A New Month, A Tender Start


HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!

As I write this, I’m on a road trip with my husband for his work trip—my first time tagging along! It’s been a whirlwind lately—April was filled with helping my mom and bonus mom unpack their new home, and diving into painting mode now. It’s been full speed ahead, but stepping into May has been… hard.

We said goodbye to our beloved Dozer. At 9½ years old, he was more than a pet—he was my shadow in the craft room, always napping nearby while I created. The room feels quieter now. Diesel is missing his buddy too, but we’re leaning on each other and taking it one day at a time. Thank you to everyone who’s sent kind messages—it means more than you know.

Even with heavy hearts, creativity keeps us moving—and today, May 6th, there’s lots of exciting news from Stampin’ Up! to brighten our crafty spirits:

  • The 2025–2026 Annual Catalog is Here!
    The brand-new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog has officially launched today, packed with fresh inspiration and creative possibilities to fuel your crafting passion.
  • New Online Exclusives Released!
    Alongside the catalog, a fabulous selection of Online Exclusives has been unveiled—unique products available only through the online store, offering even more options to spark your creativity.
  • Two New Kits Just Landed!
    Beautiful Blues and Share A Smile have joined the kits collection! Both are perfect for quick crafting sessions and creative inspiration.
  • Last Call for the Majestic Mountain Kit!
    Don’t miss out—May 10 is the final day to subscribe for this gorgeous nature-inspired kit.
  • Stampin’ Up! Starter Special
    Been thinking about joining? You can pick $165 worth of products for only $99—plus free shipping! If you’re on the fence, this is the sign you’ve been waiting for.
  • New Product Delay
    A quick heads-up: the 1 7/8” circle punch has been delayed. I’ll keep you posted when it’s back in stock!
  • New Website Feature Alert!
    You can now sign up for email notifications when an out-of-stock item becomes available. So helpful, right?

When I get back to the studio next week. I will be getting back to doing lives, videos, projects and more contents on the website. I have also made some adjustment to the LIVE graphic so you’d be able to tell whether it is related to Stampin’ Up! Or if it is Chalk Couture related since I’m also independent designer for Chalk Couture as well.

Here’s what’s been happening this week in the studio + all the Stampin’ Up! news you don’t want to miss! I’ve started setting up my office (woohoo! 🙌). The rest of the studio is still under plastic and I’m ordering air purifiers before the big move-in, but it’s getting there. Sneak peek below—please excuse the chaos. I’ve got a few ceiling spots to fix, then I’ll share a full video + photo tour once the basement is done. I’m slowly shifting things so I can paint the center area next. I’m very...
