Sunday Showcase…Customer Thank You Gifts

May 17, 2026May 17, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ Leave a comment

I was very busy last week cutting, sorting, and packaging the May Product Shares. I am happy to report they are in the mail and should arrive in your mailbox next Wednesday (according to tracking). I do have one extra share if anyone is interested. Click HERE or on the image below for all the details. When you see all the pretty papers, ribbon, and embellishments you will want to create with all of it!

Today I am sharing the customer gifts I included with each product share. I appreciate each and every order and love to create a little something as a token of my appreciation. This month I created a useful tool I use all the time! As you know, I love punches!!! Here’s why…
PUNCHES
– Are a quick and easy way to create paper shapes that add interest to craft projects.
– Are a great way to cut out stamped images—many of our stamp sets have coordinating punches.
– Are high quality, affordable, and easy to use.
– Have a sleek body style.
– Feature a large surface area for precise cutting and leverage.
– Lock to store.
– Are slim and stackable.

Punches make creating quick & easy, especially when it comes to adding sentiments. I created “templates” using our current label punches to make it easy to see which sentiments fit without having to pull out each and every punch.

I absolutely love the NEW Rounded Rectangle Punch in the May Catalog! I know this will get a lot of use in my crafting projects!!!

Add a classic punch shape to your crafting supplies with the Rounded Rectangle Punch. Use to punch out stamped sentiments or as a basic shape for your punch art paper projects.
You can purchase this punch separately or as part of the Exciting Times Bundle.

Pair all-occasion sentiments with a clean, sophisticated frame using the Exciting Times Bundle. The sentiments and images are sized to work with the coordinating punch, making it easy to add thoughtful greetings in no time.

These templates make it so quick & easy to see which sentiment fits within each punch.

I’m sure you have many sentiments that work with punches! Another favorite of mine is the Three Banner Punch. This punch also has a coordinating stamp set, Banner Sayings; however, it works with many other stamp sets as well!

It’s fun to play around and see which works best…there are so many possibilities!

If you follow my blog, you probably know that with me, it’s all about the presentation. I made my favorite “quick & easy gift packaging” using a 4×6 piece of DSP and Stampin’ Up! Clear Envelopes.

My punch templates measure 3 x 4. I folded the 6 x 4 DSP in half and placed the templates inside. These fit nicely in a Clear Medium Envelope which folds and seals. To keep this quick & simple, I stamped and punched the sentiment from Sharing Loving Crafting and adhered to the front! When you have to make multiple gifts you want something pretty & simple and this did it for me!

I also like to include a thank you card and I created this gift packaging to coordinate with the In Color pocket cards I shared previously.

A Closer Look at the NEW 2026-2028 In Colors

April 17, 2026April 17, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 4 Comments

www.juststampin.com
NEW MAGNETIC INK PADS

Beginning May 5, 2026, Stampin’ Up! will debut the NEW 2026–2028 In Colors along with a new magnetic, felt ink pad design. Existing ink pads will remain fully usable, with the updated design rolling out gradually through 2027 as part of a planned color transition.
Upcoming New 2026-2028 In Colors:

Crisp Cantaloupe
Barely Blush
Peaceful Pine
Golden Glow
Hydrangea Hue

Check out this video from Stampin’ Up! introducing the new colors and magnetic pads as well as some tips and techniques.

*Tip: It is really important to always “season” your new stamps. There are many ways to do this. You saw one way in the video above. I usually ink my new stamps with Versamark and stamp on my grid paper a few times to remove any residue. Another way is to use a Hi-Polymer (non-abrasive) eraser and gently rub on your new photopolymer stamps. I love these erasers and keep a clean one for stamps and another which I use when I’m crafting. Any of these techniques will help you get a better overall stamped image! Do you currently season your new stamps? Which technique do you like/use? I’d love to hear from you! Leave a comment below and share your experience.

To give you an idea of the new colors check out these color comparisons.
*The background color for each is the new In Color cardstock.

* The photos also show the size differences with the new ink pads vs. the current ink pads. All my different style/size Stampin’ Up! ink pads fit together in my Ink Pad Holder from Stamp-N-Storage (which I LOVE).

I am having so much fun creating with these new In Colors! Peaceful Pine is my absolute favorite green ever! It’s a toss up between Peaceful Pine and Hydrangea Hue for my new favorite In Color! What do you think? Which color(s) are you excited about?

You can get your hands on these new In Colors with my Just Stampin’ Special Edition 2026-2028 In Color Card Kit. I posted all the details yesterday.
