The start of the new year is always a time to reflect on what happened and then set some goals for the new year. One of those for me this year is to communicate with you more. What that means to me is this...I'll send out a monthly newsletter with all the available news and information from Stampin' Up!© and weekly blog posts to share information and projects with you.
If you are not familiar, let me share with you some of my other social media platforms that may be of interest to you.
If you like to share your projects through card swaps, you may consider joining my Sweets Signatures Card Swap group. There are at least three swaps every month...so much to choose from.
I go live on Facebook in my In Da Craft Room With Caron Group regularly to share projects and tutorial videos (don't worry, I often share these videos on YouTube also, so you won't miss out).
January is a huge month...lots of new releases all beginning January 7, 2025...take a look...

Creative Inspiration with a Color Combination
Here's this month's color combination:
And here's the project it inspired:
The Wildly Flowering Suite features hand-painted patterned papers in rich tones and sketched floral image stamps perfect for building your own floral scenes.
Images from the Wildflower Designs Cling Stamp Set were stamped randomly on a rectangle of Basic White Cardstock (3" x 4½"), using Early Espresso, Misty Moonlight, and Wild Wheat Classic Stampin' Inks. The stamped panel was adhered to a Misty Moonlight Cardstock mat.
The sentiment, from the same stamp set, was stamped on a strip of Basic White Cardstock (1" x 3½") using Early Espresso Classic Stampin' Ink. The right side was cut to form a flag shape using Paper Snips. The sentiment banner was adhered to a Wild Wheat stitched hexagon, cut using the die from the coordinating Wildflower Designs Dies. A length of Wild Wheat ⅜" (1 cm) Rustic Striped Ribbon was folded into thirds and adhered to the back of the hexagon using Glue Dots.
The sentiment element was added to the stamped layer, and the whole panel adhered to a rectangle of the burlap design paper from the Wildly Flowering 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper. Night of Navy Regal Foiled Adhesive-Backed Dots were added as additional embellishments. The completed panel was adhered to an Early Espresso folded card base.
