In just a week, Stampin’ Up!’s January-April 2026 Mini Catalog and January Online Exclusives go live. Find brand-new crafting goodies for Valentine’s Day, spring, Easter, St. Patrick’s Day, and all occasions. Look for stamp sets, dies, ribbons, and paper. In fact, it features 14 different packages of Designer Series Paper.
In today’s post, I share a card created with just one of the paper packages with a fun layout using Stampin’ Up!’s square dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Be sure to watch the video below to see other samples of this layout using a few different patterned papers available beginning January 6.
(Would you like to receive a sampling of all 14 paper packages? I’m offering a Paper Share where you receive 146 sheets of 6 x 6 samples of all the paper. See this Google form for the information and to request a share.)
