There’s a lot to love about Stampin’ Up!’s brand-new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. Yes, it’s full of brand-new and returning paper crafting products, but it also offers a great resource for stampers of all levels. It includes a host of tips, tricks, and advice for everything from choosing the correct adhesive to how to heat emboss. I especially love the card sketch inspiration on page 22. If you’re short on mojo or stumped for a quick and easy card layout, just choose one of the 22 sketch options.

Today, I share a sample of handmade greeting cards using one of the sketches and a variety of Stampin’ Up! awesome Designer Series Papers. In addition, I added sentiments using the new Simply Said Stamp Set now available in the catalog. It’s a perfect fit for all the usual cards I send.
