This sweet little gift bag is one of those projects that looks special but is surprisingly easy to make. I love how a simple white bag becomes a keepsake just by adding a layered topper, a bit of soft blending, and a few stamped details.

 It’s perfect for welcoming a new baby, celebrating a shower, or even holding a small handmade gift. What really makes this project shine is how adaptable it is — change the colours, swap the sentiment, or use a favourite character stamp to suit any occasion. It’s a great reminder that you don’t need complicated designs to create something thoughtful and memorable.

Stampin’ Up! has just released a brand-new stamping tool called the Stampin’ Positioner, and it’s designed to make stamping easier, more accurate, and less stressful. It’s perfect for precise placement, repeating images, and Two-Step Stamping, especially when you want consistent results across multiple projects.

What does it do?

The Stampin’ Positioner helps you line up your stamps exactly where you want them. It’s ideal for:

• perfectly aligned images and sentiments
• repeating patterns and backgrounds
• Two-Step Stamping
• making multiples of the same project with confidence

How can you get it for free?

From February 3 to March 2, new demonstrators can receive the Stampin’ Positioner FREE when they sign up to become a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator.

This is one of those tools you can’t currently add to your cart. New demonstrators can receive it through this offer, and current demonstrators were able to pre-order it. It will be released for general purchase at a later date.

Why consider joining?

• Get the Stampin’ Positioner at no cost

If you’ve ever thought about becoming a demonstrator just for the discount, the tools, or the community, this is a really great time to take a closer look.

The Last Chance List from Stampin’ Up! has been updated with new items as of today. These products are retiring and are only available while supplies last, with many items marked down — once they’re gone, they’re gone for good.

One of my personal favourites, Textured Notes Dies is on the list!  I use these all the time for layering, focal panels, and adding interest without needing extra embellishments. If they’ve been on your wish list, this is a good time to take a look before they disappear.

February’s Product of the Month is the Painted Illusions 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper. This paper pack is full of soft watercolour washes and playful patterns that work beautifully for both card making and scrapbooking. It’s one of those versatile papers that adds interest without overpowering your stamped images — perfect for everyday crafting and seasonal projects alike.

Why you’ll love it:

• 12 sheets (3 each of 4 double-sided designs)
• 12" x 12" size
• Colours include Darling Duckling, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Lost Lagoon, Misty Moonlight, Petal Pink, and Pretty Peacock
• Coordinates easily with other Stampin’ Up! colours and products
• Suitable for cards, scrapbook pages, and paper crafting projects

How do you get it?

• Spend $100 in my online store and you’ll be offered the chance to purchase this stamp set for just $5 (while supplies last).

This sketch is one of my favourite layouts when I want to use patterned paper and still keep the design clean and balanced. The split background adds interest, while the circle focal point gives you a perfect spot to highlight a stamped image or sentiment. 

What I love most about this example is how it uses all the parts of the bundle in a different way — instead of focusing on the sheep, the spotlight is on the tulips and the greeting. It’s a great reminder that bundles offer so much versatility, and that sometimes stepping away from the “main image” can spark fresh ideas.
