Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing projects showcasing either the December 2025 (True Blue Floral dsp) or January 2026 (Fabulous Sayings stamp set) product of the month. I have decided to use both products on my card as both are still available in the UK.

Colours used in this card are:

 

I created the product of the month card using the following supplies:

Night of Navy card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
True Blue Florals dsp – 5¼” by 3½” x 3
Basic White – 2½” by 2½”
Basic White – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White

 

I stacked the 3 panels of True Blue Floral dsp one on top of the other, took them to my Paper Trimmer and cut them into 3 pieces.

I took one piece from each pattern and arranged them on the 5⅜” by 3⅝” piece of Basic White card leaving a small gap between them. They were then glued in place.

I ran the whole panel through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Damask Designs Embossing Folder to add texture, the whole panel was glued to the Night of Navy card front.
