Today I'm sharing my January – April Mini Catalog Favorites!  This is far from a comprehensive list – I could have picked so much more.  This is the top of my wishlist that you will definetly see in YouTube videos and on my socials (Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest).  Below you'll find a visual list of all my favorites.  After that I'll explain why I put these on the list.

If you want to see more about my thoughts on this catalog and the products inside let me share two videos with you.  The first goes through my pre-order and you'll see not only products but also card samples.  The second is my traditional catalog walkthrough where I share what I like, what I don't and what I recommend you grab quick before it's gone.

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas 2025.  This year has been full of fun travel, family and friends.  Along the way we made cards to celebrate them, cheer them up and comfort them in times of need.  I'm looking forward to 2026 as another year of big growth for us at Ink Stamp and Scrap.  As always, thank you for your support and friendship.

Masculine cards can be so tricky—fewer layers, fewer embellishments… but still tons of style! In today’s video, I’m teaching you one of my all-time favorite techniques for creating bold, layered cards without the bulk: the Triple Time Technique.

This version is completely scaled down—monochromatic, greeting-only stamping, and perfect for the men in your life who prefer clean and simple designs.

I've also included a Christmas Card using the same technique.  This is just as easy to make and would be great if you're still in need of a stash of Christmas cards.

I'm excited to share my New System for Organizing Your Embellishments.  This system isn't really new to me, but it's the first time I'm teaching it in detail.  I'll show you not only how I organize my embellishments, but also where you can find all the supplies.  I've also created a PDF for you to download with all the current embellishments and their coordinating colors.
