This set is returning in the 2024 Annual Catalog and I'm super glad! It's wonderful for both sympathy or thinking of you cards. And the best part is it's super easy to create with. See the Quiet Reflection set here.
My colors include Shaded Spruce & Starry Sky (retiring In Color). I used a few dies also – Thoughtful Expressions (retired and sold out now) and Garden Meadows dies seen here (for the arch).
Do you know how I achieved the two-toned image of green trees with blue water? It's so simple!
How it's done: I placed my stamp set with the rubber face up. I inked up one half with Starry Sky ink (tapping the rubber with the ink pad) and then the other half with Shaded Spruce. The nice thing about doing this technique with this particular stamp image is that when you place your greeting strip across the image it covers up any white space left un-inked.
I added a few of the Gold Adhesive-backed Dragonflies & Birds seen here. I love these so much! They're super thin and don't add any bulk to your projects.
In the video posted here on YouTube you can see how I made this card and another with an entirely different way to achieve a 2-toned image.
The Beyond the Horizon Paper Pumpkin Kit for March includes watercolor prints and designs inspired by the beautiful nature around us to create nine cards and coordinating envelopes. And paper pieces that perfectly coordinate with the amazing New Horizons Suite Collection seen here in the January–June 2022 Mini Catalog.
Don’t forget the extra FREE stampset in March (yes—that’s two stamp sets in one kit!) as our way of saying THANK YOU to all of our wonderful Paper Pumpkin subscribers.
Details on this kit:
This month’s kit contains enough elements to create 9 cards—3 each of 3 designs—and 9 coordinating envelopes. This all-inclusive kit includes printed card bases, die-cut paper pieces, embellishments, adhesive, and more!

There will be a change in Paper Pumpkin pricing going forward. Here's what Stampin' Up! has recently stated:
Despite Covid’s continued strain on the global economy, Stampin’ Up! has been working diligently to maintain the lowest possible price for our Paper Pumpkin subscription box, including absorbing costs to prevent price increases. However, as we continue to see greater cost increases to raw materials, shipping, and overhead, we have made the decision to increase pricing in order to maintain the high quality and value of the monthly kit. On 1 March 2022, Paper Pumpkin kits will see a slight increase in price.
But, there is a way to get the current prices for Paper Pumpkin and save money going forward. Prepaid codes–both redeemed and unredeemed–purchased before the 1 March price change will maintain their full value. No additional payment will be required.
So here's my suggestion for you:
Purchase a pre-paid subscription in February for 3 month, 6 months, or 12 months and get it at the current lower price for that entire time period! Go here to order yours.
Plus with a pre-paid subscription you can earn free Sale-a-Bration choices at the same time. It's a WIN WIN choice!
And besides the free Sale-a-Bration choice you'll also receive free gifts (Gingham embossing folder & a calendar kit!) from me with your online order in February. See details below.

Here's the bonus project I created with the Hugs & Kisses February kit. It's so fun to use the elements in the kit to create something fun & different!
I changed them up a bit but kept the same premise of a die-cut circle with these gorgeous Honeybee Blooms dies in silhouette. I added a bit of color on the White layer before texturing them. The card above features the Gingham embossing folder.
Here are the 6 cards I made; one with each color of Designer Paper in the Simply Marbelous DSP pack. This beautiful paper is FREE through February, 2022 with any $50 Stampin' Up! order. See it here.
For each card I used one of the greetings in the Honeybee Home stamp set which is part of the Honeybee Home bundle seen here. The greeting dies are from the Ornate Frames dies in the Annual catalog seen here.
This incredible Simply Marbelous 6 X 6" DSP is still available; if you want it I'd get it now while they still have a supply. It's always possible it could run out before the end of February.
One neat thing about this pretty designer paper is each sheet has a softer, less distinct pattern and this beautiful swirly pattern. And each color is a combination of light & dark hues so it works with many, many shades of each color!
New Product Releases! Magnet Board kit, new Blends markers & the All Together bundle & DSP
There are some wonderful new products out this month; just in time to take advantage of Sale-a-Bration too! Here's an update for you.
The All Together collection includes a new stamp & dies bundle, fabulous Black & White 6 X 6" designer series paper and a new set of flesh toned blends. Click here to see it all.
In the photo below I colored one of the sheets of the All Together DSP with the 3 lightest set of the new Blends plus the Ivory too. I think these are also great for coloring animals or when you need a neutral color tone.
