What's New July 2026

Happy July! I hope you had a wonderful Independence Day.

As I write this I am listening to the fireworks my neighbors are shooting off and watching Disney Celebrates America while I try to stay cool and away from the bugs outside.

There are a few Stampin' Up! updates to share with you.

Product of the Month

Begonia Belle Stamp Set (168592)
Begonia Belle Stamp Set (168592) 
The Product of the Month is a gorgeous two-step stamp set. This set is just $5 with a $75 purchase (before tax and shipping). This stamp set is available while supplies last and it is so beautiful that I think this may sell out fast.

I hope the worst of our hot weather is behind us, but I fear that with so much of the summer ahead, we might be fighting the scorching heat again. I'm sure I have said this before...I would prefer cooler temperatures because I have much better solutions for keeping warm than I do keeping cool.

Take care and have a fabulous July!

Happy Independence Day

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.

I learned that Creative Kindness put out a call for donations of Fourth of July cards. Creative Kindness was collecting cards to send to organizations that give cards to Veterans (they also collect cards for other occasions and organizations - I encourage you to check out their website).

I shopped my stash for supplies to create the cards. Using their suggested sentiments, I created stars and sentiment strips using Cricut Design Space and my Cricut Maker. I also cut the pilot-like wings from Daily Art Hub with my Cricut Maker. I also used dies, stencils (and dies to create a temporary stencils), embossing folders, mists/sprays and silver foil cardstock to create the cards.

I hope you have a wonderful and safe 4th!
