I am a sucker for coordinating products! The Sale-a-Bration Sunshine & Rainbows Designer paper coordinates beautiful with the new Rainbow of Happiness bundle, but it also coordinates with the Cloud Punch! Not only will you want to punch out clouds to go with the rainbows, but there is a designer paper that has cloud images that fit perfectly in the punch!
I CASEd this project from the Sale-a-bration brochure for this video in which I shared over 40 card ideas using the Sale-a-Bration gift options. There's just a few more weeks or place a qualifying order to earn these exclusive stamp sets and designer paper for FREE!
Here's another card that I made with the Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Paper and Special Moments stamp set. The Special Moments stamp set is my top Sale-a-Bration pick! You can choose this stamp set for free with an order over $100 during Sale-a-Bration. There are so many versatile sentiments in this set. You'll be reaching for it over and over again!

One of my favorite new stamp sets from the January-June 2022 Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog is the Oceanfront stamp set. I love the way these brushstroke images can be used to effortlessly build a scene. Here is a #SimpleStamping notecard that I created in December the first time that I played with this new stamp set.
I inked the sky stamp with Mango Melody and then added Calypso Coral ink with a sponge dauber to create the sunset look.
Watch the replay of my sneak peek video in December to see the evolution of this clean and simple notecard. After the video, I changed to a brighter blue (Coastal Cabana instead of Pool Party) and simplified the other stamping in black ink as shown in the video above.

Valentine's Day is just three weeks away and I've been having lots of fun with the new Sweet Talk Suite from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. Back in December, I created a set of Mini Valentines for my series of sneak peek videos and last week, I shared a quick and easy Valentine treat project during Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie.
I really love these cute Mini Valentines! They remind me of the Valentine cards we used to exchange in school! I started with a 3-1/2" x 5" note card and cut it in half at 2-1/2". I did some simple stamping on the valentine cards and also added some stamped images to the envelopes. To accommodate the mini cards, I cut the notecard envelopes in half (at 2-5/8") and then sealed the open side with a 1" x 3" piece of designer paper folded in half.
The Note Cards & Envelopes fit perfectly in the Mini Paper Pumpkin Boxes, so decorated a box for my mini Valentine's. Just link the mini cards, I kept this really simple and added a piece of 5-1/2" x 5-15/16" (just a "hair" smaller than 6") designer paper and a tag and bow.
Watch my sneak peek video from December for tips on how I created the box and Mini Valentine Cards.
When I was in school, most of the valentines we exchanged were just paper valentines. Times have changed and my kids would bring home mostly candy valentines! These cute little treat boxes are just the right size and make and give out for classroom treats! Or share them with coworkers, book club, or Bible Study friends!
The Mini Envelope die in the Sweet Hearts dies reminded me of the old Petal Card Double Punch, so I remade a favorite project from 2010 to create cute little packaging for bite-size candy.
Watch the replay of Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie to see how I made these cute little candy boxes and see more projects created with the Sweet Talk Valentine's Suite from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog.

I love swapping cards with other demonstrators! I have a group of friends who I swap with whenever there is a new catalog. I love getting getting my swap cards back to see the surprise of what my friends have created! I created this valentine card using the Stampin' Up! Nuts & Bolts stamp set from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. See more cards using this layout + Card Measurements.
Have you ever participated in a swap? I'd love for you to participate in the Great, Big Card Swap! The concept is simple: Send a card! See them all! Get one back! Check out all the details below, but first -- here's a look at the cards we shared for Part 1 of the January 2022 Great, Big Card Swap. The theme for January is "love"! We're sharing cards for Valentine's Day, weddings, anniversaries, and "I love you".
Ready to jump in and participate in the next Great, Big Card Swap?
How does it work? "Send a card! See them all! Get one back!"
It's sounds simple because it is! You create a regular full-size card for the monthly theme. Include a return postage stamp and a sticky note message inside. (I'll provide the return envelopes.) If you're sending ahead for the next month's theme, make sure to write the month on the envelope so I know to hold it for that month.
I will showcase all of the cards in a video so you can see what everyone else created and then I'll send them back! Everyone who sends a card will get one back!
----Starting in March, please limit to 1 swap card per person per month
Send Full Size Card
Write "[Month] Card Swap" on the the envelope if sending for a future theme.
Include return postage stamp. Envelopes will be provided. (Please do NOT include custom envelopes with your card.)
Don't write inside! Include a sticky note or loose paper to say hello.
Send Cards to:

Frequently Asked Questions:
Who can participate in this swap? EVERYONE! This swap is open to all stampers, including Stampin' Up! demonstrators.
Can I use retired or non-Stampin' Up! products? Yes! I want EVERYONE to participate regardless of their paper-crafting collection! I will sort cards before swapping so that stampers who do use current Stampin' Up! product will get cards with current Stampin' Up! product in return.
Can I sign the back of my card? Yes! Please leave the inside blank so the person who receives your card can send it on and bless someone else. But feel free to include your usual maker marking on the back.
What happens if my card doesn't arrive in time? Postal transit times are unpredictable. If your card arrives late, don't worry! I will showcase it in another weekly video and make sure that you get a return swap!
I would love for you to include a note inside the card -- a little about yourself or just a happy greeting to the person who gets your card. Please note, I will remove any solicitations (business cards, business links, etc.)
Attention International Stampers! I would love for you to participate in this swap! Use this Paypal link to pay $5 USD for 3 return postage stamps. (I'll hold them with your name on them to use for future swaps.) I'm worried about transit times, so be sure to mail early or work ahead one month! Mark your envelope with the month/theme you intend to submit the swap.
Privacy Statement: During the showcase video (posted on YouTube and Facebook), I will provide the first and last name of the card maker. If you prefer to be anonymous or only mentioned by first name, please let me know in a written note inside your card. Although I am entering mailing addresses in a spreadsheet, it is for the sole purpose of generating return address labels. Your information will not be shared or sold to a third party, including another swapper. I will never personally use your information for any other reason besides sending return cards for The Great, Big Card Swap.
The Great, Big Card Swap is organized by Julie Davison, Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 2002.
