New Beginnings 2026

Photo Details

Poster: bensarmom

Lisa's challenge is new beginnings. It can be found here. WT1086 - New Beginnings - January 1, 2026 by Shoe Girl at Splitcoaststampers
I chose this cute new paper for my card and I also chose this cute caterpillar from the designer series paper to go on my card. I fussy cut the caterpillar and put him on the circle with dimensionals. When the card was closed, I put the sentiment behind the caterpillar for a surprise when the card was opened. I used a card idea from France Martin called pull-out card. I changed it a bit to include the hidden sentiment but the idea is still the same; you pull out for a greeting. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.

This brings me such joy! SO sweet and clever with all the details, including lining up the leaves in the paper and the awesome element of surprise! I Love that it will brighten up the day of an unsuspecting soul in need of healing. So kind.

Wonderful card, Sue! The little caterpillar is so cute and he really stands out against the dark green circle! The pull-out style is neat!

I do love the caterpillar, and I'm glad you made it the star of your card. I think this will bring the recipient a big old smile.

That caterpillar is just adorable, and what a fun interactive card. Caterpillars are definitely symbolic of new possibilities, too.

The caterpillar steals the whole scene here, and the way you fussy cut and popped him up gives the design such lively movement. The hidden sentiment revealed by the pull‑out mechanism is a perfect fit for the New Beginnings theme, adding a little moment of discovery that feels hopeful and fresh. The coordinated leaves and rich color palette pull everything together beautifully, and this will brighten that hospital tray in the most heartfelt way.

Great card! The pull-out design is really cool. I just can't get enough of the "Cute As A Bug" paper -- the images on it are so adorable.
