Hello and happy Saturday. I hope you are enjoying your weekend whatever you are doing. For my card today, I have a miss you card using the featured bundle this week, Friends For Life. For this card I wanted to bring in some glitz and glimmer. I hope you like how it turned out. My 9-year-old granddaughter said she thought this was my best card ever....I think it's a stretch, but I know she loves it. To see how I put this card together, be sure to watch the live video replay over on my YouTube channel.
A place to share my love for paper crafting as an independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

Playful Ghosts treat box July 2024 Online Exclusives Sneak Peek
For my sneak peek of the July Online Exclusives collection, I’m sharing a project I made using Playful Ghosts and a die from the Greetings of the Season set. When I first saw these dies, I knew I would have to make some treat boxes using them. This is the first one I’ve made. I love how it turned out and plan to make several more and have them ready for October so I’m not scrambling, like usual, at the last minute to get them finished. 😂 Each box will hold two fun size candy bars (I used Snickers). You can watch the video replay of the live tutorial here.

More sneak peeks for the July 2024 Online Exclusives by Stampin’ Up!®️
Today I’m showing the template as a sneak peek for the Greetings of the Season dies. They will be available beginning July 2024. These dies are very versatile and can be used for any occasion. You'll be seeing some treat boxes coming made with these dies in the near future. It's the main reason I purchased them.

Triangle Treat box using Hearts & Hugs
For my final project this week using the Hearts & Hugs bundle by Stampin' Up!, I created this triangle treat box. I cased the box template from Marisa Alvarez. I loved how easy and unique this box is. You can get three boxes from one 8 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock. Not only is it quick and easy, it's very affordable to make multiples. I put 6 Dark Chocolate kisses in mine, but there are a lot of other small candies (or jewelry) you could put in them. To see how I put my treat box together, you can watch the replay over on YouTube here.

Hearts & Hugs Anniversary card
My featured this bundle is the Hearts & Hugs bundle by Stampin' Up! I'm so happy you stopped by! I thought the walrus image from this bundle would be perfect for an anniversary card. This is a quick and easy card to put together as the Designer Series Paper does a lot of the work for you. A little stamping, coloring and die cutting, and everything is ready to go! Of course, for an even faster card, you don't have to color the walrus couple.

Layers of Beauty Grateful For You
For my final project this week using the Layers of Beauty bundle by Stampin' Up!, I've created this Grateful for You card. It's a pretty simple layout meant to focus entirely on the images in the stamp set and how quickly and easily you can color them with the decorative masks included in the bundle. I've also provided some tips and tricks on how to quickly color a single rose right alongside the large focal image. Be sure to watch the video replay over on YouTube.

Layers of Beauty rose bouquet card
Layers of Beauty is the featured bundle this week. Stampin' Up! just happens to have a sale going this month for all their stamp & die bundles. Be sure to check out the sale here: https://www.stampinup.com/categories/shop-products/featured-products/bundled-savings/stamp-die-bundles?demoid=2109129
I have some tips and tricks to make the layering stencils super easy for you. For this card I focused on the single rose which can be cut from the large rose bouquet. It’s one of the neatest things about this bundle, the ability to take just one rose instead of using the entire image. It definitely has a lot more versatility because of it. Be sure to watch the video replay to see my easy tips and tricks. You’ll find the replay on YouTube here.

Sending Heartfelt Sympathy with Loveliest Tree
The Loveliest Tree bundle by Stampin' Up! lends itself well to creating cards for many different occasions and works extremely well for masculine cards. Today, I'm using the large tree for a sympathy card. I paired it with the Wildflower Designs dies and the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder. It makes the perfect background for the focal image. To see how I've put this card together, you can watch the video replay over on YouTube.
