The book & tea lover in me immediately added the Every Chapter Cling Stamp to my Jan-June 2022 Mini Catalog must have shopping list. There are so many possibilities for coloring in this great stamp. I chose to color the image for this card with Watercolor Pencils.
I wanted my card to have lots of bright color so I picked this pretty heart pattern from the Pattern Party DSP that is available as a host reward in the Annual Catalog. I love how it looks on the Granny Apple Green card base.
I wanted to add some dimension to the book images when adding them to my card so I snipped them apart after I colored them.
To add the book pieces to my card, I put Stampin’ Dimensionals on the end of the images with the pages, and a Mini Glue Dot on the other end. This allowed them to be a bit popped up on my card front as if they were actually stacked at an angle. I used Mini Glue Dots to adhere the cup and glasses to top of the stack. I brushed the glasses with a Wink of Stella to give them a shimmery look.

I knew as soon as I saw the Brave Vikings cling stamp set in the Mini Catalog, that this would be a great set to create my Mom’s Birthday Card. Happy Birthday Mom!!
I wanted the Vikings and the Ship to be the focal point of the card, so I decided to create the background with the image of the ship. I stamped the ship in Crumb Cake ink on the Crumb Cake cardbase.
I stamped the Vikings in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on some scrap Basic White cardstock. These are great images if you enjoy coloring. I used Stampin’ Blends to color them and then fussy cut them out to add to my card.
I adhered a piece of Basic White Cardstock to the inside of the card and added the viking to the inside. How cute is the inside of the card with this fierce viking?
I die cut a circle using the Layering Circles dies. I adhered the circle to my cardbase and the viking to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment on Basic White cardstock and die cut it with the message die. I cut a second label in Crumb Cake cardstock with the message dies as well and layered them together. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals attached it to the cardbase.
Crumb Cake Cardbase: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score in half at 4-1/4″
Basic White Cardstock inside of card: 4″ x 5-1/4″

The first thing I did was to cut the Symbols of Fortune DSP, then the Mother of Pearl Specialty Paper to layer beneath the DSP. Once I adhered the layers together, I arranged the together until I was happy with the look before I added them to the cardbase.
I attached the larger rectangle layer with the Soft Succulent Crane Pattern to the Smoky Slate Cardbase first, then added the smaller rectangle with the reeds next. Before adding the Square with the Foil Accent I added a few strips of Tear & Tape and added a piece of the Soft Succulent Shimmer Ribbon. Once the ribbon was added I adhered the square layer to my card. I wanted the ribbon to lay across the front of my card, to hold it in place I added a small piece of Tear & Tape to hold it in place.
Using the Crane of Fortune Bundle, I stamped a few of the dragon flies in Calypso Coral on a piece of Basic White cardstock and die cut them. I used the Tasteful Labels dies to cut the circle label, and stamped the sentiment in Soft Succulent. I adhered the dragon files to the label with some Mini Glue dots.
I added the label to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish off my card I added a few Polished Dots. I love all the soft colors in this card. I hope you do too!

This month, my cards were created with Valentine’s Day in mind. I decided to use the Celebrate You stamp set and the Sweet Talk DSP, both are available in the Jan-June 2022 Mini Catalog.
Before creating my card, I wanted to make some colorful hearts. So, using Blending Brushes, I brushed the same colors of ink that are in the Sweet Talk DSP on a piece of Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used the smaller heart from the Heart Punch Pack to punch out the hearts. I love the soft colors (the Subtles color family is my favorite) and I have lots of extras to use on more cards or other projects.
My Basic White Cardbase is cut to 4-1/4″x11″. I cut a piece of Sweet Talk DSP at an angle to add the bottom of my card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Then added a few pieces of Tear & Tape along the edge of the DSP to add a piece of Real Red Faux Linen Ribbon. I wanted to be sure to leave some white space between the ribbon and DSP.
I used my Stamp-a-majig to add the sentiment along the edge of the ribbon. You could also use the Stamparatus to line up the sentiment before stamping.
I punched the scalloped hearts from the Heart Punch Pack to layer behind the hearts I created earlier. I added the hearts to my card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. As much as I LOVE to add bling to a card, I decided to add just a subtle touch with a Wink of Stella, I brushed it lightly on the tiny hearts on the DSP. I tired get a good picture of the shimmer but that was not to be. Anyway, I wanted the bling to be subtle so these could be given as masculine Valentine’s cards. However, you could dress them up with some Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Polished Dots or even the From My Heart Faceted Gems.

I started with a Crumb Cake cardbase. Then I cut a piece of the Symbols of Fortune DSP to 4″x5-1/4″. I added a bit of Tear & Tape on the back side of the DSP to adhere a piece of Soft Succulent Satin Shimmer Ribbon. Then adhered it to my cardbase.
To create the label, I stamped the sentiment from the Crane of Fortune Stamp set in Calypso Coral on a scrap of Basic White Cardstock. Using the Label Me Lovely Punch, I punched the label so that the sentiment is close to the bottom of the label. Then, attaching a scrap piece of cardstock to the back of the label, I put it back in the punch to crop it a bit closer to the sentiment from the top, as you can see in the picture above.
Before adding the label to the card, I punched a second label from Calypso Coral cardstock. I cut it in half and adhered it to the Basic White label. Then I added it to my card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. To my surprise the label fit nicely over the ribbon. For the final touch I added a few Polished Dots.

My Thank You Cards this month feature 2 new products, The Sentimental Swirls Stamp Set available in the Jan- June 2022 Mini Catalog and the Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper from the Friendly Hello Bundle available in the Jan-Feb Sale-a-Bration Brochure.
Using the Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper, I cut 2 Patterns for the card front. Stacking them together to cut them at the same time, I put them on my Paper Trimmer to cut them diagonally.
Using the largest card from the Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes pack as my card base, I attached 2 different patterns of the DSP I cut with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I love the look of the 2 patterns together on the card front. Cutting them together made it very easy to match them up so they fit together nicely when I put them on the card front.
I die cut the label in Basic White with the Tasteful Labels dies. Using my new favorite stamp set from the Mini Catalog, Sentimental Swirls, I stamped the Thank You in Fresh Freesia. The butterflies are stamped in Granny Apple Green and Petal Pink on the label. Then I decided to stamp them again and fussy cut them out to add with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I used the Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon to add to the back of the sentiment with some Stampin’ Seal adhesive. Then I used the Foam Adhesive Sheets, cut a square and put that over top of the ribbon. This will keep the label from sagging and the ribbon in place. If you haven’t tried the Foam Adhesive sheets yet, give them a try. They are very easy to cut to whatever shape you need, and give a little extra support to whatever elements you use them with.
After attaching the label to the card, I added the extra butterflies that I fussy cut. I like the extra dimension of adding them with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I couldn’t resist adding a Wink of Stella to the to make them shimmer. For the finishing touch, I added a few of the Opal Rounds to the cards.
