My Stamping Pad

09/05/2026

Did you see them on page 69 of the Sept-Dec. 2026 catalog? I almost missed them, but I'm so glad I didn't. It's the Creative Celebration Mix & Match 6x6 Specialty DSP and Season of Celebration Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. I opened them both up today and they are WAY better than I expected. SO many possibilities! Combine the bright, cheery DSP with the pre-cut images or stickers and you've got your self some quick easy cards or tags. I'm still in the planning phase, but I see a set of card coming soon!

2026 Card Sketch #31
I love sunflowers and as I started working on these cards, the ideas just kept coming! I started with a card using the sketch close the original. I then flipped the strips to the right on the next card and then I flipped the card to it's side.

What do you think? I can totally see these cards made with Christmas DSP too. Let's see what you cam up with and if you'd like more information about these cards, check out my blog. https://stampinpad.blogspot.com/

Sometimes you just have to pull something out of your non-Stampin'Up! and retired stash to make a perfectly themed card. This beautiful handmade hat needed a special "Thank You" card and what could be more perfect than a squirriel knitting a scarf in the same hot pink color!

Tuesday Crafty Tip: Cleaning Stamping Blocks
For years after holding a class, I would put all my clear blocks into a sink full of soapy water and give them a good scrub. Which then requires drying then as well, then I discovered alcohol prep pads. This was a game changer for me! No more water, soap, scrubbing or drying. I just keep the alcohol pads on my work desk and when a block gets dirty (or after a class) I just open up a pad and give then a wipe down. All shiny, un-inky and un-sticky with just a couple of swipes. One pad can do several blocks. If your alcohol pad are extra wet, you might need to give them a quick rub with the paper towel or you can just let them air dry. Another bonus of using alcohol pads; your blocks are germ free too!

Who says you can't make a flower from a leaf stamp! Using the brand new Elegant Leaves stamp set and just a little bit of die cutting, I made this Sunflower from 16 leaves. If I do say so myself, it's a great "out of the box" moment and it turned out SO nice. The other two cards used a masking technique & a arched fun fold. If you'd like to check out all the details you can visit my blog. I will put the link on the comment. I also posted a video yesterday about these cards.
