This month, I’m featuring products from the “Garden Poetry Suite Collection,” which showcases lush botanical imagery in vibrant, cheerful colors. For these projects, I’ll be working with Poppy Parade, Blueberry Bushel, and Old Olive classic ink pads. My inspiration came from a Virtual Bingo event I attended on Saturday, June 27, 2026—it was such a blast, and everyone had a great time. Since I didn’t have the “Paradise Garden” stamp set, I opted to use the “Exciting Times,” Learn & Grow, and June 2026 Bikes & Blooms Paper Pumpkin stamp sets for the sentiments instead!
I absolutely love how each card turned out, and the sentiments perfectly complement this suite collection. I noticed that this set of goodies is still on the Last Chance list while supplies last, and it might be worth adding to your collection.
Thanks for visiting my blog, now let's head to the next person on the carousel and see what they shared.

🌎 Global Collaboration – Paper Pumpkin Alternates 🚲🌸
Hello, crafty friends!
One of my favorite things about being part of the Stampin' Up! community is that creativity has no borders. Today, I'm so excited to share a special Global Collaboration with my talented friend Stephanie Tsang from Calgary, Alberta, Canada!
Together, we're sharing creative inspiration using the June 2026 Bikes & Blooms Paper Pumpkin Kit, proving that one kit can become so many beautiful handmade creations.
My Bikes & Blooms Alternates
The first two projects featured in this post are the alternates I created using the supplies from the Bikes & Blooms Paper Pumpkin Kit.
If you've followed my crafting journey, you already know one of my favorite techniques is creating custom backgrounds. I love stretching my kits by adding layers, texture, and unique background designs that make each project feel one-of-a-kind. It's amazing how a simple background can completely transform the look of a card!
I hope these projects inspire you to look beyond the kit instructions and let your creativity bloom.
Stephanie's Beautiful Alternate
The second set of projects were beautifully created by my friend Stephanie Tsang. I absolutely love seeing her creative style and the unique ways she used the very same kit materials. It's always inspiring to see how two crafters can begin with identical supplies and end up with completely different works of art.
If you live in Canada and would like to purchase Stampin' Up! products or subscribe to Paper Pumpkin, I encourage you to visit Stephanie through the link below and support her wonderful business.

No matter where you live, we hope our collaboration inspires you to think outside the box and get even more from your Paper Pumpkin kits.

The silver butterflies give the card an eye-catching finish. Last week Houston had really bad Thunderstorms. When we made it home last Saturday, I found my Paper Pumpkin kit in my yard and wet. I just knew the kit would have to be replaced, but only the Crushed Curry card bases were wet. I let them dry and then scored the bottoms. I also used the May 2023 "Exploring in Color" stamp set and adding some of those sentiments!

This month, I'm spotlighting the "Forever Plaid" 3D Embossing folder. I really the plaid design. Whenever I see plaid, it reminds me of the shirts that each of my grandfather's wore. This folder is so great for giving your projects that extra raised plaid layer! My inspiration for these cards came from my need for more "Thank You" cards! I love sharing Random Acts of Kindness treats when I travel. I decided to use this folder to make these cute "Thank you" note cards! I really love how this layer pops using the new "2026-2028 Pearlized Specialty Paper"! I also used the Heartfelt & Handmade & Banner Botanicals stamp sets both of these kits are on the Last Chance you might want to get them before they're gone!
I really love how this layer pops using the new "2026-2028 Pearlized Specialty Paper"! I will be adding the "Thank you" cards and one of the Ghirardelli chocolate treat holders I made last month in a cute bag and hand out while I'm traveling next week.
