Special Delivery January 2026 PPP Blog Hop

Welcome to our monthly blog hop to explore all sorts of possibilities for alternative designs for our Paper Pumpkin January 2026 Special Delivery kit.

The Special Delivery kit features 9 cards, 3 designs/3 of each design with coordinating printed envelopes.

I used every stamp image in the stamp set to make my card and the negative from the sheet of "stamps" included in the kit. 

My card base is a11" x 4-1/4" of Bubble Bath card stock, scored at 5-1/2" and folded.

I placed the negative down as a template and placed each stamp into the openings.   Then I placed my giant size clear block down to collect the stamps.  Set aside the template, ink the stamps with Gray Granite Stampin' Pad and stamp the card front.  I used liquid glue to adhere the template into place.  

I did have one empty place, so I inked only the word "LOVE" from the "sending love" stamp to fill in the last square. 

The interior has the last sentiment.  I added ribbon and gems to finish my design.  You can see my supply list at the end of my post.

Pretty in Pink is my feature in this card and it surprised me that our new Bubble Bath ribbon looks so nice with these layers of pink!

There is a layer of embossing hidden to surprise you as you open the card. I turned the Lovely Stripes 3D embossing folder and used the lines horizontally.

And the interior has a cheery greeting for birthday celebrating!

Hobby Haven Bliss

 

Have you seen our Hobby Haven Suite?  It is stunning!

I was so excited to share my Hobby Haven class from the past weekend Crop in Boise.  This suite is so fun and full of amazing versatility.  The ribbon will be back in stock around January 12th but all of the other products in the suite are available to order.

This is the stamping station and class display.  I featured an assortment of fancy fold cards.

Card #1 was inspired by Ronda Wade.

Card #2 was inspired by a friend, Karin Sommer.

Card #3 double z-fold was inspired by Jacque Williams.

Card #4 was my own inspiration.

If you like my class cards, you can receive the tutorial PDF free with your purchase of these Hobby Haven suite products. 

The following prjects are all designed by Stampin' Up! and are the online store samples.  I present a little blurb for each sample below:

Let's get artsy and creative is the first design sample.

Every book lover needs a collection of specialty bookmarks.

A sweet petite gift with some self-care lotion inside, is my guess!

I love the curtain, rod, and clips on this card.  So many great details in this lovely corner full of lush plants!

Great idea for layering that label tag as a background!

Cute packaging!

Of course we can use sentiments with other product themes!
