Are you ready for a Valentine sneak peek? The Endless Love Bundle and Love Notes Mix & Match Designer Paper have “endless” possibilities! For today’s card, I cut the large heart from Basic White Cardstock. The tiny holes around the edge make the heart extra special, don’t you think?
Hugs & Kisses
The background is Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/2″, colored with a Blending Brush and Flirty Flamingo Ink. After coloring, I embossed it with the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder. Then, I glued the layer to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Next, I cut the arrow and the “Xs” and “Os.” The pretty, gingham border of one of the Love Notes Mix & Match patterns is wide enough to accommodate the arrow and “X” and “O” dies from Endless Love, and I used a Foam Adhesive Sheet for dimension.
The sentiment, “hugs & kisses” is from the Endless Love Stamp Set. After stamping it in Memento Black Ink, I used an Endless Love Die for cutting, glued the end of the label to the arrow, and attached them to the heart with Dimensionals.

The Lovely & Beautiful Suite Collection in the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog has some amazing products, and I couldn’t wait to use the unique, Lovely Arrangements Dies. Look at the one I used to cut rows of circles from a pattern of Lovely & Beautiful Designer Paper. I used this same die to cut the center from a large, floral pattern of Lovely & Beautiful DSP, 4 1/8″ X 5 3/8″. Then, I glued both pieces to a Window Sheet, cut 1/8″ smaller, and added strips of Dimensionals all around the edge.
Simply Beautiful sneak peek
Next, I adhered the raised piece to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. After admiring the pretty paper, I used another pattern to cut leaves. They are especially delicate, and I glued the stems and base of the leaves, leaving the tips to lift.
The sentiment, “thinking of you,” is from the Simply Beautiful Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used a Simply Beautiful Die for cutting. Then, I attached it to the card front with Dimensionals, and added three Rainbow Dots to complete my design.
I was inspired by Freshly made Sketches.

I’m continuing to have fun with products from the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog, coming soon. For today’s card, I cut toadstools from the Cute As A Bug Designer Paper with Sweet Bugs Dies, and layered them on cardstock for thickness. Then, I used Sweet Bugs Dies to cut greenery from Season Of Elegance Designer Paper.
Toadstools
For the background, I used the second largest Textured Notes Die to cut Basic Beige Cardstock.This was glued to Cute As A Bug Designer Paper, 5 3/8″ X 4 1/8″, glued to an Old Olive card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Once the background was glued, I attached the toadstools and greenery with a combination of Dimensionals. and glue.
The sentiment, “You make me smile,” is from a Last Chance stamp set, Happy Hibiscus. After stamping it in Old Olive Ink on Basic Beige Cardstock, I used a Textured Notes Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. Last, but not least, I cut three snails from Crumb Cake Cardstock, using a Sweet Bugs Die. This die cuts tiny butterflies and dragonflies also. Don’t you love it?

Meet Patti, the panda who is ready to celebrate a birthday, for this week’s Global Design Project, “reasons to party.”
Patti
The Big Little Things Stamp Set has adorable, realistic, animals. Patti, the panda, said she was the cutest, and insisted on being featured on today’s card. She said she was super easy to work with. In her words, “just stamp me in black ink on white paper, and cut me out with scissors. Be careful around my ears.”
Next, she wanted a bamboo forest for her background. She said she was a growing girl, and needed to eat a lot of bamboo. To create the foliage, I cut Splendid Autumn Designer Paper, Mossy Meadow Cardstock, and Old Olive Cardstock, with Beautiful Motifs Dies and Petals Of Beauty Dies. Before gluing the foliage to the Basic White layer, 4″ X 5 1/4″, I splattered it with dots using a Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blend. Then, I added a strip of Splendid Autumn DSP to the bottom, 3 7/8″ X 1″, and glued the layer to a Mossy Meadow card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
We debated about where Patti would sit, and decided to let her sit on the sentiment label. “Big Birthday Wishes” is from her stamp set, cut with a Fragrant Layers Die. She told me I had to cut it twice; once from Basic White Cardstock, and once from Nests Of Winter Designer Paper, so I could frame the words in the green and white stripe. Pretty smart for a panda, huh?
Patti was excited to share her card with Global Design Project, and can’t wait to see what everyone creates for the “reasons to party” theme. She’ll be upset if you don’t tag it #gdp527.

One of my favorite samples in the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog is on page 29, and I had to CASE it. It’s part of the Lovely and Beautiful Suite Collection, available January 6th.
Lovely & Beautiful
I began by using the Simply Beautiful Dies to cut flower petals from three colors of cardstock: Calypso Coral, Flirty Flamingo, and Petal Pink. The stamens were cut from Darling Duckling, and the leaves were cut from Old Olive. Next, I glued the flower parts together, and placed them on Dimensionals. Then, I cut a pattern of Lovely & Beautiful Designer Paper, 4 1/8″ X 5 3/8″, and glued it to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. After attaching the flowers with Dimensionals, I glued the leaves in place.
The sentiment, “Thinking of you” is in the Simply Beautiful Stamp Set, but I used the one from Wonderful Thoughts. I liked the way it fit the space, and the die cut it out perfectly. The sentiment completed the card, which was stamped it in Memento Black Ink, and attached with Dimensionals.

Last day for FREE SHIPPING!!!
The Stampin’ Fancy Friday Design Team is a group of past and continuing Artisans, bringing our followers a fancy monthly challenge for inspiration. This month it is a sketch challenge.
The Brushed With Beauty Designer Paper is oh, so, pretty, and I used four patterns for the sketch. I began by cutting two patterns (horizontal stripe, 1 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ and floral, 2 3/4″ X 5 1/2″), and glued them to Very Vanilla Cardstock, 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″. After gluing, I used the largest Textured Notes Die for cutting. Then, I put Tear & Tape down the dividing line, and placed Mossy Meadow & Gold Trim on top, adhering it to the back. This was glued to a Mossy Meadow card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Brushed With Beauty sketch challenge
Next, I used the third smallest Textured Notes Die to cut a pattern of Petal Pink, and the second smallest to cut the brown, dash pattern. These were glued together, and attached with Dimensionals. Then, I fussy cut the bouquet from the floral pattern, and attached it with Dimensionals.
“You’ve been on my mind” is from the Words Of Beauty Stamp Set. I stamped it in Mossy Meadow Ink on Very Vanilla Cardstock, used the smallest Textured Notes Die for cutting, glued the left half, and propped the right half with a Dimensional. To complete the design, I added three, Antique Pearls.
