True Blue Florals Fun Fold Do you recognize this Designer Series Paper? Did you know you can only get it while supplies last in the month of December 2025? This paper is the December Product of the Month and you can buy the entire pack of 12" by 12" DSP for only $5 after you have spent $75 (before shipping and tax and after adding your rewards) on a single order. Starting now, Stampin' Up will have a Product of the Month each month that you can earn this way and they will change every month. If the product lasts past the given month, you may be able to buy it the following month, until they run out.  This DSP is called True Blue Florals and is a full 12" by 12" pack of DSP featuring florals and other designs in Night of Navy and Balmy Blue. Some designs are more masculine and others more flowery. I also used the upcoming (from the Jan Online Exclusives) Lovely Arrangements bundle for the stamps and the die cut for the sentiment as well as the embellishments. I a...

Made with Love Sneak Peak  You are going to love the new Made with Love suite in the 2026 Jan-April Mini Catalog. I know we haven't even had Christmas and Chanukah yet, but as card makers we need to be looking ahead to the next holiday that most of us send cards for, Valentine's Day. And this suite was built to handle that task. I've used nearly everything in the suite in this one card, starting with the Designer Series Paper that includes nearly all the pinks and reds that Stampin' Up makes. Then we have a gorgeous new 3D embossing folder that makes whorls of little hearts. The suite also includes the 1/4" Bubble Bath ribbon above and some adorable loose embellishments of hearts, envelopes, lips and sprinkles. So cute!  If you want to see it all, please watch my Facebook Live linked below where I show you how to make this card. Then come back every Monday at 1 pm PST and watch me make another card. Let's make this card! Gather your supplies: Real Red cardstock...

I was looking for a way to use my blue glimmer paper and my stash of Peaceful Garden DSP as I had bought a lot of both and decided to make a Christmas card in non-traditional colors and here it is. I love how sparkly the Glimmer Paper is and how well it compliments the Peaceful Garden DSP. And I feel like we could all use some extra glimmer at the holiday time.  Let's make this card! Gather your supplies: Cloud Cover cardstock—card base 4 ¼” by 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼” on the long side. Second piece die cut using the Pine Tree Trimmings. ½” strip for sentiment Peaceful Garden DSP—4” by 5 ¼”, the smaller strip is 2 ½” by 5 ½” Basic White cardstock—inside piece  3 ¾” by 5” Glimmer Paper— die cut one of each color using the Pine Tree Trimmings Stamp sets—Pine Tree Trimmings, Peace on Earth Dies—Pine Tree Trimmings Ink—Versamark, Cloud Cover, Memento Black Silver Drusy ...
