Here’s a Product Premier card to celebrate the Adoring Hearts Bundle in the new January – April 2024 Mini Catalog. The catalog launched toady, along with the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. You can see the catalog in the virtual download at the end of this post.
The Adoring Hearts Bundle features a photopolymer stamp set filled with mixed font sentiments and delicate floarl images. It’s pretty. Along with the stamp set, the Adoring Hearts Dies include a Hybrid Embossing Folder. The Embossing Folder can emboss and die cut at the same time. The embossed hearts produced from the folder are stunning. You can see the Adoring Hearts Bundle in use by watching the video below.

The Boho Blue cardstock card base is 4 1/4″ x 11″.
The Basic White mat layer is 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
The Flight And Airy Designer Series Paper layer is 4″ x 5 1/4″.
I cut the Vellum strip 1 3/4″ x 4″.
The element cluster inclused die cuts from the Adoring Hearts and Hooray For Surprises dies.
My inspiration for this card came from the new Mini Catalog. The Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper is in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure and is free with a $50 product purchase.

Today’s card showcases the Garden Walk Suite Collection. It’s in the new Mini Catalog on page 52. It was the Garden Walk Designer Series Paper that caught my attention. I love it! It’s full of modern floral designs in beautiful color combinations. You can use the patterns as backgrounds, as I did here, or try a little fussy cutting and create pretty floral clusters. On the reverse side of each floral pattern are simple stripes and dots.
Today’s Card Parts & Pieces
I starrted with a Mossy Meadow cardstock card base cut at 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, and scored at 4 1/4″.
The Wild Wheat striped layer is 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
The center Mossy Meadow mat layer is 3 1/8″ x 4 3/8″.
I cut the floral patterned paper layer is 3″ x 4 1/4″.
For the focal point Wild Wheat grounding layer, I used the Modern Oval Punch. It’s part of the Modern Garden Bundle.
The Calupso Coral and Mossy Meadow cardstock die cuts are cut with dies from the Timeless Arrangements Dies.
I used Very Vanilla cardstock as a sentiment layer. It’s stamped with Calypso Coral ink and cut with a die from the Something Fancy Dies.
I used about 10″ of the Calypso Coral 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim (also part of the Suite) to create a large bow that is adhered behind the focal point layer.
The card is finished off with a few Very Vanilla Classic Matte Dots.
There’s a 4″ x 5 1/4″ Very Vanilla cardstock layer attached to the inside of the card. I used one of the sentiments from the Modern Garden Stamp Set.
So, take a look at the beautiful Designer Series Paper in this Suite. You can create many beautiful projects and have fun coordinating the colors featured. The Braided Trim is beautiful, and who can resist a Modern Oval Punch?

Last week, I posted a series of cards showcasing the new 2023-2025 In Colors. In that process, I also highlighted some of the new Designer Series Paper. Today, I have a Sneak Peek of one of the new Product Suites, The Countryside Inn Suite Collection.
When I choose colors, I always gravitate toward any shade of blue. It’s no suprise that this Suite would be a favorite of mine. So, let’s talk about this very pretty Product Suite.
Today’s Card Parts And Pieces
My Misty Moonlight cardstock card base has a full front Designer Series Paper layer.
The card front layer design is Night of Navy with a very subtle Misty Moonlight country print.
The Focal Point pattern is a soft country print featuring Balmy Blue, Smoky Slate, and Night of Navy.
This layer is embossed using the coordinating Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder. The Embossing Folder embosses the entire pattern. (It might be hard to see in the photo above). Every detail in the pattern is raised.
The trick to embossing this pattern with the Embossing Folder is to start from the bottom of the DSP. Take a look at the photo below.
Once I embossed the pattern, I die cut it with one of the Countryside Corners Dies.
Using the next largest Countryside Corners Dies, I created a Balmy Blue frame for the embossed Designer Series Paper.
I stamped a strip of Basic White cardstock with one of the frame stamps from the Countryside Corners stamp set and Night of Navy ink, and stamped “Celebrate” from the Framed Florets stamp set insie the frame.
I used one of the Countryside Corners Dies to die cut the sentiment strip.
The sentiment on the inside of the card is from the Something Fancy stamp set.
Below is a sample of the patterns in the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper.
If you like the color blue, you will absolutely love creating with the patterns in the Countryside Inn DSP.
It will be available for you on May 2nd – a short week away!
So, mix a little Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight and Smoky Slate, emboss a “Country Inn” pattern, add a sentiment and create something as peaceful as a Countryside Inn.
… the only limitation is your imagination!

Today, I have some weekend inspiration for you. All you need is some pretty patterned paper, coordinating cardstock, a paper trimmer, and a happy sentiment. This is an easy fun fold to put together. I recommend you cut your cardstock and patterned paper layers first, then put it all together. I think you’ll want to make more than one!
This Flip Flop Fun Fold is also a gift card holder. I used the Dainty Flowers Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper, Fresh Freesia cardstock, and Rich Razzleberry ink for the sentiment. The color combination is not only pretty, it’s so soft and soothing. Don’t you agree?
The gift card holder is die cut from the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies. They’re in the Annual Catalog on page 172, and well worth your investment.
I used the sentiment and flower images from the Happiness Abounds stamp set. This flower is a favorite of mine.
I posted this fun fold about a year or two ago, and thought the template would be a perfect fit for this patterned paper. You can click on the button below to download the PDF tutorial for this card. You can also watch the video below which includes all of the layer cutting dimensions and tips to make this card easy to assemble.

I’m getting my craft space ready to design some Sneak Peeks of some of the new products in the July-December 2022 Mini. Oh, what fun is ahead!
When Stampin’ Up! launched the new Annual Catalog, the Sun Prints Suite is the first I inked and cut. Today’s card showcases the Nature’s Prints Bundle that includes the Nature’s Prints stamp set and Natural Prints Dies.
Inspiration for this card came from a card I put together this past weekend. Stampin’ Up! hosted a “Creativity Now” virtual workshop for Demonstrators. We made cards with some of the Stampin’ Up! Concept Artists and fellow demonstrators. They designed the projects with a Product Suite that will be available in the new Mini Catalog. I used the Sun Prints Suite for my projects.
Today’s Card Pieces and Parts
Cut a Night of Navy card base 4 1/4″ x 11″ and score at 5 1/2″.
Cut a Night of Navy card layer 3 3/4″ x 5″.
Stamp the large Ginko flower from the Nature’s Prints stamp set with Crushed Curry ink onto Basic White cardstock.
Using Basic White cardstock and the Natural Prints dies, die cut the stamped Ginko flower, two smaller sprigs, two long springs, and the sentiment label to create a cluster of elements.
Stamp the sentiment with Night of Navy Ink.
Emboss the smaller Night of Navy layer using the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder.
With a Blending Brush and Craft White ink pad, lightly brush ink over the entire embossed layer.
Adhere the element cluster to the center of the embossed card layer, attaching the Basic White sprig die cuts first.
The large Crushed Curry flower is attached with Dimensionals over the Basic White die cut sprigs.
Before attaching the layer to the card base, wrap some White 1/4″ Crinkle Seam Binding Ribbon around the layer a little less than 1 1/2″ from the bottom of the layer.
Attached the sentiment label with Dimensionals and add a ribbon bow with a glue dot.
So, cut some cardstock layers, whisk some white ink on top, die cut an element cluster and create something to send happy thoughts.
