Merry Christmas Eve!! Hope that all of your planning and making is done and that you’ve got some time to relax and enjoy the holiday!
I’m sharing a thank you card that I made with the Stampin’ Up! Simply Beautiful stamp set bundle from the upcoming January-April 2026 Mini Catalog with you today.
I started by adhering a strip of Old Olive card stock to the back of a panel of Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper (available January 6) with Stampin’ Seal. Then I adhered the panel to the front of a Peach Pie card base with Stampin’ Seal.
I stamped the flowers and leaves from the Simply Beautiful stamp set (available January 6) in VersaMark ink on panels of Peach Pie and Old Olive card stocks, sprinkled them with white embossing powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powder and then heat embossed them. I cut the images out with the coordinating Simply Beautiful Dies (available January 6) and then adhered the leaves with Mini Glue Dots and the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front.
I stamped the sentiment from the Sunshine & Tulips stamp set (available January 6) in VersaMark ink on a panel of Calypso Coral card stock, sprinkled it with white embossing powder and then heat embossed it. I cut the sentiment out with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies and then adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front. I added three Pearlized Faceted Circles (available January 6) to finish the card front.
I stamped the floral image from the Simply Beautiful stamp set in Peach Pie ink on a panel of Basic White card stock to finish the inside of the card.
