What’s the Scoop with Cloud Cover?

One of our beautiful new InColors has run into a glitch! Cloud Cover is one of 5 new In Colors. It’s beautiful, unique, and unlike any of our other colors. Here is an explanation:

There is an issue with the ink pad but no other Cloud Cover products:

Apparently, there CAN be a shift/change of the actual color when using the ink pad. It’s not consistent which made it very frustrating within the testing process and then working towards a solution. The ink reacts differently with our firm foam standard ink pad than with other products. That means the markers and blends are fine.

April Pals Blog Hop: Masculine Cards!

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month’s theme is “Male Room.” The Pals hope to inspire you with their masculine card ideas and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. Links to the participant’s blogs can be found at the end of each post to help you “hop” along!

Here is my masculine birthday card, a fun fold pop up card. It looks like this on the outside:

And then opens up to this:

The bottom flap of the card folds up and under the top ‘cap’ in order to close the card, and when you open it, the sentiments ‘pops up!’ Thanks to Sunny Day Stamping for the pop-up card layout. It’s really fun to make, and the possibilities are endless! Here are the measurements and materials needed:

  • Basic Black:
    • Card Base: 3 ¾” x 9 ¾”
    • Score at 5 ¼”
    • Top ‘Cap’ of the card: 4 ¼” x 2 ½”, score at 1 ¼”
    • I also used a rectangle of B. Black for the white-embossed sentiment on the inside
  • Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper: 
    • Front Panel: 3 ½” x 4 ¼”
    • Front Strip for ‘cap’: 4” x 1”
    • Panel for the back of the inside of card: 3 1/4 x 4 3/4″
  • Gray Granite:
    • Pop-Up Insert: 3 ½” x 9 ¼”, score at 5”
  • Ribbon or Baker’s Twine: 24”

The Beautiful Gallery DSP contains so many gorgeous designs, many of which can be used for more masculine-feel projects. The pattern I used is one such design, with Basic Black, Gray Granite, and Slate Gray hues. Start by folding the card base up at the score mark so the shorter end is on top, and the fold of the card is toward you.

Adhere the front panel of DSP to the front of the card. Adhere the DSP strip to the front of the Basic Black cap piece. Fold the cap piece over the top of the card base. Adhere the cap to the back of the card base so it will cover the top of the card.

Take the inside Gray Granite piece, fold at the score, and make your slits as specified here:

  • With folded edge at top, cut a ¾” slit at 1 ½” and 2”
  • Score at base of slit, and then ‘pop out’ to make a little square You will create a popped-up square on which you will adhere your popped-up sentiment. Please see the green dotted square below:

Stamp the sentiment toward the bottom of the panel, and then adhere the Gray Granite inside panel to the card base by lining up both score lines.

Create your popped-up element, whether it be a sentiment panel like mine, a stamped diecut, or whatever shape you want to pop up! Adhere the back of the pop-up piece to the little square pop-up and make sure it all folds properly. Add some bling to the front of the card as desired.

Tie a length of baker’s twine around the top so the card will stay closed when you tuck the bottom half of the card under the cap. You are done!

Besides the products found at the bottom of this page, note that I used some products that will be available to everyone on May 6, both online and in the new Annual Catalog:

  • Layered Thoughts Stamp Set
  • Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Papers
  • Pressed Flower Motifs

I can’t wait for you to be able to see all the beautiful new products. This DSP is so gorgeous! And if you are a customer of mine, you should be receiving your new annual catalog in the mail soon!

Important: Get Ready for an Even Better SU! Rewards Program!


Stampin’ up! is making it easier than ever to earn rewards on your purchases! Starting April 15, 2025, every order of $20 or more earns 10% back in Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Rewards to be used on future purchases – no host codes, and no tiers!

Why the update? Because YOU deserve more perks, more often!

  • Earn 10% in Stampin’ Rewards on every purchase starting at just $20 (before shipping and tax).
  • Use Stampin’ Rewards on Future Orders. Let Stampin’ Rewards build and redeem when you want. Rewards expire after 1 year.
  • Have Simplied Tracking. Track & redeem rewards easily in your Stampin’ Up! account
  • PLUS! You no longer need to worry about adding a host code to your order!

An online Stampin’ Up! account is required to earn Stampin’ Rewards, which most, if not all of my customers already have! When you log in to place your first order after the new rewards program goes live (April 15), a pop up will appear at checkout asking if you would like to join the Stampin’ Rewards program!​


Get ready for a 13-day Extravaganza! This is the last half month for Host Codes, and then they will be going away! Instead, you will receive a 10% product credit from every order you make. The credits can be accrued, and used on any order for up to one year!

SO I’M DOING SOMETHING SPECIAL for this last month. From April 1-13, make an order of $50 or more (before shipping and tax) with this Host Code, and receive a brand new package of embellishments of your choice from the NEW ANNUAL CATALOG. In addition, your name will go into a drawing for a FREE STAMP SET of your choice from the new Annual Catalog!

If you order is more than $150, do not use the host code, and you will STILL receive the Embellishments AND all the Stampin’ Rewards for your order!

You have SO many products to choose from this month:

The Last Chance Products, where you’ll find many products at a fraction of their original price, which will be updated April 1: https://www.stampinup.com/…/specials/last-chance-products

The Online Exclusives, full of new and glorious stuff. Take a look for yourself! https://www.stampinup.com/…/featured…/online-exclusives

The Kits Collection — don’t underestimate the power of a KIT! So fun to use with family and friends of any age! ALL the prep is done for you! https://www.stampinup.com/…/other-products/kits-collection

HERE’S THE HOST CODE YOU MUST USE IN ORDER TO GET YOUR FREE GIFT: JND9WWAB

ORDERS MUST BE PLACED BY APRIL 13!
