Good Morning! One of the pretty new bundles in the new January-April 2025 Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog is the Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes bundle and it’s part of the Floral Delight Suite. Here’s a sneak peek of a Love card made with this gorgeous bundle. You can find the currently available supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

I embossed a Pool Party panel with the Eyelet 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Pool Party card base with liquid glue. I adhered a panel of Floral Delight designer series paper (available January 7, 2025) to the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the stem from the Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes stamp set (available January 7, 2025) using Pecan Pie ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaves using Old Olive ink, lining them up with the stem. On a separate Basic White panel, I stamped the flowers using Daffodil Delight ink. I stamped the detailed flowers using full strength ink and I used the background flowers stamp to stamp Daffodil Delight ink after stamping off on scrap paper. I cut the flowers out with the coordinating die and adhered them to the floral panel with dimensionals.

I stamped the triple dots stamp using Pool Party ink and adhered the decorated panel to the card with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes stamp set using Pecan Pie ink on Daffodil Delight card stock. I cut the sentiment out with the label die using a two step method and made a linen thread bow. I adhered the bow to the back of the label and adhered the label to the card with dimensionals. I finished the card with three Summer Splash shimmer gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the stem, leaves and flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Wishes stamp set using Pecan Pie, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight inks just like the card front. Only this time, I stamped the flowers on the same panel as the leaves and stems. I love how it’s the same, but the flowers are not popped up with dimensionals. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Here is the pretty Delightful Wishes bundle that will be available on January 7, 2025.

And here is the pretty Floral Delight designer series paper. I just love the variety of flowers!

The Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes bundle has beautiful two step stamping flowers and leaves with wonderful sentiments, like I used on today’s card. And there are die cut flowers, leaves and branches that you can layer for a completely different look. Plus, it has dies to make the word ‘wishing‘ that you can combine with the other sentiments for a truly versatile cardmaking experience. And it will all be available on January 7, 2025 when the new Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog is open.

Retiring products for the current September-December 2024 Mini Catalog are now available in the Last Chance Products category in the Online Store.

Stampin’ Up! is making some changes to their product retirement process. They are introducing a new Last Chance Products category in the Online Store today that will include retiring products from the current 2024 September-December Mini Catalog and Online Exclusives items that are being discontinued. The Last Chance Products category is replacing the current Clearance Rack and will be updated every two months.

Here are the details:

• Last Chance Products include retiring products from both catalogs and online releases, excluding Paper Pumpkin.
• Last Chance Products are available while supplies last and will be discontinued when they sell out. Items will be automatically removed from the category and the online store when they are discontinued.
• Discounts vary and are subject to change. Also, depending on inventory, these products may or may not have discounts.
• The Last Chance Products category will be updated every other month. Updates happen at the beginning of the month and may include additional products in the category and any adjustments to product discounts.

This change aligns with Stampin’ Up!’s product release strategy of new Online Exclusives every two months and unifies the retirement process for Online Exclusive and Catalog products. The goal is to keep product offerings fresh, trendy and exciting for Stampin’ Up! customers.

If you have any questions, let me know.
