Happy New Year and welcome to another year of color challenges, which I am kicking off with a project made with the Hugs for Love bundle.
There is so much happening at Stampin’ Up! this month, including a new catalog! The Hugs for Love Bundle will be available starting January 7th with the launch of the January – April 2025 Mini Catalog. It’s always so fun seeing a new catalog full of amazing products!
This month’s color challenge is lovely, and made me think of winter. The Drizzling Droplets background stamp was perfect for a snowy look. I added clear embossing as well for added depth. Sadly, it went on clearance and sold out since preparing today’s project, however, the sentiment and punched shape is from the upcoming Hugs for Love stamp and punch Bundle. I love the clean bold font.
To Create This Project:
Thick Basic White Cardstock: 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
Basic White Cardstock: 3 3/4″ x 5″ stamped layer
Smoky Slate Cardstock: 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ layer
Sentiment Label: Basic White
Ink Drizzling Droplets stamp with Balmy Blue ink, then lightly with Blueberry Bushel ink. Stamp on Basic White layer. Clean stamp and stamp a second time in Versamark ink. Sprinkle with clear embossing powder and heat with a Heat Tool. Adhere stamped layer to Smoky Slate layer, then to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink on Basic White cardstock. Punch with the To The Point Label Punch. Adhere label to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Punch a Balmy Blue heart and adhere to label. Finish front with a white twine bow. Stamp sentiment inside card in Blueberry Bushel ink.

Launch of the January – April 2025 Mini Catalog is right around the corner, which means it’s product share time! These are only offered for a short time before a catalog launches, and is the best way to receive a little of everything from the catalog.
As an added bonus, there will be a release of Online Exclusives which will also be included in this round of shares for even more fun!
Product Shares – a product share is a partial pack of products, grouped and packaged for easy use. Because, let’s face it, we all love having all the new things! This is perfect for trying a little of everything at a fraction of the cost.
Paper Samplers – paper samplers are creative tools used to display a paper collection, or to use as a reference while you are crafting. These are invaluable to coordinate products while you are working. Each collection set features all the paper patterns, the catalog name and image, item number, detailed information as needed, and coordinating colors in a compact tool. The best part….once you no longer want the sampler, you can pull it apart and use the paper to create!

Paper shares include 1/4 pack of each new paper collection + the new Online Exclusives.
All 12″ x 12″ paper collections are cut 6″ x 12″. Paper collections that are 6″ x 6″ are left full size.

Welcome to the December 2024 Color Fusers blog hop where I am sharing a holiday card as the last hop for 2024 made with the Christmas Labels Bundle! I chose a winter theme, with a Christmas sentiment.
December’s color challenge did not speak to me as a Christmas color combination, but it works! And I had fun pulling all 3 colors together. I went with Shaded Spruce as my focal color, and used the other two as accent colors.
I set the scene by using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder on the front layer. This folder has been a favorite this season! Then I layered trees, which were also embossed, this time, using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. There is so much texture to this project – I love I!
The Christmas Labels Bundle is the perfect set of sentiments for this holiday season. I love how they are created to fit on the beautifully detailed coordinating dies.
Sometimes, I like to pull the color challenge color in from designer series paper. And this month, the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper worked well. There are sheets in that pack made with Misty Moonlight. Those sheets worked really well for the snow layers.
To create this project
Thick Basic White Cardstock: 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″ for card base and 3 3/4″ x 5″ for front embossed layer
Shaded Spruce: die cut 3 trees
Winter Meadows Designer Series Paper” 4″ x 2″ torn for layers
Emboss front layer with Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder. Splatter with Wink of Stella. Tear designer series paper into two strips. Layer together and adhere across bottom of embossed layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tie a gold thread bow around designer series paper, then adhere layer to card front. Arrange all 3 trees on card front and adhere in place with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp sentiment in Melon Mambo ink on Basic White cardstock both inside and out. Die cut with coordinating die, then adhere in place with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Embellish with gems as desired.
Thanks for stopping by!
