My January calendar shows a ton of birthdays. I need to make a stack of cards and get them in the mail. I pulled out Stampin’ Up’s Blessings of Home stamp set, now available in the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog.
Below, I offer a free tutorial and include 14 additional card samples using this stamp set and coordinating Flowers of Home Dies. (Purchase the Blessings of Home stamp set and Flowers of Home Dies as a bundle and receive a 10 percent discount.) See this post for another card and video using products from the Blessings of Home Bundle.

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!

When it comes to Christmas and the holidays, are you a traditionalist? Or do you prefer non-tradiational colors? I experimented with both using Stampin’ Up!’s Frosted Gingerbread Bundle. It comes with the Frosted Gingerbread Stamp Set and the coordinating Gingerbread Dies. Buy them as a bundle and save 10 percent.
The coordinating Gingerbread & Peppermint 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper makes this a versatile and fun combination of products. The colors include Real Red, Old Olive, Early Espresso, and Cinnamon Cider — what might be called your traditional colors.
I love this pack of 48 sheets, You can use the dies to cut the images directly from the paper, as well as use it for accents and backgrounds.
Frosted Gingerbread Mini Cards
I had much fun experimenting with this bundle and just had to make some 3 x 3 mini cards in a variety of designs. Here’s a sample of the traditional colors using pieces cut from the patterned paper.
Mini cards make great teacher gifts, hostess gifts, and stocking stuffers. Or, use them as your own gift tags. They are so easy to make. Cut your base card stock at 6 inches x 3 inches and score at 3 inches. Fold and decorate.
In addition, Stampin’ Up! offers mini envelopes as well as fun acetate boxes that can be decorated to coordinate with the cards. Be sure to view the product list below.

This month we create a handmade greeting using just rubber stamps, ink, and paper with SaleABration products.

I paired the images from the Textures & Frames stamp set with Stampin’ Up!’s Sunny Sentiments stamp set found on page 38 of the Annual Catalog. The sentiments included in this set cover most of the occasions for which I send cards. (Be sure to watch the video at the end of this post to see how this card is created.
