I thought it would be fun to create a card showcasing the products from the Linked Together Bundle. It’s in the new Mini Catalog on pages 48 and 49.
Although, I didn’t use every stamped image and die included in the Bundle, There’s a selection from each crafting category in the Bundle. I used two stamped images, five of the seven dies, and three of the five Decorative Masks in my card design.
So, let’s make a card!
Parts & Pieces
The Crumb Cake card base is 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″.
I cut a Crumb Cake cardstock layer 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ to ink a stenciled pattern. The pattern is subtle, but adds dimension to the card. The inked stencil layer also creates a “pattern repeat” with the lattice die cut layer.
I completed the inked pattern, then trimmed the cardstock layer to 3 3/4″ x 5″.
This will be the top layer for the card front.
The wood patterned paper mat layer is 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
I used the large lattice die in the Linked Together Dies, to cut two panels – one from Early Espresso cardstock, and the second uses the wood patterned paper.
I glued the patterned paper die cut lattice to the Early Espresso lattice die cut.
This process adds dimension to the lattice layer without Dimensionals.
The sentiment layer, flowers and leaf vines are die cuts from the Dies.
I stamped a sentiment on the inside of the card and decorated it with die cut flowers.
I love, love, love the font in the Linked Together stamp set. It’s a sentiment builder stamp set with clean, large sentiments.
Once I chose my paterned paper and color palette, putting this card together was fun. Using the bright colors against a neutral background is somehting I haven’t done in a while. And the perfect match for a sentiment layer is Basic Beige – another versatile “Neutral”.
So, take a look at the Linked Together Bundle, imagine what you can do with it, and add it to your craft room shelf. This Bundle is one that has amazing possibilities.
The cards are showcasing the Regal Flora Designer Series Paper. One is a popular Fun Fold design, and the second is a quick and easy design you can use for any occasion.

With each Stampin’ Up! Catalog launch, a new set of Memories & More Cards is included. I think I have purchased just about every set. They’re meant to be used as journaling cards for the Memories & More Product Line. I use them to create quick and easy cards to keep in my stash. They’ve become a “go to” for me. I always have them to send a quick note to someone special.
The Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Cards were on my “A” List for the Spring Mini. They’re showcased on pages 16 and 17 of the Mini Catalog. If you are a beginner card maker, the card pack is perfect for you. Just add a pack of Note Cards & Envelopes, your favorite adhesive, and you’ll be on your way! The price point is fabuloous!

I put together a quick and easy set of four note cards using the new Grow With Love Bundle. It’s one of the new Bundles featured in the Online Exclusives. There’s so much you can do with these pretty herb-themed stamped images. While my first thought was to create a simple note card, one little card turned into a set of four. Once you start stamping these pretty images, you will want to keep going.
Notice the stamped frame that outlines each image. It’s one of the stamps. The Grow With Love Dies has a coordinating die that cuts the entire layer.
Having four cards is a great way to showcase the beautifully detailed images in the stamp set, as well as the classic checked paterned paper from the Timeless Plaid 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. It’s in the new Spring Mini Catalog on page 25. This one’s a definite “must have”.
As you can see, I added a little sentiment to the card above, and stamped coordinating images on each of the envelopes.
Let’s Make Some Note Cards
I used the Basic White 3 1/2″ x 5″ Note Cards & Envelopes.
Each of the patterned paper layers is 3 1/4″ x 4 3/4″.
I used one of my Trio Punches to punch the corners of the patterned paper.
The herb images and frames are stamped on Basic White cardstock and cut with the coordinating frame die.
I attached the stamped layer to the card front with Dimensionals.
I know you will enjoy creating these Note Cards. They would make a thoughtful gift to someone special.

Here’s a sweet birthday card I put together using the Happy Hibiscus Buncle. The background Designer Series Papeer is fron Sale-A-Bration. It’s called “Fruit Salad”, and is fun, bright and adorable. (Check in tomorrow to see more fruit Salad in action). A “ready to go” sentiment from the new January-April 2025 Mini Catalog, makes it quick and easy to share your sentiment. Although these products are from different areas of Stampin’ Up!’s product releases, they work together well. It’s always fun to take a look at what you have, think about how you can use the products, and create something unique to your style.
The Happy Hibiscus Buncle
The Happy Hibiscus Bundle is available in the Online Exclusives. It’s a “Hybrid” Bundle that includes a stamp set, coordinating dies, and a 3-D embossing folder. There’s a large die that fits into the embossing folder that allows you to die cut and emboss the flowers at the same time.
The Happy Hibiscus Stamp Set is a two-step set. You can stamp the outline image, and use the “fill” stamp to add color to the flower. In today’s sample, I chose to stamp the flowers without the fill stamp.
The Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper
This is one of the FREE Sale-A-Bration patterned paper packs with a $60 product purchase. There are 48 sheets of 6″ x 6″ double-sided patterned paper. One side is fruit-themed, and the other side has simple designs in fun colors you can use for backgrounds or layers.
Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack
As soon as I saw this Ephemera Pack in the upcoming January-April Mini Catalog, I put it at the top of my list. There are six sheets of punch out sentiments, four black lettering on white, and two white lettering on black. You can see, I used the white on black in my card and love the look!
Let’s Make A Card!
I cut a Thick Basic White card base 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored it at 4 1/4″.
The Basic Black cardstock layer is 4″ x 5 1/4″.
The patterned paper layer is 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″.
The Basic Black cardstock circle is die cut from one of the Spotlight on Nature Dies. It measures about 3″ in diameter.
I adhered the layers to the card base, and attached the element cluster using Dimensionals.
