Happy Saturday! Only two more days until Christmas, can you believe it? Here's a little last minute gift card holder you can make with supplies you have on hand. You can watch the video replay to see how I put this card together on YouTube. It really isn't very difficult and can be accomplished in under an hour from start to finish. I've made my card as a birthday card, but it can easily be adapted for Christmas or any occasion. Imagine the look on your recipient's face, when they open it!
A place to share my love for paper crafting as an independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

'Tis the Season for Merriest Trees
Happy Saturday! Today I'm attending a Stampin' Up! virtual event called Onstage Online. I'm seeing new product, product demonstrations and participating in some business events. It's always so much fun to learn new things and to see new products in action. This event is for demonstrators only, and you can attend the next event which will be a 3-day live event in Houston, Texas, in March 2024, when you join my team. I'm using the Merriest Trees bundle of products for my card today. I absolutely love this set and it's very versatile. I especially love how you can decorate the trees (or not), have so many different sizes of trees and use it for just about any occasion. It also features A Walk in the Forest DSP, which is Stampin' Up!'s philanthropic product for this season. $3 of each and every package of this paper sold, will be donated to various nonprofit organizations bringing cheer to those in need. You get beautiful paper and the joy of knowing your dollars are being used to help others! It's a win-win in my opinion. To see how I've put this card together, be sure to check out my YouTube channel here to watch the video replay.

Magical Meadow Flip Flap fun fold
Can you believe we're nearing the end of the year and tonight we fall back to standard time? It’s full on holiday crafting for the next six weeks! As this posts today, we are having our annual Christmas Card making day, spending time with friends and getting our cards ready to mail. I will actually be working on my holiday treat boxes. I have a LOT to make, and I barely just finished up those Halloween ones. I’m hoping to get a little ahead so time doesn’t get away from me. This particular bundle, can be used for so many occasions though. In fact, I didn’t really make Christmas cards with it, these would make great birthday, sympathy, or even wedding cards for someone. To see how I’ve created this look, watch the video replay on YouTube HERE:

Magical Meadows Winter Wishes with watercoloring
Now that Halloween is past, it’s time to get moving on to all things wintery. I’m starting off using Magical Meadows which can be used for multiple occasions, not just the holidays. This layout is inspired by one used during the World Cardmaking Day event put on by Stampin’ Up! I didn’t have one of the sets used, so I substituted this bundle along with the Nested Essentials dies to create this card. If you would like to see how I achieved this look, watch the video replay on my YouTube channel HERE:
