Small Stamp & Die Sets with BIG results featuring new products from Altenew

Welcome to the May 2026 blog hop to celebrate the new release from Altenew! There is inspiration, giveaways and more!

Today I’m sharing how one small stamp & die set can be used to make cards with lots of impact! I’m featuring the Mini Delight: Timeless Glow Stamp & Die Set.

I made one simple card and one stepped up card, both to illustrate how these Mini Delight sets can be so fun to work with. They may be small, but they are mighty!

Here is my tutorial sharing both of the cards.

Whether you keep it super simple, or a little stepped up, I hope you’ll check out the entire Mini Delight collection.

    Great card design-as always. This release with the furniture is so different. Lots of designs for wallpaper to go with the furniture. Love the sentiment with your card. Perfect card to cheer someone up.

  4. Char says

    Love this! How fun to have a set with furniture and a chance to use dsp as wallpaper. Your card makes me smile.

  5. Lauryne Cunningham says

    I love the two different looks you got with this set! The floor is really cool on the stepped up one!

    Cathy, your second card is stunning. I need to rewatch how you made the flooring. I’m going to try a couple of the suggestions I saw in the chat replay. Hate that I missed this Live Premiere this morning. (I’ve temporarily lost my hearing in my left ear) watching videos is hard when you can’t hear.

    Pretty card Cathy! You are right, I find I often use the mini-delight stamps to make cards, so much that I became a subscriber! They are very budget friendly stamp sets and are great for making quick cards. Thanks for inspiring us with your card.

  9. Hanna Lyons says

    Cathy: The damask pattern is one of my favorites. I use it as a basic design because it is ALWAYS a beautiful addition. You have used it in such a beautiful way. Your cards are amazing! Love them, great inspiration

    Love your cards! that stamp definitely makes a perfect vintage wallpaper background! I am loving the mini delight die sets and have purchased quite a few of them recently. Love how you did two versions to show how to change things up!
