Pals Blog Hop January 2026: Nature Walk
Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month’s theme is “Something New.” If you’re looking for inspiration and a reason to play with your craft supplies, this hop is for you! We hope to inspire you with card ideas and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. Links to the participant’s blogs can be found at the end of each post to help you “hop” along!
Something New was a difficult theme to create with (to say the least). Between the new Mini-Catalog, Online Exclusives, Kit’s Collection, Product of the Month (and more), Stampin’ Up!® has so many new things to choose from. How in the world does a crafter choose? I asked myself the following questions…
- What colors align with my favorites?
- Which new product(s) will give me the most mileage?
- Finally, do I have it in my studio (aka “Tack Room”)?
Nature Walk Collection of products (by Stampin’ Up!®) answered all three questions. The delicate leaf spray requires lots of support. Be prepared to use several Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to prop it up. The detail in this die makes Clean & Simple beautiful.
January, a time to reflect, clean and plan. It can be just as hectic as December. Time for a Clean and Simple (CAS) approach for your card making. At least for this month. White on white is my “go to” for a CAS project.
