Blessing on this 2nd day of Christmas. I hope you had a wonderful celebration with family &/or friends. We had a quiet day with our youngest daughter & her husband. I’m posting a little later today due to the holiday. A very Happy Hanukkah to my Jewish friends.
I hope you have received a January-April ’23 Mini Catalog and the January-February Sale-a-Bration catalog. If not, please contact me & I’ll get a catalog to you. I’ll deliver to you if are local to the STL area (aka St. Louis, “The Lou”, John Hamm’s & Sterling Brown’s hometown, & home to the world renowned Kate Chopin (1851-1904 Novelist- “The Awaking”). If you’re not local to me, I’d be happy to mail the catalogs to you.

Today I’m sharing a new bundle found in the January-April ‘23 Mini Catalog. You might remember that you can order this bundle now & you can also order (while supplies last) the fabulous Holiday “big” sentiments stamp set called “Framed & Festive” & the DSP. The DSP & holiday sentiment will NOT be available after January 4th, so don’t wait.
- Framed & Festive Cling Stamp Set (item 160888)
- Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper (item 161814)
The bundle in the mini catalog will be available through the mini catalog which ends on May 1.

- Framed Florets Bundle (item 162407)
- Framed Florets Photopolymer Stamp Set (item 161815)*
- Framed Florets Dies (item 160623)
My card features the very pretty coordinating DSP; if you’re a lover of the color blue or green you’re sure to love this paper! The colors are: Balmy Blue, Blushing Bride, Crushed Curry, Evening Evergreen, Night of Navy, Polished Pink, Soft Succulent.

The card starts with a base of Evening Evergreen & an embossed Evening Evergreen piece (4 x 5.25) using the Annual Catalog’s Pretty Flowers embossing folder. The DSP was added to the left side. My “Thank you” sentiment was stamped in Evening Evergreen on Basic White & die cut using this set’s oval. I left room at the top so the floral sprig would fit without crowding the sentiment. A close-up below.

The fancy frame is also from the bundle & it was cut in Polished Pink. The ribbon is also Polished Pink. The floral sprig from the set was stamped with black Momento ink, for cut & colored with Stamping Blends, our alcohol markers.

Here are some of the products I used:
