Good Monday morning stamping friends. I hope you all had a great weekend. I’m almost done decorating; I got a couple of the very tedious things done Saturday. I have a few displays that I put up that just take a lot of patience and time. When they are done, they look so pretty, it’s just getting them done.

I have a super simple card for you today using new products coming January 6th from the January-April 2026 Mini Catalog and January Online Exclusives. Here’s my card for today.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Sweet Bugs Stamp Set along with the Cute As A Bug Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Lovely Arrangements Stamp Set for my card today.

Adhere a Cute As A Bug DSP card front to a Cloud Cover mat.

Warp a piece of the new Old Olive 3/8″ Specialty Rickrack (available January 6) around the layered panel. Adhere the layered panel to a Blackberry Bliss card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from Sweet Bugs stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on a panel of Basic White. Cut the ends of the panel into a banner with snips. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes (available January 6) to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Lovely Arrangements stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. Stamp the ant and flower images from the Sweet Bugs stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. Color the images with Cloud Cover, Darling Duckling, Old Olive and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Cloud Cover mat then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the ant and flower images from Sweet Bugs stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. Color the images with Darling Duckling, Old Olive and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Cute As A Bug DSP to the envelope flap.

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