FREE TUTORIAL! Sneak Peek Alert: A Simple Love Note Card

Published 10 days ago • 3 min read

Hello Reader,

The new Hope Love & Joy Bundle is stepping onto the scene January 6, 2026, and I couldn’t resist giving it an early spotlight. This little notecard shows how easy it is to create something heartfelt with just a few stamps, a touch of color, and a clean layered layout. It’s the kind of project that feels quick, calm, and satisfying, yet still delivers that “made with love” moment when it lands in someone’s mailbox.

If you missed yesterday’s sketch, be sure to take another look. It’s the perfect starting point for creating with your favorite Stampin’ Up! suites.
