Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. I’ve been MIA for a bit with cards; I’ve been trying to get my house completely decorated and juggling a car situation here. We’ve got 3 people sharing 1 car going in 3 different directions. Fingers crossed that we could get this all worked out sooner than later. In the meantime, with 3 of us sharing the car, it needs to go in for servicing and new tires. Why do things always happen around the holidays? I’m starting to realize that I need to get shopping done and get my cookie list together, so I know what ingredients I need. I need more than 4 weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, or I need to start getting lists together in October, so it doesn’t sneak up so quickly. Is anyone else feeling that way?

Today’s card uses new and older Online Exclusives along with a new set coming in the January-April 2026 Mini Catalog. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Addressed To You Stamp Set (available January 6), along with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder, Online Exclusives Everyday Happiness Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Pop-Up Petals Stamp Set for my card today.

Emboss a panel of Everyday Happiness DSP using the Exposed Brick EF. Adhere the embossed pane to a Gray Granite card base.

Adhere 3 panels of Everyday Happiness DSP to a Gray Granite mat. Adhere the layered panel to the card front

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the outline and flower images from the Addressed To You stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. Stamp the sentiments from the Addressed To You stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink inside the outlined image. Color the leaves and dots using Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers. Use the Clear Wink of Stella to fill in the flowers. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the flowers.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Pop-Up Petals stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. Stamp the small flower image from the Addressed To You stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the top of the panel. Color the image with Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Everyday Happiness DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the inside of the Gray Granite card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the small flower image from the Addressed To You stamp set in Gray Granite Ink on the envelope front. Color the image with Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Everyday Happiness DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and maybe you’ll have this set on your wish list for January. Happy Stamping!!

New Product Of The Month from Stampin’ Up! Available

The December Product of the Month is available and it’s beautiful. The True Blue Florals 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper is available for $5 with a qualifying order of $75 + before shipping & tax, but only while supplies last.

If you love exclusive products, you’re going to love Product of the Month, a promotion centered around a special product release every month!  The Product of the Month items are specially designed to be some of the best items Stampin’ Up! has to offer that aren’t available in any of our catalogs or our Online Exclusives.

The first Product of the Month is now available to order and it will be available while supplies last!!

Every month Stampin’ Up! will release a new item that is only available for purchase once per account. These items will be limited quantity and are likely to sell out quickly once they’re sold out, they’re gone for good! 

Here are the details:

• Qualifying Amounts. 

You can purchase the Product of the Month item for only $5 when you spend $75 or more in a single order. Your cart total MUST be $75 or more at checkout to qualify. You cannot add the Product of the Month to your cart until you’ve reached the qualifying amount. If you use Stampin’ Rewards, coupons, or discount codes on your order and your cart amount falls below $75, you’ll need to add items in your cart to get the total at or above the qualifying amount again. If you reach the qualifying amount, add the Product of the Month to your cart, and the Product of the Month sells out before you’re able to check out, you won’t be able to complete your checkout until you remove the product from your cart.

• Product of the Month Price. Currently the Product of the Month is only $5. 
• Stampin’ Up! Account. To participate in Product of the Month, you MUST have a Stampin’ Up! account.
• A New Product Every Month. Stampin’ Up! will release a new Product of the Month item every month. The Product of the Month items will be available at midnight sometime near the beginning of every month. Keep an eye out for the Product Of The Month to be announced and when the new Product of the Month item will be available. You will be able to view the newly released products on the Product of the Month page in the Online Store.
• Product of the Month Purchasing Limit. The Product of the Month is limited to one month’s product per Stampin’ Up! account. Additionally, the Product of the Month items are only available while supplies last, so once they’re all sold out, they’re gone for good. 
• Order Restrictions. All types of orders (as long as the person ordering has a Stampin’ Up! account), and phone orders all apply toward the qualifying amount for a single order. Starter Kit orders and gift orders do NOT apply toward the qualifying amount. You cannot qualify for the Product of the Month by making separate purchases that eventually amounts to $75 or more. The only way you can qualify for Product of the Month is with a single order that reaches the qualifying amount.
• Canceled Orders. If you have an order with a Product of the Month included in it, and you decide to cancel the order, you WILL be able to re-qualify and re-purchase the Product of the Month as long as it’s still available.
• Starter Kits. When someone orders a Starter Kit, the price of the kit will NOT count toward the qualifying amount to earn the Product of the Month. After purchasing a Starter Kit, your next order will begin to qualify for the Product of the Month.
• Available Until Sold Out. Product of the Month products will be available until they’re sold out. Once they’re sold out, they won’t be available for purchase again. If you didn’t qualify to purchase the Product of the Month during the month it was first offered and it’s still available in the following months, you can purchase that product once you reach the qualifying amount. So, if you didn’t qualify in January but you qualify in February, you can choose to buy the January Product of the Month, provided it’s still available for purchase and you meet the qualifying amount. If you buy the January Product of the Month but still want the February Product of the Month, you’ll need to qualify again.

Here is a short video from Stampin’ Up! with a few of the details:
