One of my favorite nights of the month is Mystery Monday Stamping—and if you’ve ever joined me live, you know why. On the 2nd and 4th Monday of every month, stampers from all over the world gather together with one thing in common: we love stamps, ink, paper… and a good mystery!
This week’s Mystery Monday clues came together to create this beautiful birthday card using the Brushed with Beauty Collection from Stampin’ Up! The soft florals, earthy greens, and layered textures make this card feel elegant, warm, and perfect for celebrating someone special.
But here’s the truth…
The real beauty of Mystery Monday isn’t just the card — it’s the community.

Every Mystery Monday, friends from near and far stamp along together. We laugh, we guess, we sometimes cut the wrong thing (and roll with it!), and we encourage each other every step of the way. It’s not about perfection — it’s about connection, creativity, and confidence.

This layered design features:
- Soft floral designer paper
- A bold vertical accent panel
- A sentiment strip that pulls it all together
- And just a hint of dimension with those sweet little butterfly embellishments
And the best part? Everyone started with the same clues, but no two cards ever turn out exactly the same. That’s the magic of Mystery Monday.

Same Clues, Totally Different Card
One of the things I love most about Mystery Monday Stamping is showing just how versatile one layout can truly be. Using the exact same clues, I created this second card with the Made With Love Suite Collection—and the feel is completely different!
This version is bright, bold, and full of love with layers of reds, pinks, and playful patterns. The heart-filled designer paper, polka dot panel, and sweet little heart embellishments make this card perfect for:
- Valentine’s Day
- Anniversaries
- Thinking of You
- Just Because happy mail
What started as a birthday card layout with floral elegance transformed beautifully into a cheerful “Hugs & Kisses” love card—proving once again that Mystery Monday clues work for every occasion and every style.
And just like always…
My favorite part isn’t just the finished card — it’s watching our stamping community bring these clues to life in their own way. Everyone uses what they have, adds their own personality, and no two cards ever look the same. That’s the heart of Mystery Monday Stamping.
✨ Even better news: The Made With Love Suite Collection will be available for customers to order in January, so be sure to check back for ordering details!
If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, I would LOVE for you to join us next time. Bring your supplies, bring your curiosity, and, most of all, bring yourself. You’ll always be welcome at my stamping table. 💕
