Hope you’re having a great day! We awoke to a cool morning which is unusual during June in this area of Georgia. Though it’s going to be warm, the humidity is low so definitely a day to enjoy the outdoors. But first, I am sharing a beautiful greeting card featuring the Encircled in Nature Bundle from Stampin’ Up! This bundle is an Online Exclusive product so you will not find it in the catalog. It is one of the four cards from last month’s card class featuring all Online Exclusive Bundles.
If you haven’t purchased the Encircled in Nature Bundle, this month is the time to place your order. From now through June 30, Stampin’ Up! is offering an additional 10% discount on all stamp and die bundles. Be sure to take advantage of the savings!
In July, I’ll be using the Encircled in Nature bundle for one of my Christmas in July projects. Be sure to mark your calendars to follow me on YouTube for holiday project ideas.

Wow! Can you believe we’re approaching the end of May? It’s been an interesting month here in Georgia as for the past month, we have been serenaded by the cicadas. The 13 year and 17 year made a joint appearance. In addition to their loud noise, it wasn’t unusual to have one or more fly into you when outdoors. Fortunately this week it has quieted, so it seems the mating ritual has ended in Georgia. Were the cicadas present where you live? Now onto details about today’s card…
Today’s project features products from the Flowering Zinnia Suite Collection which includes the Simply Zinnia Bundle. The Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper and the 3D Zinnia Embossing Folder. These products are Online Exclusives meaning the products are available to view in the online Stampin’ Up! store and not in a catalog. For the May card classes (in person and kits to go classes), all Online Exclusive bundles were used.
This fun fold card design is unique. It looks like a regular card but when opened, there’s a side panel. And of course, the side panel allows for more embellishing!

Hey! I’m back from my holiday hiatus and am excited to be sharing the Fluffiest Friends Honey Bear Card. Have you seen the Fluffiest Friends Bundle? It’s one of the Online Exclusives found only the Stampin’ Up! website. Like many companies, Stampin’ Up! is now offering additional products online that you’ll not find in printed catalogs. Here’s a link to check out the Online Exclusives.
The Fluffiest Friends Bundle coordinates beautifully with the Bee Mine Product Suite in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. The honey bear card uses the sentiment from the Bee My Valentine Stamp Set and the honey pots are fussy cut from the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper to complete the scene. The tree limb, grass, leaves and beehive are die cuts using the Fluffiest Friends Dies from the bundle. You’ll find an assembly video and project materials listed below.

The Tree Farm holiday card features the Trucking Along Bundle and the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper. It is a card design that was inspired by the beautiful designer series paper. The illusion of a hill is perfect for a couple of tree farm trucks. And the trucks bringing Christmas trees down the hill in the winter forest is perfect for a fun holiday card. I’ve included the cut dimensions and an assembly video below so you can recreate the card. You will find both the Trucking Along Bundle and the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper in the Online Exclusives section of my Stampin’ Up! store.
