Did you know a brand-new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog is on the way soon? As a customer, you can order from it beginning May 3, 2022. That seems a long time to wait, doesn’t it?
In the meantime, Stampin’ Up! is offering a sneak peek of a bundle from the upcoming catalog. The Waves of Inspiration Bundle. This bundle ($51.25) — Waves of Inspiration stamp set and Waves Dies — is available for purchase now and will also be available in the new catalog.
In addition to this stamp set and dies, you can get your hands on some beautiful coordinating Waves of the Ocean Designer Series Paper, Blue Foils Specialty Paper, and Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels. These are available only while supplies last.
Please enjoy a sampling of cards I created with this beachy collection of products. Be sure to check out the video (Facebook Live replay) showing a host of other Waves of Inspiration Card Samples.

Products Used to Create These Cards

I was fortunate to celebrate a birthday at the end of January. And I enjoyed receiving a ton of cards in the mail. Many of them came from my paper crafting friends. They are all so beautiful. (Watch the video below to see some of the cards I received.)
I decided to re-create one of the cards using Stampin’ Up!’s Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper. Earn it free during SaleABration for a minimum order (before tax and shpping). Offers ends February 28.
This paper screams fun and happiness and can be used in many ways.
Today, I share three different cards with the same layout using this awesome package of Designer Series Paper. Receive forty-eight sheets: 4 each of 12 double-sided designs.
Sunshine & Rainbows Birthday Card
Die cut three pieces of patterned paper with the the Stitched Rectangle Dies. If you don’t have these dies, just use your paper trimmer to cut the rectangles yourself.
Layer them on a piece of card stock measuring 4 x 2 inches.
Then place this piece on a 5 1/4 x 4 inch of Designer Series Paper.
Tie a ribbon around this before placing on your card front.
Add a sentiment of your choice.
I choose the Happy Birthday from Stampin’ Up!’s Special Moments stamp set. (Earn this free with a $100 purchase — before tax and shipping — during SaleABration — through February 28, 2022.)
It’s so easy and so fun to change the look and feel of the card with all of the different patterns.

I started playing with Stampin’ Up!’s Hey Sports Fan Suite last week, and I’ve already used a whole package of the Hey Sports Fan 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. Once I got stamping and creating, the ideas just kept coming. Find this awesome collection of products in Stampin’ Up!’ January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. See this post for additional card samples, ideas, and a video.
Your Biggest Fan Birthday
The card above uses a fun embossing technique.
cut a piece of the baseball-looking paper from the Hey Sports Fan 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper at 5 x 3 3/4 and the die cut it using Stampin’ Up!’s Picture This Dies. The circles remind me of baseballs!
pop the circles out and glue the circles onto a piece of Night of Navy card stock measuring 5 x 3 3/4 inches.
run this whole piece through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine in the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.
add the sentiment (stamped in Night of Navy) from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set
layer on a piece of Poppy Parade card stock measuring 5 1/4 x 4
tie the red/white baker’s twine
include some of the fun Resin Star embellishments.
It’s a fun technique that just gives the card a different look. Here’s a close up look.
One feature I love about the Hey Sports Fan 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper is that many of the sheets include images you can die cut with the Sports Events Dies. I used the coordinating dies to get all of the images. With the pile on my crafting space, I grabbed pieces to create cards and all fun elements. The card above shows how I used some of the fun “ticket” pieces to make a birthday card.
Here’s one more card sample that shows the use of the tickets die cut from the designer series paper.
Here’s another card sample using the tickets die cut from the designer series paper.

Fan Baker’s Twine (one spool each of Evening Evergreen, Night of Navy, and Poppy Parade/white)
Resin Stars Embellishments.
Hey Sports Fan 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper (love, love, love this paper. I especially love the the coordinating dies cut images directly from the DSP. It makes it handy to have lots of pieces to craft with).
I’ve had so much fun with this collection of products. I hope you’ve enjoyed the samples as much as I’ve enjoyed creating them.

Yes, I know it might seem odd that right before the Super Bowl and the end of the football season, that I’m featuring Stampin’ Up!’s Hey Sports Fan Bundle. Well, I’m looking forward to spring! Living in Arizona, I’m crossing my fingers that we get to see some spring training baseball here. There are a lot of teams to follow, and it’s just a great way to enjoy being outdoors. And, my husband’s family are big baseball lovers. With five brothers and a bunch of nephews, I’ll have card ideas for all of them.
Not only do I love the baseball-themed coordinating products, but I also appreciate that it pairs well with the Hats Off stamp set and Hat Builder Dies found in the Annual Catalog.
Sports Event Dies (purchase the stamp set and dies as a bundle and save 10 percent)
