He is Risen, Hope Restored

  

• Hope Restored - Easter Pop-Up Cross Card
• Last Chance Products Refreshed
• Eyelet Bloom Die - April 2026 Product of the Month
• Lakeside retreat April 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit

Wishing you a beautiful Easter filled with peace, renewal, and gentle joy.  Just as spring flowers begin to bloom, may your days be refreshed with hope and new beginnings.  May this season remind you of faith that carries us forward, love that surrounds us, and grace that lifts us through every moment.

This pop-up cross card features a mix of retired papers and favorite pieces among my favorites.  Its an inspiring way to make the most of your existing collection and a perfect way to create space as we prepare for a new Stampin' Up! catalog coming May 5, 2026.

The card base for this card is Thick Basic White.  Then, there are layers of Basic White, Moody Mauve and Wildly Flowering 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper.  The right edge includes a Moody Mauve die cut created using the Ornate Borders Dies.  The cross lies flat so the card ships in a standard envelope.

With the new Stampin' Up! catalog right around the corner, I wanted to rediscover and create with the beautiful supplies I already have to help make room for new products.  I encourage you to do the same with your wonderful collection of Stampin' Up! products you've curated over the years.
