Hey y’all! Happy July and Happy 250th Birthday, America!

One of my favorite things about Fourth of July weekend is making memories with family and friends—backyard cookouts, fireworks lighting up the sky, kids running around with sparklers, and all those little moments that deserve to be remembered. It’s also the perfect excuse to pull out your scrapbook supplies and preserve those special memories while they’re still fresh. I always love creating layouts that capture the laughter, the celebration, and all the red, white, and blue fun of summer. ❤️🤍💙

Now on the crafty matters and Wow…there’s a lot to talk about this week! Stampin’ Up! has packed the beginning of July with exciting new products and plenty of reasons to get crafting

The new Online Exclusives have officially arrived, featuring adorable Halloween products, a beautiful new Christmas Suite that’s perfect for getting a head start on your holiday crafting, and much, much more. Along with that, we’re celebrating the launch of the brand-new Join Experience, two new Kits, the new Pretty Poinsettia Craft Class, and this month’s exclusive Product of the Month.

Whew…that’s a lot of exciting news already, isn’t it? And let’s just say…things are starting to warm up around here! 😉 I can’t spill the details quite yet, but you’ll definitely want to keep an eye on your inbox for an exciting announcement coming very soon.

I’m also excited to share the FREE July Fern & Flora Online Class PDF (details below), created by our talented demonstrator team and available as a thank-you gift with any purchase from my online store during July.
