Do you prefer to craft exclusively with one bundle or suite at a time? Or do you prefer to mix and match? For me, it’s gratifying to pull out a brand-new suite of products to see what I can create? On the other hand, it’s also fun to stretch my products by mixing and matching them.
That’s what I do with today’s card. I’ve combined several brand-new products, with one recently released, and several more a few or more months old. See the list below to help you dissect this card.
Measurements & Details
Bubble Bath cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
What do you think? I hope you like I how used this collection of products.
Please let me know if you have questions about this or any other stamping projects.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy new year! Welcome to 2026! This year, I wish for you many happy crafting experiences. I’m excited to start the year with new products from Stampin’ Up! On January 6, the January-April 2026 Mini Catalog goes live, as well as a robust slate of Online Exclusives. Check back here for links and inspiration.
Today’s card uses something new (Reason to Celebrate Photopolymer Stamp Set) and something old (Modern Christmas Designer Series Paper). I just love the black, gold, and white combination of this patterned paper. Not only did I create a nice selection of holiday cards, but now it does its work for a new year card. Making new year cards gives me an opportunity to send best wishes to those I missed during the holiday. Do you make and send new year cards?

I purchased the Jar of Joy Photopolymer Stamp Set and coordinating Sweet Jar Builder Punch way back in July of 2025 when it first debuted as one of Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusive offerings. During the month, I created many holiday cards using this stamp set and coordinating punch bundle. In the back of my mind, I thought it would be fun to create a shaker card filled with peppermints. Today, I made that a reality.
