Stampin' Up! Homemade Sweetness

Everything about this card screams Summer!

Flowers, ladybugs, fresh preserves. I love that it takes very little DSP. (2 pieces of 1/4" strips), and I fussy cut the jam jars and honey bear from the same paper pack.

It really is the Sweetest!

Stampin' Up! Hinge Card

This is a alternative card that I made using the April Paper Pumpkin Kit.

Some of the additional items used, I can't link to yet, as they wont be available until May 5th, 2026.

I used the Waterside Retreat Designer Paper #167920 as well as a NEW In-Color Peaceful Pine #167691. The new In-Color gems are #167546.

This card has a fun open front, but inside it is still a traditional card that opens, so you can put your message inside.
