May 2026 Product of the Month: Berry Botanical Vellum

So far, I'm loving the Products of the Month (POM)! They've offered a good variety: Designer Series Paper, stamp sets, a background die and now 12" X 12" vellum! The product of the month is always 'while supplies last'. You can only purchase each POM once. Even demonstrators can only purchase 1 of each POM. If the POM is a stamp set, be sure you are purchasing the correct language. In North America, they offer us both English and French. Right now, the March 2026 POM, Notes of Spring, is only available in French. For that stamp set, there were only 3 sentiment stamps, so getting the French version may not be too bad if you like the animal and grass images.

Here's my version of the 'HAPPY' card. I used Peaceful Pine instead for my cardbase.

My cardbase is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2", scored at 2 3/4" to create a 8 1/2" X 2 3/4" card.

This will fit in an #10 envelope because the envelope is 4 1/8" X 9 1/2" leaving lots of room for a highly decorated card. Remember, it still needs to be thinner than 1/4" for you'll need more postage in the US.

To create the envelope:

Start with a piece of paper 10" X 6 1/2"

Score down both short sides at 5/8".

Score down both long sides at 1 3/4".

Trim the top corners that will be the flap.

Adhere the envelope flaps.

Here's a visual for you.
