Hey! I’m back from my holiday hiatus and am excited to be sharing the Fluffiest Friends Honey Bear Card. Have you seen the Fluffiest Friends Bundle? It’s one of the Online Exclusives found only the Stampin’ Up! website. Like many companies, Stampin’ Up! is now offering additional products online that you’ll not find in printed catalogs. Here’s a link to check out the Online Exclusives.
The Fluffiest Friends Bundle coordinates beautifully with the Bee Mine Product Suite in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. The honey bear card uses the sentiment from the Bee My Valentine Stamp Set and the honey pots are fussy cut from the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper to complete the scene. The tree limb, grass, leaves and beehive are die cuts using the Fluffiest Friends Dies from the bundle. You’ll find an assembly video and project materials listed below.

It’s two weeks until Christmas…are your gifts wrapped yet? I still have gifts to wrap but am ready with gift tags for the presents. In last month’s card class, we made Christmas gift tags using the Sending Cheer Bundle from the Sept-Dec. Mini Catalog from Stampin’ Up! Combining the Sending Cheer Christmas gift tags with the Tailor Made Tags Dies makes creating quick and easy. Need multiples?…It’s a breeze to do! To add “a little extra” use the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder but you can substitute with any embossing folder.
If you haven’t purchased the Sending Cheer Bundle – act fast! It’s on the Last Chance retiring list. It may not arrive in time to use for this Christmas but you’ll have it for next year. Plus there are elements appropriate for year round use. In addition, the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder is also retiring and is currently discounted too.
Cut Dimensions:
Basic White Cardstock: (3) 2-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ for tag die cuts; 2″ x 4″ (3) for stamping
Real Red Cardstock: 2-1/4″ x4-1/4″ (tag die cut), scrap for sentiment layering
Smoky Slate Cardstock: 2-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ (tag die cut)
Basic Black Cardstock: 2-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ (tag die cut)
Red & White Glitter Paper (retired): 2-1/2″ x 2″ for die cut on presents (or use cardstock and add shimmer with Wink of Stella)

It’s time to prepare holiday cards and today’s project features the Joy of Noel Stamp Set from the Stampin’ Up! Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog. The Joy Of Noel Holiday card is a simple, beautiful card. Even better, the design uses the “one sheet wonder” technique! You stamp on a full sheet of cardstock and then cut to create four panels for cards. This enables you to create four cards in one quick swoop! If you’re not familiar with this stamping technique, it’s demonstrated in the assembly video below.
One quick note…If you don’t currently own this stamp set (or the Joy of Noel Bundle with the coordinating dies), order soon! The set is being retired!
Joy of Noel Holiday Card Cut Dimensions:
First cut of stamped/colored Thick Basic White Cardstock: 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″
Second cut: 5-1/4″ x 4″ Card Bases: (4) 5-1/2″ x 11″; score/fold at 4-1/4″

Have you tried the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks yet? In this month’s All About Autumn card class, the decorative masks were used to create beautiful Abundant Beauty Sunflowers cards. There are four different masks for creating the sunflower. What’s great is that each mask is numbered so you use each in order to layer the ink colors. In addition to the numbers, there is a notch in each of the masks. This makes it easy to ensure proper alignment. In the assembly video, you’ll see how easy it is to use the masks. When designing the card, I couldn’t stop at just one! So two sunflower card samples were created using the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks. Splotches have been stamped onto the card on the left using a stamp from the Color and Contour Stamp Set. Which do you prefer?
Abundant Beauty Sunflowers Cards Cut Dimensions:
Pecan Pie Cardstock: 4-1/4″ x 11″ (score/fold at 5-1/2″); scrap piece for punched sentiment layer
Crumb Cake Cardstock: 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″
Very Vanilla Cardstock: 2 pieces 4″ x 5-1/4″; scrap for punched sentiment layer

The Abundant Beauty Masks includes three additional decorative masks. This offers more creative options to make gorgeous card background panels.
