Hey there, crafty friends!
Let’s start with something super exciting: Stampin’ Up!’s Starter Kit special for May is seriously the best deal in the catalog right now!
Normally, when you join Stampin’ Up!, you get to choose $125 in product for just $99—plus free shipping, a past Paper Pumpkin kit, and business supplies, including a pack of 8 catalogs to share with your crafty crew.
But this month, they’ve bumped up the value:
👉 You now get to choose $165 in product and still pay only $99!
You still get the free shipping, the free Paper Pumpkin, and the full set of business supplies.
Now, here’s the best part: you do you.
There’s no pressure, no minimum orders every week or month if you choose.
You can be your own happy shopper—think of it like a BJ’s or Costco membership for craft supplies. You shop from yourself and save 20% on all your orders.
If you decide to turn it into a business? Awesome! You can earn 20% commission on every order you collect. But again, it’s totally your choice.
Whether you craft for fun or are ready to share your love of stamping with others, this deal is worth considering. No strings. Just stamps. 🎉
Now, let’s talk about our adorable project of the night—because this piggy stole the show!
🐷 Meet the Party Piggy!
We kicked things off with a fun shaker card featuring the “What’s Shakin’, Bacon?” sentiment and some chewy Tic Tacs inside the belly for extra shake! I had planned to use Nerds candy (hello, maximum shake!), but these did the trick.
And the star of the show?
A wobbly piggy head thanks to a springy Action Wobble from my craft stash. (Yes, I actually found it when I needed it—small miracle!)
Here’s a quick breakdown of what we used for this card:
-
Petal Pink cardstock (8½" x 5½", scored at 4¼")
-
Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder for that textured layer
-
Spotlight on Nature Dies for the big circle base
-
Small Circle Shaker Domes (perfectly fit that piggy belly!)
-
Stampin’ Blends in Petal Pink to shade his cute little snout and ears
-
Scraps for stamping the piggy and sentiment (“What’s Shakin’ Bacon?”)
This little piggy is such a joy to craft with—she’s cute, she shakes, she wobbles, and she brings the party with her every time.
This project was just one of three cards I shared during the live:
-
The Shaker Wobbler Card (“What’s Shakin’, Bacon?”)
-
A fun-fold birthday card featuring the party piggy with her little flags
-
Another shaker card with glitz and glitter in the piggy belly and a festive birthday hat!
I even managed to use every single stamp in the set except for “I am so proud of you.” (Don’t worry—it’s on deck for next time!)
If you missed the live, no worries—you can still catch the replay on YouTube. And if you’re ready to join Stampin’ Up! and get in on the May special, reach out or [click here to join]!
Let’s make May extra piggy and extra crafty! 🐖💕
Happy stamping,
