Today's the Day!! The new January to April Spring Mini Catalog is now live! There are so many fun things for Valentine's Day and Easter and other occasions. I love the new scrapbooking options too!
Take a look at a fun new stamp set called Hope Love & Joy! I think this is such a fun new set and I really like the many ways to use it. You can switch out the 'O' from the words and use the various images in it's place. The words have an Advent feel to them, so this would be a nice Christmas set too. The praying hands or support ribbon are good to use to send encouragement to someone going through an illness.
I opted to go with a Shaker Card for my first card with this set and with Valentine's Day so close at hand, I used the Love sentiment with the Heart dies. Also releasing this month is a new Valentine's Day Designer Series Paper pack and some super cute Loose Valentine's Assortment shaker elements.
There are so many new fun products releasing tomorrow, so you will want to be sure to check the new January to April mini catalog release, the new Online Exclusives release as well as the 3 new kits being released!
For this card I used Bubble Bath for the main card base. I used a pretty pattern from the Made with Love designer series paper for the background and an accent piece of wood grain patterned paper from the Country Woods designer series paper. Next I layered some Strawberry Slush Ribbon on the wood paper.
I stamped the main sentiments in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and Strawberry Slush.
After cutting out the heart with the die, I used a window sheet and some Foam Adhesive Strips to create the shaker element. I have a full how to with tips for this card on my YouTube Channel.
For this next version I used a pattern from the Florals In Bloom designer series paper pack on a Strawberry Slush card base. I also opted to use a warmer wood tone pattern from the Country Woods designer series paper pack.
I added some additional Loose Valentine's Assortment pieces to the front of the card as well.
Be sure to check back tomorrow to download the new January to April mini catalog! I will add it to the side bar of this blog as soon as I am allowed, not sure if that is at midnight tonight or early tomorrow.

Hi Stampin' friends. Today I am playing around with the new Nature's Symphony stamp set and dies from Stampin' Up! This set will be in the new January - April mini catalog that comes out on Tues January 6th.
I loved the large leaf sprig die so much, so I knew that I wanted to use it as a focal point. I cut it out with Pretty Peacock and then actually worked back from that.
The new Nature Walk designer series paper is all patters of deep blues and greens, which are my favorites. The patterns are abstract and geometric in design.
Because the new catalog is not out yet, I am not allowed to show catalog images, so I can't show you the images of the papers and stamps, but I can show them in my video. Click on the video link to see more of the stamps and dies, as well as the papers that are coming next week.
