Welcome to our January Blog Waddle! We call ourselves ducklings, so we waddle from blog post to blog post, instead of hop!! We are featuring products from the just released Sale-A-Bration brochure, January-April Mini-Catalog, Online Exclusives, January 2025 Scrapbooking brochure, and Kits!
Here is a sneak peek of my card.
I was going to focus on a Sale-A-Bration item, but when I woke up to snow this morning, I wanted a small sign of Spring!! So I grabbed the Delightful Wishes Bundle (#164710) found in the new Mini-Catalog! I started with a Pool Party card base 4-1/2″ x 8-1/2″.
Next is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Pool Party, embossed with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder (#163414). The branch was die cut in Pecan Pie. I stamped the flowers in Lemon Lolly and Daffodil Delight and the leaves in Old Olive, then die cut them. Wishing was die cut in Daffodil Delight for the background and Basic White for the word. The sentiment was stamped in Daffodil Delight, die cut, and adhered with small strips of Mini-Stampin Dimensionals (#144108). Thank goodness for Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755) to adhere everything else on this card!! I added a bow of Daffodil Delight 1/8″ Satin Ribbon (#164715) to complete my card.

Here’s to another year of stamping, crafting, creating, scrapbooking and cherishing the moments that make life extraordinary.
So happy you are hopping through our December Paper Crafting Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world featuring silver or gold on our projects! Here is a sneak peek of my card. Below my full card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers.
My card features the Season of Green & Gold DSP (#164324), a part of the Season of Green & Gold Suite (#164121) which also includes the Golden Greenery Stamp Set (#164331) and the Golden Greenery Dies (164116). These are also a part of the Golden Greenery Bundle (#164117).
My card base is Mossy Meadow, with a layer of Season of Green & Gold DSP (#164324). I used the dies to cut the boughs and branches from the Season of Green & Gold DSP (#164324). Isn’t that cool they match?!
I cut a circle from the Spotlight on Nature Dies (#163580) in a gold pattern from the Season of Green & Gold DSP (#164324). Then I die cut branches from Gold Foil Sheets (#132622) using dies from the Lifetime of Love Dies (#162583). I built the cluster from the bottom up, completing it with the sentiment from Greetings of the Season (#164325) Merry stamped in Mossy Meadow and Christmas stamped in VersaMark ink (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678). I completed my card with a bow in Gold from the Gold & Silver 1/8″ Trim Combo Pack (#161633). Did you know there are gold adhesive dots in the Blooming Pearls (#162238)?
