🎀Sweet Bugs, Stunning Paper & a Ship Full of Stamping!🎀

Published: Wed, 02/11/26

Hello .

Hello my crafty friends,

There’s so much creative goodness happening right now! The February Product of the Month is here — the beautiful Painted Illusions 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper. With its soft watercolour washes and delicate white patterns, it’s perfect for everything from elegant cards to whimsical scrapbook pages. Add it to your $100 order for just $5 and you’ll still earn 10% in Stampin’ Rewards.

And speaking of exciting things… our Alaska Stampin’ Cruise (May 30 – June 6, 2027) is already creating a buzz! We’ll be sailing round-trip from Vancouver on Royal Caribbean’s Serenade of the Seas for seven unforgettable nights of breathtaking scenery and relaxed creative time. Cabins are filling quickly, so if this has been on your heart, now is the time to take a closer look.

Plus, the Sweet Bugs Class is coming in March! This playful suite is full of charm and cheerful details, and I can’t wait to share the projects I’m designing. It’s going to be colourful, creative, and so much fun.

Stampin' Smiles,

Glenda

MARCH CLASS - SWEET BUGS! 🐞

4 Days Left To Register!

I’m so excited to introduce my March Card Class, Club and Monthly Tutorial Subscription, and this one is full of charm and happy spring vibes.

We’ll be creating cards using the Sweet Bugs bundle, part of the adorable Cute As A Bug Suite, and I know you’re going to love these playful designs.

If you attending my Spring 2026 Creative Escape, no worries — these cards are completely different. While they feature the same Sweet Bugs bundle, the projects in this March class are brand new and were designed specifically for this event.

This class offers in-person, virtual, and tutorial-only options, so you can join in whatever way works best for you. Registration is open now and runs until February 15, and spots are limited.

If you’d like the Kits Plus Stuff option for FREE, be sure to place a minimum $75 order by February 15 to qualify. It’s a fun way to get the class for free while adding new goodies to your craft room.

All the dates, options, and pricing are included on the poster below. This is the first time I’m sharing this class, and I can’t wait to craft these Sweet Bugs projects with you in March. Click on the link below to register now! 🐞💗

Still Thinking About Alaska? 🛳️ Don’t Wait…

If the Alaska Stampin’ Cruise caught your eye when I first announced it, this is your friendly nudge — Balconies sold out!

We’ll be sailing on Royal Caribbean’s Serenade of the Seas for a 7-night Alaska cruise, round-trip from Vancouver, BC, Canada, from May 30 to June 6, 2027.

Think breathtaking scenery, unforgettable ports, relaxed creative time, and the joy of traveling with people who love crafting and adventure.

✨ Special group rates are already in place, including:

Interior staterooms starting at $1412.23 per person

Ocean view balcony staterooms at ~~$2208.23 per person~~ SOLD OUT
Ocean view (no balcony) also available but deposit is non refundable.

(Prices include taxes, fees, and gratuities.)

A refundable deposit of $265 per person secures your spot, and registration is open now until August 1, 2026 — or until the cabins are gone, whichever comes first.

The crafting sessions are thoughtfully planned for cruising days only, so they won’t interfere with excursions or port time. You’re also welcome to bring your best crafting buddy or significant other, even if they don’t craft — this trip is designed to be flexible and fun for everyone. The price for the craft sessions and access to the Stamping Room is $195 per person. At least 1 person in each cabin must register for the Stamping Sessions. I am working on a fun add on class for those of you who want to craft during port days.

If this has been sitting on your bucket list, now is the time to take the next step.

👉 For cabin options, pricing details, and booking, please email our Travel Agent Host:
Yvette McKay MacPhail at ymckay@trevello.com

Email me for crafty information at gjmollet@shaw.ca

This is one of those experiences you don’t want to hear about later and wish you’d joined. Alaska, creativity, cruising, and community — all wrapped into one unforgettable week. 💙

Yvette and I hosted a Q&A Session on Thursday night (Jan 29th) and I am happy to share the youtube replay link with you...

February's Product of the Month

The brand-new Product of the Month for February is now available. Add it to your order for just $5 when you spend $100! You'll earn 10% in Stampin' Rewards too.

This month's exclusive product is the Painted Illusions 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper.

Shop our full product range and add items to your cart totalling $100 or more. There's a handy tracker to show you how much you need to spend.
Once your order reaches $100, click to add the Product of the Month to your cart for just $5.
That's it! You'll get your exclusive product with your order.

If you redeem Stampin' Rewards or use coupon or discount codes, your cart total is reduced. You'll need to add more items to your cart to reach the qualifying total again.

Save this useful guide so you'll always know how to get your Product of the Month.

Product of the Month Reminders

Each monthly exclusive is a specially-designed product that isn't available in any of our catalogues or our Online Exclusives. Each month's release is available only while supplies last, so once it's sold out it's gone for good! You'll only be able to get one of each month's exclusive product. If a Product of the Month remains in stock after the month ends, you can order it in future months with a qualifying purchase, as long as you haven't already ordered it. So if you didn't get December's exclusive DSP or January's must-have Fabulous Sayings Photopolymer Stamp Set yet, you can choose either of those instead of February's new option, but only while supplies last.

You'll need to have a Stampin' Up! account to take advantage and claim your Product of the Month with your qualifying order. If you don't have an account, you can create one at stampinup.ca, or I can send you an invitation. You have to reach the qualifying amount of $100 in a single order; you can't combine multiple orders of lower amounts to qualify.

Don't delay! February's Product of the Month, the Painted Illusions 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, is only available while supplies last.

THIS HAPPENED LAST WEEK

IN MY CRAFT ROOM

Tuesday, February 3
I went live at 7:30pm (PT) with the Fragrant Layers bundle, and this project was all about graceful layering without overwhelm. The florals did the heavy lifting while I kept the design soft, balanced, and elegant.

By giving the layered blooms a little breathing room and framing them thoughtfully, the card stayed polished instead of busy. It’s a beautiful birthday design, but easily adaptable for thank yous, thinking of you cards, or just-because moments. That flexibility is exactly what makes this bundle such a gem.

Wednesday, February 4
The Wednesday newsletter landed bright and early at 8:00am (PT), my favourite midweek creative check-in with you.

That evening at 7:30pm (PT) I shared a card using the Lovely Arrangements bundle, along with another Fragrant Layers design featuring a fun technique using rubbing alcohol and Stampin’ Blends. A little experimenting, a little blending, and a whole lot of creative play.

Thursday, February 5
Our Simply Beautiful Virtual Class was scheduled for Thursday, but it was pre-empted for a small procedure. No worries though, we’re simply shifting the creativity to Thursday, February 12. Crafting postponed, not cancelled.

Monday, February 9
Back live at 7:30pm (PT), I created a soft and elegant handmade card using the Lovely Arrangements bundle. This design focused on gentle layering, timeless florals, and a calm colour story that feels heartfelt without trying too hard.

It’s the kind of card you’ll reach for again and again, perfect for sending a thoughtful hello or a little encouragement. I shared tips throughout the process so you can recreate the look with ease using supplies you already love.

THIS IS HAPPENING THIS WEEK

IN MY CRAFT ROOM

Tuesday, February 10
Last night I was live in the craft room creating a beautiful card using the Greenery Lane suite, and I just love how this one turned out. The soft botanical elements and layered details make it such a versatile design for birthdays, thank you cards, or just-because moments. If you missed it, don’t worry — you can watch the replay below and stamp along with me anytime.

It's Wednesday and that means the Sunshine Club Seniors group at 10 am!

Tonight at 7:30 pm PT I’ll be live creating a beautiful card with the Lovely Arrangements bundle. This one is a fun fold design that adds a little extra interest while still keeping that clean, elegant floral look. I’ll walk you through the layout, layering tips, and how to make it come together smoothly from start to finish. I’d love for you to join me live, or you can catch the replay afterward if that works better for you. 💙

Thursday, February 12

We will be doing the postponed Simply Beautiful Virtual Class, and we’ll be getting started at 6:30 pm PT. This class is all about relaxed, creative time and beautiful projects you can enjoy from the comfort of your craft room. If you’re registered, make sure to have your supplies ready and settle in a few minutes early — it’s going to be a lovely evening of stamping together.

Monday, February 16
At 7:30 pm PT I’ll be live creating a soft and elegant card using the Brushed With Beauty bundle. This design features layered florals, subtle texture, and a gentle pop of colour that makes it perfect for thank you or appreciation cards. I’ll share tips for blending, layering, and keeping your layout balanced so it looks polished without feeling complicated. I’d love to have you join me live, and if you can’t, the replay will be available afterward. 💙

Free Weekly Tutorial Just For You!

This week’s free tutorial is a fun little wink to book lovers everywhere, featuring the On Display Bundle and a simple masking technique that adds just the right touch of depth.

Using Night of Navy, Old Olive, and Crumb Cake, paired with Country Woods DSP, we bring those stamped bookshelves to life. The upright books are masked and inked in Old Olive first. Then the mask comes off and the leaning books are stamped in Night of Navy, creating that layered look without adding extra cardstock. It’s clean, clever, and surprisingly satisfying.

Have you tried two-ink stamping with masking before? It’s one of those techniques that feels like a magic trick the first time you do it. If you give it a try, be sure to share your creation in my Share It Saturday post on Facebook. I truly love seeing what you create.

I can’t wait to see your creations! Please share them in my Share-It Saturday post over on my Facebook VIP Group

Thank you for being part of this wonderful creative community.

Whether you’re crafting at your kitchen table or dreaming about stamping at sea, I’m so grateful we get to share this journey together.

Don’t forget to share your creations in my Share It Saturday post on Facebook — I absolutely love seeing what you make.

Stay inspired, keep creating, and I’ll see you in the craft room soon.

Creative hugs,
Glenda 💕

P.S. If Alaska is calling your name, don’t wait too long — cabins are booking steadily and I would love for you to cruise and create with us!
