January Product of the Month BLOG HOP! (5 cards shared here)......

 The Stampin'UP "Product of the Month" for January is the Fabulous Sayings stamp set.  This very versatile set can be bought for just $5.00 with a single purchase of $75 in January!!  I love these stamps and have made 5 cards to share featuring the set.  

 

Along with these sentiments, I have used the same paper on all 5 cards as well.  On pg. 25 in the current Spring Mini Catalog, you will find the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper. 

 

On this Valentine creation, I used the Nested Essentials Dies and With You In Mind stamp set.

 

The featured DSP and POM are shown on this card.  I also used some White Bakers Twine and pc. of a Gold Foil Sheet to bring out the gold in the designer paper.

 

Petal Pink was used for the card base here, and I added some Fresh Freesia card stock for the sentiment.

This 5th and final card shows 3 separate designs of that lovely paper!!  Of course, the "hello" comes in the POM stamp set......

Do you have a favorite of these card samples?  (please leave a comment and let me know).  Also, please "hop" from one stamping blog to another and see what all the demo participants have come up with.  Just click on the links below, and enjoy all the samples featuring the "Fabulous Sayings" stamp set!!

3 Card Samples featuring products from the 2025-26 Annual StampinUP Catalog.....

 

For this card sample, I used the Silly Safari stamp set shown on pg. 83

Along with that, I'm showcasing the following products:

--Black Bakers Twine

--1 7/8 Circle Punch

--Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder

--Nested Essentials Dies

--Old Olive Designer Paper 6 x 6 

 

  

Along These Lines is the featured stamp set from pg. 95

Textured Notes Dies were used as well as an embossing folder that is retired I think.  The sentiment comes from the Blooming Phrases set which is a retired Online Exclusive product. 

 

 

 From the current Annual Catalog, I used Vanilla Bakers Twine, Beautiful Gallery DSP, and the Wonderful Thoughts Dies (pg. 101)

I "cased" this card from pg. 21 in the current Holiday Mini Catalog.  A couple things were changed up a bit, but my creation turned out very similar to the catalog sample.

The lovely Traditions of Christmas Designer Series Paper was used along with the Traditional Sparkling Sequins and the Real Red Shiny Ribbon. 

  

 

This black bear was cut out from the North Pole Delivery Designer Paper.  The red and vanilla pattern comes from this same paper pack (pg. 29-- Holiday Mini).
