Happy New Year!
Yesterday I posted some of my favorite card designs from 2025. (If you missed that post, you can view it HERE.) Did you guess my most popular blog post last year was my fun fold calendar cards?
My 2025 calendar cards were created using the Thoughtful Journey 6×6 Designer Series Paper (still available for purchase in my online store). The kits sold out quickly; however, the tutorial is available for $3.
Here’s a new version for 2026 showcasing a sneak peek at the Cute As A Bug Suite Collection from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! January-April Mini Catalogue (available Jan. 6th).
Stamp Set: Dec. 2017 Paper Pumpkin

The “Have A Great Day” sentiment I used is from the Dec. 2017 Paper Pumpkin stamp set. Paper Pumpkin has so many great sentiments!! I keep a copy of all the Paper Pumpkin stamp sets in a 3-ring binder. It is a great resource for when I’m looking for a special sentiment. You can view/print the PDF of the Paper Pumpkin stamps below.
