More Quick& Easy Cards with Lovely Blossoms Suite

Posted on January 13, 2026 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

Greetings my stamping friends. Today I am sharing with you two more cards I made using pieces from the same piece of Designer Series Paper from the Lovely Blossoms 12 x 12 package – yes I have not even used up one entire sheet yet and have already made four cards, and I still have more remaining!

These cards are quick & easy to make and are actually mail friendly which is a win, win.

On the first card, there is a flower on the sticker sheet that is the same size as one of the flowers on the DSP so I added it to my card front with dimensionals. Everything else on both cards are attached flat. I added the Moody Palette Glossy Dots to the flower centers and tags. Final step was to color the flowers with Wink of Stella (of course!).

Here are the products that I used I the design of these cards:

January 2026 Creative Challenge

Posted on January 10, 2026 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

Greetings my stamping friends. Are you ready for a Creative Challenge? What if a template and a couple of samples have been provided for inspiration by some of Stampin’ Up!’s fabulous Concept Artists? Yes, I thought you would say “bring it on!”

Each month on the first Wednesday of each month, Stampin’ Up! will be sharing a new Creative Challenge that I will share with you, hopefully along with my own sample.

January’s Challenge is shown in the header photo on this post along with two samples from the Concept Artists and below is my interpretation along with a rough estimate of the measurements of the pieces of the template if you want to duplicate the look. Of course, a template is merely an inspiration and shapes and sizes can be changed to fit your creativity.

APPROXIMATE MEASUREMENTS:

  • (1) .75” x 1.75” (dimensionals)
  • (2) .75” x .75” (dimensionals)
  • (3) 2.00” x 1.75” (flat)
  • (4) 1.25” x .25” (flat)
  • (5) 1.00” x 1.25” (dimensionals)
  • (6) 1.50” x .75” (dimensionals)
  • (7) 2.00” x 1.50” (flat)
  • (8) .75” x .75” (dimenionals)
  • (9) 1.75” x 1.00” (dimensionals)

Here are the Stampin’ Up! products that I used in the design of my card:

Product List
Cloud Cover 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [ 165621 ]

A Lovely Arrangements Birthday Card

Posted on January 8, 2026 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

Greetings my stamping friends.

I made a card today! This will be for my Mom’s 86th birthday on January 12.

I received an order back in December, that I was extremely tardy in opening, which contained the Lovely Blossoms Suite Collection, one of the newer Online Exclusives releases. The main reason I ordered this product suite was the designer series paper which is the statement piece of my card.

Since I didn’t want my card to look “fat”, I put my top layer into the embossing folder so that the stripes were vertical instead of horizontal 😄.

Unfortunately the Lovely Arrangements stamp set is current unavailable for purchase, but should be back in stock soon. If you want this stamp set and wish to be notified when it is available for purchase, activate the email notification in the Online Store for this product.

Here are the products I used in the creation of today’s card. I have included multiple options for purchasing the products, including the entire Suite, as a bundle (stamp set and dies) or individually. You will receive a 15% discount when purchasing the bundle option, but there is not an additional discount for the Suite option (it just makes ordering everything easier with one item number).

Product List
Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Thick Cardstock [ 140272 ]
[140272]
$8.25
Secret Sea 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [ 165624 ]
[165624]
$14.00
Lovely Blossoms Suite Collection (English) [ 167193 ]
[167193]
$89.50
Secret Sea Classic Stampin' Pad [ 165285 ]
[165285]
$9.00
Moody Palette Glossy Dots [ 167180 ]
[167180]
$8.00
Cloud Cover 5/8" (1.6 Cm) Textured Ribbon [ 167182 ]
[167182]

Lovely Arrangements Photopolymer Stamp Set (English) [ 167169 ]
[167169]

Lovely Arrangements Dies [ 167175 ]
[167175]
$34.00
Lovely Arrangements Bundle (English) [ 167176 ]
[167176]
$48.50
Lovely Blossoms 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [ 167168 ]
[167168]
$12.50
Stampin' Dimensionals [ 104430 ]
[104430]
$4.25
Stampin' Seal [ 152813 ]
[152813]
$8.00

[141897]
$10.00
Mini Glue Dots [ 103683 ]
[103683]
$7.25

Since I used the designer series paper as the focus of my card, the project came together very quickly. I may just have to go back and make companion cards will all of the other pieces from that one sheet of paper!

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you leave here inspired to put stamps to ink to paper. Until next time, stamp on my friends.

New Kit – Adopt A Pet

Posted on January 7, 2026 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

Greetings my stamping friends.

In addition to releasing a new Mini Catalog yesterday, January 6, Stampin’ Up! also added three new kits to their Kits Collection. I am sharing with you today the Adopt A Pet kit which I most definitely will be adding to my shopping cart (okay, it is already in my cart).

For the pet lover in your life, the Adopt a Pet Kit is a total tail-wagger. Build adorable homes, craft playful pets, and fill out your own certificate of adoption for a creative experience that’s full of heart. This kit is paws-itively perfect for celebrating every furry friend.

DETAILS 
– Makes 4 projects: 1 each of 4 designs 
– Largest box size: 4-3/8″ x 3-1/2″ x 4-1/2″
– Colors: Basic Gray, Cajun Craze, Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, Secret Sea, Strawberry Slush
– Sentiments printed in English, French, and German

Kit includes one of each item listed below. 
– Step-by-step instructions 
– 4 boxes to construct

I have seen ads for paper cats and dogs on Facebook for months and was tempted to buy them but never got around to it. I mean, what’s cuter than paper cats and dogs that you can leave on someone’s desk as a little “pick me up” or happy surprise? But these in the kit by Stampin’ Up! are so much BIGGER and they include accessories! Call me crazy, but I think these are the bees knees.

Stay tuned for more information on additional new kits from Stampin’ Up! You can find all kits that are currently available by visiting the Online store and choose to Shop By Kits Collection.

Thank you for stopping by today. Until next time, stamp on my friends.

  • Subscriptions purchased during the promotion will earn reduced rewards compared to full-priced subscriptions due to the discounted price, but they will still qualify for rewards once the threshold is met.
