Amazing Stars

When I saw the October Product of the Month, I knew I'd be pacing an order the day they were available. I LOVE stars. Always have. I have many retired star products from the past and will probably buy whatever comes out in the future. They are so fun and versatile. They work really well for masculine cards, cards for teenagers, Halloween, Christmas, New Year, graduation and so much more. They can pretty well be used for any happy occasion (in my opinion) depending on the vibe your going for. 

I will warn you, I really think these are going to sell out before the month is out this time. Dies are always popular and a set of 23 for $5 is a steal of a deal. You just need to have a qualifying order total of $75 (after all coupons and discounts have been applied) before you can add them to your purchase. Don't wait if you need these!



Supplies

Secret Sea: 4-1/4" X 11", scored at 5-1/2" on the long side + a small scrap for die cutting stars

October 2026 Product of the Month!

The October Product of the Month, Shining Stars Dies, is available starting today! You get 23 star dies for just $5 (USD) with a $75 (USD) qualifying purchase. That is a steal! I would estimate these at a $35 value. If you want these dies, I would order sooner rather than later. I have a feeling they will sell out before the month is over. And once they're gone, they will not be restocked.

Luxe Birthday

I used a Creative Collab Crew sketch that I found on Pinterest for this card. It looks like someone took a screenshot of an Instagram post by @emkcreationsil and pinned it. That's all I know, but this is a great sketch. I have definitely made cards with this design before, but it's very handy to have measurements so you don't have to figure it out again later. 

Don't forget, this lovely foiled DSP is the September 2026 Product of the Month for Stampin' Up! and once it sells out, it is gone forever. You get 12 sheets (4 each of 3 colors/designs) for just $5 with a qualifying $75 USD purchase right now!




Cardstock:
Very Vanilla: 8-1/2" X 5-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" and folded in half on the long side, my die cut is 3-1/2" X 2", optional panel on the inside is 4-1/2" X 5-3/8"
If you didn't want to buy 12 sheets of this color, you could get the Exploring Nature Two-Tone Cardstock Variety Pack instead.

Luxe Foliage: See sketch measurements, also die cut some of the florals from the Secret Sea pattern for the inside

Luxe Note

I love to take a square die cut and turn it to make a diamond. I think it's a fun look and somewhat different than your average, everyday card. And I'm loving these new Tile Garden decorative square dies! I hope they stay around forever. They'll be used just as much as my beloved circle version--the Spotlight on Nature Dies.

This blue pattern in this Luxe Foliage Specialty DSP is my favorite one. No surprise since Secret Sea is one of my very favorite SU colors. And, in my personal opinion, you can use leaf springs on pretty much any card. Right?
