in Pink card base. Which one do you like best? Leave a comment and let me know!

These cards use of my 2025 Back Pocket Card Layouts. Watch this video to see how I used the Back Pocket Card Layouts to create:

3 Back Pocket Card Layout Inspired Cards ft. Stampin' Up! Product of the Month

Last month, Stampin' Up! launched a brand new program called Product of the Month. Every month, they are releasing a brand new, limited edition product that you can add to a qualifying order for only $5! In December, they introduced the True Blue Floral Designer Paper. In January, the exclusive Product of the Month is the Fabulous Sayings. 

Both Product of the Month items are still available while supplies last. You can choose either one when you place a $75 order (before tax and shipping and after any Stampin' Rewards are applied). There is a limit of ONE Product of the Month per order and only ONE of each Product of the Month. In other words, you can only get the True Blue Floral Designer Paper ONCE, but if you didn't get it in December, you can choose it as you add-in in January.

Watch the progress bar in your shopping cart and make sure to click on "Shop Now" to add your Product of the Month before you checkout! You will not be able to add the Product of the Month after your order is finalized.

Mom and I are excited to be featuring the Product of the Month in our Sunday Stamping videos on the last Sunday of the month. This past Sunday, I shared three cards that I created using BOTH the December and January Product of the Month to show you how you can use them together. It's been a busy month, so I turned to my Back Pocket Card Layouts for inspiration and created three cards.
