Happy Monday! It’s a short week – have you heard there’s a holiday coming up!? 😉 Enjoy getting ready for the big feast! Be sure your stretchy pants are clean and ready to wear!! 🙂
Now – I waited almost a WHOLE week before diving into my pre-order goodies from the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog! I picked a stamp set that caught my eye right away – it’s part of the new January 2026 Online Exclusives – the A Round of Hellos stamp set. And I paired it up with the new Love Notes 6″ x 6″ Mix & Match DSP (from the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini) – both of which you can get on 6 Jan! Take a look-see:
Yeah – you MIGHT see a couple of OTHER new things here and there on this one!
The layout was inspired by the sketch at the Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge!
I did a quick video on how to make this pretty card, which is posted on Instagram. If you’d like to give that a watch – click here!
I started by trimming a piece of the Love Notes 6″ x 6″ Mix & Match DSP down to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ – then I adhered it to the front of a Soft Sea Foam card base with Liquid Glue.
I used the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch to cut out a circle from a SECOND design of the Love Notes 6″ x 6″ Mix & Match DSP – and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
On a piece of Soft Sea Foam cardstock, I stamped the cool circle sentiment from A Round of Hellos in Garden Green ink and punched it out with the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch.
On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the leaves from A Round of Hellos in Garden Green ink. Then I stamped the flower in Flirty Flamingo and the little flower center in Daffodil Delight.
Then I cut it out with a 2″ Circle Punch and adhered it to the middle of the Soft Sea Foam circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the whole thing to the card front with Liquid Glue.
I picked a yellow flower sprig and a butterfly from the new Softest Spring Mix & Match Puffy Stickers and adhered them to the card front.
I added a 1/2″ x 2 1/4″ strip of the Love Notes 6″ x 6″ Mix & Match DSP – from the part I’d trimmed for the card front – with Liquid Glue (and a double-stacked Stampin’ Dimensionals under the right side).
On a 3/8″ wide strip of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the A Round of Hellos sentiment in Garden Green ink. I snipped angled ends and then adhered it over the DSP strip with Liquid Glue.
I added five white Pearlized Faceted Circles (new in the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini and available on 6 Jan) – and the card front was done.
On the inside, I stamped another sentiment from A Round of Hellos in Garden Green ink on a Basic White panel. In the corner, I stamped the flower images again.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the Soft Sea Foam card base and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the A Round of Hellos flower on the front…
…and again on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! See? How fun is the A Round of Hellos set? More than just the flower will fit inside the cool circle sentiment – I love curvy sentiments, don’t you?! And being able to use circle punches just adds to the appeal for me! And the new Love Notes 6″ x 6″ Mix & Match DSP is so pretty! There’s all sorts of sentiment-sized panels in the pack – cut them up and make ALL your Valentine’s cards or use it I did!
I hope you like!

Finn Fan Fix 
Finn showed up at the back door with…something…lovingly clutched in his mouth.
It was small – and hard to see.
This side wasn’t much better.
Ahhh….it’s getting clearer.
After I convinced him that Mr….whatever…had to stay in the house – he reluctantly gave it up.
Little baby squirrel. Patiently awaiting Finn’s return.
