I used the Stampin’ Up! Hope Love & Joy stamp set bundle from the upcoming January-April 2026 Mini Catalog to create a quick card to share with you today. I also created this card in a quick video out on YouTube this morning and you can see that video right here.
I started by adhering a panel of patterned paper from the Mixed Up Patterns DSP (available January 6) to the front of a Bubble Bath card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Then I cut another panel of Mixed Up Patterns DSP with one of the Textured Notes Dies (Online Exclusive item). I adhered the die cut rectangle with Stampin’ Seal to the card front.
I cut another panel of Mixed Up Patterns DSP with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies and then adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the sentiments from the Hope Love & Joy stamp set in Bubble Bath and Strawberry Slush inks on a panel of Basic White card stock. Then I cut around the sentiment with one of the Textured Notes Dies and I adhered the die cut sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped the outline heart image from the Hope Love & Joy stamp set in Strawberry Slush ink on a panel of Bubble Bath card stock and then cut the image out with the coordinating die from the Hope Love & Joy Dies (available January 6). I cut a panel of Strawberry Slush card stock with the small heart die from the Hope Love & Joy Dies and then adhered the die cut with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered heart to the card front with a Mini Glue Dot. I adhered five Strawberry Slush dots from the Strawberry Slush & Pretty In Pink Gems to finish the card front.
I stamped the heart image from the Hope Love & Joy stamp set in Strawberry Slush ink 0n a panel of Basic White card stock and then adhered a strip of Mixed Up Patterns DSP to finish the inside of the card.
