I used the Stampin’ Up! Reason To Celebrate stamp set and a few of the pieces from the Easter Time Mix & Match Ephemera Pack from the upcoming January-April 2026 Mini Catalog to create an anniversary card. 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 Love Notes 6″ x 6″ DSP (available January 6) to the front of an Embossed Designs Mix & Match Specialty Cards & Envelopes with Stampin’ Seal. Then I cut a panel of Nests Of Winter DSP with one of the Nested Essentials Dies and then adhered the die cut to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.
I cut a panel of Flirty Flamingo card stock with one of the Branching Out Dies and then adhered the die cut with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front. I adhered one of the Easter Time Mix & Match Ephemera Pack images with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front.
I stamped the sentiments from the Reason To Celebrate stamp set (available January 6) in Garden Green ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then cut around it with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies. I slid the die down about 1/2″ and cut the sentiment panel again with the same Stylish Shapes Die. I adhered the die cut to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then added three Sparkle Dot Essentials (available January 6) to finish the card front.
I adhered another one of the Easter Time Mix & Match Ephemera Pack with Stampin’ Seal to finish the inside of the card.
You can see a list of supplies used to create this project, including the card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this blog post.
