Welcome to our Inspire - Create - Share Blog Hop for March 2026!  This month's we are sharing ideas that are all created using Online Exclusive products.  Did you know that there is a wonderful world of Stampin' Up! products that are not in any catalog -but are available exclusively online?  They can be easy to overlook - so we are showcasing some.   

My card features the new A Rainbow of Thanks set from the March 2026 release of new products and I'm loving it!

This card was made with five retiring In-Colors in a bright and fun design; using the Spotlighting technique -

How cute is that??  Here is the set -

I made another very similar card on my Facebook page using five colors of the rainbow - 

but so many color combination possibilities.

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities - Celebrate Spring - February 2026

 

Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop!!!  I am so excited to be a part of this team of hoppers sharing alternative designs for each month's Paper Pumpkin kit.  This month's kit is all about the February 2026 "Celebrate Spring" kit!!  Hopefully what we show will inspire you.  Be sure to hop all the way through to see what this amazing team has come up with!

~*~*~*~*~

~*~*~*~*~

 Soft looking beauty with a fun touch of cuteness - that describes this kit perfectly!

Such a fun kit to play with - and it pairs perfectly with the February Product of the Month - "Painted Illusions" DSP.

My first card makes the DSP the star of the card using elements from the kit and added a few In-Color flat pearls - and I love how it turned out.

 My second card uses the mint green card base, I cut out a square from the front layer; added a piece of the DSP behind it, and tucked the little bunny in to with you a "Happy Easter".  His ears are on a dimensional to give a little pop to the front of the card.

 Below is how it looks on the inside, showing off more the beautiful DSP.

Finally, I made these cute little tent style place cards using the stamp set - so easy and fun.  Can't wait to put them on the table at Easter dinner.

I hope you've enjoyed these alternative ideas.  Don't forget about the Add-On dies -

Beautiful Blooms Dies Add-On #167855 $13.00 (USD) —available to Paper Pumpkin subscribers, only while supplies last!

Now be sure to hop through the rest to get some more great inspiration.  Don't forget to leave a comment.
