A new CROP of craft supplies has been released this week online and with the new Stampin’ Up! 2025 September-December Mini catalog, and you’ll want to pick a few things to perk up your stamping space. Top of my list was the Love & Courage stamp set, which will be used whenever I want to send support to a friend fighting cancer, or any other life challenges:

Not only will my handmade hugs (a.k.a. cards) be filled with hope, but my purchase was a donation, too!

Of course, there will be plenty of pink cards crafted with this stamp set, but today I wanted to use yellow:

The Sunflower 3D embossing folder matches this set perfectly, and I know the gingham ribbon is retired, but this card just HAD to have it. Don’t you agree that it would brighten up the mailbox of someone who needs courage to face the day?

To give it a little more sparkle, I painted with Wink of Stella over the flower: It gives it a shimmery-shine as the card is tilted:

This stamp set is one of the LAST RED RUBBER stamps Stampin’ Up! will offer, as they recently announced that the raw material was becoming too difficult to procure. It makes me a tad nostalgic, for I fell in love with red rubber 33 years ago this month, when I became a demonstrator.
