With my Christmas card projects behind me, I’m ready to start crafting for the next holiday: Valentine’s Day! And, I’m using some brand-new products from Stampin’ Up! Look for them in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog that launches Thursday, January 4, 2024.
These cards all have one product in common: the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder. Be sure to watch the video below. From my craft room in Mesa, Arizona, I show you how cool this embossing folder and coordinating dies are. This combo offers so many options and choices. This post also shows a total of five card samples.

In just a few days, the calendar rolls over to 2024! Let’s celebrate with some fun handmade, desktop calendars. (See this past post for a couple of other cute designs.)
Today’s calendar design features a sneak peak from Stampin’ Up!’s January-April 2024 Mini Catalog. The Doggone Friendly stamp set is perfect for any and all dog lovers. You can purchase it beginning January 4, 2024, when the catalog goes live. (#162729–$20)
This full background stamp suits all of our family well! Don’t you just love all of the dog faces? So many breeds to choose from. I created this calendar for my sister who has a Boston Terrier named Reggie.
Doggone Friendly 2024 Desktop Calendar
Basic Black card stock base measures 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2
Layer for the base of the calendar: Real Red card stock measuring 5 1/4 x 4, Basic White measuring 5 x 3 3/4, stamped with the Doggone Friendly stamp set with Memento, Basic Black measuring 3 1/2 x 3 1/2. Add notepad.
Calendar layer measurements: Basic Black card stock measuring 5 1/4 x 4, Basic White measuring 5 x 3 3/4 stamped with the Doggone Friendly stamp set in Memento, Basic Black card stock measuring 3 1/2 x 2 3/4. Add calendar.
Created the focal piece by stamping the Doggone Friendly stamp set with Memento on white and die cutting the dog I wanted to feature with a circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Layered this on a circle punched with Real Red card stock. Added a bow from the Baker’s Twin Essentials Pack. Finished it off with three Black Matte Dots.
I know my sister will love this calendar, especially when it features her dog.
Be sure to watch the video below for step-by-directions from my craft room in Mesa, Arizona. Although the video features a different calendar design, the basic instructions still hold true.
