New at SU! Sketch with Hobby Haven

Did you know that NEW PRODUCTS are added to the Stampin’ Up!® Store EVERY MONTH? No more waiting for a catalog launch…there is ALWAYS something NEW at SU!!

Speaking of that, I’m proud to be a part of a creative team of demonstrators from around the globe who share stamping ideas with you every month, focusing on the latest and greatest products from our wonderful company. For December, we’re all following the same CARD SKETCH, and will demonstrate how it can be used with many different Stampin’ Up! products:

This is one of the sketches included in the
2026 January-April Mini Catalog!

My birthday card combines the delightful Hobby Haven Designer Series Paper with the Banner Sayings Bundle (stamps + punch), both of which arrived last month. Apparently some of you knew to look for new items, for the Banner Sayings bundle is backordered until late January, but the good news is you can request an EMAIL NOTIFICATION to be sent to you when any item is back in stock: Just click on it to add to your cart, and enter your address in the pop-up box which alerts you that it’s out of stock.

The Hobby Haven pack of Designer Series Paper includes 2 sheets of pre-cut images, so that made it easy to group all these kitchen/baking items together, along with the kitchen-themed patterned paper. In addition to BAKING, there are patterns and die cut images for SEWING, READING, SELF-CARE, GREEN-THUMBS/PLANTS… all the cozy hobbies!

This card already has a home to go to: It’s for my sister’s birthday in May! She’s an avid & generous baker, and my husband often says if there is such a thing as reincarnation, he wants to come back as her child, just to enjoy her baking 🧁

Drop me a message (comments at the top of post, under date) before moving along to see how Rachael interprets this card sketch!

Gumdrop Cookies

My favorite holiday cookie recipe is GUMDROP COOKIES and I wanted to share it with you today! This recipe was given to me by my cousin Sharla when we were in High School and until they are baked, my holidays really haven’t begun 🙂

 Recipe:
1 c. shortening
3/4 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
2 c. flour
1 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt
2 c. quick oats
1 c. coconut
1 c. gumdrops, diced
Cream shortening and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla, beat until creamy. Sift & add dry ingredients. Add oats and coconut and diced gumdrops. This is the stickiest part of the recipe…I use my kitchen shears to cut up the gumdrops, but I have to stop and clean the scissors occasionally. You’ll notice there are NO black gumdrops in my bowl. I have a bunch left if anyone wants to drop by and eat the nasty things for me. If you hurry, I’ll give you a cookie, too!
Roll dough into balls and place on greased cookie sheet (press balls flat if you like crunchier cookies…I like them chewy, so I don’t press them down)
Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
Then you can set them out for Santa on Christmas Eve (or eat them for breakfast because they do have oatmeal in them, after all…)
 I stamped the plate years ago at one of my stamp camps! Isn’t it cute? Santa loves gumdrop cookies 🙂
But I wish he’d send the elves over to clean up after me…
