Lost your crafting mojo? Stuck for card-making ideas? Need inspiration? Look no further than Stampin’ Up!’s catalogs. Each publication contains a host of card samples featuring its many paper crafting products. From quick and easy projects, to stepped-up versions, there’s something for each level of crafter. From beginner to advanced, Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog, January-June 2022 Mini Catalog, and SaleABration brochure provide a great resource.
That’s how I created today’s card. I found it on page 60 of the spring mini catalog. It uses the Blessings of Home Bundle: Blessings of Home stamp set and Flowers of Home Dies. Purchase these as a bundle and save 10 percent.
In the crafting world, it’s called CASEing a card – copy and share everything. It’s acceptable and encouraged to use samples for inspiration and then put your personal touch on it. (But be sure to give credit where credit is due.)
Blessings of Home Sympathy
This card uses:
Pale Papaya card stock and ink
A piece of the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper measuring 3 /14 inch x 4 1/2

As a demonstrator, I was able to order many of the components of the Heart & Home Suite. It’s a robust suite that includes two stamp sets, two coordinating die cut sets, the Hive 3D Embossing Folder, Denim Ribbon, Classic Matte Dots, Heart & Home Doilies, memories and more cards and envelopes, and the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper (DSP).
Blessings of Home Card Sample
The card above uses the Blessings of Home stamp set in conjunction with the Heart & Home Designer 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. The die cuts comes from the Stitched So Sweetly Die Cuts.
I’ve seen a lot of cards on Pinterest and Facebook that feature this “block” design for Designer Series Paper. It allows you to showcase three different designs all on one card. The large piece on the left measures 5 1/16 inch x 1 7/8 inch. The two squares on the right each measure 1 7/8 inch by 2 1/2 inches I can see using this design for all of the packages of awesome DSP Stampin’ Up! offers.
I used the coordinating colors of Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia, and Garden Green.
Stayed tuned for Saturday’s blog post where I share a host of other card samples using this same suite!
