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.
