This week we have Color Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s colors.
I used the new Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Fragrant Layers Bundle along with the Modern Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.
These are our colors for today. I chose to use Pretty in Pink for my other color.
Adhere a panel of Modern Christmas DSP to a Basic Black card base.
Cut a panel of Basic Black using the Fragrant Layers Dies. Adhere the die cut panel to a Pretty in Pink panel. Adhere the layered panel to the card front. Cut the small flower die cut using the Fragrant Layers Dies from a panel of Basic White. Adhere the flowers to the die cut panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a panel of Pretty in Pink, stamp the sentiment from Fragrant Layers stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Black Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment out using the Fragrant Layers Dies. Tie a bow with Black Baker’s Twine and adhere it to the card front. Adhere the sentiment over the bow with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few 2024-2026 In-Color Flat Pearls to the card front.
Stamp the sentiment from Fragrant Layers stamp set in tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the single outlined flower image from the Fragrant Layers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the Basic White panel. Stamp the solid single flower image from the Fragrant Layers stamp set in Pretty in Pink Ink over the outlined images. Adhere the die cut flowers to the flower centers. Add a few 2024-2026 In-Color Flat Pearls to the flowers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Pretty in Pink mat then to the inside of the Basic Black card base.
Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete the card. Stamp the large, outlined flower image from the Fragrant Layers stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front.

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.

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Happy Black Friday!!!! Who all heads out to go shopping today? Today’s my day to decorate my house for Christmas.

Good HOT Tuesday morning stamping friends. It’s supposed to hit just about 100 here in NJ today with the real feel of 110. Add the humidity and poor air quality to that and you have an inside crafting day. I did head out for a quick walk early this morning before the heat got too bad.
I have a super quick and easy card for you today for those times when you are heading out the door and realize you forgot the birthday card. I think I put this one together in less than 10 minutes. The stamp set I used along with some of the beautiful DSP makes a perfect quick card that others will think you took much longer to make. It took me longer to take the pictures than to make it. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Layered Thoughts Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Thoughtful Journey 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.
Stamp the sentiments from the Layered Thoughts stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP.
Adhere the stamped panel to a Cajun Craze mat with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Petal Pink card base with Stampin’ Seal.

Twelve states and Puerto Rico are having Back-to-School Sales Tax Holidays this year and some Stampin’ Up! items qualify for the tax break in those states!
The states with upcoming tax holidays are: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. So if you live in one of those states or Puerto Rico, take a second to download the spreadsheet below and mark your calendar!
Please note that you must place your order with Stampin’ Up! during the tax holiday period in your state in order to receive these items tax-free (which is midnight on the first day to midnight on the last day of the tax holiday). Also, keep in mind that this is a state sales tax holiday; the state statute may not apply to county, city, and special jurisdiction taxes.
For those wondering about Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, New Jersey, and Wisconsin, those states have suspended the sales tax holiday this year.
