Hello! I hope you are finding great ways to stay safe during the heat wave we have endured leading up to the Fourth of July. I have been taking things really slow to try to beat the heat and am quite a bit behind.
Since I have been quiet, I thought I would share some Independence Day cards I created not too long ago.

| Free Shipping from Stampin' Up! June 11-13, 2026 |
In the past orders had to be opened during the Free Shipping window to be eligible for free shipping. I do not see this criteria listed in the Promotion Details for the June 2026 Free Shipping offer, but I think it is probably best to wait until June 11 at 2am ET to add items to a cart. Online orders must be finalized by 11:59pm MT June 13, 2026. If you are ordering by telephone, since the last day of free shipping falls on a Saturday, phone orders must be placed by 6:59 pm MT on Friday, June 12, 2026.
Hello! It is June, how can that be? I am stunned that the year is approaching half over. It has been busier than normal for me lately and I have been falling asleep with my laptop at the ready, but I cannot post when I am resting my eyes. It does not help that the kittens have been waking me up regularly before 5am. Rusty has a new trick that scares me. He chases his tail at the top of the cat tree, but instead of going round and round he goes down through the opening and up the outside. I think I need to invest in air bags to place around the base of the cat tree. Either that, or maybe a hammock that stretches the width of the room.
There is a bit of Stampin' Up! news to share this month.

Last Chance List Updated
The Last Chance section of the website was updated. There are some great products there - I'm sad I do not have more space and an unlimited budget.
New Kits
Two new cardmaking kits were added to the Kits Collection of the website. They are Washes of Gratitude and Shaded Petals. Kits come with everything you need to create the cards as shown, including adhesives, but feel free to add your personal touch.
Washes of Gratitude has a lovely watercolor look and does not require any stamping; the sentiments are pre-printed. I was thinking that a shimmer brush on some of the floral die cuts would be lovely. Or, ink the white pieces with Versamark ink and your choice of embossing powder.
Shaded Petals comes with two Stampin' Spots and two sponge daubers so you can ink blend the petals. This kit also does not require stamping.
Craft Class Available for Purchase
The latest craft class, Scenic Coast, was just added to the Craft Class page. In the digital video class you will create four projects with the Scenic Coast Suite Collection and other select products (sold separately).
Despite being wide awake since I fell asleep after watching the news, I'd better try to go to sleep. The kittens may start trying to wake me in three short hours. I am looking forward to them outgrowing this. I hope that I to not have to wait until the days get shorter.
Have a great June 2026!

There are a few details you should know about:
Good day (I am writing this late enough that I'm not sure if I will finish before midnight or if any of you will still be awake to read it on Wednesday)! Now that we are a few days past the nor'easter, fortunately we were spared from the storm, I hope the weather is better for everyone. Around here March came in a little like a lion, we had some sleet over the weekend, and the forecast shows we might tie or break some records in a few days, but the ten day forecast looks like we slide back to some colder temps. It makes me very happy that I was able to get Honey Bunny and Rusty inside.
Speaking of Rusty, I think he is really feeling at home.

These cute kittens, though he looks older in the photos, sure do eat into my creative time. The girls I lost last summer were happy to watch when I did my die cutting, but these guys like to try to help.

| March 2026 Product of the Month - Notes of Spring |
The March Product of the Month is here! It is a photopolymer stamp set called Notes of Spring and it is adorable! You are able to purchase this exclusive product for only $5 when you spend $75 or more in a single order. Please do not hesitate. This set is so cute that I think it will sell out and when it’s sold out, it’s gone for good!
Enjoy the remainder of your March. Hopefully we will soon see some bulbs starting to appear - preferably not through the snow - to begin putting on a dazzling color display by my next update.
Hello! I hope your 2026 is off to a fabulous start. The kittens continue to bond. When they are not getting into mischief, wrestling or eating, they might be found sleeping in the same chair or on the same scratcher. This is usually initiated by Honey Bunny who is thrilled to have a brother after being inside alone for about 10 weeks. He is the typical younger sibling in that he always wants to be doing what Rusty is doing or hanging out where Rusty decided to rest.
