Bloom Boutique Pop-Up Birthday Card

I am loving playing with the Bloom Boutique Suite — especially with all five of the 2026–2028 In Colors represented throughout the collection.  Everything coordinates so beautifully, and once you start mixing and matching, it’s hard to stop!  This elegant birthday card showcases four of the five new In Colors, paired with stunning florals and a little wow-factor hidden inside.

Hello

about me

I am a stay-at-home mum with three adult children and a wonderfully supportive husband.  My creative timeout is stamping, creating and giving handmade greeting cards.  When I was introduced to Stampin' Up!® over fifteen years ago, I quickly fell in love with their high-quality, coordinating products and loved creating with them.  Soon after, I became an Independent Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator and discovered that I also enjoy sharing my paper crafting knowledge with others and inspiring their stamping creativity.

I would love to hear from you.  Don't hesitate to contact me if you want the latest catalogue, need papercraft supplies (we ship nationwide), wish to attend an upcoming event, or want information about joining my team.

Creating cards and projects for the men in our lives can sometimes feel a little tricky — which is exactly why I’m excited to be joining the Creativity Abounds Design Team this month as we share our Masculine Projects Tutorial Bundle!

Exciting Times Z-Fold Birthday Note Card

This season’s new In Colors are filled with soft, nature-inspired tones that feel both fresh and timeless.  We’ve already explored the warm glow of Crisp Cantaloupe, and now it’s time to turn our attention to the earthy, calming tones of PEACEFUL PINE.
