Spring Forward: Refreshing My May Planning & Papercraft Favorites

It is so incredible to see some of my favorite memories from 2015 and 2016 resurfacing lately! Looking back at those May archives, I’m reminded of why I started My Grandma's Teacups in the first place—the love of tactile paper, the peace of a well-organized planner, and that unmistakable "Grandma-core" warmth that makes a house a home.

As we head into April and May 2026, I’ve been thinking about how my creative process has evolved. While the heart of my journaling remains the same, my tools and techniques have grown right along with me.

What’s Trending in My Spring Basket This Year:

  • Vintage Botanical Junk Journals: There’s something about May flowers that demands tea-stained paper and floral ephemera. I’m revisiting some of my favorite layouts from years past and giving them a fresh 2026 twist.
  • Intentional Planning: Back in 2016, I was all about the "busy." Today, my planning is more about wellness and finding white space. It’s about solving the pain point of "over-scheduling" and replacing it with creative soul-care.
  • The Joy of Reading: I’m currently diving into some beautiful Regency romances that pair perfectly with a quiet afternoon of papercrafting.

If you’ve found your way here through one of my older Spring posts—welcome! I am so glad you’re part of this community. I’d love to hear: What is one Spring craft or planning habit you’ve kept for years? Let’s chat in the comments!

My Christmas Gift List: Trophy Wife Aprons

Image
As you know I love all things vintage and rarely do I fall in love with something this cute and trendy. It does have the vintage vibe since it is an apron...but let me tell you...these are certainly not your Grandma's apron. Not mine anyway. They are so cute you will want to get one for all the women on your Christmas List. Emmanuella is a true artist with her sewing designs. Hi everyone, my name is Emmanuella Koenig with Trophy-Wife Aprons. I started to sew as a teenager on my mom's sewing machine. I bought my very first portable sewing machine at 21 years old. I felt like a queen with my new toy. I worked in an office up to few years ago and made all my clothes. Fabric was less costly then. I have 2 sons which sometimes, as you know, can take-up quite a bit of my free time. I have the best husband in the world... sorry ladies, he is mine and all mine! I love wearing aprons and because it was impossible to find nice ones out there, I decided to make my own...

FabScraps Design Team Unboxing: Holly Jolly Christmas & All Aboard Collections

Image
Hi everyone! I am so excited to finally share my latest design team package from FabScraps. I may have been a little "negligent" on my recent project wrap-ups, but I promise the wait was worth it! I had to improvise a bit with a steak knife to get into this box (don't tell my kids!), but inside was an absolute papercrafting treasure. A Holly Jolly Christmas 🎄 First up is the Holly Jolly Christmas Collection . If you love traditional reds and greens but want that vintage flair, this is for you. Some of my favorite bits include: The "Chipboard" Goodies: Adorable reindeer, snowflakes, and "Joy to the World" die cuts. The Ultimate Cheat Code: I am obsessed with the "cut-apart" sheets. They make creating Christmas cards so easy—it’s almost like cheating! Stocking Stencil: There’s a clever envelope stencil with a stocking detail that I can't wait to show you in a technique video soon. All Aboard for Nautical Inspiration ⚓ Next, we dived in...

My Grandma's Teacups: Turn your Cricut Explore into a Paper Doll Cutter

Making Prima Julie Nutting Doll Stamps Easier with Cricut Cut Files (No More Fussy Cutting!) Why this game-changing tutorial is getting crafter clicks worldwide So it’s no secret that I am totally crazy about Prima Marketing’s Julie Nutting Dolls Stamps . I mean — I talk about them a lot… okay, really, really a lot. But they bring me such joy! They’re whimsical, expressive, and perfect for cards, scrapbooks, tags, journal layouts, planner spreads… You name it. But not everyone shares my undying love for fussy cutting all those tiny layers. Why This Matters: The Pain Point Every Crafter Knows Some of my crafty friends were less than thrilled about cutting out the myriad tiny pieces that make these dolls come to life. They liked the look of the finished product, but the process? Not so much. I get it — spending time with small, fiddly pieces isn’t everyone’s idea of creative zen. And let me confess something: that diminished my joy a bit. I wanted everyone to love them as much...
